    Staff? So kind! Inside? SO CUTE!! Outside? Even cuter being pink! Bakery good? I got the lemon bar and it was so good!!!!! The level of lemon and zest in the piece I got was delicious and worth the $4 I paid! Parking can be limited if it's a busy day, right outside of shop but it was pouring rain when we went so we got front parking. Restroom is closed to patrons so we had to walk about a block to go to the public restroom, but they were really clean!

    Probably the cutest cupcakes and cakes that we saw here. Friendly service. Small but well stocked selection that was fresh!

    Solvang Bakery is seriously the cutest spot ever. The inside is so visually aesthetic: everything has this adorable pink theme that makes it feel warm, cozy, and picture-perfect. It's one of those places where you walk in and immediately want to take photos because it's just that cute. The service was so nice and welcoming too. They were patient, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. We got the strawberry cheese danish and it was sooo yummy. The filling was creamy and smooth, perfectly sweet but not overpowering. The strawberry on top added a fresh, slightly tangy balance that made every bite so good. The pastry itself was flaky, buttery, and soft in the center, you can tell it's made fresh. Overall such a sweet little bakery with great vibes and even better pastries. Definitely would come back.

    Came for an Easter theme cookie for my toddler. I was amazed by how much easter decorations they had on display. They usually have a theme for the season. There are many bakeries on Solvang but I seem to always be drawn here. It was not busy when I came so my daughter was able to order the cookie she wanted pretty quickly. If your in the area to stay or passing through, check out this cute little bakery.

    Cute shop! A variety of baked goods and little Knick knacks. Cheese danish- 5/10 Gingerbread man - 2/10 (according to my sister. Couldn't taste the spices of a traditional gingerbread man. Stale) Brownie- 7/10 my niece said it was good although there was too much frosting on it) Wicked sugar cookie - 5/10 nothing special. Cute printed cookie. Eclaire - 8/10 (according to my mom) she said it was good. Would buy it again when she's around town. Service was fine. Not too friendly nor rude.

    I like the Sarah Bernhart cookies here the best. It's got a good almond cookie base, small ganache and chocolate top. Just the right balance, nothing over powering other parts. Also has apple strudle for breakfast, they can warm it up for you if you like. I saw small birthday cakes, great when you only need it for 2 or 3 people, as opposed to getting a giant 8 inch cake. I want to go back and try more. Service was great, they answered all my quetions and was able to provide shelf life for all the items.

    The cutest little bakery with charm and old school feel. The inside boasts lots of fun gift items! ...and is just lovely! The outside reminds me of the perfect bakery! Service is swift and friendly! We got quite a few Danish but ate them in the car all i had left was a strawberry cake

    I've been visiting Solvang bakery for more than a decade and the quality is consistently good. During the holidays, the interior transforms to a storybook dream as it's filled with abundant styles and sizes of gingerbread houses and treats that are both cute and tasty. I purchased a dozen gingerbread people cookies and they were still tasty a week later. The bakery gets extra busy during the holidays but the staff keep the line moving efficiently.

    This bakery is located in heart of the Solvang. They sell a variety of baked goods. They also have different kinds of danish goods to choose from. They have hot and cold drinks too. They also sell packaged cakes, gummies and candy too. For ambiance this is a little bakery . There are couple of tables outside. It is better to order and leave since there might be enough tables. For service, the ladies helping customers was nice and friendly. No complaints about the customer service. P.S I would suggest going to this bakery when you're hungry since there are so many yummy pastries. lol

    Everything was delicious. There was a long line, but it went pretty fast. We got a regular croissant, a kringle (so delicious with that almond filling!), and a big shareable apple cinnamon bread (similar to a gooey monkey pull apart bread), bringing our total to $21. The kids loved the animatronic bunny outside.

    This is a must stop anytime I'm in Solvang. I always load up on pastries to take back home with me. The store is super cute! Service is attentive and quick.

