This place is so lovely. If you want want a home cooked meal this is the place. The rice pudding with cherries and almonds was insane. Cannot wait to go back! Everyone in our group loved the food.

Family run business that gives the vibe of coming to your best friend’s house and her mom would welcome you back with great comfort food! - Would return to try if I’m in that part of town again.

Lovely. We were in need of a better experience food wise for our 22nd anniversary and my better half knew about this Danish place close enough to Crown Valley Pkwy. OK, do not expect a light and airy dining room with white tablecloths and high-end flatware, the place is rather dark and obviously it's all about the menu. We had enough appetite for an appetizer and main course, so chose the smoked salmon on rye bread and the Forloren Hare - Danish Meat Loaf wrapped in bacon, with lingonberry jam, roasted veggies, pickled beets, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and delivered fully on flavor, texture, and also presentation. We did not venture into dessert as we had another place in mind but for genuine Danish fare, this is an awesome destination. Service is personable and friendly, to the point and very little fluff. Kind of my style as a born and raised Dutchman. Highly recommended!

**4.7/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Copenhagen Corner Laguna: Comforting Meatloaf Dinner with Danish Charm** Tucked in a cozy Laguna Beach courtyard just off the PCH, **Copenhagen Corner** (the little sibling of the longtime Copenhagen Pastry in Pasadena) is the casual Danish-American spot that feels like a warm hug on a cool coastal evening 🇩🇰🍽️. The **convenient location** has easy parking in the shared lot, making it perfect for dinner before a play at the Laguna Playhouse or a sunset stroll downtown. **Service was friendly**—the staff greet you with genuine smiles, explain the daily specials, and keep refills coming without hovering. The vibe is relaxed **casual dining**: simple wood tables, soft lighting, Danish flags, and a display case of beautiful pastries tempting you for dessert. Ordered the **meatloaf dinner**, and it’s pure comfort done right: a thick slice of juicy, well-seasoned meatloaf topped with rich brown gravy, served with buttery mashed potatoes, tender green beans, and a side salad. It’s hearty, homey, and generously portioned—the kind of plate that satisfies without being heavy. Lingonberry sauce on the side adds that perfect Nordic sweet-tart pop. Minor deductions keep it fro

What an awesome little gem we have tucked away here in South OC! This is a really cute, family owned restaurant, with great service and delicious food. From the moment we walked in, the owner greeted us and was very warm and welcoming. She asked us about ourselves and told us about their restaurant. We rarely get appetizers, drinks and dessert, to cut down on cost, but we definitely splurged here. They have a mix of European dishes, including some German plates and beers. The lamb chops and currywurst were incredible, and even all of the sides were bursting with flavor (personal favorite was the pickled beets). This is a must-try restaurant for anyone in the area. Having traveled to Europe several times, the plates felt very authentic and homemade.
