This spot is ity bity and the line takes up majority of the place. We were interested in the gingerbread houses but they start at about $300. I just got a gingerbread man instead which was $5.5 the desserts were ok not worth the line I'd say read more

I came here because I saw it a celebrity I follow and she posted she got her kids birthday cake here. So of course, I was influenced by her into coming. They are conveniently located next to the famous Solvang windmill and the line is long, but they move quickly. There's outdoor dining in the front and the back of the store. They have fresh bread, cakes, cookies, dog treats and a lot more. I got linzer cookies and they're really good. The the almond buttering too!! Soo good. read more

So the bakery is pretty cute, the vibe is great. The prices are not too bad considering the aesthetic of everything. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing is that we didn't really like the pastries. Every we got was way too sweet, and they also kind of tasted very similar to each other. read more

Today was my first visit to the Solvang Bakery on Alisal, but it will not be my last!! cute decor, and great ambience. Kaitlyn, and Karen we're both very friendly and welcoming of me and my dog. I have not had a cheese, danish in decades, but I couldn't resist theirs and it was worth the wait. You can sit out front on their sidewalk cafe chairs or in the back. Oh! Almost forgot to mention the best vanilla latte in town. Solvang Bakery is now my "go to" place in the Santa Ynez Valley! read more

I was on a mission to find a gingerbread cookie. The Solvang Bakery delivered. I didn't get a picture because it was devoured. $5 about 3.5 inches tall, soft, chewy and perfect Christmas cookie. I also bought a cute holiday mug that came with a free cup of coffee. read more

Cheese Danish and iced tea for some afternoon pick me up. The line moves rather quickly. They have a store front and sold some gifts, kitchen items, etc., and if you make your way to the back, there's a whole counter full of yummy pastries. The staff were efficient and very quick to help you out. They're also very helpful with questions that you have. The front gets really crowded because everyone's trying to take a picture with the famous windmill right next to the bakery. read more

Solvang Bakery is a charming stop that perfectly captures the cozy, old-world feel of Solvang. From the moment you walk in, the smell of fresh pastries and baked bread sets the tone for a comforting experience. The selection is impressive, with classic Danish pastries, flaky butter cookies, rich cakes, and hearty breads that taste homemade and authentic. The pastries are consistently fresh, not overly sweet, and beautifully balanced in flavor--especially the danishes and almond-filled treats. Service is friendly and efficient, even when the bakery is busy, the prices feel reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The popular lines definitely go out the door so be prepared to wait. But all good things come to those who wait. The line moves pretty quickly and gives you a chance to look at the merch while you are standing there. Whether you're grabbing a quick bag of cookies and pastry or taking home a box of treats, Solvang Bakery is a must-visit spot that adds to the town's European charm. read more

strawberry cheesecake danish was delicious. the cherry danish was decent to me but im not really a cherry flavored person. it was very crowded and busy. it's a tight place with some seating outside. it's a bit overstimulating because there's so many people around. we came on a tuesday morning and it was already so packed. overall, it was delicious and it's worth checking it out. read more

Another amazing stop in Solvang! My fiancée and I made this cozy, welcoming bakery our final stop, and it was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. The variety of treats, from danishes to lemon squares and cookies, was almost overwhelming in the best way--it satisfied every bit of our sweet tooth cravings. Naturally, we indulged, and every bite was worth it. Not only were the baked goods fantastic, but the service was just as impressive. The staff was warm and friendly, making the experience even better. Plus, this bakery is another dog-friendly gem in Solvang, welcoming our pup, Skye the dachshund, with open arms. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to stock up on more of their delicious danishes and cookies. A special shout-out to the gingerbread cookies, which were absolutely delightful! Highly recommend this bakery for its amazing sweets, service, and overall charm. read more

