My family and I briefly checked out Danish Mill Bakery just to see what they offered in comparison to the other bakeries in town. 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! read more

As others have said as well, we bought pastries here, which the lady boxed without asking us and then when we tried to sit we were asked to leave as our order was "to go." 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. read more

I remember years ago, this was one of the bustling places, but now it's pretty much a take out place. There are a few tables in the back, but you have to let the person know before hand if you are dining in. I walked in and it was warm with no AC running at all. I feel so bad for the staff here as I'm pretty sure management told them not to turn on the AC to save money. It's kind of sad coming in to this place now. Their pastries will not wow you as the other half dozen spots around town pretty much offer the same thing. But it would be nice if there was AC in here. read more

The Danish Kringle was pretty tasty but the chocolate truffle was disappointing They do have a small area in the back to eat but you have to pay a tip to eat there and order it to eat in. I found that a little strange for a bakery read more

Danish Mill Bakery - Danish Kringle (yummy) Chocolate truffle (disappointing) - Bakeries Near Me - Solvang, California

What drew me to this bakery was the cute display in front where there are moving dolls making bread. Very unique display. Ordering took a while and was confusing. You order at the counter but if you choose dine in, you can sit down and then pay at the end. If you choose take out then you pay at the counter. None of this was clear when ordering though. I initially said take out but then changed it to dine in and the server was definitely annoyed. We got 3 double cappuccinos, a pistachio croissant, and marzipan danish (because we had to try a Dutch danish). Because I had switched from take out to dine in it took forever to get our food even though it was ready when I had ordered. The coffees were good. The pastries were on the sweet side though. read more

Lots of baked goodies with almond! I wanted to grab so much, but luckily before I got in line to order, our table for brunch was ready so we stopped by the bakery again after our meal. I tried to be reasonable since some of the things I was eyeing does not travel well on the 3+ hour drive we have going home, so I settled on a bear claw ($4.95), Kringle slice ($4.50), and almond mazarin ($4.95). Everything tasted so good! The pastries were flaky and full of flavor. Find free parking within walking distance in a nearby lot. Walk off the sugar rush from consuming the pastries as you explore Solvang. read more

Excellent selection of tasty treats. The cinnamon crisp is a sublime mix of a churro and a croissant. We visited at the low tourist season so service was a breeze. More of an urban atmosphere than kitchy. They had some cute animatronics out front which is very popular among the bakeries here. read more

The best price for pastries, $4.95 for pastry in February 2026! All the baked goods looked super tasty, hard to choose. Got the Guava cheese danish pastry was delicious, the flakey dough was a little bit salty, so go for just the regular fruit option. The line does get busy mid day, but moves quickly. The store was clean, and there are couple table in the back to enjoy your pastry. Overall, a great place to stop and get all your pastries. read more

Danish Mill Bakery - Solvang A true Solvang gem Danish Mill Bakery is a historic, family-owned bakery, and you can feel the tradition the moment you walk in. I had the guava cheese Danish, my husband enjoyed the raspberry cheese, and my friend had the blueberry cheese all three were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Perfect balance of sweetness and texture. This bakery has roots tracing back to Copenhagen and a legacy of baking even for Danish royalty, which makes the experience feel extra special. They're known for authentic Danish pastries like kringle and aebleskiver, crafted by Danish-educated pastry chefs, blending classic recipes with a modern touch. The place is spotless also the good service and the decor is cute and adorable I loved the window decorations and the little birds outside such a cozy, welcoming vibe. You can truly taste the history, care, and passion here. A must-visit in Solvang read more

Can we talk about how cute little chefs are in the window?! And we got there at the perfect time before the line was out the door. Everything was baked to perfection. The Kringle was DEVINE and I wasn't sharing. Only thing missing was a cup of coffee to complete the perfection. But after all it's Solvang and you need to pace yourself for all the eating. read more

This bakery looks as it appears, welcoming and busy. It's non stop and I tasted the reason why. If you are visiting Solvang, the Danish Mill Bakery is a must stop. I highly recommend trying the Apple Fritter. It's deliciously soft, the flavor is just magical!! I only had "one bite and I'm done" in mind but, I ate half of this delightful loaf. They also offer hot or iced coffee, lattes, etc.. This is a cute bakery. Don't forget to check out the mechanical bakers in the front! :) read more

