Excellent fresh baked treats. We tried the Apple-Walnut Strudel and the Cheese Danish. Amazing!!!

Super friendly gal helped us out. All four of us enjoyed our various treats and we got cupcakes to go:) We'll be back while we're in town!

This place is heaven sent! I ordered a small naked cake for my sons birthday and dropped it as I made my way into my house. Devastated, I called the bakery with my fingers crossed and to my surprise they were able to make another cake within a few hours! Literally heaven sent!! The texture of the spongey cake along with the Bavarian cream and frosting was absolutely amazing! Will definitely be visiting again soon thank you so much Sue! read more

I'm updating my review because I hear there's a new owner and she's very nice! I'm sure that she will uphold the legacy that was built decades ago by the original owners of a friendly neighborhood bakery with great food! read more

We were so thrilled with how this cake came out. The Vintage Dude loved it. Red velvet with Bavarian vanilla cream

This place is great! They made the cutest smash cake for my baby girls 1st birthday and were happy to use a sugar alternative of my choice. I also live that they sell individual cupcakes! So yummy! read more

Cake is perfect, I didn't give much direction in terms of design but it was exactly what I was looking for; the Bavarian vanilla is nice if you want a less sweet filling. read more

Fresh and great tasting croissants, quiche and pastries. A frequent Saturday morning go-to. Prices are reasonable'

Susan was super easy and convenient to work with in choosing a birthday cake design. After discussing cake flavors and preferences, we landed on a white cake with a fresh strawberry and Bavarian cream filling. My goodness. The cake was decorated perfectly and beautifully. My kid was so excited to have such a special birthday cake. The cake itself was to die for delicious. It was moist and the filling and frosting was delicious as well. Susan also offered a very easy delivery service for our quarantined birthday celebration. My kid woke up the next day telling me that he loved his birthday cake. I would not hesitate to work with Susan again. read more

Went to Danish Bakery to grab a cake for Thanksgiving since I didn't have time to back. I opted to go here instead of going to the grocery store to support small business, and purchased a small 6" carrot cake. This was the worst carrot cake I've ever had. Frosting was buttercream, not cream cheese. Cake itself was very dry and crumbly, not moist at all like a carrot cake should be. The cake itself had next to no flavor. I spent $28 for this cake and ended up throwing most of it away since it was so bad. read more

Today I wanted to check out and see if there was a Danish bakery in Carlsbad and certainly there was I recognize some of the pastries as they were served in another café elyse down the road that I dined in earlier I ordered a cappuccino and they were only able to make it with whole milk what it was delivers more like a latte without any from the service lady behind the counter a nice Asian woman seem not to have a lot of skill I sipped some of the liquid which is almost brought me to the tip and would've likely spilled over in one's hand and then I asked her politely to see if I put in some form and make it a real cappuccino she tried but couldn't do it so I just slept a few sips and left it on the table at one of their outside seating places I sipped some of the liquid which is almost brought me to the tip and would've likely spilled over in one's hand and then I asked her politely to see if I put in some form and make it a real cappuccino she tried but couldn't do it so I just sipped a few sips and left it on the table at one of the outside seating places I don't think the cappuccino machine is calibrated nor is the server trained to use it I'd come back for the basked goods read more

On June 9th I wrote on Yelp with a photo for a cake request. I didn't hear back, so on the 12th I called the shop directly. I told them my request and time frame. I was told to submit online, which I did immediately. I still have yet to hear back from anyone or have a response to my request. I mentioned on the phone this was for a special occasion. In the past I had a couple cakes made by C'est la Vie and loved them, unfortunately this is not the case today. read more

What a sweet wonderful lady who provided a beautiful cake for my mom's 100th birthday. The cake was chocolate with raspberry filling. It was decorated with roses and fit for a queen. I highly recommend this bakery for all your occasions. read more

Susan (or you may be the disgruntled person at the counter that day, not sure...), After seeing your petty reply (which is very unfortunate), I decided to rehash and shed further light to additional details for the readers' reference. First of all, the 20% was not for you but for the other nice lady who attended me at the cash register - FYI, it would have been a 0% for you! Secondly, as you probably must have read my wife's detailed review, if you recall, you had quite a bit of an attitude when we asked for just a regular coffee in lieu of a latte. You said with a horrible attitude "I have to clean again the coffee machine because we close in 30 min". Need I say more on why I said "no" to your "disgruntled and disdained" offer to make us coffee??? There were no visible signs that said you clean and close the coffee machine WAY before store closing - approximately an hour before. It felt as if asking for coffee to accompany the nice pastries the store sells was a cardinal sin. Hopefully you don't blame the customer for this desire to have an afternoon cup of coffee... If you'd like the customer to conform to your whim, however, please post some notice/signage to inform that coffee machine is shut down an hour before closing and furthermore, regular coffee and latte are made from the same aforementioned machine. Also, you could have been nicer about directing us to another coffee shop than "look at your map!!", how terrible. read more

