Overhyped place! We took couple of danish & pastries. Pistachios pastry was super hard & hardly had any flavor. Danish flavors were reasonable. Service- servers were rude. You have to ask for cutlery. There is no counter to pick it up yourself. They dont clean the table for you. +Point 1. Variety of options to chose from -Point 1. No calorie count for the items 2. Service is OK. read more

With a plethora of bakeries in Solvang, it's impossible to just pick one. But we did..and I think we made a great choice. Huge selection of baked items and breads..wanted to get everything but instead I chose the solvang cheese cake which was to die for. Perfect amount of fluffiness and cream. I would get that again and again. read more

The ambience is so cute and the service is wonderful! I really enjoyed the pastries as well.

Extremely varied selection of baked goods and chocolates. They have tables so you can eat pastries there. Always a crazy line when I go.

Loved this place. Very cute. Decorations and lots of choices. Did the French waffle, macaroons, and a sugary crispy treat. This place got packed but the line moved quickly. You should do it. read more

This is one of many bakeries in Solvang! I went here because I saw it come up on TikTok a lot haha. You walk in and see the massive assortment of goodies on your left; I was overwhelmed and ended up getting a chocolate croissant. I may have chosen the wrong thing because it was underwhelming and wasn't as flaky and warm as I would have liked. Tip: if you decide to eat your goodies inside they serve it on plates with cutlery! That service was great! read more

First time coming here. Got their Princess cake and it was tasty and flavorful. It was white cake with raspberry filling and cream and wrapped in marzipan frosting. Very airy and light tasting although heavy on the marzipan flavor. Cost was $6.95. Small indoor seating available. read more

Great place to grab a quick pastry, coffee or breakfast sandwich in the morning while exploring Solvang. They have a great selection of fruit and cheese Danish combos. I have never seen them together in one pastry. The Danish Mill has "THE" book with the Aebleskiver recipe from hundreds of years ago enshrined in glass near the back of the restaurant. So, because of that you know this place is good. Besides the pastries and bread, they also have a large selection of chocolates for sale and tubs of take & bake sugar cookies for souvenirs. Please note Aebleskiver will not be made before 11am. Sad face! Enjoy!!! read more

After trying several different bakeries in Solvang, Danish Mill clearly stood out as our favorite. Their pastries have a richness and fluffiness that the others just couldn't match. What impressed me most was the attention to detail in their flavors. Their custard has a hint of citrus that elevates it beyond the standard. The Danish Waffle hit that perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft interior, with sweet cream and raspberry that made it memorable. Don't miss their Kringle... each bite gives you a different experience as you taste the fruit, cheese, and almond elements. Their owl eyes cookies and chocolate-dipped clamshells are standouts too - soft with centers that literally melt in your mouth. While service can be busy at times, the quality of their baked goods makes it absolutely worth it. If you're in Solvang and want a great Danish pastry experience, this is the place to go. read more

Grabbed a quick cheese danish here and ever since then the only thing I've been thinking about are danishes. It was so good, freshly baked and nice and flakey. Plus the animated chefs baking in the front is so cute and iconic in Solvang! ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Service and coffee were great. Pastries left a bit to be desired. I thought they would warm them up a bit but they were a bit cold and hard. Still flavorful. My husband got a ham and cheese croissant and that was so delicious. Great ambience and friendly staff! read more

We stopped by Danish Mill Bakery while visiting Solvang and it was such a cute little spot. They have a huge variety of sweet treats to choose from, which made it hard to pick because everything looked so good. The bakery definitely gives off warm, welcoming vibes and feels like a classic Solvang stop. We enjoyed our treats and would definitely come back again when we're in the area. read more

They have such cute window props! Must take a video when passing by. The line was much longer for this bakery but then again, it's in the center of the plaza. Even though the line was long, it went by quickly. I decided to get a guava and cream cheese danish and a ham and cheese croissant. I do wish I got more than one ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was very flakey! It also had enough ham and cheese for every bite. As for the guava and cream cheese danish. You need to get this if you're a fan of guava! It complimented one another and tasted amazing. read more

Disappointed because the Danish wasn't fresh! The apricot bar was dried out and lacked flavor.

