Sinne Gas Bakery
Have you heard of Sinne Gas Bakery? Maybe not, because this secretive treasure doesn't have social media and practices trusty self-service. Their popularity has increased through word-of-mouth recommendations and although the bakery may appear anonymous, their baked goods are anything but, and it's definitely worth a visit.
Copenhagen is home to several bakeries, but perhaps Sinne Gas Bakery has passed you by? The bakery has no Facebook or Instagram, and the facade on Ryesgade may appear anonymous, but their baked goods are definitely not. The popularity of the almost secret bakery has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations from city residents. The man behind the secret treasure in Østerbro Copenhagen is Martin Vogelius, a self-taught master baker. He creates everything from sourdough bread to brunsviger and cardamom braid – Sinne Gas' take on the classic cardamom twist. The small bakery prioritizes quality over quantity, so if you want a wide selection, it's a good idea to visit early in the day.
The bakery operates according to a trusty self-service principle, which helps create the cozy and trusting atmosphere that Denmark is known for. The procedure is therefore: take what you need, transfer the money with MobilePay and enjoy the baked goods. MobilePay is a Danish payment app, and you need to have a Danish bank account to use it, but fear not – it’s also possible to pay with cash at Sinne Gas Bakery. If you are craving a BMO (bolle med ost – bun with cheese) or a filter coffee – or if you have any questions – you can still get help from Sinne Gas' bakery, despite the self-service concept. The name of the bakery, Sinne Gas, is a South Jutlandic expression meaning “take it easy”, and it’s clear that the relaxed atmosphere in the bakery lives up to this mantra.
