Located right across from Bryant Park, about 5-8 minutes walk from Time Square. Since it's NYC, I feel the need to let you know that there's a bathroom here. Never went in but it's available. A Danish bakery from Denmark. The only things I got are sour dough croissants to bring back home prior to my flight. They're pretty big and the month I went (end of January), there was a special promotion of $3 a sourdough croissants. It's delicious even after reheating it back home. Flakey yet soft. Highly recommend. A great spot to stop for a break on your feet if you're not used to walking 20,000+ steps/day. Lots of tables and chairs. First day, the servers were attentive. In the morning when they're overwhelmed with customers, they may not be as attentive even though there's more staffs. Pastries on one side and drinks are made across another counter but in the same cafe. You pay at the main register by the pastries. Prices are on the higher end unless there's some sort of promotions going on. It's quite loud inside but that doesn't bother me. If you're a college student, perhaps not stop by here as it is semi-dimmed and loud. read more

Obsessed with this place! Everything I've purchased is delicious It's always busy but doesn't take too long to get a snack. Plenty of seats inside. I also love that it's Danish pastries. There are so many Italian or French pastry spots in New York I feel like this chain is unique Pro tip: download the app for a free pastry read more

We stumbled up on this place and it was a good idea to check it out. We got the blueberry and cinnamon social. The blueberry one was just ok but the cinnamon one was great. It was almost like a cinnamon roll but leaning more toward a loaf of bread. I would come back for more of their pastries. read more

Manhattan, NY (midtown west) - originated from Denmark, O&S is known for their high-quality breads and baked goods, offering daily breads, sandwiches, toasties, soups, pastries, and a range of café drinks. Their seasonal and holiday themed treats are always adorable and delightful. I'm not usually a sweets person but hot damn, their CINNAMON SWIRL roll might just convert my savory-loving heart! It's a perfect union of chewy texture, stickiness, and flavor. Definitely get that. At $9 the HOT CHOKOLADE feels like an attack on your wallet, but Swiss Miss this ain't! It's extremely rich and velvety, like drinking a melted chocolate bar. And even though the cup seems small, trust me you'll want to share it to not drop dead of indulgence. Right across from Bryant Park, this location is always slammed so is not the most relaxing spot to hang out at, but is convenient for a quick caffeine-and-carb hit between tourist-ing or as you go about your business. read more

Was in the area and came across this cafe, which is very spacious inside. They seemed to have good selection of bakery items along with sweets and coffee and drinks. I got the cinnamon slice which wasn't bad. Seems like a good place to relax and maybe do some work while munching some goodies. read more

Every time I'm in New York always looking forward to stopping by an Ole & Steen Lagkagehuset location. Reminds me of my time in Denmark and all the yummy things there. Service is fast and perhaps more NYC streamlined than a traditional bakery, which usually will walk you down the counter and choose :-) I may need to try the Goldbelly shipping when not in NYC. read more

Had breakfast here during our trip to NYC. Spectacular! The breakfast pastries were delish. Had the Ham and Cheese Toasty, the Savory Spinach Swirl, The Avocado Egg Smorrebrod and the Cinnamon Social. All fresh and delicious. Coffee was good as well. Wish I had one these here in Atlanta. Counter Service was great and a cool European vibe inside. Wonderful! read more

I've previously been to the UES location, which I love. We came here on a Saturday after being turned off by the crowds and the expensive food prices at the Bryant Park Winter Village. Not a long line to order but many of the tables are occupied (seemed to be mainly by tourists). I ordered the following: Turkey feast sandwich $13.95 - very good! I love a good Thanksgiving sandwich! The stuffing on the sandwich appeared to have sausage meatballs in it so these were perfect for my baby Hot Chocolate $7.95 - I might consider this one of the top hot chocolates I've had in the city but when I realized what I was charged it became less appealing. For the size you get it's on the higher side and it didn't help that I didn't get a marshmallow. They ran out! Kloben bun $4.45 Total $28.29 Overall definitely a good option for grabbing food or pastries. read more

