Main destination for our trip to kick off the holiday season. This bakery had so much variety, even towards closing time and we got everything we came for. The Danish Cinnamon Crispies are addicting and were good even on the second day. The rum balls were also surprisingly mild which is great because lots of bakeries can over do it. The rice crispy treats were great too, definitely something you need to share. One thing I really appreciated was nothing was unnecessarily sweet, I could even taste the salt in the chocolate chip cookies which I love. The staff took their time with each customer, even after a long day in the middle of the holiday rush. Overall friendly and offered a great experience as a customer. And of course, this delivered on the Solvang vibe, hits exactly how you want it to. We waited about 30-45 minutes and the only drawback is that there isn't really a good setup to handle as many customers as there were when we went. Anything good in this area during the holiday season will require a wait, just not a big runway to handle the line with a smaller shop like this one. Can't wait to come back next year! read more

Another amazing stop in Solvang! My fiancée and I made this cozy, welcoming bakery our final stop, and it was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. The variety of treats, from danishes to lemon squares and cookies, was almost overwhelming in the best way--it satisfied every bit of our sweet tooth cravings. Naturally, we indulged, and every bite was worth it. Not only were the baked goods fantastic, but the service was just as impressive. The staff was warm and friendly, making the experience even better. Plus, this bakery is another dog-friendly gem in Solvang, welcoming our pup, Skye the dachshund, with open arms. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to stock up on more of their delicious danishes and cookies. A special shout-out to the gingerbread cookies, which were absolutely delightful! Highly recommend this bakery for its amazing sweets, service, and overall charm. read more

Was driving by this beautiful Danish town in early morning. Saw this bakery open so got to check it out. Very cute and festive decor and plenty of sweet treats and baked goods that just too good to pass up. They do have coffee and other drinks. Staff here are very nice, helpful and friendly. Got several goodies for road snack and the HUGE sweet pretzel too, $25 - not bad at all, and it's very yummy, soft and not too sweet. Loving it. read more

Loved looking around, the workers were super friendly. Unfortunately the cookie I got wasn't very good. read more

They have many options to choose from of bakery items. We got their blueberry danish, cheese danish, and cream puff. All were exceptional and delicious. Their service the staff provided was quick and helpful. The inside was very open but didn't have many seating options, but the bakery is near the park where there are benches to sit and eat at. read more

Best jalapeño bread in solvang. I always make sure to never leave solvang without this bread. The store can be busy on weekends but weekdays is almost empty. The store is next to the main windmill and the store is nice and cozy so it feels like a small danish store. read more

I'm a little disappointed this is and has been my favorite bakery. We always pick up goodies to take back home to family & friends. I purchased some napoleon hat cookies as they're my favorite. I was eating one just a few mins ago and to my surprise when I was just about finished there was a hair pretty much buried in the pastry... so bummed to even be posting this review!!!! read more

Amazing service and great pastry. Was a recommendation from a local. We had pieces of the almond butter ring and it was good and very sweet. But the staff was sweeter. read more

I tried the almond butter ring which is their signature. Luckily they sell slices, which are still quite large. The pastry was excellent and crispy + flaky. The almond paste and icing on top is sweet, so I liked the bites that had smaller amounts of that. The custard was really good and not too heavy. Definitely an excellent almond butter ring and a reasonable price! read more

The exterior is cute. Fits the rest of the atmosphere in Solvang perfectly. The tables and chairs outside are cute and perfect for sitting on when the weather is nice. I got a marzipan from here. I've heard of marzipan, but never got the opportunity to try it before. I enjoyed the novelty, but I can see why marzipan is often used for decorative purposes. read more

From all the Kringles and butter cookies I've tried this bakery is my favorite. The Kringle was soft with plenty of custard and almond filling! I loved that the dough was soft and not to crumbly. The butter cookies that were plain were also great. The ones with almond tasted a bit stale. Would definitely come back. Kringle was On the pricier side but great for sharing. read more

This little bakery is my favorite in Solvang where bakeries are plentiful to showcase the Danish specialities. It's a smaller bakery that doesn't have overflowing mountains of pastries , quality over quantity is the vibe here. It is towards the back end of Solvang, which is about an 8 minute walk from when you enter the town. They have about 4-5 different options for gluten free pastries, the almond horn with a nice, chewy consistency being my favorite and the chocolate covered Sarah being my husband's. The coffee here was also our favorite in town. It is not bitter or too acidic. We had lattes that we ordered extra hot. The girls here are kind, and attentive. This bakery has a very sweet and pleasant ambiance with pink tables and cute souvenirs for any occasion. Worth the quick walk to avoid the overcrowded bakeries toward the beginning of town. Definitely recommend if you're in town! read more

I got my birthday cake here and it was amazing! My husband ordered 72hr ahead to place an order and it was right on time, baked freshly. Black Forrest cake comes with whipped cream and cherries. Cake was moist and delicious, whipped cream light and fluffy, and all the cherries and gold dusts! I'd recommend to order cakes here for any celebration to make it very special. read more

