They have every kind of Scandinavian product imaginable, including food, candies, and decorations. The people were very nice and it had a great ambiance. It's a little far from me, but well worth the trip. Highly recommend for everyone, not just Scandinavians! read more

This establishment still rates 5 stars. Where else can you find lingonberry jam to go with your Christmas Swedish meatballs? The Kalles creamed row for your eggs? I know you're thinking 'what about Ikea?' but they don't have homemade bread, crawfish, sausage and crayfish (plus a terrific selection of candy). Excuse me while I have some creamed herring with my Nordic noir Netflick show and Finn Crisps. Note - they are extremely careful about safety, and ask you to buzz in and also offer disposable gloves. read more

The amount of stuff from Europe that you just can't find anywhere else around this area. There fresh pulla or cardamon bread is to die for! Great around the Christmas season with all the amazing ornaments and foods!! read more

If you are looking for anything Scandinavian not just food, but drinks and authentic items please check them out. Their staff is super friendly and very outgoing read more

If you appreciate Nordic design you will love this unique shop. Nice layout. Friendly staff. Limited home decor. Seasonal decorating. Unique gifts. A rotating selection of imports so if you like it, buy it bcz it will most certainly be gone! The kitchen section offers gadgets, teapots, cutlery, dishes etc. In the rear of the store there is culinary retail such as jams and a frozen section for perishables. And the kitchen cooks & bakes familiar Scandinavian specialties as well as beverages. Minuscule tough parking. read more

Having been customers for many years, it pains me to write this review, but the way they've treated us after our most recent order left a bad taste in my mouth. After waiting nearly a week without traction of any kind and writing in for an update, we were subjected first to an impersonal, unhelpful canned response, and then further rudeness from their staff in subsequent emails. As we came to find out, the reason for the delay was not the holiday that they initially blamed (1 day out of an entire week) nor being short staffed, but instead because they did not actually have one item in stock (red cabbage) out of our entire order. Rather than inform the customer, they opted to leave us in a vacuum, content with having taken their money and not shipped out anything. On top of that, they had the unmitigated gall to respond to our inquiry and complaint by telling us they'd "let our belittling slide this time" because we were repeat customers. Apparently they are arrogant enough to think they are the only game in town and we should be fortunate that they did business with us. Seriously?! We have spent literally thousands of dollars with these people, repeatedly placing large orders, multiple times a year, for several years now (especially for the holidays). A cursory glance at our order history shows that just in the last 12 months, we've put in orders for over $950 across 9 separate orders. We've also referred colleagues, friends and even my wife's hairdresser to their on-line store, trying to give them more business and help them to thrive in this pandemic. And now, when there's an issue with one and only one order, after all this time, *this* is how they treat us? Unbelievable. All they had to do was apologize for the delay, explain that it was because of the red cabbage and offer to cancel that part of the order so the rest could ship out. Had they simply done that, we'd have happily remained loyal, long time, high spending, repeat customers. Instead, they displayed nothing but callousness and arrogance towards repeat customers who rightfully called them out after first patiently waiting a week with zero communication and then receiving their unhelpful canned response. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and far more patience than they were entitled to, considering they took our money and immediately ghosted us for a full week. I think they must be confused, because we're customers paying for goods and services, not a bank offering short term loans. The worst part of all this is that they still have not uttered a single word of apology, or shown even a modicum of empathy for their customer. They should be utterly embarrassed for the way they handled this situation, and needlessly insulting their customers. Hasn't anyone ever told these people that you should always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind? I've asked them for an apology for the way that 'Marianne' treated us, but I don't expect to get one. I'm happy to update this review if and when I hear from them, and I'd really like to remain a customer, but the ball is in their court now. UPDATE: We did receive a phone call from Marianne, but the first words out of her mouth were that she "did not believe we would be getting an apology from her." After that, she proceeded to launch right back into the adversarial, argumentative, hyper-defensive nonsense. For someone who complains about how she has no time to respond to a customer's email, she certainly had plenty of time to call us and prove how petty and profoundly arrogant she is. We finally just hung up on her in the middle of her psychotic ranting about how rude we were to have expected an apology. Stay FAR away from this place, especially for online orders. Customer service is disgraceful and the owner, Marianne, is unbelievably rude and condescending, even to long time, repeat, high spending customers. Your loyalty and patronage will never mean anything to this business. read more

Scandinavian Butik - This is how Marianne talks to customers about shipping delays. Unbelievable rudeness. Also lying, we ordered 2 days before Thanksgiving. - Imported Food Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Great selection of products from the old country, and even better customer service. We have been customers for many years, and depend on SB for our traditional holidays. I don't know what we would do without this place, keep up the good work! read more

