Love their coffee mostly. I don't do heavy bakery itmes much but it's nice to get one of their raisin tea buns along with the coffee. The buns are cheap ($0.75) and really tasty. Their specials are always a good buy and I did indulge in the cream puffs one day and they were awesome.
The place is industrial, modern and cool, but hard to hang out in. They have a few tables inside along the wall and windows, a few more outside, but mostly it feels like a buy and leave place. Don't know if it would ever be amenable to wi fi and long hang outs, but that would make it more appealing for me...
My hairstylist over at Elleven (hi jessica!) recommended me to this place.
Great Pizza Bread, great crossoants.Great pastries. Good community involvement.

This is a Danish Bakery located in the Luma building and is just steps from my new home. I don't like sweets but I do love the smell and the pastries look divine but...I came here for a sandwich.
I had their lunch special which was a drink and a sandwich. I ordered a tuna sandwich on their fresh baked bread and it was delicious and under $6.
If you order ice tea they have a choice of teas and then they make hot tea and ice it so it is fresh and tasty.
From the outside the bakery looks a bit stark but don't let that stop you and if you read the other reviews you will read the pastries are amazing.
Oh and the name is pronounced Hoo-geh
I just discovered this place today, and I'm glad I did. I tried the "slice," which is a slice of pastry with three separate toppings on it--icing, chocolate, and marzipan--and another pastry with a cinnamon-based dough and icing. The pastries were fresh and moist and absolutely delicious. I look forward to trying their fresh baked bread!
I love this bakery and try to go at least once a week. I live downtown and was thrilled to learn an authentic danish bakery was coming to South Park. The baker has a passion for all things baked - the proof is in the goods! He makes breads, tarts, and a wide variety of traditional danish-like pastry varieties. The first time I tried one of the danish (a spandour I think), I thought to myself, "Oooooo, so that's what a danish is supposed to taste like!? YUM.)
The place is pretty authentically European, no prices on anything, limited selection, and only sells what was fresh made that morning. If it doesn't sell the day it was made, it gets trashed. According to the owner, "this is just the Danish way."
Everything is good, but I especially enjoy the more traditional Danish pastries (any of the 20 varieties he makes daily!) and the wonderful wheat malta bread loaf. Also, the sandwiches made on his Italian hoagie bread are also a treat!
One of the best bakeries in town for specialized goodies!
Yes, it's true: the pastries are delicious. Now they are all labelled, and cost between $2 and $3 each. There is also a special deal with pastries and coffee. The Spandauer, a "Danish" with custard, is their best-seller. . . and I can totally understand why. Flaky, buttery, not overly sweet; mmmmm.
They also have some Euro-style cakes. That is: not frosted, most with fruit. Must try!
Their rye breads are dense as bricks and come in a couple of varieties with and without seeds or rye berries in them. A regular at our breakfast table. They also have other types of loaves, including one with olives in it.
I haven't tried their lunch sandwiches, but I can assure you it's a great deal for a HUGE sandwich!
I stop in here about once a week now to check out their special deals or buy more bread. The people are very friendly and there are usually free samples to try. The owner, Rasmus, is often in there, and good to talk with. This bakery is great addition to the neighborhood and worth checking out.
I went to a private tasting party at Hygge over the weekend. As soon as I walked through the door, the girl asked me, "do you like marzipan?" Umm, hello!?! FUCK YES I LOVE MARZIPAN!!! Gimme gimme gimme! She let me try a bunch of marzipan goodies (marzarin), and most were excellent. I really enjoyed the raspberry marzipan pastry and marzipan toast. I also tried a few other Danish pastries (e.g. traditional danishes, cookies, breads, etc.) but wasn't impressed.
It'd be nice if they labeled their items and marked them with prices. I had no idea how much anything cost, but everything I got turned out to be about $3 each. I could go broke with all that marzipan right across the street from my apartment. I am hungry and afraid.
I am a fanatic of freshly baked breads, croissants, and anything sweets. This bakery is located on the ground floor of the Luma building in Downtown, Los Angeles.
Everything that I tried is delicious. Def gotta go back for more!
Flaky, warm, buttery, decadent baked goods.
Croissants to die for. The pastries are decent but the fresh baked bread and chocolate croissants are delish. I give them a couple more months they just opened! Yes the prices are a little high but its freshly baked and better than the pastries at starbucks.
I live right across the street and I've lived here for over a year--you can't imagine how fantastic it is to that "bakery down the street" with great pastries and fresh baked bread.
It isn't cheap by any means, but you know what--you're in South Park downtown and nothing here is cheap...I can attest to that with my rent alone (but I work here, so it makes sense).
Super friendly staff and they keep adding more and more goodies to the table...
I personally think that if you aren't a resident of downtown there are other bakeries throughout the city where parking is adequate and free...with goodies--but if you live and work down here, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT.
Beautiful fresh pastries made with butter. Worth the trip down to Hope an 11th. Remarkably better than the pastries at Bottega Louie.
The pastries here look delicious, a lot of good marzipan selections if you're into that sort of thing. All the girls here are friendly and smiley.
Hygge Bakery is an authentic Danish pastry shop in South Park, on a pretty, quiet stretch of Hope just south of 11th. Their pastries really are pretty darn good. I got a chocolate bun (croissant type pastry with chocolate dollop on top) and a weiner-something: weinerhorchen, maybe? That means "Vienna pastry," apparently. Anyway, it's *not* a hotdog, but a flaky pastry mini-bucket with a little bit of sweetness at the bottom. Their pastry texture is top-notch: flaky and light on the outside, moist in the middle.
In addition to pastries, they have a good selection of cookies, bar cookies/brownies, rum balls, rolls, and breads.
They serve good Gavina coffee but have no espresso, alas.
There are three tables inside that seat up to four, and no free wifi.
