Brød, the Danish Bakery have just opened their second premises in 6 Glebe Street, Penarth. This marks the first expansion of the popular bakery and coffee shop, since their first premises opened in Pontcanna in November 2015.

The cafe will be selling traditional Danish pastries such as ‘snegl’ and ‘spandaeur’ alongside speciality sourdough loaves and a selection of hot and cold drinks.

Brød is the dream and realisation of Betina Skovbro who moved from Copenhagen to Cardiff in 1998. She felt very quickly at home but missed the bread and this started a catalyst for this venture in bringing traditional Danish baking to Wales.

Baking was in the family for Betina whose grandfather was a baker in central København and she baked at home with her mother and grandmother and is a tradition she has kept going with her own children.

Betina Skovbro, Brod owner says,

“We are so excited to open our new cafe in Penarth. We’ve been looking for an opportunity to open a second location for a while, and we’re really excited to be extending the Brød experience to the Vale.

It seemed like such a good fit for our business – we feel really firmly rooted in the community in and around Pontcanna and we’re looking forward to being part of what we’ve already discovered is a vibrant community in Penarth.

Five years on, we’re still excited, still love meeting new – and old – faces every day, and proud to have been able to bring a little taste of Denmark to Wales”.
