Danish Mill Bakery

This bakery looks as it appears, welcoming and busy. It's non stop and I tasted the reason why. If you are visiting Solvang, the Danish Mill Bakery is a must stop. I highly recommend trying the Apple Fritter. It's deliciously soft, the flavor is just magical!! I only had "one bite and I'm done" in mind but, I ate half of this delightful loaf. They also offer hot or iced coffee, lattes, etc.. This is a cute bakery. Don't forget to check out the mechanical bakers in the front! :)

Behind every wonderful bakery is a baker with a vision and a heart full of passion. Let’s delve into this sweet danish review. Danish Mill Bakery (est 1960) is an iconic bakery in Solvang that offers traditional Danish pastries, cookies, and coffee. A must-visit for authentic flavours and a cozy, Danish-inspired atmosphere. I walked-in just to ogle at their pastries, however, temptation was too strong. So I decided to give my nascent relationship with sweets another chance. I had TWO truffles, a classic and dark martini; each cost $1.75 USD. It’s very good, bloody amazing! Service was fast. Female staff was professional. Atmosphere was chill. Layout was spacious. Prices were on the high end. Parking was abundant. Collectively, this is a good Danish bakery. Overall, I had a good experience and utterly enjoyed my truffles. I recommend you visit.

We had a quick breakfast there , there display fridge is very appealing, we had the bear claw, it was good, the cream cheese danish wasn’t wow, but the German chocolate cake and macarons were good!!

My wife convinced me to stop by here to try their Danish. It’s a tourist hotspot so expect long lines and 5 dollar pastries. But my wife really enjoyed her authentic handmade danish.

Absolutely loved the place ! Everything we tried was absolutely tasty. The dough in all the pastries was delicious, moist and so fresh. The atmosphere is also very nice!

I really like the princess cake. It has thin layers of sponge cake, jam, and cream on top!!! Also has a cute Denmark flag. Other pastries are good but kinda sweet

During our visit to Solvang, we were eager to sample a Danish pastry, so we visited this local bakery. They offered a variety of pastries, and those we tried were delicious; the mocha coffee was excellent. However, the service we received was disappointing. As first-time visitors, we were unsure of the ordering and seating process. When we sought clarification from an employee, their response was frustrating and unfriendly. This negative experience led me to rate their service with one star.

It was too sweet for my taste. Did I expect too much? It's worth tasting at least once. But I felt a little bad after eating. Is it because of my mood?

Danish Mill Bakery has been in Solvang for over 60 years. You can come here for many different pastries and treats. My neighbor brought me a bucket of cookies here and every time I go to Solvang I have to come and pick up a bucket of their butter cookies. Their butter cookies are good and my co-workers even enjoy them. Each bucket comes with five dozen cookies. You can't go wrong with any of them. Danish Mill also sell other treats like Danishes, Danish cookies, cakes, truffles, macaroon, macarons, Kringle, homemade granola, Viking bread, and coffee. I can't vouch for everything else but I really like the butter cookies. Overall, if you're looking to bring back a treat from Solvang come for their bucket of butter cookies.

my fam and i like to visit solvang from time to time. a quick day trip from LA. solvang is filled with soooo many danish bakeries and its so hard to choose one, but they are all great. danish mill bakery is usually our go to, we love a good sourdough. close to 11am, they were sold out of the sourdough boule! they werent making any more for the rest of the day!! the gal helping us out was not very helpful, i asked if they had any sourdough left, she looked behind the counter and said, no. my thoughts.. like are you guys baking any now? will there be another batch? we drove 2.5 hrs, like can i call to put a few on hold?? like give me some tips girl!! this bakery usually has a line out the door, but you feel rushed when its your turn to order. they have a seating area inside and outside avail. ordered a few different fruit danishes, jalapeño cheese bread, french bread loaf and cinnamon roll parking: there is free parking all around the town. try to come early as it fills up to noon during peak days/times.

