Mortensen's Danish Bakery

Excellent pastry and coffee!! I saw the business and knew I had to go in. There are some tables inside and some tables outside. Everything is delicious and well made. Lots of people here. We arrived in the late afternoon near closing time. Definitely stop in and try!!!

This place has a beautiful presentation of all the wonderful pastries... A whole gamut of Danish.. International and Domestic treats.. they offer inside and outdoor dining.. I went outside as the perfect compliment to the Danish Waffle pastry I ordered . The atmosphere is so light and jovial.. I was here early to beat the morning rush and get a table outdoor in the sunlight... Another beautiful cool sunny morning in the Central Coast of California

What a delightful happenstance when we ended up here because the other bakery we were planning to go to was closed on Tuesdays! So glad we found this one instead! My three young adult sons and I visited Solvang and Mortenson’s in September on an overnight trip from LA to Big Sur (on vacation from Florida) and were warmly greeted by the owner’s daughter who was happy to chat a bit as we were there during a quieter season. We chose several danishes and a bucket of butter cookies, and they were SO FRESH and DELICIOUS! The only sad thing about our visit is that it is SO FAR from Florida, and their cookies are not available for shipping! 😩 I’ll never be able to eat a danish butter cookie from a metal can again! These are THAT GOOD! She also gave us a few little bags as a treat for our travels, so very sweet! I could have stayed to talk all day! 😊 Excellent all around! 🥰 Hoping cookies might be available for shipping for the holidays soon! 🙏

Did not like this place. There was no atmosphere to speak of when we visited. Staff were nice but the place looked empty and abandoned on a Wednesday - maybe there’s more to it during holidays and weekends. It’s a massive building and only had 2-3 patrons sitting at tables inside. The pastries are not nice. They don’t look nice and don’t taste nice and are so sweet that you never want to buy them again. The amount of sugar they use in their recipes is insane - definitely not something recommended for children. They advertise coffee but only have a small black coffee station. We won’t be returning.

I recently visited this charming Danish bakery and tried a few of their offerings: pistachio square, cream cheese danish, cinnamon roll, and Sarah Bernhardt cookie. Overall, the treats were undeniably sweet—perhaps too much for someone like me who doesn't have quite the tolerance for sugary desserts. If you’re a fan of intense sweetness, you might find these treats delightful, but for me, it was a bit overwhelming. Among the items I tried, the cream cheese danish and cinnamon roll stood out as my favorites. Both had a nice balance of flavor and sweetness, making them quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, the pistachio square was my least favorite—it was just too much for my taste. The bakery itself is adorable, and while I might not rush back for a second visit, it’s definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you're a fan of sweeter baked goods.

I am leaving this review in the hopes that someone from the bakery will reach out to me. I was there on 10/18/2025 and bought a bunch of lovely pastries, and a few drinks. They were absolutely delicious - everyone enjoyed them. And I thought the price was very reasonable, about $35 for everything. However, when I checked my bank account, I was charged $108! I tried calling the bakery on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesay, but received no answer. I emailed them using their online email document and no answer. I live too far away to go back and see them. Please, please reach out to me so I may change my review to all 5 stars!

This box of four pastries, two eclairs and two chocolate cream filled, came to $49.81 ($11.95 x 2, and $10.95 x 2, plus tax). Yikes. No wonder they don't post the prices, at least not next to the product. Perhaps there was a menu board somewhere, I don't know, but clearly I should have asked before having the clerk box them up. I found these too sweet and not authentic Danish tasting (my grandmother immigrated from Denmark in the 1950s and was an avid baker). I'll stick with the other bakery around the corner and down a ways on the main street. It has more authentic tasting and reasonably priced Danish baked goods.

Hands down the best pastries in town! The custard and almond, the cream cheese, the chocolate cookies… honestly, to die for. This place is a must if you’re in town. It’s family owned, and they’re incredibly friendly, so genuine and sweet. You feel right at home the second you walk in. They even gave us amazing local recommendations and a cookie for our dog. Absolute gems!

My friend and I came to visit Solvang and decided to stop at the Dutch bakery. I ordered the cinnamon crisp and it was delicious. The staff was great as she gave us recommendations of her favorite pastries, and where else to visit in Solvang. The inside of the store is very bright and all the pastries were displayed nicely. There was also no seating inside, but many tables outside to enjoy your pastries!

