Wendorff - Classic Danish baker / confectioner cakes from top quality local ingredients: A short description could sound like this: 20% extra quality for 10% extra price. Their bread and cakes are above standard. Its as simple as that. For the price-conscious, it should be mentioned that they might just charge 2 kroner extra, but it is quickly forgotten once you have tasted a cake or piece of bread, which always has a perfect texture and taste, baked to perfection. If you can't stand a dull crossaint at the breakfast table or a semi-dry cake for afternoon coffee, then Wendorff is the safe choice.