Danish Mill Bakery has a nice atmosphere inside and a good selection of baked goods, but overall I wasn't too impressed. I tried the apple fritter, which looked great but ended up being pretty bland and lacking much flavor. The coconut macaroon was decent, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. It's not a bad spot, friendly enough and pleasant inside, but the pastries just didn't stand out for me.

There are better bakeries within a couple minutes walk. The staff was nice enough, but told us we couldn't sit inside since we initially said to-go and changed our minds. The princess cake had very little jam and the cream puff was average. The eclair cream was oddly tangy and when asked, they said it was raspberry flavored...however there was not any raspberry color and everyone who tried it had stomach issues later. It also was not advertised as a raspberry eclair.

I was excited to try their bakery, but I personally found the pastries a bit too sweet for my taste. If you enjoy sweeter flavors, you might really like them, they just weren't the right fit for me. Since I live in LA, I made the drive out to Solvang and noticed the customer service felt quite different from what I'm used to in the city, the staff came across as a bit cold. On the positive side, they do have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the space is charming. The cartoon baker decorations make for some fun photo opportunities while you're there.

Lately I've been craving their jalapeño bread loaf. And as I was in town for a few days, it was meant to be. Not only that, they also have amazing pastries and chocolate. Clearly as it's Solvang, everything is amazing in town. The fresh baked danish, cakes, breads and cookies are all delicious. Coffee drinks are also served. Depending on when you visit, it can get busy as it's one of the popular danish bakery in town. Plenty of seating inside but not much outside. They have benches but majority of the people tend to just stand while they're enjoying the goods. Regardless whatever you get, it's always very flavorful. And as it's in town, you can enjoy your sweets and wander through town.

The family wanted to stop by the famous Danish Mill Bakery. The bakery is located in the center of solvang. They have many pastries to choose from. We got some macarons and cookies. The staff was friendly. The decor in the store is so cute making it feel cozy.

Wow!!! What a great selection of bakery treats!!! All looking yummy and delicious. They were fresh and made with fresh ingredients that were delicious. Service was friendly and lots of tables and chairs to enjoy your treat!!! My wife really loved the butter cookies!!!

Nice option when in town. The Jalapeno bread was perfection. Pastries were good and not overly sweet. Plenty of parking in the lots.

While in Solvang we visited several different bakeries. Unfortunately there was a couple of bakeries we came across that was closed on Tuesdays but we did check out the Danish Mill Bakery who probably had the best selection of pastries and cookies we visited today. They also have a little seating area inside if you wanted to enjoy your sweets seated but found they do charge a small seating fee WTH??? Their danishes are good though and they do have the best selection of sweets based on the other bakeries we visited during our trip. Try this bakery out !

What's a trip to Solvang without stopping at Danish Mill Bakery? We visited on our last day to grab the famous cookies and enjoy some coffee for breakfast, along with a selection of pastries. Our experience was delightful. The bakery looks lovely and has a cozy interior where you can get seated if you choose to enjoy your treats on-site. The staff were welcoming and friendly, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The cookies were just as delicious as we had hoped, and the coffee paired perfectly with our pastries. One thing to note is that they only accept card payments, so be sure to plan accordingly. Danish Mill Bakery is a must-visit when in Solvang, and I can't recommend it enough. It was the perfect way to wrap up our trip!

Cute little bakery in town. We stopped by here for a quick bite before dinner and got a ham and cheese danish and some cookies! Service was extremely friendly!!

Came in for espresso... got that... along with a bucket of cookies and jalapeño cheese bread! Beware, once you enter, it nearly impossible to leave without wanting to just buy and try everything from the bakery. This Sunday morning we came in just before 10am and the line was already pretty stacked. No worries though, the crew at Danish Mill had it moving pretty quickly. They're very friendly and also very efficient. There's a seating area inside for those looking to dine in. We took our treats to go. Jalapeño cheese bread was absolutely amazing. Definitely making Danish Mills a must do whenever I'm in town. Looking forward to trying so much more.

