Best fudge in California hands-down, maybe in the country, maybe anywhere.. 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. read more

This is hands down the best Fudge & Soft Pretzel spot. Whenever we are in town, we have to stop by! 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! read more

We went in for one thing only - the pretzel! It comes with a side of cheese, take it or leave it, so why not take it? The pretzel was the most soft and buttery piece of dough I have had in recent memory. Totally worth the stop and a new favorite spot in Solvang! read more

Absolutely adored the staff. They were able to identify what products were used in each ingredient and go get help to review additional ingredients on items they were unsure about. We visited nearly every desert location in Solvang and you were the only ones who knew exactly what was in your ingredient list except for a local fruit stand because that was just fruit. You guys were able to make me a pretzel without butter due to my lactose intolerance, and were able to identify three different fudges for my children to stuff their mouths happily that they will not have any reactions to. We very much thank you. We also came back two days in a row because of such great service. See you guys in the future hopefully. read more

The Old Danish Fudge Kitchen also includes the pretzel shop and the hot dog and ice cream shop as well. Visited the Fudge Kitchen and Ice Cream Shop. Friendly and helpful staff.

Small spot, the girls attending us were sweet considering it was so busy. The pretzels were fresh and sooooo good with the cheese that comes with it. We didn't get fudge because it is sold per pound and we didn't want so much. The price for the pretzels is really reasonable as well read more

I was looking all over for an allergy friendly vegan option to eat. My husband is also vegan but doesn't have allergies. So for him it's been a tiny bit easier to eat while here in Solvang. For me? Not at all. Until we walked into the Fudge Kitchen. Known for their delicious pretzels, we figured we'd ask if they were vegan and allergen friendly. I want to say a HUGE thank you to the owner (I believe he was the owner) because he was kind enough to not only tell us the ingredients, show us the spray used and help us, but he also explained the process to us and took the time to prepare two separate pretzels for us that didn't contain the butter on top. The pretzels alone are vegan but once they come out of the stove they are brushed with butter. He went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful! The pretzels are extremely fresh and delicious! I see why people rave about them. Thank you so much for accommodating us and for such a great allergen friendly vegan option! Most importantly, thank you for your kind service. We greatly appreciate it and you! read more

Stopped into this fudge shop as it was the only one still open at 6pm on a Thursday. There is nowhere to sit inside as it's just a counter. There was nobody inside, but I felt rushed to make a decision by the employees and I was puzzled to see they only offered fudge by the slice, which is rather large. I wish they allowed you to purchase half slices, so I could try more flavors. Honestly I think I would have bought more had they offered this option. The Dark Chocolate with Walnuts was by far the best in my opinion, followed by Milk Chocolate with Macadamia. The Maple Pecan fudge was way too sweet and could have used more salt or something else to balance out the flavor. The pretzel wasn't that great, probably because it'd be sitting there all day, and came with canned cheese. read more

After a nice stroll around Solvang, my stomach started growling. But knowing that we have dinner plans - getting some snack here would be a great temporary solution. Upon walking in, there are displays of chocolates, fudge, pretzels, drinks, and everything in between. I love that the smell of chocolate flushes through your nose as you enter, making quick the entrance. The decor of the place is beautiful. I ordered a regular pretzel and it came with complimentary cheese. It was fluffy and fresh - so delicious! The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel so welcomed. Thanks for such a wonderful experience! read more

So much fudge!!! It was so hard to choose and I was bummed you couldn't try them but I understand. After going back and forth we decided on maple pecan fudge. It was so soft and tasty! Each bite was better than the next. They sell by the slice and one slice came out to $6.50. The service to be helped was fast and the employees were very sweet and accommodating. It's a very small shop so you go in, pick your fudge, pay and get out and enjoy it while walking the streets and shopping! read more

Pretty good fudge. I had a slice of the dark chocolate.Service was friendly and welcoming.

I was so distracted by the amazing looking fudge and felt rushed to order infront of the display case that I didn't even had time to snap any photos of the fudge! I did order a piece of candy cane fudge that had crushed candy cane pieces on the top of my fudge slice and then I got a peanutbutter fudge slice. Fudge slices are about 5 inches long, 2.5 inches high and 1 inch thick. Sadly, the candy cane pieces didn't last long since its sugar and dissolved from the moisture of the fudge by the next day. But my candy cane fudge has a great flavor and I am working on eating about two 1x1x1 a night. My adult son has never liked fudge and he has managed to eat his peanutbutter fudge in 4 days so I guess it was good! They sell more than just fudge too! They have fresh peanut brittle and caramel apples. Packaged candies like Swedish fish, salt water taffy and gummy candies. The fudge is definitely the lure for this shop as most people were ordering a slice or two. There was a line out of the door on a Saturday night but the sale clerks were friendly and quick to process orders to move the line along. read more

We tried the rocky road and walnut fudge. Fudge was ok. Service was good. I would maybe try the apples over the fudge.

