The shop is clean and nice, and there are tables if you wish to eat there. The cakes are great looking, on the pricey side, but the taste is generally nothing outstanding. There may be exceptions, but most of the cakes look much better than they taste. This is not to say they are bad, just nothing to justify the rather high prices.

I was charged $40 for an 8 cake delivered 3miles away. I was originally quoted $20 delivery fee but then I checked my credit card that evening it was $40. I called the very next morning figuring it was a mistake. I was told it was due to the high gas prices. But it is only 3 miles away! Seems very disingenuous, especially since no one bothered to call me and let me know. Will the delivery fee go down when gas prices go down? With an honest company I would hope. Most likely not this one.

They really do the most for their customers. Ordered a German chocolate cake, thinking the coconut would mess up the image, but they made it work SO WELL! My father-in-law loves it! Thanks!

My family and I LOVE this place! They have an amazing selection of parties, cupcakes, and for any holiday they have a fun selection of sugar cookies that my daughter loves. I happen to love their cinnamon nut ring and cheese danish. They have beautiful cakes too. In the past we enjoyed eating breakfast here as well.

I requested that each pastry be bagged for hygiene's sake and they added ribbon as it happened to be a special occasion (like my father turning 100 years old and I can't be there because of Covid and I live out of town). Thank you. Absolutely the best!

Okay, almost 2 years of Covid, and so much loss, change, challenge for everyone locally & globally. I needed a special cake for my mom's upcoming 80th birthday cake, and many bakeries have had to completely lower their production rate, hours-days, etc. A friend had shared with me recently a wonderful Scandinavian delight of a cake, The Princess Cake.

It was love at first bite (and sight). What a charming place, where you can tell it has been the heart and soul of downtown Burlingame for a long time. My hubby and I drove up the 280 from the south bay this morning to surprise The Birthday Mum/Queen with a Princess Cake, and it was out of this world beautiful. The taste? Exquisite. We may pop up the 280 more often just to enjoy the foods and ambiance of this darling gem. Thank you Copenhagen Bakery for making my mom's special day most memorable, even during these very hard times.

Had to get in a line only to be handed the menu when it was my time to order. Had no idea what to pick as I did not know what they had so I asked the rude cashier a couple minutes and to let someone else order before I was ready. When I was finally ready they had my order wrong (asked for salad on the side of my pastrami sandwich and they sent fruit salad) and they completely ignored that I ordered a hot chocolate and didn't send anything at all.

At that point was pretty annoyed to complain or ask for replacement so I just let it go. The sandwich was okay but not sure I would come back. There are likely good breakfast places out there.

For a bakery built on Danish heritage; the cheese danish is quite lacking. The puff pastry was dry and bland. The filling, sour, and barely sweet. The coffee is good as are the other non-puff pastries. It's a cozy place. But needs some work.

European bakery in the heart of silicon valley. Sublime Princess Cake and Hazelnut express and rum cake and on and on. Wash it down with a large selection of fresh brewed coffee. Good sugar and caffeine high. Breezy ambience. Always packed and noisy. Good service. Just a perfect neighborhood bakery.