Mortensen's Bakery is a must-visit in Solvang! I stopped in for a custard puff and a blueberry Danish, and both were absolutely delicious. The custard puff was perfectly light with a rich, creamy filling, and the Danish had the perfect balance of buttery, flaky pastry and sweet-tart blueberries. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. It is on the pricey side, but given the quality and the fact that it's a popular spot in a tourist town, it's understandable. If you're looking for authentic Danish pastries, this place is worth the splurge! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Cute town. Felt like I was walking into a storybook around in a storybook bakery. Lines were long and the inside decor was very simple. Choices were plentiful so had to ask for recommendations on the most classics and must tries. Got to be honest but was not anything special. Simply enjoyed the experience lol Cinnamon swirl-thin crisp pastry. Tasted like the cinnamon toast cereal. Wouldn't order Bearclaw-typical almond and powdered sugar sprinkle pastry. Good but not any different from ones you can buy locally. Kringle-similar to a bearclaw.

I LOVE trying out bakeries which is a surprise since I am not a sweets person. I typically buy them, take a bite and give the rest to my husband. Haha. We have been to Solvang a couple of times and had never tried a bakery until we came to Mortensen's. We primarily go during the month of December so to no surprise, it was busy and there was a line. It was moving pretty quick though which was nice. Also the reason I was terrible at taking photos. I wanted to keep the line moving. It was a bit hard to see what they had, for a first timer, and decide what I wanted before I was next. That was all in my head, though. The worker who helped was super nice and I never felt rushed because of her. They do have a variety of sweets. I tried to get a little of everything. I got a bag of their butter cookies and different flavored danishes. Everything was delicious. Do like that there's seating inside, and plenty of seating outside. Overall, we enjoyed what we had. We will be going again. Hopefully before holidays.

Friday, 12-20-2024: We love this bakery! We came by yesterday but they were closed. When we walked in today there naturally was a line but it moved rather quickly. We ordered two coffees, a chocolate eclair, a gluten free marzipan horse shoe dipped in chocolate, and a bucket of their cookies since they're the only Solvang bakery that doesn't ship. The ladies working here were fast, friendly, and efficient. It was bright and gaily decorated for Christmas. The decor displayed was for sale & rather pricey. The seating area makes looks like an ice cream parlor. It is ultimately very feminine and quaint. It's a popular spot. There was a short lull where there was no line but it became crowded again. The influx never stopped. My hubby loved his chocolate eclair. He swears the cream was so fresh. My marzipan pastry was delicious. The bucket of cookies is for taking home. I'm so proud we didn't go overboard on the sweets, not to say the temptation wasn't there!

Cute bakery they have an amazing fresh cream cheese Danish bread, you can eat it there or have it to go, great customer service (they don't have public bathrooms) & the place is clean an cozy. On one side they sale the bread and in a little corner that you'll never guess is there they sale coffee! I found out once I was done with my bread :/ anyway is a staple if you are in the area!

Probably one of the most popular in Solvang. It's spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. They sell freshly baked cookies, danish, cakes and more. The variety is great here. They also sell coffee and some gift items The customer service is not bad but not great either. They get really busy on weekends.

The customer service was great. Everyone working was so kind and helpful. The location was great and the decor was awesome. Ended up getting a cinnamon crisp. Which was delicious. The cinnamon had good flavor.

So many different danishes, treats and sweets. There will be something for everyone. Lots of fruit filled ones. The girls wiring were very pleasant and welcoming. Gets pretty busy in the mornings, but they love along the line fast. Had cute little decor all round the bakery.

There are so many-many yum bakeries in Solvang...so it's hard to pin point "the best" as they each do a good job specializing in something...you really got to stop at each one and bring your appetite! We like coming here for everything raspberry flavored!!! The macaroon, the pastries, the cookies. And we do enjoy the non-raspberry pistachio bars and the crème puffs when we in the mood for a bigger treat! One thing is for sure, this is a must stop for us when we visit Solvang! Love that they have lots of seating and we love the sleigh photo op at Christmas time. ‍

Seemed to have the best variety of cookies out of all the bakeries in Solvang. Bit pricy but it's not everyday you're in Solvang.

Not impressed! The pastry is nothing like real Danish pastry! Also staff indifferent at best.

