In town visiting family and they told us about this amazing bakery they frequent in the Denver…read morearea. So they took us to experience Taste of Denmark. As soon as I walked in I could smell the aroma of amazing fresh baked goods, they offer a large variety of Danish pastries as well as savory baked goods and freshly baked breads. Taste of Denmark also offers coffee drinks and other beverages. We choose a small variety of baked goods to take home and let me tell you I thought my Italian culture could bake but the Danes do an incredible job baking their cultural treats. So many choices and will take several visits to try them all. The staff was friendly and helpful answering our many questions of "what's this one and what's that one" . Every pastry we purchased was amazing and incredibly fresh, very reasonably priced. A very unique taste and unlike other bakeries they offer a very different type of pastry that is not like the others. So tasty and delizioso. Taste of Denmark you guys bake up deliciousness! Grazie Mille!

I have heard about Taste of Denmark for a while now and finally made it in. Honestly, I understand…read moreand don't understand the hype. Some items were good but others were kinda bland. The almond krinkle (which I think is their most popular) was probably the best item we had next to the jalapeño sour dough. The loafs of bread were good and tasty and I would consider buying them to make a sandwich with. They have a lot of options. I wish there were names. I was just guessing what looks good and pointing at what I wanted. The parking lot is small but most people get their pastries and leave. The space is small. They have indoors and outdoor seating. No one sat inside when we went so we were kinda the first. Service is friendly and they do try to get you your order quick.

The cookies are made to order and baked fresh so give it a good 45 minute or so for the cookies to be ready! We were feeling lazy so we ordered it for local delivery (+$10) but they kept in touch over text and kept us in the loop about our cookie delivery! The cookies are MASSIVE and absolutely delicious! So ooey gooey and crunchy all in one. Definitely will order from here next time we're back (perfect drunchies!! Or honestly any time)

They have such a wide selection of "fun" cookie names on their site, you will just have to browse through all and make your selection. As everyone mentions, the cookies are huge! About 2x the size of a normal cookie. They are definitely on the sweeter and decadent side, but exactly what you are looking for late night on a weekend. In my experience, it takes about 30 minutes from the time you place the order to being ready.

I gobbled my cherry hand pie down so fast that my Grandma Lucile would have chastised me for my rude behavior! My friend ordered the chicken pot pie and it looked so yummy I bought one to take home to my husband. I enjoyed the curry hand pie and boy - what a fantastic flavor in pie crust! Double Yum! My only regret today is I didn't buy a few more mini pies to take home to my freezer! Way to go small business! #pieisawayoflife PS The store is very cute and decorated with fun little gifts or treats you could make as a hostess gift when you stop to get a pie to bring for dessert. #DontwalkRUN!

It was around 2pm, not so busy inside, and the servers were really nice helping us what the difference in flavors, what their specialties were and offered samples to help us decide. WHAT WE SWALLOWED: *PECAN PRALINE MINI SUNDAE: I just love me some candied nuts and pecan praline has always been a favorite of mine since I was a child. The girl behind the counter was smart in giving me this sample ans I scooped it right up. Creamy ice cream and delicious pecan pralines. This was so good. *COOKIE MONSTER MINI SUNDAE: One of my daughters got this and I have to admit, the cookie monster ice cream in itself was so good. The lady behind the counter said it was one of their specialties. It's blue (duh) and it has either brownie or chocolate chunks. It was really good but I didn't want to be walking around with a blue mouth (yes, it made my daughter's mouth blue!) lol *THE MERMAID MINI SUNDAE: My other daughter got this as she loves mermaids. It was very cute and the ice cream inside it was delicious but she did say the mermaid tail tasted like wax (it was chocolate) and she didn't even finish it (which is saying a lot). Be prepared for lots of ice cream and the price tag that comes with it. Worth of stop if you're in the area, happy we had our sundae fix satiated but not sure if I would drive all the way down here just for this.
