Bakery$

Copenhagen-style cardamom and morning buns, and seed-studded loaves, are the backbone of this busy Brunswick bakery which has its inner workings on full display for those who grab a table. Sesame-speckled cookies are topped with fat chocolate coins, and round pucks of dough (“tartines”) cradle cheese and greens. On Friday mornings, there’s a run club.

Must order: The Danish morning bun includes alpine-style cheese, lots of butter and marmalade on a seeded bread roll.
