    This iconic bakery is my favorite bakery in Solvang! There are so many bakeries in the area but this one has outdoor seating in pink, the floral decor throughout is beautiful. Inside is a plethora of dessert all wonderfully packaged. It's very difficult to decide what to get! We managed to get a treat for each of us. A souvenir of Solvang! They package it in a box with their monogrammed sticker. Definitely stop her while in Solvang!

    Sarah Bernhardts was the one bakery item I wanted to bring home but the ones at Danish Mill Bakery looked different than the last time I was there. Good thing I only bought two to try as it tasted different as well. Solvang Bakery came through with how they're supposed to be. Moist, not dry almond cookie topped with a chocolate ganache enrobed in more chocolate. So good, I bought 2 boxes of 6 to bring home and to share, lefse which I rarely see, and apple streudel even though our hotel had breakfast. Worth every bite and the service is excellent as they answered all our questions.

    Super cute bakery which had a few different items than the other bakeries in town. Got a jalapeño cheese and ham croissant and a chai latter. The crossaint was warmed up and was delicious! The latte was good as well and service was friendly.

    The Solvang Bakery was our last stop before heading out. During busy weekends this little shop is so crowded that we've avoided going inside. Today was a perfectly slow day that we found ourselves the only customers in the late afternoon. We were able to take our time browsing every shelf and display. The gingerbread houses were amazing. Everything looked so tasty, especially those Danish buttercookies beautifully boxed and wrapped with ribbon. I found myself going back to them until finally giving in to buying a couple to share with family. The type and shape of the buttercookies is slightly different in each box. A small bag is also available. Super-cute, bright, clean and organized. Friendly staff. I'm so glad we finally had a chance to visit.

    i had seen many people mention this bakery as one of their stops for solvang, and i had to check it out since it was such a cute pink bakery !! the bakery itself was very cute with the all pink tables & chairs and building, and i liked seeing the gingerbread house displays. the shop is pretty small and can get a little stuffy when crowded, but the service is pretty fast. i only ordered the gingerbread cookie to try, and it was honestly just ok. it was pretty dry and not that strong in cinnamon or ginger flavor, so i wouldn't get it again. they did have a cute design tho for summer where the gingerbread has a swimsuit, so i give them props for cuteness! unfortunately since i didn't try the other things, my review is based solely on the gingerbread cookie, but i may try the jalapeno onion cheese bread if i'm ever in the area again since it looked pretty yummy!

    The Solvang Bakery is one of a couple Danish bakeries in Solvang California. They all offer similar pastries but in their unique way. The Solvang Bakery offers a delightful section of pastries and breads, including their Jalapeño Onion Cheese Bread, amazing gingerbread cookies, almond kringle, and authentic buttery Danish butter cookies. I personally could not get enough of their amazing Jalapeño Onion Cheese Bread loaf. It has a blend of cheddar cheese, poppy seeds, onion, and a bit of garlic, creating a flavorful experience. Along with its cozy ambiance, clean bakery, and friendly staff, this is a must visit location when in town.

    If I could rate them a 10, I soooo would!!! This bakery is bright & full of delightfulness!!! Tons of cute presents for yourself or others. And the service was supreme!!! Their display case was full of goodies & makes u want 2 buy it all. My sister bought many cookies so we each could have 1 & the ladies gave her a discount which they didn't have 2. Super friendly & just a delight 2 shop in!!! Come on in & show them some love!!!

    We stopped in for a quick gingerbread cookie to-go and ended up grabbing a small dog-treat bag for our puppy too. Both my dog and I loved our versions! I do wish they had a small bag of the gingerbread men in a cute little gift bag like they do for the butter cookies. However, it was Labor Day, so maybe that's something they offer around Christmas. Either way, it was a cute little stop and definitely worth grabbing a treat for both of us!

    Lemon bar
    Brandy G.

    Staff? So kind! Inside? SO CUTE!! Outside? Even cuter being pink! Bakery good? I got the lemon bar and it was so good!!!!! The level of lemon and zest in the piece I got was delicious and worth the $4 I paid! Parking can be limited if it's a busy day, right outside of shop but it was pouring rain when we went so we got front parking. Restroom is closed to patrons so we had to walk about a block to go to the public restroom, but they were really clean!

    Solvang Bakery is seriously the cutest spot ever. The inside is so visually aesthetic: everything has this adorable pink theme that makes it feel warm, cozy, and picture-perfect. It's one of those places where you walk in and immediately want to take photos because it's just that cute. The service was so nice and welcoming too. They were patient, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. We got the strawberry cheese danish and it was sooo yummy. The filling was creamy and smooth, perfectly sweet but not overpowering. The strawberry on top added a fresh, slightly tangy balance that made every bite so good. The pastry itself was flaky, buttery, and soft in the center, you can tell it's made fresh. Overall such a sweet little bakery with great vibes and even better pastries. Definitely would come back.

    Cute shop! A variety of baked goods and little Knick knacks. Cheese danish- 5/10 Gingerbread man - 2/10 (according to my sister. Couldn't taste the spices of a traditional gingerbread man. Stale) Brownie- 7/10 my niece said it was good although there was too much frosting on it) Wicked sugar cookie - 5/10 nothing special. Cute printed cookie. Eclaire - 8/10 (according to my mom) she said it was good. Would buy it again when she's around town. Service was fine. Not too friendly nor rude.

    apple strudle
    Brandon W.

