I spent hours looking at options for a birthday cake - I wanted something a step up from a grocery…read morestore but not so fancy that I'd break the bank. I found out about The Danish Pastry House on Reddit, and one look at their website immediately sold me. I ordered a 6-inch Prinsesstårta (princess cake) for pickup. I mistakenly got their Saturday hours wrong, but when I called, someone agreed to wait for me 30 minutes past close - incredible service, as far as I'm concerned. The cake was gorgeous and so delicious! The marzipan went so well with the layers of moist cake, Bavarian cream, and raspberry jam. Truly a one-of-a-kind choice for a birthday cake that did not disappoint. I can't believe I have to wait a whole year for my birthday to come back around! Or maybe I'll just make an excuse to order another unbeatable cake from here.

I know they re concentration is on large order but maybe a bell to ring for service? I asked for cupcakes and said would put them together in 10 mins. I ordered and placed in a 6 container with only 2 in them and 4 empty. Wanted to walk out but already paid $8 for 2 cupcakes about the size of a half dollar. Too small to put Happy Birthday on them. I know its gluten free concentration so very happy to not be returning.

Plus they were patiently waiting for us to be ready to order. They also had a self service kiosk to order as an option. The bakery was also very well lit and had a comfy, welcoming vibe! It was colorful and felt lively! We ordered a burrito and sandwich which took about 10 minutes. They were both delicious and we were full for sure afterwards!! Prices are a bit high, but honestly, the quality was worth the money. Definitely check it out sometime as a good breakfast/brunch option!

fancy 5/5 came here…read moreafter hearing all the hype about their breakfast sandwiches. I tried the fancy - it was so good. The avocado, red onion, jammy egg and bacon with the crunchy, toasted bread really hit the spot. The place itself really is more of a takeout spot. They have ~5 bar seats at the window if you want to quick eat there, but not really a place to meet up with people to eat. I would say it's pretty pricey for the amount of food you get. The fancy was ~$12.5 not including tax and tip for a breakfast sandwich that literally is the size of a sandwich. I would recommend if you're willing to spend that much on a good breakfast sandwich. Next time, I plan to try the Breakfast Grilled Crack sandwich.

I don't find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to "home"). The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand. Can't wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

There are many similar stores in the neighborhood, but Sevan's service and kindness was exemplary. We highly recommend this location.

There is a good amount of seating in the store and free water for customers to fill themselves which I always love. The Bacon Egg and Cheese was a wise decision and priced very very well, I would definitely recommend that! My favorite sweet was the strawberry tea cake, top class that was. The donut and banana bread were also very tasty but I didn't get to eat enough of them to feel as strongly about them as I do the strawberry tea cake. I think it's assume you can't go wrong with anything you can purchase from Butternut Bakehouse,... Enjoy! The ambiance was full of energy with friendly staff and happy customers.

It was nice to have a more home-made version of the classic Starbucks bites and enjoy a coffee that was well balanced. On a weekend youll find an array of people from families to groups of friends, but I never saw people waiting long for seats. Adding to the neighborhood feel is their bulletin board of local ads and promotions which really adds to the community feeling of this place. The service was friendly despite being busy and moved very quickly. I would definitely come back here.

When you first walk in, it's a bit quiet and you have to wait for someone to come from the back to greet you, but be patient because once you're seated, service is attentive and available whenever you need it. There are lots of rustic-looking tables, which give it a sort of homey feel, and some tables can fit 12+, so they can definitely accommodate large groups. My colleagues always get something different, but I get the same thing every time: the grilled boneless pork shoulder and it is so good. The pork shoulder is a bit fatty and comes out juicy and flavorful from the grill - droolworthy. It comes with sauerkraut, but it's not your typical sauerkraut; it's more like a mild slaw with just enough acid to cut through the fatty pork. Also comes with your choice of side and sauce. The garlic toom is the only option in my opinion (of course, they have others), but get ready to have kickin' breath for the rest of the day. Others have gotten the lamb tongue, lentil soup, falafel, beef shawarma, borscht, pelmeni, eggplant rolls, and they have all been hits. Don't think I would ever come out of my way to this restaurant if I didn't know about it, but it's totally worth the trip!
