Mortensen's is a landmark in Solvang, the building is huge and they even have nice lawn area where you can sit and enjoy your treats! We ordered an assortment of cookies, an Almond Croissant, Cheese Danish and a Pistachio Bar. There were so many pastries to choose from - we had a hard time walking away and not buying one of everything! They had tubs of Danish Butter Cookies and massive Danish Kringles! They also had plenty of seating inside as well! I loved seeing all of the Spring and Easter decorations throughout - it was a very welcoming atmosphere! Staff were also friendly and gave recommendations! I would definitely come back and visit Mortensen's the next time I am in Solvang! Check them out!

As the others, my mom (Hispanic) went to go take a look as well, and stood in line patiently while other familes ordered. One of the managers (very tall white lady with blonde hair) started asking my mom in a very annoyed manner "Are you ready to order or what?" and my mom had said "Oh not yet im just looking at the moment," but some how that didn't register with this worker, as she look at her other associate and rolled her eyes, side eyeing my mom. They were unprofessional with how they treated customers, more importantly my mom, and didn't have any patience for those who were viewing the menu. If you're coming to solvang, go to Birkholm Bakery instead, they're much more welcoming and friendly to visitors

Best coconut macaroon I've ever had in my LIFE!…read more Perfectly crispy nearly-caramelized edges, tons of coconut, inside almost like cake bc sooooo softttttt, they were really big too. Fave thing I got there, everything else just ok to me in comparison. Like, I cant even remember nor bother to care about anything but the macaroons. Really mad at myself for only getting one, next time will make room in my freezer and work freezer for these precious bites of heaven!!!

Upon entering, we realized how hot it was inside - like uncomfortably hot to the point where I got overwhelmed and just needed to get out of the shop. Before I did, I bought 2 packs of their Danish Haribo gummies that I had never seen or heard of before - we brought them back for a friend of ours who loves Haribo! I also noticed their massive glass counter display of Danish pastries - they looked amazing! We didn't buy anything from them since I was in a hurry to get outside, but man...did they look tasty! I did notice that they had a nice seating area in the back to enjoy your items - that is, if you can stand the heat. Staff at the counter and register were super friendly! I would definitely come back next time I am in Solvang and brave the warmth to try their pastries! Check them out!

We didn't ask for it to go. No signage was posted and others were sitting. Seemed like staff wanted to minimize having to clean up the tables. Not cool, won't be back here and won't recommend to friends or family. Do better Danish Mill Bakery.

Best fudge in California hands-down, maybe in the country, maybe anywhere…read more. Recs: Walnut Fudge - Maple Pecan - is a bit overtly sweet in my opinion, but it becomes less overwhelming as I eat it - still quite good. But that Walnut fudge - I can't describe it but my man who doesn't really care for sweets/chocolate/fudge/brownies closed his eyes while he was eating because it was so good. But, yeah he couldn't have more than the slightly huge chunk I gave him.

This is hands down the best Fudge & Soft Pretzel spot. Whenever we are in town, we have to stop by!…read more We've done delivery orders when we have the craving - Don, you are the best. Thank you!! Favorites: Husband loves the rocky road. (He doesn't even ordinarily like fudge) Kids love the cookies and cream and dark chocolate. My favorite is the dark chocolate. Oh and the container of cookies is so delicious. You can't go wrong, so if you're in town and overwhelmed by the fudge or soft pretzel choices, don't hesitate to pick this spot!

Maybe it was raining... because it was definitely pouring disappointment…read more I really wanted to love this bakery, but after dropping $40 here, I left feeling incredibly let down. Maybe the bakers were just having an off day, but unfortunately, almost everything we ordered was a miss--and the service didn't help. When I was looking for assistance, the employees were entirely unhelpful and seemed like they couldn't care less. One of them was completely glued to their phone with their back turned toward the lobby, while the other was just standing there picking their fingernails. It felt like we were an inconvenience just by being there. As for the food, here is the breakdown: Cinnamon Roll Bowl ($10.00): For ten bucks, I expected something spectacular. Instead, it was completely underwhelming--mostly just dense dough and not nearly enough flavor or moisture. Snickerdoodle Cookie ($7.50): A massive disappointment for the price. It lacked that signature tangy, cinnamon-sugar punch. If you handed this to me blindly, I would never guess it was supposed to be a snickerdoodle. Savory Meat Pastry: This was the worst of the bunch. It was so incredibly dry that we took exactly one bite and had to throw the rest in the trash. Ham & Cheese Croissant: This tasted bizarrely off. Instead of a savory ham flavor, it tasted like it was stuffed with old, stale turkey. Æbleskiver Balls: These are supposed to be light and fluffy, but they were completely dried out and tough. Paying premium prices for bakery items is fine if the quality matches, but between the awful service and food that tasted like it had been sitting out for days, I won't be back. Lesson learned always check the yelp reviews before trying something new. We don't have any pictures poultry

My wife and I were in Solvang on Wednesday. Unfortunately, most stores are closed. We found…read moreDrover's Doughnuts and were amazed.

This is a new place for me, so as an occasional visitor, I just had to try them out. I visited one…read moreafternoon to see their offerings, as they have regular everyday offerings, and special offerings that, if I remember correctly, change monthly. Then, leaving town the next morning, I swung by for the treats to bring home. The place itself is light and open, and well decorated with display cases to the front and the order counter off to one side. I ordered all-new flavors for myself, including lavender honey, pistachio raspberry, strawberry rosé, blueberry lemon, maple bacon, and s'mores. At home, we had a tasting fest, and strangely, much to my chagrin, the s'mores were the LEAST favored! They were described as dry and not tasting "s'morey," and the kids didn't like the "burned marshmallows." So, the s'mores, of which I bought four, sat relatively uneaten save for some nibbles on the edges here and there. The next least favorite was the maple bacon, which also went uneaten. Now, at over $4 for a special donut ($4.02), that caught my attention, but we live and learn. The other flavors were delicious and quite different! They were actually quite fresh and soft compared to the s'mores. We took our time, and even after about two or three days, they were still good. I think that my faves were the blueberry lemon, the pistachio, and the strawberry rosé. The lavender honey was also quite good, too, now that I think about it, so I guess my favorites were all the ones other than the s'mores and maple bacon. In any case, always good to try new things, and with the special flavors here, you will have a chance to do that.

Each order comes with 3 freshly made aebleskivers topped with powder sugar. We chose to have ours with the classic raspberry jam and sugar. We added two scoops of Cookies n' Cream in a cone. Just like a regular pancake, you can make it as sweet or simple as you like. I prefer to coat each bite with the tart jam and a side swipe of the sugar. The inside is warm, comforting and so good! The ice cream was perfectly creamy and yummy with the freshly made waffle cone. The store is small -- in just a couple steps you're in one door then out the other. Right outside are three tables and some benches. The tables turnover pretty quickly but get sticky/dirty throughout the day. Napkins are easily available at the inside counter.

Stopped at this bakery while on my way home…read more The bakery was very busy and crowded, which usually means a business is popular. The young female employees were nice and friendly, and a taller one with glasses was very helpful, taking and handing me my order. The variety of pastries on display in the glass cases was extensive, and everything looked delicious. I ordered a guava-filled pastry and a chocolate milk, while my wife had a sugar-free drink. The pastry was just okay, as it was rather hard, but you can never go wrong with chocolate milk. The shelves and display cases were fully stocked, and both the interior and exterior of the business were clean and well-maintained.
