Born in Denmark, Flemming Hansen
realized his career path at the young age of 16 when
he began trade school as a baker.
After three years asa journeyman he came to America
as an exchange student to Solvang
– a Danish community in Southern California – to
work as a baker. He then
continued his apprenticeship in Burlingame, California at yet
another Danish Bakery, where he worked for 12 years making authentic old world
pastries.
In 1997, the Hansen Family moved
to the east coast to be closer to their extended
family, and Flemming
continued to work as a baker. on July 1, 1998, the Hansen’s
opened the Copenhagen
Bakery of Northport, with Stace running the store and Flemming
baking the product. In a short
time business and the friendly, caring staff grew, with most of
the business coming from
“word of mouth” .It’s a sense of “celebration” that one feels when
pausing at the shop windows of
the little Danish bakery on Woodbine Ave in Northport – “ Copenhagen Bakery”. The tradition of quality, variety
and flavor has been retained
to give a mouth watering experience to its many local customers.