Service was awful... I arrived 40 minutes before closing and bought a muffin. When I asked for a latte, the lady on the counter told me that she just cleaned the coffee machine... I asked, can I have a regular coffee, and her reply was "I have to clean again the coffee machine because we close in 30 min". I'm thinking in my mind... wouldn't you be cleaning the coffee machine when the business is closed? Any how, I asked if she knew a coffee shop around that might be open since I'm not from Carlsbad. Her reply: "yes, there are... look you your map!" Wow, her response was priceless!!! How rude!!! read more

My husband bought a red velvet cake for Valentine's Day. It was delicious! Even had some strawberries in it. We are pretty new to the area, and he found this place on google. I'm sure glad we will go back to be sure. read more

Terrible pastry. Strange "grease" taste. Bought three different danish and took one bite of each. The young lady working the counter was very nice. read more

They made custom cupcakes for me for a baby gender reveal: vanilla cupcakes with pink Bavarian cream filling and blue/pink swirl buttercream frosting. They were beautiful AND delicious. I also bought a gluten-free chocolate cake. My gluten-free peeps raved about it! My husband picked up all the items and also bought lemon bars, red velvet cupcakes and some brownies. All were incredible! I highly recommend this bakery. read more

Wow, if you're looking for a really small, hole in the wall bakery, this is it. It's incredibly reasonably priced compared to the competition, and it's so much better!! Their croissants are to die for, so are the omelettes and all the other pastries. Go earlier in the day and they have so many options it's overwhelming (but in a good way). Seriously, can't recommend this place enough as you get GOOD baked goods at an incredible price. I've traveled all over Europe so I know pastries pretty well and these stack up, especially with how local this place is and how well priced all their stuff is. Highly recommend! read more

Incredible danish and brownies! Highly recommend! Line moves quickly and staff is pleasant. I wish they were on Door Dash. Clean and neat environment. read more

Best bakery we have ever been to! it will melt in your mouth seriously everything is fantastic we live out of town and we come here anytime we're nearby. Excellent bakery and great owner. The owner bakes everything from scratch fresh daily. So goooodddd read more

Great place for birthday cakes, have been ordering for the past 2 years and the flavors never fail to amaze us.

Bought the lemon bar and apple strudel. Lemon bar had no lemon taste. I told my friend to close his eyes and take a bite and he guessed he was eating something vanilla flavored. Odd. The strudel's flaky pastry was very good, but again, the filling had no taste; it could have used cinnamon and nutmeg. read more

The best bakery and cappuccino in town! We drove down to spend a day in Carlsbad. We stopped at the Danish Bakery for drink and a treat. It is hard to find a good cup of cappuccino, but this bakery figured it out, they serve the best cappuccino I have ever had. We also enjoyed their freshly baked cookies and pastries; it was super delicious. Susan and her team are very friendly, and we all had a good time. Thank you for making our day special. We highly recommend the Danish Bakery in Carlsbad! read more

I custom ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday. We live in another state, so had to go on past reviews. We ordered a spice cake, which is not on their regular menu. We also ordered special decoration. The cake did not disappoint. It was lovely and delicious with light frosting and a sumptuous pumpkin cream filling. The owner took personal care to make sure the order was correct and ready on time. I highly recommend Carlsbad Danish Bakery. read more

Wonderful bakery with great customer service! We got the kringle and it was sooooo good. A perfect treat for the holidays!

We went there today to get sweets! I got 3 van cupcakes with roses on them! The most beautiful cupcakes I have ever seen! And the taste I never had a better cupcake! Thank You SUE!

The custard cinnamon rolls are AMAZING. The strudel is another go to. We cannot wait to try everything. Great staff. Definitely try this place. AWESOME. read more

So delicious and you will not be disappointed. My first bite into a cheese danish blew my mind. Although the price for a danish is more than a doughnut, it is worth every single penny. I have brought some of their desserts to dinner parties and they were a big hit! read more

Good quality food and attentive service. Not busy on a Monday but I enjoyed the friendly service and my croissant.
