About Conditori La Glace
Copenhagen's oldest konditori, operating since 1870 in the same ornate premises near Strøget, famous for its towering layer cakes and traditional Danish pastries served on fine porcelain. The signature Sportskage (a cream cake with caramel and nougat) has been made to the same recipe for over a century. The interior retains its Belle Époque character with crystal chandeliers, velvet banquettes, and glass cases displaying elaborate marzipan confections.
Insider Tips
Order the Othello Lagkage to share (it serves 2-3 people) and ask for it to be plated rather than served whole so you can appreciate the layers of cream and marzipan.