I didn't try as many options here but the danish we did have was good. Service was ok with the long lines they were organized. Cute decor inside made you want to sit down and have a coffee.

This is the bakery I usually stop by when in Solvang. The ladies are nice and they have samples out to try. Today, they had coconut cookies out. It was coconutty and flavorful and I had purchased couple apple streusel pastry that was $15/each but it was half my arm length so I thought it was worth it to bring back as gifts. Thanks ladies for the good service, I shall be back in few years.

I was recommended to try a bakery in Solvang! Came across Mortensen's while walking around. It's beautiful and and quaint , the staff greeted us upon entering! They have such a great variety of sweets!! I also loved that they had a few tables on the side/back with some shade especially for a hot day! Only downside is there is no AC in here , so on a warm day like when we visited it felt stuffy . Overall recommend !

Head in for your morning bite! They have batches of freshly-baked good. I was lucky to walk in for my breakfast, and smelled the freshly apple turnover and apricot custard. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seatings, as you walk thru to the bakery counter. Staff are friendly and dressed in traditional Danish attire. Great vibe. Great bite.

Stopped here for some breakfast in the morning. The interior is awkwardly set up. There is limited seating inside with some extra seating on the outside. The coffee is self-service and located around the corner from the display/cashier. They were a bit slow with refilling it. The pastries were delicious. The Pistasho cookie was my favorite. If you're in Solvang, definitely stop by.

While vacationing in California, my family and I did the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to San Francisco. I knew the route we were taking along with points of interest to stop at, but did not really do research into random towns and eateries. Well, we discovered the hidden gem town of Solvang on the way and had to stop and explore it a little bit. I felt like I was transported to some small village in Denmark. We spotted this cute little bakery and decided to stop in for a coffee and pastries before getting back on the road. From what I read, it has been here for over 40 years so I know they are doing something right here. I wouldn't say its large inside, but it was spread out with plenty of seating inside and outside. The employees here were super friendly and gave us great suggestions. I was honestly overwhelmed with all the options of pastries before my eyes. I went with one of the first things I looked at which was a custard Danish. It's typically not something I would order, but no regrets were had. The pastry was nice and flaky and you could tell it was freshly baked. The custard and icing were just right and not overly sweet. We had a variety of things amongst the family and everyone enjoyed their picks. I got coffee to go with it. They have different coffee options, but my regular coffee was decent. Nothing to write home about there. Overall, I loved the character and history of this place and am glad we stopped in this beautiful town to try some of the local treats. I would stop in again if in the area.

A great place to stop for a danish and coffee before heading out of town. We got the blueberry boat and cream cheese danish (not pictured). The cream cheese danish was our favorite. You could tell the danishes were fresh and service was quick.

This bakery had a long line so we thought it must be good. I was super excited to try the cookies so I purchased the Florentine, clam cookie, and some horseshoe shaped cookie. The girl helping me wasn't friendly at all and seemed to be half awake. The other women working there were super upbeat and helpful. My bf liked his U shaped marzipan cookie so that's a plus. I tried the clam cookie and the texture was so weird, kind of stale and soft. And it had a filling!! What? I wasn't expecting a filling and didn't care for it. The Florentine cookie looked promising but it was super hard and also had a filling!!! Why?? I just wanted a single cookie. It wasn't obvious visually that the cookies had fillings. For all 3 cookies plus a bottle of water I paid $17. Def overpriced and wasn't even tasty.

We got some baked goods here during our recent visit to Solvang. It was a nice spot away from the main street with no compromise on ambiance. They had nice seating arrangements and lots of items to select from. We got a danish dessert and a pastry. Both were equally delicious. Staff was attentive and they were moving the line ahead quickly. They had nice & ample seating arrangement. We found a seat quickly and was able to enjoy our desserts peacefully. Overall a nice place to enjoy some danish pastries during one's visit to Solvang.

Decided to buy some treats before we head home. There's quite a few choices of Danish Bakeries to choose from in Solvang but this one is the most memorable one. Staff was welcoming and helpful. I didn't really have time to go over selections so I asked an employee to select some for me and she did not disappoint. This place can have a short line but it moves rather quickly and is adequately staffed. I regret not buying some treats for friends. But it's ok because I plan on coming back for me.