One of my favorite spots in Solvang and definitely my favorite when I was a kid. Their Princess Cake is my favorite. There are a handful of bakeries in Solvang and at the end of the day it all depends on preferences. I like different things from the different bakeries. They have a great selection of cookies, pastries, and cakes. You can eat it onsite with some coffee or take a box to go. They also sell buckets of butter cookies (which is also available by mail). The bakery is really cute and storybook like just like the rest of the town.

Omg!!! My husband took me for my birthday to Solvang I been wanting to go forever and it was amazing I loved the pastries there are a lot of people who were coming in being rude tourist or people who seemed wealthy but we are not those type of people the people working were very humble these were some of the tastiest pastries I've ever had the coffee was really fresh and everything was really clean can wait to come back!!!

We tried another danish bakery , this bakery was busy but the service very quick and friendly

Cute bakery and I was excited when I saw they had French macarons! I ordered three- the chocolate, vanilla, and lemon. Sadly they were all made really bad. They must have overbeat the egg whites because the cookie part tasted basically like a chalky merengue... And the cookie visually was really bumpy and had a peak on it, confirming it was overbeat and the flour was probably not sifted. Definitely steer clear of the French macarons. The rest of our pastries were okay. This place looks very cute but I wouldn't go back. I would try a different bakery next time I'm in the area.

This place looks so good and smells so good. We got 2 danishes and 1 cinnamon roll. The danishes are very sweet and filled with artificial flavors. The cinnamon roll did not taste fresh. It was kind of stale all around.

This is by far the BEST BAKERY IN SOLVANG!! The food is to die for- they warm up all of the pastries for you and serve them fresh. The ham & cheese croissant is just so delicious!!! They are super warm and friendly there, always very welcoming. The decorations are adorable!!! The animatronics at the front are eye-catching and draw you in. Their to-go cookies are delicious- definitely recommend their bucket of them- they last so so long and stay so delicious. Always come here for breakfast!! This was the best out of all the bakeries we tried :)

So we stumbled across this Danish bakery on our visit to Solvang and let me tell you that we were quite frankly, looking for an apple strudel, or I can't really remember the name of it quite frankly, but that's what we were looking for, and upon our arrival, we got there. Maybe a couple minutes before they closed and so we got a quick treat. We ended up getting a cheese and cherry dish, which was phenomenal certainly, so yummy, so fresh. Definitely can get more of those, and we also opted for like little fudge bites. We weren't too impressed with those. But nonetheless, cute little shop, a lot of decor, very interactive, so it's definitely a good spot for family and friends to visit while you're in Solvang.

There is always a line here I swear. So that makes you want to try their pastries to see why people wait so long to purchase them. I liked the danishes here, probably the best in solvang which by the way is known for their bakeries. There are quite many all over town. So the danish here was fresh and delicious. I also got a custard puff which was toooo sweet for me. The dry cookies also taste amazing and they have some prepacked in cute bags. Great for gift giving specially during Christmas. Customer service is ok, but could be better. I guess it gets too busy and tiring to deal with so many people from all over the world.

Ordered a cinnamon danish and ate it outside in the sunshine in downtown Solvang. Staff was super friendly! The pastry was sooo yummy perfect and sweet. Highly recommend

If you like a place to sit and sip cappuccino and pastry this is your place, but not all pastries are sweet. This place didn't satisfy my desire of eating a chocolate filled danish. Instead I ordered "Eclair" and "Custard Puff" which the puff was fulfilling and the other had no flavor. Service is quick and very nice. Next time I will definitely stick to my original plan and order a chocolate danish.

So is a danish just called a pastry in Denmark? This was really good! Great texture, soft, light, and flavorful!

Danish Mill Bakery is such a gem! I had something similar to an almond croissant, and it was absolutely delicious--flaky, buttery, and perfectly sweet. The service was wonderful; the staff was so kind, and they didn't even accept tips when I paid! Beyond the great pastries, it's also a nice spot to get some work done, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

Compared to other bakeries, I had this place had more interesting pastries. I tried the princess cake and loved it. It is covered with a thin layer of Marzipan and it wasn't too sweet. The other one was a desert that seemed like marshmallow filling. Overall I enjoyed the pastries and my time here. There is fake flower pots hanging from the ceiling. Makes the place very cozy

Extremely varied selection of baked goods and chocolates. They have tables so you can eat pastries there. Always a crazy line when I go.