Old Danish Fudge Kitchen is the place to pick up some yummy fudge. The variety of fudge is abundant. They sell other sweet treats, too, such as popcorn, nuts like pecans, pretzels, and other confection goods. Staff is usually very friendly and nice. I have purchased from here in the past. However, on my recent trip, I didn't get a chance to offer my patronage and support. Nevertheless, I always enjoy my visit here. It's one of the delightful candy stores in Solvang. Enjoy your visit! read more

I came in for a hot pretzel. It didn't disappoint. Unfortunately, they don't give out fudge samples. That might have lured me into buying some, honestly. The man working there was just lovely. So friendly. Solvang is a wonderful place. read more

Excellent fudge, many options. Reasonable prices. We had the chocolate peanut butter fudge. Delicious!

They have hot pretzels here. They are still piping hot minutes after purchase. It comes with a little container of cheese that reminds me of Ritz crackers cheese dip. I'd say get rid of the cheese dip and just get a packet of mustard to eat with your pretzel. The pretzel itself has a nice texture, a bit chewy and soft. But it didn't taste like a pretzel at all. read more

So many sweets to be had! The store specializes in making fudge in house, but they got other confection goods such as candies and pretzels. I've always wanted to try the fudge here. They sell them by the slice for half a pound. I was overwhelmed by the choices that they had and I wish they offered samples. So many flavors to choose from. I ultimately decided on chocolate raspberry and chocolate pecan. Since they don't melt and don't require any refrigeration, I brought it home to share with my family the day after since I was returning home. This is a very decadent treat, so cutting it up into pieces to share with others was what I did. We loved it! Service is good here. Workers are friendly and always willing to help. If I ever have another hankering for Danish fudge, I can order from their website. Bomb.com all around read more

We went to Solvang a week ago and stopped by the Old Danish fudge kitchen and bought 3 flavors for fudge...and it has lasted us until now. I think they make everything in house and you could certainly smell the sweet aroma of sugar, caramel, and chocolate near the store; heavenly. There was a line going out the door but it's a small store with no seating available. That said the line moved fast and the people at the counter were all smiles. The fudge comes in a size like a slice of bread but quadruple the thickness....you get a lot of fudge! Wow, their fudge is decadent, sweet and creamy...I don't think we knew what we were doing when we ordered 3 flavors...because it's a lot! For most of those in our family a teaspoon full of this fudge was a lot, which is why it lasted this long! What they offer here is a true guilty pleasure worth every bite and visit! read more

Their fudge is not as great as Id hoped for but they do deliver to out of town and the owner is very friendly

Going to solving at Christmas time has been sort of a family tradition. One of the places we stop by is here for the amazing fresh baked pretzels. I can honestly say you won't find a better pretzel. Warm and chewy. You have to get it with the cheddar cheese. Eat it while it's hot. Most people just stand or sit on a bench just outside. read more

5 stars for service, not goods, because I didn't even buy anything! But hear me out! I made it to Solvang for their Christmas kick off weekend so all the shops were decked out for the holidays. Almost every store front had a Christmas tree set up outside, some themed to whatever goods the store sold. As I was strolling along by this store, I saw their Christmas tree was decorated in PRETZELS! I'm a true foodie, even my tree at home is covered in food ornaments so I just knew I had to have one of these pretzels to bring home with me. I popped in to ask if they sold the pretzel ornaments but they unfortunately did not. HOWEVER, the nice young man helping me said if I wanted, I could just take one off the tree. I couldn't believe my ears and thanked him a bajillion times before running out to grab my ornament. Seriously! This was the highlight of my trip and the perfect souvenir to bring home for my Christmas tree. Thank you to the guy here for making me such a happy girl! I unfortunately did not have room to buy a pretzel and I don't care for fudge, but the line was out the door and the store smelled heavenly so I'm sure their treats are worth trying! read more

Absolutely decadent chocolate. I highly recommend it! The danish toffee is also wonderful!