I don't understand the hype here to be honest. My friends and I tried two stores, and we were told Danish Mill Bakery is the best bakery in Solvang. Well, I was thoroughly disappointed. I had ordered the cream cheese, raspberry Danish, and a custard cream puff. I don't feel the pastries were flaky the way I was expecting, and in fact, the pastries were flat and stale in a way. The cream was too sweet, so it didn't balance the flavors for me. I am quite a snob when it comes to pastries/baked goods, and this unfortunately did not hit the spot. Customer service was mediocre. Unfortunately, I can't see myself coming back if I am ever in the area again. read more

This very is a good one. We like to try different ones every time we come. Great butter cookies. read more

They had a line but moves pretty fast. I picked a variety of things and I was not disappointed. Everything was so good and fresh tasting. I can't describe the flavor other than delicious and melts in your mouth. I do wish I would have gotten more of their cookies. Next time I will read more

From French macaron, coconut macaroons, and other pastries that we got, everything tasted delicious and freshly baked. I enjoyed seeing the animatronics in the front. I think it may scare some toddlers, but as grown-ups, we appreciate seeing something different like this. The service was patient as patrons tried to get everything they wanted in line. There were several tables inside to enjoy your pastry there. read more

Past by this place because it was opened, Bland coffee, very watery and high prices, mediocre bakery

Nice little bakery, but now that we've tried several other bakeries in Santa Barbara, I would rank their pastries as good, but not as flaky and flavorful as some others. read more

Good clean place. You can't go wrong by coming to this place. The pastries were wonderful and reasonably priced. One place was double the price and the other was a little more but gave smaller portions. Highly recommend. read more

This bakery is so cozy! I loved everything I ordered. Got the danish, cookie, and French waffle. Best French waffle I ever had! They have good amount of tables inside. You're sitting close to the table next to you sharing a bench. The line was long but workers were fast. I would definitely come here again. I really like the animatronics in the display. read more

Of all the bakeries we tried in our last 2 visits this bakery had the best danishes and coffee. This last week I also tried this massive cream puff and it was delicious! Super light, creamy and flaky. Buy the cookie buckets! They're worth it. They also have treats made in house for your dog which was a plus! read more

I've tried a lot of bakeries at Solvang, this is by far my favorite! Great coffee, delicious pastries, great service. The seating is also great. I will definitely be returning here only when I return to Solvang! Also want to note the pastries are super fresh! read more

We were lured in by the fake baker dolls (dolls? Mannequins?) in the front because it was kind of cute. We ordered a hot dog, ham and cheese croissant, and the Aebleskiver. Hot dog: strong sesame seed flavor and soft bread. Nothing too special though. Ham and cheese crossant: Had lots of flavor. Very cheesy-reminded us of the cheese on nachos. Aebleskiver: Soggy bread with strawberry jam. Not really for us. They had a good amount of seating inside if you want to sit and enjoy the bakery. read more

Nice bakrey on the Solvang Mission Drive. The highlight are the show window props and the prop of the founder baker, at the entrance. The place seems to be always running busy. So be prepared to be in a long queue at any point of time. There is a huge variety of cookies and Danish. Breads loafs also are available. We ordered Marzipans, Apricot Danish and Cheese-Jalapeño Bread. Everything tasted well and fresh. Marzipans are exceptional. Must try the place next time you are in Solvang. read more

Very nice place great decorations, I loved Marzipan Cooky it was very soft and tasty. Coffee is ok. Cheese bread could be better.

The BEST danish cookies and pastries in town my #1 recommendation is the French Waffle. The staff is so nice and patient considering how many people visit this location. Don't let the "stars" fool you I have tried all the local danish bakeries in Solving and this one is by far the best. read more

I can only review the coffee, I had an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, hands down one of the best I have had in my life.

