Ole & Steen Lagkagehuset (also known as Lagkagehuset) is a Danish bakery chain with over 90 branches in Denmark, England, and cities like Paris and New York City.[1][2] Originally owned by FSN Capital, it was sold in 2017 to Nordic Capital.[3]

The company is led by Jason Cotta, formerly MD at Costa Coffee.[4]

In May 2020 the company has come under social media scrutiny about their ownership structure and allegations this may enable tax avoidance. The controversy emerged in connection with their receipt of funding from the Danish coronavirus relief package. This prompted the company to issue their accounts early, indicating domestic tax payment.[5][6][7]
