While wandering through Leavenworth, we stumbled upon The Danish Bakery and couldn't resist popping in. There was already a line forming, so we knew we had to take a look. The display case was filled with tempting treats like strudels, classic apple turnovers, oversized pretzels, and plenty more. Plus a full coffee menu to pair with it all. I chose the apple strudel, while my cousin went with a plain pretzel. The pretzel was a solid, comforting choice and she enjoyed it. My strudel was good, with that familiar buttery pastry and apple filling, though not the standout of the trip. Still, the cozy, quaint ambiance made it a pleasant stop, and it's the kind of place you'd happily return to just to sample more of the menu and soak in the charm.
Cute bakery!! Got a hot cider and a strudel after having dinner at Larch. It was packed in here! The hot cider was really good and really sweet. Very nice place for a quick danish pastry.
Came here for a sweet treat after doing a little hike. Staff was very friendly and around 12pm, they still had a decent amount of stuff available. Lots of great savory and sweet pastries. We had the pretzel and an apple turnover. They don't have "fancy" coffee drinks, but you can get your basic coffee, tea and hot cider. Good place for a quick treat!
There are a few places you can get a German pretzel in downtown Leavenworth, but the Danish Bakery is the best place to get them! They have salted and unsalted options, a coffee with other hot beverages. The pretzel comes with either a side of mustard or cheese. I opted for the salted pretzel with ground mustard. It was perfectly salted, not too much like when you get one at a movie theatre, this was bakery level for sure. The mustard paired deliciously, and it was a nice sit-down break inside from shopping and street chaos with people and carriage rides.
Cute little shop for bakery. Overall a good sweets place with reasonable collection. Tried a few items both were decent. Very sweet though.
This is a small bakery with some high quality treats. The staff is very friendly and the shop is clean and well lit with overhead lighting and a large storefront window. There are several tables for taking a walking break while tasting the baked goods. We picked up several items to take back to our room, but that cream cheese danish didn't make it out the door. The flavor was an excellent lemon and the pastry was flaky yet held together well. There was an almost crisp crunch to bits of the pastry that was excellent. Considering we just stopped by for a quickie, I was floored by the staff's friendly attitude and the quality of the goods. We ended up staying and picked up more to take out. We haven't been here in Leavenworth for about couple of years, so I was surprised that I forgot this place and glad to have rediscovered it.
TLDR: skip. I was honestly not impressed. My mom got a raspberry cream cheese danish, but I didn't enjoy either my florentina or almond Kringle. There was not even a HINT of almond cream or custard!!! Just a dry Kringle. So sad. Not worth it at all. I don't like caramel so the florentina tasted burnt to me. Not enjoyed at all. Service was as expected. There is seating inside.
We had a fun time ordering a selection of their delicious baked goods while on a day-trip to Leavenworth. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs so we had enough to enjoy for breakfast a few days. Don't really think you can go wrong, so let your tummy be your guide!
I really wanted to like this place, but it fell far short of the hype. We ordered a Cafe Mocha and a Latte, and both were incredibly bland. The coffee felt diluted and "watered down"--there was no richness or strength to the espresso at all. To make matters worse, the bread didn't even taste fresh. Even at around 8:30 AM, when you'd expect everything to be coming straight from the oven, the bread had a stale quality to it. Given the high price point, I expected a much higher standard of quality. Definitely overrated and not worth the visit.
During a great holiday visit to Leavenworth, we tried out many great foods. The Danish Bakery was on the list of places to go. It was super crowded and there was a long line. I found a seat and my daughters went to get sweets. I got an almond Kringle and it was just OK. Pastries are so much better if they're warmed up. One of my daughters got a raspberry scone and the other one got a lemon scone. Not entirely sure if they were scones because they were wrapped in a circle like a typical danish. I think they said that's what they were. The lemon one was the best. The raspberry ones sadly wasn't all that. And again it was thin, hard and cold. I only went to one bakery, but with all the choices there you might want to consider something else because it's not worth a long wait in line in my opinion.
Came into this place because it had a good smell. The service is friendly and helpful. They're very on it. Only downside is I wish they had more options. Overall, good place. The lemon danish is good. I'd recommend it.
We've been here three times, always getting something different. We love the Bavarian waffle and have enjoyed the all the pastries we've had. We had not read the reviews but now see that the soft pretzel is disappointing. It's bland, not really warm (even though they said it was) and the cheese is a side of orange nacho cheese. Would recommend avoiding getting a pretzel. We got an eggnog latte (seasonal) and it was drastically different in flavor back to back days. Would still recommend stopping by for a pastry.