All of the pastries taste the same. Got a box of six pastries. Dry, tastes artificial with no butter flavor. It was a slow Monday and the girl didn't even look up and say hello, had a surprisingly uncomfortable & unfriendly vibe inside.

The best among the best . In a town filled with excellent bakeries, this one is the very best , consistently, throughout the years .

After reviewing some of the more prominent Solvang bakeries on YouTube prior to our visit, we decided to amble down to Mortensen's on our first morning for an authentic "Danish" Danish. Luckily, there was no line on the Tuesday we visited, though we observed a steady stream of patrons as we posted up near the large front windows to enjoy their fare. Our Danish selections - and it was difficult to decide on just one apiece along with our morning coffee - were fresh, flavorful, and flaky. Suffice it to say that I'll never view a packaged Danish in the same way again! What a wonderful morning treat! My wife ordered an iced coffee, while I opted for a traditional hot cup of joe. The coffee bar was around the corner from the main display cases, and refills for regular coffee were self-service. Unfortunately, the staff appeared to forget my wife's iced coffee order until reminded, but the young lady serving us was quick to make amends after revisiting the front counter. (That will teach my wife for deviating from the traditional! :D) Mortensen's is a huge shop and appears to take up a large portion of the corner it occupies. It can even be accessed through an outdoor garden area (back door?) if not entering through the storefront. I have no doubt that the main counter is a busy, crowded place on weekends. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and I wholeheartedly recommend making time for your own sampling of Mortensen's many baked goodies when passing through this quaint Danish town.

Stopped by specifically to pick up some cookies to bring home to my parents. Tin with 48 cookies were about $18. As I was paying, they brought out a fresh tray of cookies and offered us samples. Don't know what each of the 3 cookies were (except for the lemon one) but they were buttery, crispy, and flaky - so good. A nice little not too sweet treat.

Huge selection of pastries and a lot of seating available. Some of the pastries we tried were a little bit too sweet for me. The service was great! Very friendly.

I sad to say that Mortensen's changed drastically. Maybe it's because they can with all of the tourist but it's lost its appeal. The bucket of cookies are namely cinnamon (clove or something similar) based now rather butter or shortbread. There's literally less than a handful of traditional buttery Danish cookies in the entire bucket! All of the cookies are one note due to the two layers of cinnamon-like flavored cookies. I am highly disappointed especially given the price. May as well buy the blue tin of Royal Dansk cookies. The danish waffles are still delicious though. But my owl eyes fell short too. $100 down the drain. Hopefully they'll go back to the way the buckets USED to be.

This is one of the many bakeries here in this town. It's also one of the busier ones as it's right in the middle of town and close to the park. This is also the only bakery that has tables inside and out. I ordered the eclair and custard donut. Both of them were $10 each. I thought this was super expensive, but I guess it's the signs of the times. I know that prior to Covid, it was not this expensive. As far as taste, I thought it was just ok. Didn't really blow me away. Like all of the other bakeries around town, I think they are all ok. But, don't get me wrong, it's still nice little treat.

This bakery is super cute and the staff was so kind and attentive! My boyfriend and I have been meaning to try all of the bakeries in Solvang, and today's visit was dedicated to Mortensen's since last time we visited Solvang, they had run out of danishes :') This bakery has plenty of seating areas whether it's indoors or outdoors, you'll be able to enjoy your pastries one way or another! I had gotten a cinnamon danish (SO GOOD), custard puff, apple strudel, and other danish that I don't remember the flavor of. All of which were pretty tasty and VERY filling. In total, I had paid about $30 for the 4 pastries which wasn't too bad considering the Custard Puff was about $9 and HUGE. I think I'd come back and try their other pastries, but definitely gotta visit before 4:30pm as they close at 5pm and didn't have a lot of options but that's a given.

