And so this Denmark cult has now 27+ stores with good loaves, open sandwiches and it is sourdough…It all started at Lagkagehuset bakery in Copenhagen. Ole and Steen (real people) teamed up in 2008 and there are now 100 bakeries in Denmark.
Ole Kristoffersen opened a bakery with his girlfriend Jane in a building known as The Layer Cake House. Steen Skallebaek opened his first bakery in Jutland (West Denmark) in 1992, where he became famous for Rugbrød and Rundstykker – the rye breads and small rolls Ole & Steen are known for. Thier first London store wass in the Haymarket and opened in 2016. There is an accent on recycling – a £3 bag of goodies is sold off at the end of each day, plus baking daily allows them to cut down waste from each shop. All very Scandi cool…for Danish, open rye toasties, buns and breakfast.
