Fru Petersens Café

Top choice in Bornholm


Cake lovers, come hungry! This cute-as-a-button cafe lies about 1km west of Østermarie, and draws sweet tooths from all over the island with its exceptional kagebord (cake buffet). Its Insta-worthy table groans under the weight of home-baked cakes, tarts, cookies, pastries and more. The rooms are a hyggelig (cosy) haven of antiques and trinkets, and there's pretty garden seating.