    We have been trying to come here for every trip to Solvang!!! We finally succeeded! It definitely did not disappoint! You approach a candy wonderland with a community bistro vibe. Everyone was just greeting each other, and we made friends while in line! The bakery itself smells so yummy and filled with so much deliciousness! I wanted one of everything! Luckily, we had the regulars share some secrets! We ordered a KRINGLE, LEMON BAR, LEMON DANISH, CHEESE DANISH, STRAWBERRY CHEESE DANISH, BEAR CLAW and a GINGERBREAD MAN. OMG!!! My family bakes, so when I say these are blessings from Santa's own magical oven, I mean it! The lemon bar was demolished by my hubby (lemon anything connoisseur) ... He liked the lemon Danish too but loved the bars! I cut a piece of the strawberry cheese Danish, and good gracious! Not too sweet and the combo of fresh strawberry jam and cheese on a flaky crust was heavenly. Didn't stop there! Tore into my Kringle, and the light flakiness with the perfect filling of custard, cinnamon, nutty flavor with a hint of magic went perfectly with my cafe sua (hot Viet coffee). The cheese Danish was perfectly creamy and not too sweet. Loved it!! The BEAR CLAW is waiting for my hubby...I stole a small piece! Crispy, lightly sweet with cinnamon and yummy! Don't tell him! They forgot to pack the gingerbread man, so we called and they put one aside for us!!! I can't wait to taste that yumminess. The service and bubbly personality of Bree and Barbara put everything over the top! That whole bakery is a welcoming community feel! Definitely coming back for the pumpkin bread and other goodies to taste!

    I made a special trip from Carlsbad to Solvang to get cookies here for Christmas gifts for my friends. They were well received.

    Had a great time trying the aebleskivers. We were walking around town on a Saturday morning looking…read morefor breakfast. Most places had quite a long wait but this one we were seated right away. We were really excited to try the aebleskivers and they were awesome. The jam that you get them with is also bomb. We also ordered our own breakfast plates to go with them and the breakfast meals were solid. I got an eggs Benedict and it got the job done. Nice solvang European vibe inside. Fun place to visit. Glad we came

    This place is a classic and for a good reason. I've been going here since I was a kid. Maybe it's…read moreStockholm syndrome but I still maintain that there's still no better place to get a good aebelskiver, or three. The standard breakfast fare is pretty good too. The dining area has a great combination of classic American diner and Solvang ambiance that really lives up to the town vibes, and since Solvang was built up in its current form as a "Danish town" in the 1960s, that seems pretty accurate. This is pretty much a go-to stop for me when I'm in the area. Although there is usually a wait, the service is pretty quick. If you don't want to wait they have a convenient takeout window. Plus you can buy an aebelskiver pan and mix here! (Pick up some of the Bestemor's Raspberry Jam while you're there and you also won't regret it)

    I was literally going to walk past this candy store and not go in but something told me to go in…read moreand check it out and I am so glad I did. I was in here on a Friday a little after 6pm and no one was in here. I asked one of the young women working here what time they closed and she told me 6:30pm. I then went to check out their back area and oh my they had quite an assortment of Dutch licorice, I was in heaven! I like salty licorice, less sweet and more salty with a good licorice bite and also found one of the brands I really like. I also tried another I did know, just to see what it was like. The brand I am used to I am saving for later as I know what it tastes like. The new brand I got is a bit more sweet than I like but I still like it and it was good I tried it. This is a great shop if youre looking for Dutch style licorice. They also have plenty of award winning chocolates too and a lot of people showed up after I entered and all ordering their chocolates. Id come back here again when in town!

    My family and I stopped into this cute like chocolate store while spending the weekend in Solvang…read more It was Viking themed which we loved and while we didn't buy any actual chocolate - we still pursued and bought some chewy candy. Their chocolate display case looked so good - they also offer ice cream and milk shakes! They had a separate ice cream bar area which I thought was super cute. They had a whole wall of gummy candy that I had never seen or heard of before! I was tempted to buy some and have a little taste test. The inside was decent sized, but still inviting, clean and organized! Staff were also very nice and the register and even greeted us when we arrived. I would definitely recommend checking Ingeborg's Danish Chocolates if you are looking for a sweet treat for yourself or to bring home to someone! We will be back to check out their chocolates next time we are visiting Solvang!