Danish Mill Bakery - The best I ever had! - Bakeries Near Me - Solvang, California

Behind every wonderful bakery is a baker with a vision and a heart full of passion. Let's delve into this sweet danish review. Danish Mill Bakery (est 1960) is an iconic bakery in Solvang that offers traditional Danish pastries, cookies, and coffee. A must-visit for authentic flavours and a cozy, Danish-inspired atmosphere. I walked-in just to ogle at their pastries, however, temptation was too strong. So I decided to give my nascent relationship with sweets another chance. I had TWO truffles, a classic and dark martini; each cost $1.75 USD. It's very good, bloody amazing! Service was fast. Female staff was professional. Atmosphere was chill. Layout was spacious. Prices were on the high end. Parking was abundant. Collectively, this is a good Danish bakery. Overall, I had a good experience and utterly enjoyed my truffles. I recommend you visit. read more

The danish with cream cheese and blueberry jam was delicious and the pastry was slightly savory. The blueberry jam tasted fresh and not artificial. I also liked the apple pull apart bread. It's well spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg (?) and the bread is light and fluffy with fresh apples sprinkled throughout read more

my fam and i like to visit solvang from time to time. a quick day trip from LA. solvang is filled with soooo many danish bakeries and its so hard to choose one, but they are all great. danish mill bakery is usually our go to, we love a good sourdough. close to 11am, they were sold out of the sourdough boule! they werent making any more for the rest of the day!! the gal helping us out was not very helpful, i asked if they had any sourdough left, she looked behind the counter and said, no. my thoughts.. like are you guys baking any now? will there be another batch? we drove 2.5 hrs, like can i call to put a few on hold?? like give me some tips girl!! this bakery usually has a line out the door, but you feel rushed when its your turn to order. they have a seating area inside and outside avail. ordered a few different fruit danishes, jalapeño cheese bread, french bread loaf and cinnamon roll parking: there is free parking all around the town. try to come early as it fills up to noon during peak days/times. read more

Pastries are fine, staff is super rude. They won't let you sit in the seating area 2+ hours before closing. It feels like the staff doesn't want clients to actually enjoy their bakery, rather want their clients to take what they've bought somewhere else. They are not hospitable at all in a tourist town. read more

HAVE AGAIN: Almond Florentine and Napoleon's hat were very good. Kringle slice and apple cinnamon bread were good. The bread is best toasted. read more

Lately I've been craving their jalapeño bread loaf. And as I was in town for a few days, it was meant to be. Not only that, they also have amazing pastries and chocolate. Clearly as it's Solvang, everything is amazing in town. The fresh baked danish, cakes, breads and cookies are all delicious. Coffee drinks are also served. Depending on when you visit, it can get busy as it's one of the popular danish bakery in town. Plenty of seating inside but not much outside. They have benches but majority of the people tend to just stand while they're enjoying the goods. Regardless whatever you get, it's always very flavorful. And as it's in town, you can enjoy your sweets and wander through town. read more

Charming Danish Bakery Experience! Stopped by Danish Mill Bakery in Solvang and had a great experience. The Danish Pastries and custard were fresh, flaky, and delicious exactly what you'd hope for in a classic Danish Bakery. We ordered both a single and double cafe latte. The single was smooth, while the double was strong and really good, perfect if you like a bold coffee to pair with sweet pastries. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance was cozy and charming. A fun highlight was the cute electronic chef baking by the window, which added a playful touch and made the stop even more memorable. A must visit spot in Solvang for great pastries, coffee, and a bit of charm. read more

Came in for espresso... got that... along with a bucket of cookies and jalapeño cheese bread! Beware, once you enter, it nearly impossible to leave without wanting to just buy and try everything from the bakery. This Sunday morning we came in just before 10am and the line was already pretty stacked. No worries though, the crew at Danish Mill had it moving pretty quickly. They're very friendly and also very efficient. There's a seating area inside for those looking to dine in. We took our treats to go. Jalapeño cheese bread was absolutely amazing. Definitely making Danish Mills a must do whenever I'm in town. Looking forward to trying so much more. read more