The danish and owl eyes were the best so fresh and tasty. The danish butter cookies were ok a little over hyped for me. Cute decor and tons of pastry & chocolate selections! Service was fast. And we they participate in the Solvang pass for a discount.

Woah this custard puff is amazing! The custard isn't too sweet and the bread is perfectly fluffy! These babies were huge! Very delicious! Will definitely come back for these when in Solvang again!

I can only review the coffee, I had an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, hands down one of the best I have had in my life.

We stopped here based on video reviews we saw and the bakery was very cute inside, but pastries were just OK. Or maybe that's just how Danish baked goods taste to me and I'm just not a huge fan of them? I do think that when you order, it would be nice if they would be warmed up for a fresher taste. Staff is friendly overall and if you dine in, there is a back area to sit. We ordered the apple strudel, lemon danish, cream cheese guava danish. Although all the pastries look flakey on the outside, when you take a bite in, you don't get that desirable crisp and make a little flakey pile on the floor, but it insteads sits flat. Of the three we liked the cream cheese guava best. Lemon was oddly too sweet than tart and the apple tasted from the day before set.

Items looked good under glass but were stale and terrible when eaten. Very disappointing. Tried a bear claw, apricot danish and apricot thumbprint cookie. All terrible.

You have to have a Danish pastry when in Solvang! I only went into two of the bakeries, so I don't have a lot to compare against, and I'd already had a breakfast Danish at another bakery, but bought the Guava cream cheese Danish here to take with me to have the following day. It was obviously not going to be as fresh the next day, but I do love guava, and cream cheese, so the pastry still made me happy. I could only wish to have even more of the filling on the Danish. We were feeling like we had purchased enough sweet things over our two days in Solvang, but later regretted that we didn't buy a tin of butter cookies, try one of the French waffles, and splurged on our diets and just bought a few more things to try. When in Solvang, you should have the full experience! This bakery had a nice selection. The Bakery was very central in the middle of town on Copenhagen Street. It had cute, animated characters/bakers in the window, and another inside that sometimes spoke, I believe about the bakery's history, but I was hearing it on my way out. I would happily revisit the Danish Mill Bakery.

With a plethora of bakeries in Solvang, it's impossible to just pick one. But we did..and I think we made a great choice. Huge selection of baked items and breads..wanted to get everything but instead I chose the solvang cheese cake which was to die for. Perfect amount of fluffiness and cream. I would get that again and again.

This bakery has many locations around Solvang. This particular location was busy and they had a bigger selection. They had a great selection of baked goods and I wish I could've tried more but I was so full from breakfast. I saw this unique looking cake and I had to try it. The Princess Cake was absolutely delicious! The marzipan top was tasty and the mousse was light and creamy. The cake itself was not too sweet. The bottom had a nice strawberry filling. I really enjoyed it! The service was okay. Other than that, I recommend going here for some dessert or some danishes.

After trying several different bakeries in Solvang, Danish Mill clearly stood out as our favorite. Their pastries have a richness and fluffiness that the others just couldn't match. What impressed me most was the attention to detail in their flavors. Their custard has a hint of citrus that elevates it beyond the standard. The Danish Waffle hit that perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft interior, with sweet cream and raspberry that made it memorable. Don't miss their Kringle... each bite gives you a different experience as you taste the fruit, cheese, and almond elements. Their owl eyes cookies and chocolate-dipped clamshells are standouts too - soft with centers that literally melt in your mouth. While service can be busy at times, the quality of their baked goods makes it absolutely worth it. If you're in Solvang and want a great Danish pastry experience, this is the place to go.