Old Danish Fudge Kitchen is best known for their fudge, but my husband and I came here for their soft pretzel (I think fudge is just too sweet for me so I would probably not purchase it). I saw a sign of a soft pretzel on the outside of their store and decided to come here for that because I just love soft pretzels. We were just here this past Saturday, around 1 pm. We didn't wait in line too long to make our order. I got: Soft Pretzel, $3.25- This pretzel does come with a side of cheese for free if you want. There are also mustard packets by the register as well. I thought the pretzel was good and the size was fair for the price. The side of cheese reminded me of the cheddar cheese you get in the Handi-Snacks cheese and crackers packet. I thought the cheese was okay but maybe would have liked it to be softer and also more of it. I would come back here again for another soft pretzel. read more

Creamy, decadent, rich handmade Danish fudge with flavors like thick peanut butter, dark walnut, Oreo Chunk, and Brown Sugar. Absolutely delicious and soft. They also have toffee, homemade candies, and other satisfying goodies. The service could have been friendlier, I admit. The girl behind the register smirked when I asked for a small sample. I still bought several slices of fudge but was very curious about trying other flavors before buying a fourth slice. The fudge is a very generous portion and enough to last for a few days. Still worth a visit whenever you are in Solvang though! read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a Danish fudge shop in Solvang, California, and I must say it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The owner of the shop is one of the friendliest individuals you'll ever meet. When I mentioned that we had driven all the way from Nevada, he surprised us with an extra slice of their famous rocky road fudge, completely free of charge. This unexpected and generous gesture left a lasting impression. The selection of fudge at this shop is remarkable. I found the quality to be the best I've ever had. While my personal favorites were the rocky road and dark chocolate pecan varieties, I also thoroughly enjoyed the Oreo and maple pecan options. Each bite was a delight, with the fudge's rich texture and flavors creating a truly indulgent experience. Pro tip: Don't miss out on their Danish cookies. They come in a bucket and are absolutely worth trying alongside the fudge. The combination of the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies and the exquisite fudge is a match made in dessert heaven. Aside from the fudge, the caramel apples offered at the shop are simply to die for. They are made fresh daily, just like everything else in the store. The commitment to freshness is evident in every treat they offer, and it greatly enhances the overall enjoyment. One aspect that impressed me was the cleanliness of the establishment. The staff was diligent in wiping down the countertops and glass display cases, ensuring that the fudge was beautifully presented without any smudge marks obstructing the view. This attention to detail added to the overall appeal of the shop. In addition to the fudge and caramel apples, I highly recommend exploring their selection of saltwater taffy and other candy treats. The quality and taste of these items are absolutely incredible and worth indulging in. Considering the exceptional quality of their products, I found the prices to be quite reasonable. It's evident that the shop prioritizes delivering top-notch fudge and treats without charging exorbitant prices. This makes the experience even more enjoyable, as you can savor the deliciousness without breaking the bank. Despite the popularity of the shop, they have an efficient ordering system in place. Even during busy times with lines stretching outside around the corner, the line moves swiftly, ensuring that you don't have to wait too long to satisfy your sweet tooth. This efficient process speaks to the shop's commitment to providing excellent service to its customers. Overall, my experience at this Danish fudge shop was nothing short of amazing. It was so incredible that my family and I occasionally plan trips from Las Vegas to Solvang specifically to stock up on several pounds of fudge for Christmas. The staff members are always welcoming with warm smiles, and their genuine passion for their work as chocolatiers is evident. If you're in the area, I highly recommend paying them a visit and indulging in the delightful fudge and treats they have to offer. read more

A very popular spot in Solvang. If you have a sweet tooth, this place serves classic fudge. Rich, gooey goodness! I recommend the Maple Pecan if you're not a huge chocolate fan, like me. The flavor is very sweet and resembles a maple donut!! The huge pecans add texture and this huge block is very easy to share. read more

This Old Danish Fudge Kitchen was our first stop in Solvang! The fudge display caught my eye from the sidewalk, but the pretzel sign and the stacked, white buckets of Danish butter cookies in the window sold me. The Old World Pretzel definitely hit the spot! Mustard packets and a side of cheddar cheese are available to spread and enjoy with every bite of the warm, fluffy, salty pretzel. The butter cookies are so good. The bucket stares at me when I'm in the kitchen, so there goes my hand into the cookie jar! So easy to gobble up more than one at a time. Just enough butter and slight crunch factor to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. Only one customer/family allowed inside when ordering. Would recommend when you find yourself strolling along Alisal Rd. read more
