What the lists agree on

Juno the Bakery leads with 5 of 6 lists. The list that leaves it out, MigogKbh’s, is the only one of the six written just about cinnamon buns. The other five are bakery or restaurant guides, and they count here only where they mention a bun.

Hart Bageri and Sankt Peders Bageri are joint second with 3 each. Five bakeries share fourth with 2. Bo Bedre and Heartbeats agree most often: both name Juno, Bageriet Benji, Flere Fugle and Skipper Bageri.

Some lists name only a few bakeries for buns. Time Out names one, Juno, and Visit Copenhagen, the city’s tourism site, names Juno and Sankt Peders. MigogKbh names the most, 8, and five of them are on no other list.

None of the six is an award guide. Besides Time Out and Visit Copenhagen, there are two Danish magazines, Bo Bedre and ALT for damerne, and two Danish websites, Heartbeats and MigogKbh.

Østerbro and Nørrebro have two ranked bakeries each. The other four are in the Latin Quarter, Frederiksberg, Carlsberg Byen and Nordvest.

Cinnamon buns in Copenhagen

Kanel is Danish for cinnamon and snegl for snail, so a kanelsnegl is a cinnamon snail, named for its coiled shape. Danish bakeries make it with wienerbrød (Danish pastry) dough and cinnamon, and cardamom can be added. Some bakeries sell an extra-large one on Wednesdays, the onsdagssnegl or Wednesday snail, which dates from 1988.

Hart and Meyers have several shops. The address here is each one’s first.

How this guide works

We count how many recognised lists name each place, then rank by that number. Places named by two or more lists are ranked; places named once are under Also named. We don't score, visit or review places. On October 15, 2026 we checked each place for recent signs that it is open: its own website, recent coverage or a current map listing. Things change, so check before you go.

Yes. It counts cinnamon and cardamom buns of every kind, including the kanelsnegl, the kanelsnurre and the kardemommesnurre. A bakery counts only when a list mentions one of these there, so a bakery listed only for its bread or croissants is left out.