Grabbed a quick cheese danish here and ever since then the only thing I've been thinking about are danishes. It was so good, freshly baked and nice and flakey. Plus the animated chefs baking in the front is so cute and iconic in Solvang! ig: @cravingswithcat

The best almond horn in town. We tried 6 different places (I think we missed esko). They were all good, but this was our personal favorite. A local we talked to also said this was her favorite, though she doesn't go anymore because they don't accept cash now. This almond horn was the most unique in shape (more like a horse shoe than a small crescent), which I think lends to its perfect 1:1 ratio of crunchy outside and doughy inside. Some places were mostly crunch, some were mostly doughy, but this was just right for us. Because of it's larger shape, I think you also get more almond slivers on the outside, which adds an extra crisp to the exterior crunch. The dark chocolate was also the most flavorful to us, though another place used a milk chocolate that I felt was well suited to the horn as well. These also hold up well after two days, probably more but... well, we're out of horns! When we come back, we will try more of what this bakery has to offer.

We stopped by Danish Mill Bakery while visiting Solvang and it was such a cute little spot. They have a huge variety of sweet treats to choose from, which made it hard to pick because everything looked so good. The bakery definitely gives off warm, welcoming vibes and feels like a classic Solvang stop. We enjoyed our treats and would definitely come back again when we're in the area.

Such a cute bakery!! I really like their decorations by the window. I feel like I've been transported to Europe. The structure of the cafe is really nice and very much for the gram. As for the pastries. I had their cherry and cheese danish, as well as their chocolate croissant. Cherry and Cheese Danish: It was quite big, and it has a lot of fillings. The ingredients were very fresh and every bite has a nice chew to it. Chocolate Croissant: Like the danish, it was also big. It was flaky and airy which is what I look for in a croissant. The sweetness level was just right and not overpowering. I highly recommend this place for sure if you're gonna come visit Solvang. You definitely will not be disappointed!

Good clean place. You can't go wrong by coming to this place. The pastries were wonderful and reasonably priced. One place was double the price and the other was a little more but gave smaller portions. Highly recommend.

A visit to Solvang just isn't done without visiting one of their many bakeries and indulging on pastries. We randomly wandered into this shop which was pretty busy, so you know I just had to try it out. There were so many options to choose from that I low key got overwhelmed, but here are the things I randomly selected: Napoleon's hat: not too sweet. I honestly probably wouldn't order this one again just because it was ok. Bar cookie raspberry: I had a bite of this and it was pretty good. Not overly sweet, nor was the raspberry that fake sweet flavoring, so that was a huge plus. Cream cheese guava danish: I thought this was really good, I know this is probably blasphemous, but I should've folded this in half so that I could get both he cream cheese and guava in each bite. Cream cheese lemon danish: Similarly to the above, it was really good! The lemon flavor was perfectly tart French waffle: crumbly, flaky, yummy Classic flodeboller: the way the lady described this to me was that it was like a marshmallow and she wasn't wrong. If you're into that, then you'd love this. For me it was good enough. Overall, 5 stars because everything was good and I'd go back because I want to try more. The staff is helpful and patient which is nice especially because I know it gets hectic. There are also some seating available inside the restaurant if you want to enjoy your goodies right then and there.

First time coming here. Got their Princess cake and it was tasty and flavorful. It was white cake with raspberry filling and cream and wrapped in marzipan frosting. Very airy and light tasting although heavy on the marzipan flavor. Cost was $6.95. Small indoor seating available.

Overhyped place! We took couple of danish & pastries. Pistachios pastry was super hard & hardly had any flavor. Danish flavors were reasonable. Service- servers were rude. You have to ask for cutlery. There is no counter to pick it up yourself. They dont clean the table for you. +Point 1. Variety of options to chose from -Point 1. No calorie count for the items 2. Service is OK.

Fantastic pastries. Wonderful marzipan flavors. Just like my MorMor used to make! However it's a little pricy.

Adorable little danish gem. The animated bakers out front are a real show stopper for kids and adults alike. The line goes fast and the tables in back make a nice respite from the crowds.

Nice little bakery, but now that we've tried several other bakeries in Santa Barbara, I would rank their pastries as good, but not as flaky and flavorful as some others.

Very nice place great decorations, I loved Marzipan Cooky it was very soft and tasty. Coffee is ok. Cheese bread could be better.
