Usual touristic cafe. Few rooms with tables, pretty simple, nothing special, pastries are fresh and tasty, you can sit outside too.

Great pastry options, but if you do have a nut allergy, definitely avoid since they have a lot of cross contamination ☹️

The pastries looked nice, but they were way, way, way too sweet. Unfortunately, it was just too much sugar to really enjoy them.

I am leaving this review in the hopes that someone from the bakery will reach out to me. I was there on 10/18/2025 and bought a bunch of lovely pastries, and a few drinks. They were absolutely delicious - everyone enjoyed them. And I thought the price was very reasonable, about $35 for everything.
However, when I checked my bank account, I was charged $108! I tried calling the bakery on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesay, but received no answer. I emailed them using their online email document and no answer.
I live too far away to go back and see them. Please, please reach out to me so I may change my review to all 5 stars!

THE BEST pastries. Really. We actually go from bakery to bakery trying our favorites a make notes for future trips. Yes, we are a bit obsessed with our sugar.
One of my favorites is the Pistachio Square. Not overly sweet and a nice combination of flavors. Another must is the Danish. My husband tried it first and said it was easily the best with just the right amount of filling and fluffiness. I bought one at another bakery, it was fine. The next day I tried the Mortensen's version. Hands down superior. We had the raspberry and lemon. He also prefers their Danish Waffles. Not my thing, but he says it's a flaky goodness.
We went during the week when it wasn't crazy busy. The staff were personable and interested in our trip. The next day it was busy, but they were still friendly and happy. You know when staff are happy it's gonna be good. Can't wait for the next trip.

Hands down the best pastries in town! The custard and almond, the cream cheese, the chocolate cookies… honestly, to die for. This place is a must if you’re in town.
It’s family owned, and they’re incredibly friendly, so genuine and sweet. You feel right at home the second you walk in. They even gave us amazing local recommendations and a cookie for our dog. Absolute gems!

The lack of prices in the display should raise eyebrows. Unfortunately, I fell for it and paid almost €25 for three pastries. In Denmark (also not known for its cheap prices), I would have paid only a third of that.

This place is extremely overpriced, which made the experience disappointing despite some potentially good items. While a few of the baked goods might be decent, the cream puffs and éclairs were very only ok. For the price, you expect a lot more flavor. Paying $10 for a single cream puff is insane, especially when it lacked any real taste. The high cost just isn't justified by the quality of the items I tried. Felt like a tourist trap