Stop by Solvang on the way to Santa Barbara and there are so many cute shops. This was one of them. Super cute. I wanted to try everything but was so full but will be back to try everything else. Outdoor seating with pink tables. The cakes look so good. Staff were friendly. It was really busy but I ordered a raspberry Danish and 1 rum ball. Both were ok but rum ball is definitely shareable. It's too rich to eat an entire one. read more

There are so many good things at all the bakeries in Solvang it's hard to claim "the best" but this is another bakery that is a must visit for us during a Solvang visit. These guys know gingerbread. If you ever want an amazing gingerbread display come here or order online. It WILL be the best one you ever purchased. After coming here a few years ago, I did order one for my kiddo to decorate for Valentine's Day. They have gingerbread all year long for every occasion! It was so much fun to decorate and they supply all the fixings shipped perfectly to my home! As a brick and mortar store, they not only have gingerbread houses to purchase at the store but tons of other cute holiday items and not to mention, the full on bakery of breads, cookies and pastries. They do it all and super cute-ly! (Is that a word?!) lol Love their gingerbread! read more

Dec 2024. We wanted to try this bakery as it's highly rated and I think it's the one I would go back to again. However it's small. We had a vanilla latte and a chai tea. And the drinks were great. They have 2 sizes. Small and large. We got a lot of items. Gingerbread cookie, sugar cookie, lemon bar, cream puff, cheese danish, and bear claw. Cheese danish needs more cheese The lemon bar was large but crust too thick and not enough lemon flavor. Bland. I threw it out. We loved this bakery and it's not touristy like the others in town with their huge long lines to order. read more

Such a cute shop and service was so friendly and helpful. I got way too much but of course had to get the gingerbread man and my favorites were the Danish waffle so light and airy with the perfect amount of sweetness. The chocolate croissant had a lot of chocolate which is rare so it was well received. Also got a cute ornament and tons of other cookies. read more

We stopped in Solvang while visiting SB and everything we bought from this bakery was 10/10. The staff is also so friendly and helpful as we were so indecisive. Our favorites were the Strawberry & Cheese Danish and the Honey Bran Muffin. We enjoyed our pastries outside and on the patio. read more

This was my first time visiting Solvang and I didn't know what to expect. Deserts galore!!! There were so many cute little shops, there is an abundant amount of parking spaces so don't be afraid to park and walk to this cute little shop. When you first walk in there's a gift shop area with a variety of little trinkets to buy. The back of the store is where the bakery is and boy was I not prepared for it! There was a line that moved quickly, the workers were patient and friendly, they were happy to answer any questions I had about the pastries. We ordered cream puffs, raspberry owl eyes, chocolate dipped almond horn, and lemon bars. They boxed everything up neatly and organized which was well appreciated for a 3 hour drive home. I "taste tested" one of everything we ordered and everything was a 10/10. Moist with the perfect amount of sugar. I'm still dreaming about the lemon bars and chocolate covered almond horns. read more

Great treats. Took home buckets of butter cookies for friends and family! Great experience.

We wanted to try this place out based on the good reviews they had. Sadly I was displeased with the service. The girls working the counter did not greet us nor did they ask if we needed help. read more

A day in Solvang requires a definite stop to The Solvang Bakery. Everything is wonderful here and you will know it's the spot once you see the crowds of people but the lines move quickly. No other bakery had the amount of people as they did. Food, all excellent. Ambiance is casual walk up counter with a good selection of retail items which are cute and unique. A must stop when in Solvang. read more

Super cute bakery! There were so many baked good options to choose from. On top of that, they also sell home items that you could purchase. Everything in there looked like it was made with a lot of care. We wanted to try a few things that we had never seen before so we got some of the Linzer cookies. They were super good and reminded me of like one of those jam thumbprint cookies. They also had dog biscuits so we picked up some of those as well! The workers there were really friendly and nice. read more

Good Danishes. You order at the counter then find a table. It would have been better if they heated them, but they were good with coffee. The staff person we dealt with was no-nonsense but polite and prompt with our order. read more

Very cute outdoor seating area, adorable mugs and things to buy, and delicious sweets! Free coffee with a mug purchase (i got an iced hazelnut latte) and the coconut bavarian cream cake was heavenly. read more

Cute little pink bakery that was probably my favorite of all of the 4 we walked in through. They had so many great baked pastries and breads available. The line was long and went out the back door to the patio but it was worth it. I got a Lacey with dark chocolate for bout $4.25. Just wish they had labels on ALL of the items in pastry display cases. They had a few labels but many more not labeled. I had to snap photos of what I wanted to order to show the clerk. read more