One of many bakeries I'm this town. But each has something slightly different. The staff is friendly amd helpful

Every time I visit Solvang, Mortensen's Danish Bakery is a must!!! I have tried some of their pastries which are all delicious. I haven't had any not so great ones. But what I love most are their butter cookies that come in a bucket... it is priced a bit high IMHO, but it doesn't stop me from buying them LOL. Life is too short to not eat the best butter cookies ever. OMG... they are so very good!!! I can taste the butter LOL. I can't just have one... gotta have several in one sitting. It is a decent size bakery with indoor and outdoor seating. Love the exterior look of it... very quaint and pretty. Lines are usually very long so please be patient. Trust me, it's worth the wait. I've been to other bakeries in Solvang and no one compares to Mortensen's. They do close early in the evening so get here sooner than later. I was the last customer for the day. The nice and friendly lady behind the counter was so kind and gracious to gift me some pastries since I was a big customer buying 4 buckets of their butter cookies. Yes, you read right... 4 big ones LOL! I should have gotten 8 buckets LOL!! I may have to do that next time... you know I will LOL. Thank you so much miss for your generosity. I appreciate you. It turns out she is one of three sisters who runs the bakery. Btw, if you buy 3 buckets, you get a discounted rate. If you buy more than 3 buckets, you get even more of a discount. 8 buckets maybe even 9... here I come LOL. It's a family business indeed. I love supporting local businesses like Mortensen's who value good quality baking and sharing it with the world. Thank you Mortensen's! Keep doing what you do best at your craft!! I will see you next time.

Stopped by here today for Pistachio bar and some cream cheese denish pastries. The lady who helped us was friendly. However, we ordered three kinds of pastries and they were packed into one bag. The pastries ended up tastes all the same when we got to eat them. We should have asked for separate bags. Sadly, Pistachio bar taste artificial. It was disappointing. The green color does not look authentic. The bar itself doesn't taste that bad but it's not the Pistachio flavor you would normally taste in dessert. We ordered 2 Pistachio bars, 1 cream cheese denish, 2 small cookies, and paid a little over $20. So it's quite pricey. As much as I don't like giving bad review. I rather write an honest review. The service, the dessert display are great here. There are many pastries to choose from. Overall, it's a good place to visit when visiting Salvang.

12/30/23 Just an update on this business for mainly their Danish butter cookies... Hubby & I have traveled about 3 times this holiday to visit Solvang & it's mostly because we wanted to have a quick getaway AND grab some cookies for loved ones. I never really understood the reason our relatives request these particular cookies from Mortensen (yes, specifically Mortensen's)...until now. On our last trip a few days ago, we just missed this place by a few minutes & ended up getting Olsen's Danish butter cookies instead from a local fudge shop. I tasted them to compare. Pretty good, I thought, not bad. Fast forward to another time when we got 5 buckets of the Mortensen cookies (4 was specifically requested by my aunt and she said, "NOT the other one"). I tasted the Mortensen cookies again and oh my goodness! What a difference! No wonder my relatives request these and the lines are almost always so long for this bakery! So rich & buttery, great flavors. They must use loads of butter lol Now, I get it....

We stopped to get cookies. We love stopping here! You can get a tin of cookies or a bucket. Pastries are delicious! They are busy but the line goes fast. Plenty of seating. Lots of shops nearby to go shopping.

This bakery probably was the most scented of all the bakeries we walked past or into. Rich, sweet notes of butter and baked goods adorned the exterior of the building as we walked by, which easily persuaded me to walk inside! I purchased a bucked of danish butter cookies and gave them out to friends, colleagues and family elements. Everyone, including myself, raved about how good these cookies were! It's definitely worth a stop to pick up a cookie or two (or dozen)!

This is probably my favorite bakery in Solvang. They have a variety of pastries that all look divine. I ended up getting a slice of Napoleon cake and it was sooo good! It had a twist to it and had raspberry preserves in it and that was such a fruity delicious addition to the cake. They're extremely friendly here and the service is fast. They do have tables and chairs inside and outside I believe.

This place felt like a proper tourist trap, and we fell for it. We stopped by Solvang on our road trip, and this bakery smelled so good and the smell drew us in. The staff was very friendly, and we were helped promptly. Unfortunately, while the baked goods looked good, they were less impressive once in the mouth. We ordered an almond bear claw and a blueberry boat. The taste was rather generic, with sweetness but not fragrance. The exterior of the store was cute, but there were empty display cases inside. I don't know whether they're in the middle of redecorating, but it didn't give a good first impression when customers stepped in.

So many bakeries to choose from. I came to Morty's for one thing: to try the pistachio bar. I love all things pistachios. It's a fun size bite. I could do without the chocolate. My better half got a cream cheese Danish and she loved it.

