Aarhus takes its bakeries seriously, and the trade runs from old-school konditori to the new wave of long-ferment sourdough and laminated pastry. La Cabra Bakery on Graven and Sigrid Bakery on Jaegergaardsgade anchor the modern style, while Schweizerbageriet on M.P. Bruuns Gade and Emmerys Store Torv on Store Torv keep the classic Danish counter alive. Most of the action clusters in the central 8000 Aarhus C postcodes, with outliers like Byens Bageri up in Aarhus N.