Main destination for our trip to kick off the holiday season. This bakery had so much variety, even towards closing time and we got everything we came for. The Danish Cinnamon Crispies are addicting and were good even on the second day. The rum balls were also surprisingly mild which is great because lots of bakeries can over do it. The rice crispy treats were great too, definitely something you need to share. One thing I really appreciated was nothing was unnecessarily sweet, I could even taste the salt in the chocolate chip cookies which I love. The staff took their time with each customer, even after a long day in the middle of the holiday rush. Overall friendly and offered a great experience as a customer. And of course, this delivered on the Solvang vibe, hits exactly how you want it to. We waited about 30-45 minutes and the only drawback is that there isn't really a good setup to handle as many customers as there were when we went. Anything good in this area during the holiday season will require a wait, just not a big runway to handle the line with a smaller shop like this one. Can't wait to come back next year! read more

Was driving by this beautiful Danish town in early morning. Saw this bakery open so got to check it out. Very cute and festive decor and plenty of sweet treats and baked goods that just too good to pass up. They do have coffee and other drinks. Staff here are very nice, helpful and friendly. Got several goodies for road snack and the HUGE sweet pretzel too, $25 - not bad at all, and it's very yummy, soft and not too sweet. Loving it. read more

Excellent! Next to one of the iconic Solvang windmills. One of the best ham cheese croissants, warmed up. Service was friendly. Went when they first opened so it was nice and quiet with no crowds. read more

I'm a little disappointed this is and has been my favorite bakery. We always pick up goodies to take back home to family & friends. I purchased some napoleon hat cookies as they're my favorite. I was eating one just a few mins ago and to my surprise when I was just about finished there was a hair pretty much buried in the pastry... so bummed to even be posting this review!!!! read more

Absolutely love this place lots of selections and they never skimp on fillings or quantity! We are regulars here.

The exterior is cute. Fits the rest of the atmosphere in Solvang perfectly. The tables and chairs outside are cute and perfect for sitting on when the weather is nice. I got a marzipan from here. I've heard of marzipan, but never got the opportunity to try it before. I enjoyed the novelty, but I can see why marzipan is often used for decorative purposes. read more

From all the Kringles and butter cookies I've tried this bakery is my favorite. The Kringle was soft with plenty of custard and almond filling! I loved that the dough was soft and not to crumbly. The butter cookies that were plain were also great. The ones with almond tasted a bit stale. Would definitely come back. Kringle was On the pricier side but great for sharing. read more

This little bakery is my favorite in Solvang where bakeries are plentiful to showcase the Danish specialities. It's a smaller bakery that doesn't have overflowing mountains of pastries , quality over quantity is the vibe here. It is towards the back end of Solvang, which is about an 8 minute walk from when you enter the town. They have about 4-5 different options for gluten free pastries, the almond horn with a nice, chewy consistency being my favorite and the chocolate covered Sarah being my husband's. The coffee here was also our favorite in town. It is not bitter or too acidic. We had lattes that we ordered extra hot. The girls here are kind, and attentive. This bakery has a very sweet and pleasant ambiance with pink tables and cute souvenirs for any occasion. Worth the quick walk to avoid the overcrowded bakeries toward the beginning of town. Definitely recommend if you're in town! read more

I got my birthday cake here and it was amazing! My husband ordered 72hr ahead to place an order and it was right on time, baked freshly. Black Forrest cake comes with whipped cream and cherries. Cake was moist and delicious, whipped cream light and fluffy, and all the cherries and gold dusts! I'd recommend to order cakes here for any celebration to make it very special. read more

Stop by Solvang on the way to Santa Barbara and there are so many cute shops. This was one of them. Super cute. I wanted to try everything but was so full but will be back to try everything else. Outdoor seating with pink tables. The cakes look so good. Staff were friendly. It was really busy but I ordered a raspberry Danish and 1 rum ball. Both were ok but rum ball is definitely shareable. It's too rich to eat an entire one. read more

There are so many good things at all the bakeries in Solvang it's hard to claim "the best" but this is another bakery that is a must visit for us during a Solvang visit. These guys know gingerbread. If you ever want an amazing gingerbread display come here or order online. It WILL be the best one you ever purchased. After coming here a few years ago, I did order one for my kiddo to decorate for Valentine's Day. They have gingerbread all year long for every occasion! It was so much fun to decorate and they supply all the fixings shipped perfectly to my home! As a brick and mortar store, they not only have gingerbread houses to purchase at the store but tons of other cute holiday items and not to mention, the full on bakery of breads, cookies and pastries. They do it all and super cute-ly! (Is that a word?!) lol Love their gingerbread! read more

