    We love Ole & Steen! However now the bread we always get Christianhavner has raised in prices to $9.95! Now it is even more crucial to get the bread loyalty card! Hubby is hooked to their bread and we wouldn't buy from anywhere else.

    Kloben bun
    Lauren L.

    I didn't realize that this was a New York thing, but it is all around the city. I tried the kloben bun as this was highly recommended and I particularly didn't love it since it tasted too healthy. It was heavy on the cardamom and too perfume heavy for me. I also tried the matcha pumpkin drink and the quality of matcha was not the best. It was more on the milky side and little flavor.

    Fair prices, plenty of indoor seating, and very friendly and efficient staff. Shoutout to the male Asian barista who got my entire group's pastry and drink orders and got us checked out in record time. He was hustling!! I also appreciated the abundance of seating since so many spaces now seem to prioritize getting customers in and out instead of creating community spaces. I really enjoyed the chocolate social (would've been perfect if we had the option to order it warmed up), and the latte was solid but the espresso was really overpowered by the milk.

    They were out of hot chocolate. Black coffee tasted old/burnt. Cute couches, but disappointing, this. See fly flying around. If any of the pastries I collected are amazing, I'll definitely repost! Sigh-- Update: this croissant-like pinkish roll thing with dark chocolate in it is indeed delicious! It's like a roll with just a bit of dark chocolate, not too heavy. Copenhagener-- giant shell of poppy seeds, no cream. Did they forget? So weird. You must really like poppy seeds. See pic of interior giant hole. Cinnamon social- too gooey/sweet sweet for my taste. I'm not sure what to make of this place.

    The customer service definitely earned them the 5 stars. I thought the gentlemen working this morning were very hospitable. I ordered the kloben bun, the chocolate social and a spiced pumpkin latte. All were delicious! The spiciness of the cardamom really comes through in the kloben bun. The chocolate social makes me think of babka bread but it's better. There's a slight fudgy chocolate layer. The latte was not too sweet and tasted like they used real pumpkin (I forget what it said it was made with). They have a decent amount of seating and it's fairly spacious inside.

    cute danish bakery and coffee shop with comfy seating in the back! (note wifi is not the best) tried the copenhagen pastry, was good, lightly sweetened and tons of poppy seeds! the workers here were so friendly and helped start my day off on a bright note! will come back to try the cinnamon social pastry and latte.

    Ole and Steen is definitely pricey for my limited budget. I can't help but say I'm definitely returning for more of the delicious pastries. When I saw Rye with chocolate! I had to have it. The shift manager and every employee I spoke to was so friendly and helpful. It was a great experience. They have two restrooms in the back and plenty of seats. The place was full of customers enjoying their coffee. They serve Counter Culture Coffee! They open pretty early so I'll get here early. I'm definitely going to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and delicious food and coffee. This is a great addition to my old neighborhood. I lived across the street on 87th Street for years! I'm recommending!

    Latte and Skagen Roll

    Clean and spacious interior. Helpful and amazing staff. I ordered the latte which was okay, more on the milky side. Lots of pastry options. Skagen Roll was decent as well.

    Vanilla Cream Fastelavn Bund and Blueberry Hazelnut Fastelavn Buns
    Seby I.

    Thank you Cayla for suggesting Ole & Steen where I have been going since they first opened. This weekend, Fastelavn, is being celebrated in Denmark and also Scandinavia. It is the day to use up all the sugar and flour to make pastries for carnival before Lent begins. Out of four choices, I had the Vanilla Cream Bun which resembled a cake with large puffs of whipped cream in the middle and a tiny chocolate decoration with more cresm on top. When I cut it to eat the bun tasted like puff pastry that had hardened a bit and the cream was vanilla tinged. It was rich and I kept half to eat later. It was expensive at $8+change. I managed not to faint. The servers were happy that I came as a Yelp attendee. Several customers were enjoying pastries. It was bright with plenty of seating.

    infamous Danish bakery & cafe Welcome to Upper East Side! Their baked products are amazing! Make sure try out their trademarked Cinnamon Social. Their sandwich is very good at reasonable prices Kids under age of 10 can receive FREE Fastelavn Bun 86 St and Lexington

    Chocolate bun and sourdough roll
    Michael C.

    Happy to have ole and steen in the neighborhood. The quality of baked goods definitely appears more elevated than LPQ in the area. There's a lot of people behind the counter who keep things moving and give helpful advice. My wife and I ordered the chocolate chip bun and a sourdough roll. The chocolate bun was bready and filled with chocolate chips though a bit dry. The sourdough roll had a crisp exterior and was quite tasty with butter. We will definitely go back as the best thing we had there was a free sample of their flourless chocolate cake. It was moist, chocolatey, light and not too sweet. Divine! Also their oat milk lattes are some of the best I've had.. but a bit pricey.

    The thought of ordering a danish at a Danish bakery is something I could not pass up . The pastry looked delicious with fresh ingredients and nicely sized portions. I ordered the Kloben which was a sweet dough with cardamom, raisins, raw sugar on top. The danish was very good and the cardamom was super nice. Not overly sweet like a cinnamon roll

    The breads are tasty but at the site they say they're baked all day. My observation is that fresh loaves only appear in the mornings.

Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before. The inside doesn't have many tables and it was pretty busy when I went, so I wouldn't expect to get a seat every time you come here.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!!

The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