Came here from a recommendation to get some pastries and an iced coffee. We were promptly served but since we got to go order we had to sit outside which wasn't a problem. The food was ok and a bit overhyped and the coffee was not very good. I think for a danish town we expected a danish bakery to have a bit more flavor and authentic food. read more

There was no line, so we enjoyed viewing all their treats up close. The desserts looked beautiful! Unfortunately, we stood there a while with not 1 person behind the counter acknowledging us. So we left and went down the street to Mortensen's Danish Bakery and holy moly, was it delicious. read more

There are better bakeries within a couple minutes walk. The staff was nice enough, but told us we couldn't sit inside since we initially said to-go and changed our minds. The princess cake had very little jam and the cream puff was average. The eclair cream was oddly tangy and when asked, they said it was raspberry flavored...however there was not any raspberry color and everyone who tried it had stomach issues later. It also was not advertised as a raspberry eclair. read more

Danish Mill Bakery has been in Solvang for over 60 years. You can come here for many different pastries and treats. My neighbor brought me a bucket of cookies here and every time I go to Solvang I have to come and pick up a bucket of their butter cookies. Their butter cookies are good and my co-workers even enjoy them. Each bucket comes with five dozen cookies. You can't go wrong with any of them. Danish Mill also sell other treats like Danishes, Danish cookies, cakes, truffles, macaroon, macarons, Kringle, homemade granola, Viking bread, and coffee. I can't vouch for everything else but I really like the butter cookies. Overall, if you're looking to bring back a treat from Solvang come for their bucket of butter cookies. read more

Danish Mill Bakery has a nice atmosphere inside and a good selection of baked goods, but overall I wasn't too impressed. I tried the apple fritter, which looked great but ended up being pretty bland and lacking much flavor. The coconut macaroon was decent, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. It's not a bad spot, friendly enough and pleasant inside, but the pastries just didn't stand out for me. read more

Wow!!! What a great selection of bakery treats!!! All looking yummy and delicious. They were fresh and made with fresh ingredients that were delicious. Service was friendly and lots of tables and chairs to enjoy your treat!!! My wife really loved the butter cookies!!! read more

Stopped by Danish Mill Bakery and had a really good experience. The service was friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. The guava pastry was so good I immediately wished I had ordered more (definitely should've grabbed some to go). Also tried the chocolate orange macaron and loved it great flavor and not overly sweet. Everything tasted fresh and well made. I'll for sure be back, and next time I'm ordering extra. read more

Cute bakery and I was excited when I saw they had French macarons! I ordered three- the chocolate, vanilla, and lemon. Sadly they were all made really bad. They must have overbeat the egg whites because the cookie part tasted basically like a chalky merengue... And the cookie visually was really bumpy and had a peak on it, confirming it was overbeat and the flour was probably not sifted. Definitely steer clear of the French macarons. The rest of our pastries were okay. This place looks very cute but I wouldn't go back. I would try a different bakery next time I'm in the area. read more

While in Solvang we visited several different bakeries. Unfortunately there was a couple of bakeries we came across that was closed on Tuesdays but we did check out the Danish Mill Bakery who probably had the best selection of pastries and cookies we visited today. They also have a little seating area inside if you wanted to enjoy your sweets seated but found they do charge a small seating fee WTH??? Their danishes are good though and they do have the best selection of sweets based on the other bakeries we visited during our trip. Try this bakery out ! read more

One of my favorite spots in Solvang and definitely my favorite when I was a kid. Their Princess Cake is my favorite. There are a handful of bakeries in Solvang and at the end of the day it all depends on preferences. I like different things from the different bakeries. They have a great selection of cookies, pastries, and cakes. You can eat it onsite with some coffee or take a box to go. They also sell buckets of butter cookies (which is also available by mail). The bakery is really cute and storybook like just like the rest of the town. read more

I was excited to try their bakery, but I personally found the pastries a bit too sweet for my taste. If you enjoy sweeter flavors, you might really like them, they just weren't the right fit for me. Since I live in LA, I made the drive out to Solvang and noticed the customer service felt quite different from what I'm used to in the city, the staff came across as a bit cold. On the positive side, they do have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the space is charming. The cartoon baker decorations make for some fun photo opportunities while you're there. read more