Dec 2024. We wanted to try this bakery as it's highly rated and I think it's the one I would go back to again. However it's small. We had a vanilla latte and a chai tea. And the drinks were great. They have 2 sizes. Small and large. We got a lot of items. Gingerbread cookie, sugar cookie, lemon bar, cream puff, cheese danish, and bear claw. Cheese danish needs more cheese The lemon bar was large but crust too thick and not enough lemon flavor. Bland. I threw it out. We loved this bakery and it's not touristy like the others in town with their huge long lines to order. read more

Super cute place and yummy pastries. The staff were nice and friendly. They had so many delicious things to eat and adorable gifts.

Such a cute shop and service was so friendly and helpful. I got way too much but of course had to get the gingerbread man and my favorites were the Danish waffle so light and airy with the perfect amount of sweetness. The chocolate croissant had a lot of chocolate which is rare so it was well received. Also got a cute ornament and tons of other cookies. read more

Super cute bakery! There were so many baked good options to choose from. On top of that, they also sell home items that you could purchase. Everything in there looked like it was made with a lot of care. We wanted to try a few things that we had never seen before so we got some of the Linzer cookies. They were super good and reminded me of like one of those jam thumbprint cookies. They also had dog biscuits so we picked up some of those as well! The workers there were really friendly and nice. read more

Cute little pink bakery that was probably my favorite of all of the 4 we walked in through. They had so many great baked pastries and breads available. The line was long and went out the back door to the patio but it was worth it. I got a Lacey with dark chocolate for bout $4.25. Just wish they had labels on ALL of the items in pastry display cases. They had a few labels but many more not labeled. I had to snap photos of what I wanted to order to show the clerk. read more

This was my first time visiting Solvang and I didn't know what to expect. Deserts galore!!! There were so many cute little shops, there is an abundant amount of parking spaces so don't be afraid to park and walk to this cute little shop. When you first walk in there's a gift shop area with a variety of little trinkets to buy. The back of the store is where the bakery is and boy was I not prepared for it! There was a line that moved quickly, the workers were patient and friendly, they were happy to answer any questions I had about the pastries. We ordered cream puffs, raspberry owl eyes, chocolate dipped almond horn, and lemon bars. They boxed everything up neatly and organized which was well appreciated for a 3 hour drive home. I "taste tested" one of everything we ordered and everything was a 10/10. Moist with the perfect amount of sugar. I'm still dreaming about the lemon bars and chocolate covered almond horns. read more

I instantly fell in love with this bakery! The beautiful decor, sweet staff members, and delicious treats stole my heart. The rear garden is such a beautiful place to sit and enjoy your goodies. I ordered a vanilla chai latte with oat milk along with an assortment of treats. I loved the almond rolls, the lemon bar, and the strawberry cheese danish. The bakery is small and does get a little bit crowded, but it's worth the wait! I ordered 5 bakery items along with a large latte which totaled to $29. Not bad for the great quality goods! I definitely will be returning here! read more

I took myself and my friend on a mini walking treat tour throughout this town. Our second to the last stop was at The Solvang Bakery. We shared a napoleons hat cookie, which was stuffed with marzipan and coated in dark chocolate. I wish I bought a few more to take home! It was not too sweet and the cookie itself was soft with a little bit of chew to it. I also purchased a loaf of cheddar jalapeño bread to take home. I've enjoyed a slice nearly every day - roasted with butter or with an egg on top. This savory purchase was well worth it too - because the loaf was so large, I shared it with two other people and here we are a few days later, each still enjoying pieces of it! read more

I tried the almond butter ring which is their signature. Luckily they sell slices, which are still quite large. The pastry was excellent and crispy + flaky. The almond paste and icing on top is sweet, so I liked the bites that had smaller amounts of that. The custard was really good and not too heavy. Definitely an excellent almond butter ring and a reasonable price! read more
