@fakeplasticbrands I experienced those prices for too long, I don’t even want to think about how much money I spent on flour, water and some heat.

Transcript

Aesthetics of Danish bakeries are unmatched, and so are their prices. Everything is raw concrete, handmade ceramics, and a single cross on sitting on a wooden board like it's in a gallery. The whole vibe is Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian rank, and it totally worse. Because the second you walk in, you've already decided not to care about the size of the bill. And that's the thing about these new Nordic bakeries. People lose their minds over a €4 difference on their grocery bill, but they happily drop 12 to €15 on a pastry and a croissant. No one is budgeting at the bakery because it's become a tiny status symbol purely because of aesthetics and taste. You're not overspending in tier, you are experiencing.