Of course I had to start my trip to Solvang with a coffee and some danish pastries. I admit I went during probably the peak of tourist season, and while the town wasn't super crowded when I first arrived in the morning, this bakery was already bumpin' The cheese danish I had was delicious, I could have had many more. The butter cookies I saved for later that night were still super delicate and tasty as well. It's definitely a little tight in here, and having two separate lines for coffee probably does not help that. Still a lovely place I'll look forward to visiting again next time I'm around

The place is well decorated for the holiday, festive and cute. However, I think this place is a tad overrated. Pricing is really steep. Purchased the Custard puffs, Napoleon, and Cream Cheese Danish for ~$30. Custard Puffs: of the three, this is probably the best. Not too sweet. Has a lot of fluffy cream in the puffs. Napoleon: Steep price. Small piece for ~$10. Very sweet. Should avoid or purchase a drink to chase down the sweetness. Has a crunchy texture. Cream is soft and airy. Cream cheese danish: Not bad. Not that sweet. You can taste the cream cheese but it's not your typical cream cheese that goes on a bagel. Cream is very airy and light. Would taste better if the breading was a bit toast.

The food was SO amazing, you HAVE to order the cinnamon crisp was so delightful that we went back in line and got another one! The cream cheese danish pastry was so flakery and melt in your mouth yummy- we didn't really like the cream cheese part, it was a small block-. I would also recommend the bear claw, very almond-y and flaky and sugary. Make sure you get a bottle of milk or a drink to wash down all of this goodness, a bottle of water just won't do! Ambiance- the inside has some seating, and the line stretches the length of the bakery-however it actually moves very quickly! Maybe 10 minutes from the opposite end to order and pay. There are quite a few tables outside and down the side of the building as well. We had always overlooked this bakery before but never again, we will be back!

Over hyped for sure. The bread i got was very dry and disgusting. I would never go back, it's probably popular cuz there ain't no other bakeries in town. Buhbye

Mortensen Danish Bakery is a charming and authentic bakery located in the heart of town. The display cases are filled with an array of treats, from traditional Danish pastries to cakes and cookies. The staff at Mortensen Danish Bakery are friendly and knowledgeable and always willing to offer recommendations. As recommended, we had the Cream cheese danish, Almond bear claw, Danish butter cookies - they were all fresh, good, and satisfying. Matches perfectly with hot coffee and coco. The bakery provides ample outdoor seating for customers to relax and enjoy the fresh baked goods. Perfect for quick snack on the go, the outdoor seating definitely adds a level of charm to this bakery. So if you are craving for a top notch sweets, Mortensen bakery has you covered!

Had to stop in for cream cheese danish or two. Tried the Cinnamon Crisp. Service is nice. It's clean and well stocked with freshness! Try it!

Traditional danish, bakery, that's been functioning for the last 50 years!! All of their baked goods are baked fresh every day. The bakers come in at 4 AM to start baking. I would recommend coming early to get the most fresh pastries and a cup of coffee of their freshly brewed delicious coffee! It's a great spot for people watching in the town center. It's a charming, quaint, sweet ;) bakery. Service is . Must try the owls eye cookie and apple strudel.

Mortensen's is a Danish bakery nestled in the heart of Solvang. It's been run by the original owners for the past 40 years and is very much a staple in the area. I ordered the pistachio square ($3), raspberry danish ($5), and cream cheese danish ($5). The square had strong pistachio flavors and I liked the chocolate on the outside too. Between the two danishes I liked the raspberry one more, but these two are the most popular pastries per one of the employees. There were so many layers on the pastries and they were flaky and warm. There were tables throughout the interior as well as behind the shop on the outside. You can also order coffee to eat with your pastries. This is a nice spot to visit when you're in the area.

Stopped by as we ate our way through solvang. Free samples of the danish Waffle. Crispy stuffed w/ buttercream and fruit filling. 10/10 bites. Absolutely delicious! Fruit filling was sweet. Plain buttercream danish waffle : 5/5 bites. Delicious flaky crispy puff pastry.

I visited Mortensen's back in 2018 and wanted to check it out again. The service was great and no line that morning. I was hard to decide from all the choices in the display. The Danish waffle was a little messy but pretty yummy. I bought the Delights Tin to get a taste of the different cookies - it was a little expensive for 7 cookies but at least the cookies were good. I got the 48 piece tin of butter cookies for my team and that was a pretty good deal.