Stopped by Solvang. Cute Scandinavian town. Tried the German chocolate cake at the Danish Mill Bakery- very good.

Pros: location. super clean inside. Cons: The coffee was terrible. Really really bad. We ordered the same iced mocha and they're different, equally horrible. Watery and you can't feel the grounds. The quality of the butter cookie wasn't great. My sisters and I ordered to go so our stuff that we didn't finish would already be packaged to go and walk the rest of the street. This bakery has a seating area, that was completely empty. We asked if we could sit there and she said "well you said to go, atleast she did" and looked at me. Such a poorly way to handle paying customers. So we are eating our $44 worth of pastries outside on a bench in the wind. Honestly incredibly annoyed that I added a tip to my purchases before we had asked if we could eat in their seated area that was empty. read more

Danish Mill Bakery has the best selection of authentic Wienerbrød, or Viennese bread in English! Yes, you heard that right. The famous danishes we know and love today were introduced by Austrian immigrants living in Denmark in the 19th century. So if you're ever in Denmark looking for danishes, ask for Wienerbrød or Viennese bread. This bakery by far has the most authentic Danish pastry selection within a 2-block radius. With each bite, I'm instantly transported back to my summer study abroad in Copenhagen. I got the Kringle slice (a Kringle is basically a Danish cake), flødeboller (marshmallow and cookie coved in chocolate), Kransekage (marzipan pastry), Honninghjerter (honey cake cookie), and a bucket of danish cookies. Buy these if you want something you'll actually find in Danish pastry shops. Kringles are also best for special occasions like birthdays and Christmas. I also love their modern Danish flavors like guava--a nod to the Cuban guava pasteles. They also have blueberry, strawberry, and other fruit options, which is not really Danish, but still a delicious American interpretation. Pro-tip: Make sure to order a cappuccino or tea with your pastry. Drip coffee is good, too, but not authentic! read more

On a quest for my mother in law to find the best rum ball. We ordered a rum ball, little apricot cookie, and the recommended almond marzipan The cookie was my favorite so far today so fresh and soft way better than Mortenson's. Highly recommend getting these simple little cookies to bring home! The rum ball here was softer and fresher than Mortenson but didn't taste the rum. The marzipan slice (photographed), was ok but did nothing for me. UPDATE End of the trip a solid second place out of 6 bakery stops!! read more

This trip to Solvang, I decided to compare the bakeries that were open which were Olsen's, Danish Mill, and Solvang Bakery. Olsen's is the most popular, but also the priciest generally. Butter Cookie: $3 - I was craving just a simple, soft, buttery cookie and this one was exactly what I was looking for. There's one with sprinkles (I hate sprinkles) and one without. Owl Eye: $3 - I got the apricot one. It's a hard cookie on the bottom, with marzipan 'filling' surrounding the jam. It was fine, but I wouldn't get again. read more

Everything looks so good and yummy that I want a taste of each pastry and dessert....hahaha. We went for breakfast at 9AM We definitely bought a lot: Danish continental breakfast (milk, orange juice, a roll with havarti cheese, a strawberry and cheese Danish), a cinnamon bun, an apple fritter, a ham and cheese roll, a piece of princess cake, and a Danish Kringle. My favorite is definitely the Danish Kringle. Outside is flaky, slightly crispy, and top with almond. Inside is soft and moist with filling. There is a hint of sea salt. The pastry is shaped into a big pretzel. Heavenly yummy!!! read more

Busy place the day we visited. The line was a little long but honestly worth the wait. We picked many delicacies from their showcases and I must admit to being happy this place is not close to home, the pastries and chocolate dipped items were amazing. Next time in Solvang you might just drop in for a special treat. Easily recommended! read more

Very cute place with a great selection. The Solvang vibe is alive and well here which makes it a very fun stop.