My SO came here our first morning in town. After walking around the village, he bought a drip coffee here and enjoyed it. Second morning I joined him for a morning stroll and stopped here for coffee. Their drip coffee is kept in a vacuum pump dispenser behind the counter. A table at the far end of the counter holds a basket of individual cream cups (those little peel the lid kind), sugar and stir sticks. We added cream and walked back to the front having to 'cut through the line' of customers waiting to order, to reach the exit. There are a few tables inside, but we sat on a bench across the street in the sun. First sip of coffee and this is not good coffee. It's watered down. Even my SO agrees. Yesterday's brew was apparently better. I did not drink mine. It was bad. They have a variety of sweet treats available and many espresso drinks. IMHO, that table with the cream needs to be by the door and they need options like a thermal pitcher of milk for example. Also, everyone needs a tutorial on the water-to-coffee bean ratio necessary to make a good pot of coffee. There are too many coffee shops within yards of this shop to make this kind of basic mistake. read more

So many options ! From pretzels to breads to danishes and many other sweet and savory treats. There's also coffee and coffee drinks and Italian sodas. It was the end of our day, we spent all day walking around this quaint, touristy town. We ate good food and drank cold beer all day and we were ready for a sweet treat. We bought the strawberry danish and it was the perfect end to a perfect day. read more

Disappointing Food and Service @ The Danish Bakery in Leavenworth, WA. We tried a soft pretzel here the day before Thanksgiving and were disappointed indeed. Even though the line to order was long, it moved rather quickly. We ordered a salted soft pretzel with hot mustard and cheese sauce. After we paid, I asked the employee for a couple of napkins, since she didn't include any with our order, and were located directly behind her. Instead of handing me some, she told me there were napkins further down the counter, where I had to maneuver around other patrons and then back out across the narrow space. The pretzel itself was not warm, nor were we asked if we wanted it warmed up. It tasted like white bread with salt. Stale white bread. The cheese sauce tasted like literally nothing, but the hot mustard was good. The only good thing here was the .85 cent condiment cup of hot mustard. We would not return or recommend this bakery. read more

Stopped by to grab a coffee, Raspberry strudel, and a loaf of cinnamon bread... Coffee wasn't up to par for me and seemed too bitter. Raspberry strudel didn't last long at all. Flaky and not overdone with Raspberry filling. I didn't even realize that I really wanted the Raspberry turnover...oh well...next time! Ordered the loaf of cinnamon bread for my dad and they grabbed one with frosting on it...but I wanted the one that was caked on like YEEEAAAH BUUUUDDDDY! They switched it with no qualms about it... read more

We ordered things like the ham and cheese croissant, the cheese danish, the cream bollen, and coffee. The ham and cheese was so good we bought another one. The cheese danish was meh, but would've been better if there was more cream cheese filling, so I would not order again. The cream bollen is basically a cream puff with chocolate frosting dropped on top and it was okay. They have seating inside which is nice, but we had our dogs so we sat on one of the three benches out front, which was nice. This place is fine for breakfast on the go, but if you're there for vacation, don't be on the go- find a nice place to have a sit down breakfast. Wish I could love this place, but I've never really found Danish pastries to be excellent, except for this one place called Neldam's in Oakland, but that's a story for another time. read more
Came here early in the lunch hour and purchased a salted pretzel with cheese sauce. The pretzel was quite salty but the cheese sauce was a great pairing with it and it was great that the pretzel was nice and warm. I do think there could have been more cheese sauce but for around $7.50, it was good. There is a $0.50 surcharge if you pay with card over cash, which is kind of annoying. There could also be more seating indoors, since there are only a few window chairs and then one table. They could probably fit a couple of more tables inside, which would be nice considering the there's AC inside. read more

My husband loves danishes stopping at The danish bakery was a given. It is conveniently located within the center of of the downtown attractions. The selection of goods was vast and well displayed. He said the danishes were good, the cinnamon bread was drier than I'm accustomed too. Identical too many of the other businesses the customer service is nonexistent aside from one of the three placing your selections into a box and then checking you out. read more