A total and complete gem of a store!! Not only do they have great Scandinavian housewares and decor, all the grocery staples and sweets one needs and craves but they also import fresh flash frozen Flæskesteg from Denmark too! They also offer housecured herring as well. From Jan 14th - about early Dec, they also have a cafe offering great delicious Scandinavian treats! Cannot wait to visit when the Cafe is open again. read more

det beste av Skandinavia i Amerika, veldig glad for å ha en butikk som denne i mitt område

My guess is that you've passed this spot a hundred times. I had, but the other day I actually stopped in. Wide eyed and smiling, I wandered around the small space taking in the assortment of basic home goods (bright mugs to beautiful wooden serving boards), imported delights (candy to cheese) and charming children's toys (wood and soft linen). I will certainly be back to have lunch! Yes, and to buy a few more things as well. Shops like this are becoming so rare and I truly appreciated both the selection of items and the kind confidence of the staff, who obviously know that they work at a special little gem. read more

They will send you chocolate that breaks but ONLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T PACK IT WELL -- if they did, they could avoid this problem. And they won't refund your money, because they say on the website "it might break" -- well of course it will break if you don't pack it well! Thanks a lot, that's almost $16 down the drain. read more

Horrible on-line shopping experience, and worst customer service ever! We ordered two large Flæskestege from Scandinavian Butik for our Christmas Eve dinner. Flæskestege are pork loins with the skin on, the centerpiece of a traditional Danish Christmas Eve meal. They should have a fat layer on top of a mostly lean piece of meat, making them about 25% fat and 75% meat. Scandinavian Butik's Web site advertised each Flæskesteg as weighing 5 to 6 pounds. What we received instead were two Ribbenstege. These are pork bellies with the skin on, much smaller than the Flæskestege we ordered (the Ribbenstege weighed 3.1 and 3.4 pounds), mostly fat with little meat (around 75% fat, as one would expect from a pork belly), and a very poor substitute for the traditional Flæskesteg. Our family has been eating Flæskesteg for Christmas Eve dinner for generations, and we are a family of cooks, chefs, and caterers. We are well aware of the differences between these two cuts of pork. Needless to say, we wrote to Scandinavian Butik requesting a refund for their mistake. Their response was nasty, petty, and argumentative. It was obvious from the first sentence that they had no intention of taking our experience seriously. We replied to their e-mail, but our first impression proved 100% correct -- after nearly four weeks, we've received no further response from them. We are upset and disappointed, first by a ruined Christmas Eve dinner and then by Scandinavian Butik's utter lack of concern for their customers. They have our money, and that seems to be all they care about. read more

Total hidden gem. It's a good place we stock up our Scandinavian goodies. Hot dogs and meat balls!!! People are so nice and relax. Enjoy shopping for little taste of Denmark there. read more

This place is amazing. I recently got married in Westport, and being the son of a Norwegian immigrant, we wanted a Kransekake as a wedding cake. Given the complexity of making and transporting this cake, we were a bit nervous about how this would work out, but the staff at Scandinavian Butik put our minds at ease. The cake was ready when it needed to be, already assembled, beautiful, and (most importantly) delicious, and it really helped us bring a Norwegian element to our wedding. Thank you for adding a really special flavor to a really special day for us, we'll be back soon for treats that we don't have to share with 100+ people! read more

The cutest place I have ever been good. Great Scandinavian food selection, cute gifts, and home furnishings. Looking forward to my return.

Terrible customer service! If you are not satisfied with your order, be aware- it will be your problem. Scandinavian Butik have no remorse and very bold will let you know it's not their problem. If I could give minus 1 star I would. Never will I spend my money at Scandinavian Butik again and not my friends either. read more

A delightful place to visit. It's almost like taking a mini-vacation to another part of the world. Absolutely top-notch service too.

Great cafe with beautiful Scandinavian sandwiches and awesome coffee. Cozy atmosphere, fresh baked bread and bakery items to go. read more

Scandinavian Butik - a plate with a sandwich and cucumbers - Imported Food Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Amazing customer service! Made my mother in law very happy, many thanks!

I am very impressed with Scandinavian Butik. Both their selection of goods and delivery service are excellent. Just before Easter I ordered some Danish candies. I ordered them on a Sunday evening. By Wednesday noon I had the order. Wow. I was so surprised. I paid for regular delivery and still my order arrived in San Diego from the Connecticut within 2 days. In the package there was a note from Doris saying that she had switched my delivery service which saved me both money and time. What services! Having had such great luck, I quickly called Scandinavian Butik and spoke to Doris about the chances of getting another order in the mail for a party that Saturday. Mind you this is Wednesday and the "Butik"/store is located 3 hours ahead of California time. But Doris went the extra mile and went to the post office that same afternoon and got my shipment in the mail. I received my order on Friday. That Saturday, there were a lot of happy Danes enjoying marzipan eggs and other Easter goodies. Thank you Doris! read more