    I like the Sarah Bernhart cookies here the best. It's got a good almond cookie base, small ganache and chocolate top. Just the right balance, nothing over powering other parts. Also has apple strudle for breakfast, they can warm it up for you if you like. I saw small birthday cakes, great when you only need it for 2 or 3 people, as opposed to getting a giant 8 inch cake. I want to go back and try more. Service was great, they answered all my quetions and was able to provide shelf life for all the items.

    Cute christmas tree
    Brenda R.

    The cutest little bakery with charm and old school feel. The inside boasts lots of fun gift items! ...and is just lovely! The outside reminds me of the perfect bakery! Service is swift and friendly! We got quite a few Danish but ate them in the car all i had left was a strawberry cake

    I was in town working an event and had some extra time to explore the Danish village. Since the…read morearea is known for its Danish bakeries, I couldn't leave without bringing home some cookies. I still remember buying butter cookies at the Copenhagen airport, and I've been craving that same style ever since, especially because there aren't many places near me in my area that sell them freshly made. I randomly came across Danish Village Bakery and found a tub of assorted cookies for around $20. The lady working inside helped me right away and answered my questions about which items were the most popular and whether the cookies were freshly made. She was friendly and made the visit quick and easy. You can buy Danish cookies at regular grocery stores, but these tasted completely different. They were softer, fresher, and had that rich, buttery flavor that packaged cookies are usually missing. They were even better than the airport cookies I remembered! The bakery itself had a cute, homey, old-fashioned atmosphere, and there was plenty of free parking nearby. I'm really glad I stopped in because the cookies ended up being one of my favorite treats from the trip. I would definitely return for another tub the next time I'm in town.

    BONJOUR, DARLINGS!…read more It is I, Mozzarella! International pink poodle, professional service dog, and apparently an UNWELCOME GUEST! Mama and I visited Olsen's Danish Village Bakery in Solvang, where a woman behind the counter rudely told us to LEAVE! MON DIEU! Darling, I'm a TRAINED SERVICE DOG, not a raccoon attempting to rob your pastry counter! I wasn't there to sample the Danish. I WAS WORKING! Thankfully, every other establishment we visited in Solvang welcomed us with kindness and hospitality. As for Olsen's, the pastries looked tired, the selection was disappointing, and the customer service desperately needed obedience training. ONE STAR. I'd give zero paws, but Yelp insists. BISOUS!

    The spice trade was once one of the most intricate and sought after commodites in history with…read moremonarchs and sultans devising the best routes to get their hands onto the rarest of spices showing their wealth and class of not only themselves but their representative countries. Although nowadays spices are much more easier to come by (just drive down to your nearest supermarket!); many spices are still on the scarcer side and represent luxury. Have no fear, though, because you no longer have to board a ship and find the passage to the Middle East but can simply head to the Solvang Spice Merchant. Solvang Spice Merchant is a female-owned (shout out to girl bosses!) spice boutique located in the central hub of the famous Danish tourist city of Solvang near Santa Barbara. Opening its doors a couple years before the Covid pandemic in 2018; Solvang Spice Merchant not only survived but thrived with a brick and mortar storefront and an online shipping option (flat rate of $10 shipping no matter the size of purchase!). The business features hand-crafted spices and seasonings, teas, and foodie gift sets serving both tourists and Solvang residents, alike. My boyfriend and I ventured into the Solvang Spice Merchant when visiting Solvang from Los Angeles for the city's Christmas-time Julefest and gazed our eyes on a shop that would make any King or emperor proud. The store is filled with floor to ceiling shelves of spices/seasoning mixes categorized by country/region and then further sub-categorized by ingredients, styles (BBQ, Pickling, etc) available in various bottle sizes (plus some can be purchased at the counter in bulk, as well). If you can conceive a certain spice or seasoning, trust me that Solvang Spice Merchant has it! Even if you are not in the market for spices; the store is fun to browse and discover all of the spices from around the world. My personal spice journey has endlessly been looking for Garam Masala (an Indian spice) which I could have purchased at the Indian shop by my apartment in Los Angeles - but what fun is that?! It is much better to come across Garam Masala at Solvang Spice Merchant where the spices are combined by hand and with love while enjoying the world of spices! We purchased a 2.3 oz bottle (the smallest) of Garam Masala for $10.25 which isn't cheap: but expected from a boutique spice store. I have since used the spice mix on chicken, Steelhead trout and steamed veggies and it is absolute perfection and makes my apartment smell delightful with its warm spices. The only complaint? None of the two young females behind the counter welcomed us into the store, offered any samples (which I learned the store does indeed do), ask if we needed help, etc. Solvang's main gimmick is being a welcoming tourist city ESPECIALLY during Christmas as it is known as the, "Most Christmas-y City in the Nation". Unfortunately, that Hallmark Christmas movie customer service was absent the night of our visit. Despite this minor qualm; Solvang Spice Merchant is a charming spice shop fit for a King, emperor, sultan or just Averages Joes like you and I visiting Solvang. Not only will you find whatever spice your heart desires but you will have an enjoyable time simply scanning the shelves.
