Brød - The Danish Bakery

Tasty fresh pastries however Brød shouldn’t be so apprehensive when trying new flavour combinations. Let’s move away from simply chocolate or jam and try new endeavours and reevaluate the pricing to be more reasonable as you’d be currently looking to pay between £3.20 - £3.70 for a single danish.

Delicious goodies every time time I visit. But, £8.10 for two takeaway coffees is a bit steep. Definitely a pay day treat

Great little bakery and cafe in the centre of Penarth. An interesting selection of breads, pastries and even pizza.

The different Danish pastries are really great.

Great atmosphere inside and always very clean and tidy.

Lots of choice for all diets.

Plenty of hot drink options to order alongside the bakery.

Heard positive things about this place, and the reviews look good.
I visited and was greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. Which makes it difficult to write this review, but one must be honest.

I paid for 6 sweet offerings, which were a chocolate brownie, creme snegl, kanel snegl, chokolade kugle, and a custard spandauer.

In a word.. disappointed! The brownie was an over sugarded product with no taste of chocolate what so ever. It had a crackle like bite (probably because of the excess in a sugar glaze). Tasted nothing like a brownie!
Sadly, most of the pastries I purchased were of similar disappointment.

The chokolade kugle looked interesting but tasted like a cheap cookie dough rolled into a ball and coated with inferior chocolate and sprinkles. It tasted like something from a nusery/primary school cooking class! Not good!

The creme snegl was underwhelming.. no flavour. Pointless.

However, the custard spandauer tasted ok. It still tasted like a basic level custard pastry that I would not spend good money on, especially at the price they charge for it.

Honestly, things looked good, but everything tasted of a poor quality. There was not one single item that tasted rich, satisfying, or balanced in flavour. The branding is nice... but the proof is definitely not in the pudding here! I wanted to like this place so much, but Brød did not deliver. The staff were very nice and the place looks great. My review is only for the sweet items I purchased. The savoury items looked great, but it is unlikely I would want to risk further disappointment.

In a nutshell, the items at Brød tasted of low quality ingredients and did not justify the high price of their products. I would highly recommend looking towards Tŷ Melin bakery for your sweet fix.

Brod has great produce but dreadful service- unless you like waiting 20 mins to buy a loaf. I really can’t be bothered with the place anymore which is a shame. I would fully support them but they need to sort out how they serve.

I passed by here yesterday and was stopped in my tracks by the smell of fresh bread and funny enough pizza. They had just unloaded some fresh loaves including the pizza bread with sourdough and damn was it good.
The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful, one lady even asked about my shirt and we ended up talking about the old Worms Armageddon games lol.
I will absolutely be returning in future and have already recommended them to friends :)

Lovely little bakery and cafe in the centre of Penarth. The quality and selection are excellent. The staff are very friendly too. Perhaps the only downside is the price. But then again the food is great.

Such a fab place! It was our first time visiting and the staff were really helpful. The place was immaculately clean too. The Danish pastries we had we delicious, the best I've ever tasted (well done Brød) we all had a variety of hot drinks which were great too, I had a pot of tea which done 4 cups! And the tea kept hot right to the end!
Will definitely be visiting again!