I wish I could drink Ole & Steen hot chocolate every cold day of my life! Something about it reminds me of the Dominican hot chocolate my mom makes , and they add a big square marshmallow to sweeten the deal. Literally so super delicious. I also loved their chocolate swirl and fig slice pastries and found myself picking up some more for the plane ride back home! This location offers savory bites and sweet treats as well as cafe beverages and a grab and go bottled drink station. They also have lots of seating for working, studying, or just enjoying your order. I high recommend this location and can't wait for my next trip to try more of their bites and for another cup of hot cocoa! read more

I really like this place. Great, fresh food, and solid coffee. Pretty fast (though at times indifferent) service. Good amount of seating, and you can usually get a spot. The only thing that seems a bit wonky to me is ordering coffee from one line (that is usually packed with people trying to decide on bread and pastries), and then picking up at the separate coffee place across the way. I've had a few things, both savory and sweet, from the counter, and it's all been delish. I love (crave) the toasties! All really good. read more

Ole & Steen is a must visit if you love cinnamon rolls. I stopped in here for one and it was so delicious. The cafe is very no frills, doesn't have that comfy cozy or hip vibe but the bakery items make up for it so much! The cinnamon roll must be about 7,000 calories but it's so worth it. I treated myself to this along with some other breakfast items from nearby and enjoyed them in Bryant park. Such a relaxing treat. read more

Ole & Steen is a Danish bakery chain that has a few locations in NYC, this review for the location on 40th and 5th Ave, at the southwest corner of Bryant Park. Things I love: - third space. Lots of tables to sit and catch up with a friend before work or rest your feet if you're a tourist. - excellent coffee. I'm partial to latte's - cardamom buns and cinnamon rolls. These are my favorite pastries of all time. - wifi. you can work here, but please be kind during peak hours. - location can't be beat. - staff are fast and know their stuff. - huge variety of sandwiches, pastries, cookies, breads, coffee, matcha, tea, juices, breakfast or lunch or snacks The meh: - prices are high, where a coffee and pastry and tip may go over $20. You're paying for the privilege to sit. If you're grabbing to go, I'm sure there are better options. - it can be loud - this location is split level, where the cute seating is not ADA accessible without asking someone to help you with a lift that takes you up 3 steps. There is one table that is ground level. - my cardamom bun today was a little stale, and for a 9am breakfast, that's a bit unforgivable. Usually they're much better. - getting a clean table is more dependent on the willingness of the prior person to clean up vs the staff wiping things down because the seats turn over super fast. read more

I like this place. I am usually coming in before 800 am but the line situation can get weird. People just walk in and don't bother to line up sometimes. I have tried the cinnamon social and the chocolate social and both were good. I've also tried the lox sandwich for lunch and that wasn't bad! read more

Efficient staff, tasty pastries, and tons of indoor seating, but coffee didn't quite hit the spot as much as some of the nearby cafes. My mocha didn't taste enough like coffee or chocolate and it felt like I was drinking a tall cup of hot milk. Not bad for warming up on a chilly afternoon but not what I was looking for. read more

Great eats! I went here Sunday, after the Bryant Park Festival event market. So, I was hungry, but didn't want junk food I got the beet & Feta, Arugula Salad for dinner & topped it off w/ these great & tasty Lavender sugar cookies It's a healthy spot to eat. Im definitely, going bk for the Lavender sugar cookies, it's a different twist. I recommend this location. read more

Served both my husband and I regular milk when we ordered and paid for oat milk. Didn't taste it until quarter a mile walk away and dint have time to correct our order. Thanks for starting our day sour. Please pay attention next time. Pastries looked good though. Barista on 4/10/26 11:50am. read more

We came in for a drink. the ambiance was fine. standard for New York to be honest. The service however wasn't. Workers weren't necessarily rude but completely indifferent. that alone makes me never want to come back. However, the worst part was the food. I tried their matcha latte and was in utter shock at the lack of flavor. The only thing matcha about the drink was the color. It tasted like nothing but watered down water and milk. I spilt the drink and the worker rudely disregarded me. We felt very bad and decided to get the mousse cake to try something else. It ended up being nothing special. It was overwhelmingly sweet, which overpowered the chocolate taste to the point it didn't even seem like a chocolate cake anymore. Altogether, this place was horrible. Don't recommend. For the prices they charge you're better off anywhere else. read more

Loved this German bakery!!! Went there every single day, their different hot chocolates were great! Their cinnamon and chocolate rolls were also amazing. Even got one of their sandwiches for lunch. The cool part about this place is that it is right across the street from Bryant Park Winter Village. Can't say enough positive things about this place. For sure will return when visiting Times Square. read more

