I was in town working an event and had some extra time to explore the Danish village. Since the…read morearea is known for its Danish bakeries, I couldn't leave without bringing home some cookies. I still remember buying butter cookies at the Copenhagen airport, and I've been craving that same style ever since, especially because there aren't many places near me in my area that sell them freshly made. I randomly came across Danish Village Bakery and found a tub of assorted cookies for around $20. The lady working inside helped me right away and answered my questions about which items were the most popular and whether the cookies were freshly made. She was friendly and made the visit quick and easy. You can buy Danish cookies at regular grocery stores, but these tasted completely different. They were softer, fresher, and had that rich, buttery flavor that packaged cookies are usually missing. They were even better than the airport cookies I remembered! The bakery itself had a cute, homey, old-fashioned atmosphere, and there was plenty of free parking nearby. I'm really glad I stopped in because the cookies ended up being one of my favorite treats from the trip. I would definitely return for another tub the next time I'm in town.

BONJOUR, DARLINGS!…read more It is I, Mozzarella! International pink poodle, professional service dog, and apparently an UNWELCOME GUEST! Mama and I visited Olsen's Danish Village Bakery in Solvang, where a woman behind the counter rudely told us to LEAVE! MON DIEU! Darling, I'm a TRAINED SERVICE DOG, not a raccoon attempting to rob your pastry counter! I wasn't there to sample the Danish. I WAS WORKING! Thankfully, every other establishment we visited in Solvang welcomed us with kindness and hospitality. As for Olsen's, the pastries looked tired, the selection was disappointing, and the customer service desperately needed obedience training. ONE STAR. I'd give zero paws, but Yelp insists. BISOUS!

Not only is the Solvang Bakery so yummy and pretty it is also situated in a very cute location too. The Solvang Bakery was a top choice for me given all the bakeries here in Solvang not only for the quality, but the price points. Staff is so sweet too! Jasmin could not have been lovelier. She knows the bakery so well and took the time to tell me about all the different baked items before helping me decide on the Armando. I was so impressed by how much Jasmin knew. The Armando is this delicious ring of apple cake with raisins and walnuts, with just the right touch of honey sweetness. SO good! I also love that they have gluten-free options. Lastly, if you need to get a gift, super cute merch. Thank you! Support local.

To say this is the best cake I have ever eaten is an understatement. A little backstory here…read more.. Last year, 4 of my friends and my 3 (cheapo) sons got together for my birthday and my friends told me all about Brandi at Jensen's Custom Cakery... and her "wonderful cakes." The way they described them was more of an experience than anything else... with intense flavors and wonderful textures... everything fresh and made to order... So I got all excited and then they went and got me a !*YTST cake from some other local (and well-known) bakery that turned out to be a flat suger bomb...bleh... all because they didn't get an order placed in time with Brandi... (that's a hint, order early as she gets booked up) - Anyway, I was pretty darn upset to say the least because - hey, life is too short to not eat great cake and now that I'm yelping - stand back! Oh well, they did get me some nice presents, and good wine, but still... there is no comparison... So this year, just to be sure, for my wine country birthday party, I went ahead and ordered my own darn cake - well in advance... (my friends can just bring me wine from now on - pay attention Lorraine :))! So I ordered what's called a Double Lemon Coconut and I gotta tell you it really was an absolutely amazing cake - and Brandi even delivered it to our weekend rental on the other side if the valley. So this 2 layer dream cake was so good that the first thing I did was hide away a piece from my hungry friends and family... and a good thing I did because they ate the whole thing... all of it! I have never seen a cake disappear so fast in all my years and birthday parties... but on this one, you can really taste the fresh coconut, the intense lemon, the cream... the tart in the lemon curd... (even her curd is fresh hand-made just for the specific cake - I know, I tried to buy more of it) and the bite assembly is nothing short of gourmet... You can really tell a lot of time was spent perfecting these flavors... and all I can say is WOW and now I'm really excited for my next birthday (but so sad right now because I am out of cake), I even ate my backup piece :(... Next time I'm going to order a carrot cake that my friend Nancy told me about last week and described as "cosmic and out of this world..." since I am a carrot cake junkie, I can't wait... I'll let you know how that one goes along with some pics when I figure out how to get them off my new phone... onto the Yelp machine.... until then, if you want a memorable cake and the absolute best you can get your mouth on, check out her site or give her a call... tell her Maggie sent ya!

Now, the peanut butter chocolate cookie (not sure if that's the exact name)...AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Now, I have no food allergies... however, my husband always shares with me.
