Oatmeal Bread
Museli Bar
Spandauer
Tebirke
Cinnamon Roll
Independently owned in Valby, the store tucked away on the inner sidewalk of a park, Vores Brød kicked off an early Thursday en route to Sweden by way of Copenhagen Central Station, the doors unlocked at 07h00 with a great waft of yeast quickly greeting guests who’d been waiting and the young woman behind the counter ready to answer questions though the majority of the morning’s lot was still on racks with prices and descriptions nowhere to be seen.
Small in footprint and even more condensed in customer space, the ovens and countertops taking up the bulk of the store with no seating indoors or out, it was instead with two warm bags in hand that a collection of five treats was taken to a small bench in the park to be enjoyed, first bites of an Organic Oatmeal Roll showing a good crust and chewy interior full of toasty notes while the Tebirke to follow unfortunately saw almost the entire shellacking of Poppy Seeds fall to the ground during the first bite, the lost balance to a thick layer of Butter and Sugar filling leaving the pastry sort of one note and not unlike a Kouign Amann without the caramelization.
Saving the rest for a snack while waiting for the train to Malmo, the goods cooling slightly but still warm to touch, Vores Brød showed well in terms of both the Cinnamon Roll and Custard Danish, the former perhaps a bit overworked and thus a bit stiff but still well flavored while the later banked on a butter instead of sweetness around gooey Egg Custard, the final bites invested in a chewy bar of Museli that was half-dipped in Chocolate with the other side sort of dull, devoid of sweetness save for a few Raisins and mostly tasting of Pumpkin or Sunflower Seeds.