This place stole my heart! Finding high quality pastries that taste incredible but also digest correctly is almost impossible! I ate 3-4 pastries from here and didn't even feel bloated woke up today feeling fine went to bathroom fine which is absolutely unheard of in America! Baffled and in love! 10/10 for me .. Aesthetic was gorgeous to! Location 10/10 Make sure you leave a small tip for the staff in the front they're amazing and absolutely deserve it! Total characters! I feel like I lived here my whole life but really felt the New York experience here I can see why everyone loves New York after coming here! Bravo! read more

Been here a few times and there's always something new to try. The place is always buzzing with tourists and locals alike. Love the variety of breads, pastries, and sweet treats to choose from. The breads are my favorites, it doesn't matter if it's covered in seeds, dry fruit, olives they're all delicious! The space is roomy with lots of seating at the rear of the bakery. Service is quick and can feel a bit rushed since it's always so busy. read more

I personally prefer French or Eastern European baked goods. That being said, Ole & Steen has a nice selection of pastries. They are much different than our palates are used to but fit the bill for a morning pastry or afternoon treat This location is very bare bones and unaestetically appealing. One side is for pastry ordering and the other side is for coffee ordering. It's good for grab and go. I sat in the park across the street. read more

The people are all very welcoming and pleasant and polite. The huge spaces of seating and different type of seating options are top tier always .they have bathrooms too. Their menu isn't too pricey and they have a rewards program, if you sign up you get a free treat! read more

I ordered a large 20oz black tea at the counter and went to the bar to pick it up. After waiting for a while, I noticed a small 16oz black tea sitting there. I asked if it was order #353, and the man behind the bar gave me attitude, saying, "Yeah, that is." I asked, "Is this 20oz?" and he snapped, "YEAH, IT'S BLACK TEA." I clarified again, "No, is this 20oz?" He stuttered, "Yeah, yeah it is," even though the cup clearly said 16oz on the bottom. So I received an attitude and a lie. When I pointed it out later, there was no apology. Won't be coming back. read more

Originally came to this place because I had gone to an old and steen in London and I really like the one in London however, this one here wasjust alright.

Ole & Steen is a fantastic spot for coffee and pastries! Their coffee is rich and smooth, and the pastries are absolutely divine - flaky, fresh, and full of flavor. I always stop here when visiting Bryant park and they are always incredibly busy but the line is moving rather quickly. I never had a chance to sit down there due to how busy they are but will come back for sure! read more

It's a nice cafe with ample seating inside. My friends and I hung out here for a bit. The pastries looked appetizing and eye catching. I ended up buying the cinnamon roll and had it warmed up. It tasted just like the cinnamon bun; warm and gooey. The service was okay. I wish they had more sandwich options like sandwiches with chicken breast and not deli meat. The bathroom area was clean. I wouldn't mind coming her again and trying other pastries. They were reasonably priced for their size. read more

Such a popular spot! My friend and I stopped in for a coffee and snack in the afternoon because of how yummy their pastries looked in the window and it was definitely a bustling place and might be hard to do work in. But the line moves quickly and the cashiers and baristas are also really quick! Our lattes were pretty good, the cinnamon social syrup was good. I wish there was a pastry menu to read about while I was in line since I couldn't really see the pastries until I got to the front but I did enjoy our pastries and they were unique but overall the taste was pretty standard. I wish they were able to be warmed up so I recommend taking them home if you do try them! Overall a decent coffee shop. read more

Loved their pastries and their breakfast sandwiches! We got the danish ham and cheese sandwich along with the cinnamon swirl and wow! Great day to start my morning! I didn't not expect the food to be so delicious bur it was! I love how the sandwich was light and not too heavy or oily. It had just the right amount of egg and not too salty either! And I must say that cinnamon swirl is probably what most people get because they literally have them in a designated section. It was a section full of them! Their coffee is just as good too whether you choose house coffee or a little more into it. Whether this is better or the heritage bakery down the block is up to you to decide. I think each have their own unique strengths and it just depends what you are in the mood for. Heritage is more known for their pastries like their pistachios muffin while this place is more known for their cinnamon swirls. To each their own! read more
