Come for the Sourdough. Stay for the Broccolini.
Copenhagen Bakery and Cafe is not just about bread…even though the bread is really good. Copenhagen is a Downtown Burlingame institution for European-style pastries and baked goods — but here’s the delicious twist: it’s also a legit dinner spot, and the menu has some under-the-radar favorites that deserve their own fan club.
The “Not Just Bread” dinner move
If you’ve only popped in for cake (no judgment), consider this your friendly nudge to stay for dinner. Because Copenhagen’s dinner menu includes the kind of sides that quietly steal the show:
Broccolini
Sautéed wild mushrooms
French green beans
Put those together and you’ve got a little green-and-savory symphony: bright, earthy, crisp—basically the supporting cast that makes the whole meal feel like a meal, not a snacky situation.
Now, about the Brie…
Don’t forget to taste the amazing Baked Brie on sourdough—warm, shareable, and the kind of appetizer that mysteriously disappears the second you look away.
And if you’re an artichoke person (you know who you are): Copenhagen also offers an artichoke bruschetta moment that belongs in the “order it for the table” category.
A classic Burlingame spot that keeps surprising us
Part of what makes Copenhagen so fun is that it’s woven into Downtown life—one of those places you think you “already know,” until you realize you’ve only been living on the pastry side of the menu. Downtown Burlingame has even highlighted Copenhagen’s long local history and updates over the years.
The easy Copenhagen dinner order (aka: you can’t go wrong)
If you want a simple formula for a cozy Downtown night:
Start: Baked Brie on garlic sourdough
Add: Artichoke bruschetta
Make it green: Broccolini + sautéed wild mushrooms + French green beans
Then—only then—circle back to the bakery case like the responsible adult you are (or aren’t).