Came here today and it was amazing. The ambiance was serene and the space was cozy. The customer service was great and everyone was so kind. Tried a chocolate chip cookie and a slice of red velvet cake. Amazing and delicious with every bite. The gingerbread houses are amazing. Wish I would have ordered one. Maybe next year. read more

I instantly fell in love with this bakery! The beautiful decor, sweet staff members, and delicious treats stole my heart. The rear garden is such a beautiful place to sit and enjoy your goodies. I ordered a vanilla chai latte with oat milk along with an assortment of treats. I loved the almond rolls, the lemon bar, and the strawberry cheese danish. The bakery is small and does get a little bit crowded, but it's worth the wait! I ordered 5 bakery items along with a large latte which totaled to $29. Not bad for the great quality goods! I definitely will be returning here! read more

I took myself and my friend on a mini walking treat tour throughout this town. Our second to the last stop was at The Solvang Bakery. We shared a napoleons hat cookie, which was stuffed with marzipan and coated in dark chocolate. I wish I bought a few more to take home! It was not too sweet and the cookie itself was soft with a little bit of chew to it. I also purchased a loaf of cheddar jalapeño bread to take home. I've enjoyed a slice nearly every day - roasted with butter or with an egg on top. This savory purchase was well worth it too - because the loaf was so large, I shared it with two other people and here we are a few days later, each still enjoying pieces of it! read more

We almost missed this bakery because the name is different than the sign posted out front (the actual name is on the roof). We specifically went looking for this bakery after my friend recommended it. We were pleasantly surprised! We bought a couple of pastries and every single pastry was wonderful! We had made a stop at another bakery the day before, it was not very good so we were leery of buying too much and not liking the pastries but after we tried these, we regretted not getting more. The pastries are fresh, soft and delicious! This is a "must stop" destination when in the area. I highly recommend it! read more

Just get the bucket of the butter cookies. We walked around with this bucket because we were on our way to dinner, and have gotten comments 2 times that these were the best cookies. We ended up finally cracking open the bucket late at night and we were not disappointed! Additionally, this bakery offers a variety of other delectable treats; don't hesitate to seek recommendations from the staff. read more

Came here on a Tuesday before my friend and I were leaving Solvang, they have lots of little souvenirs and knick knacks to check out and buy, they even had little homemade dog treats that I could take home for my dogs! They had a couple of gluten free options, the almond horn as well as the kransekage, not too sure if that's the actual name but both were very tasty. The interior was very fun, very playful and pink and the staff working were just as sweet as the cookies they serve, the person who helped checked me out was very professional and energetic and helped give a positive vibe in the bakery. read more

This was the first bakery we tried and it was delicious. We got a cream puff and half a Kringle. The Kringle we ate over a week in small batches and was so good. The cream puff is not my favorite but my husband loved it- just too much whipped cream for me. Over all great experience. read more

Went in, it was busy. I was waiting for my pastries to be given to me by the cashier. As she was grabbing them a separate worker, brown hair, freckles, tall, younger worker told me to "move so I can ring her up" I was caught off guard because I was waiting for my pastries and waiting to order more items I forgot about. I hesitated and she gestured for me to move. I said "I want to buy another item, it's rude to just ask someone to move, especially at your job." she put the pastry on the counter and rung us up and walked away. Very rude. read more

A lot of these bakeries seem to sell the same items, and NGL, I feel like they're mass produced somewhere else because they're so uniform in appearance to one another. Solvang Bakery is the exception because they have so much more - cakes (whole or slice), cheesecakes, savory breads,etc. The shop is super cute and pink, and everything packaged is branded to their bakery, so its aesthetic. The inside can get pretty cramped quickly, but they do have a few tables and chairs for outdoor seating. TBH the cashier helping me was not friendly at all and her responses were pretty rude when I had questions about what type of items were in the cases. Some items weren't labeled so I felt it was a reasonable ask. For example, I asked "What types of cakes are on the last shelf, there on the side?" Her response - "IDK what you're pointing at but I'm gonna assume it's cheesecake since we usually keep cheesecake there." Um.. okay... well what flavors are they because there were like 5 different ones? She ended up having to go check and see anyways to tell me what flavors they were so not sure why this was such a hassle for her.. mind you the case was an arm's length away from her, she just didn't want to move from the cash register to make it more visible. Such an odd interaction but I didn't let that ruin my day! If anything, it made me ask MORE questions, cause I'm not the one lololol Anyhow I was able to get my Kringle slice, and the boo got his jalapeno cheese bread. I like sweet, he like savory, so I was happy we both got a little something to try. His cheese bread was to take home, so not sure how that was but my Kringle was delish! I got an almond one, not sure if there were other flavors. A lot of the bakeries sell whole Kringles only, and they're huge, so I was pleased that I could just get a slice to go! Something similar to an almond croissant, but a little less flaky and the filling more dense. I was gonna give the shop a lower rating initially just because of my experience with the unpleasant cashier, however I think the shop really does deserve a higher store for its selection and quality of goods. read more
