Taste of Denmark

Wonderful place with a LARGE assortment of pastries, sweets and other baked goods. No way I’ve sampled even a tenth of what they offer - my belly would be far larger and my cardiologist much richer - but so far everything has been fantastic. Great folks working behind the counters, very attentive and move the line along quickly. A few tables inside and 6-7 outside under the overhang. Don’t miss this place!

This place is a hidden Gem! The bakery is top teir and finding out that it supports it's community is such a blessing. The bred is amazing! Pastries and baked goods are incredible! And the coffee is perfect! Don't waste your time wondering is you should come in or not... just come and enjoy the confectionery.

I was really looking forward to trying this place after reading all the great reviews, but it just didn’t live up to the hype for me. The selection was pretty limited, and the biggest issue was the taste—everything was way too sweet. I got two boxes of different pastries, and honestly, the sugar completely overpowered any real flavor. If they toned it down a bit, the pastries could actually be somewhat decent

Always a great experience! Ordering the pastry online was easy and efficient. Picking up was more difficult...in that there were dozens of beautiful items begging to be admired and eaten!

I absolutely love this morning treat place. The food was fantastic, The danishes are fantastic the almond bar was out of this world in the coffee was delicious. Oh yeah almost forgot The cinnamon roll was like nothing I've ever had and the apple fritter was like nothing I've never had, fantastic. I'm sorry to say I ate everything and there are no photos.

These are the best pastries we've had in the US by far! The food is amazing and the staff is friendly. One of our favorite weekend spots for a treat and we always take our friends and family when they visit. Can't reccomend enough!

This is such a cute bakery that is filled with so many amazing delights. The bakery cases are full of "ooo, what is that" pastries and "we gotta get one of those" cookies. Everything we decided on was amazing (giant coconut macaroon, apricot danish, massive raspberry cream puff, French waffle, blueberry mini pie). And there were loads of temptations that we left for our next visit. Plus, we got the chance to see a very impressive and delectable Princess Tart Cake that was being picked up by another customer (I believe this cake needs to be ordered 24+ hours in advance).

A hidden Gem. Great baked goods and beautiful custom cakes. The French bread is also delicious.

Getting food from here is such a special treat. I do live very close to this establishment, but I don't get a chance to go too often. My all-time favorite is the cherry strudel. If you have never had it, I suggest you get it for you and your family. Service here is very fast. I thought I would have to wait for a while, but that is not true. The ambulance is small, and could be crowded. However, you can get your treats and get out of the store pretty quick.

We have been here a couple of times and both times were excellent. We didn't make any effort to get there right when they open and their inventory seemed to be quite complete, even though the place is very popular. That's not to say that they will not run out of things, but both times we have come in the morning, the cases were full and the bakery racks were stocked: I think they know how much they usually sell and plan accordingly. The place is small inside, but they have plenty of staff working to help customers. They're friendly, efficient and patient. There are a few patio tables with a few seats, so you can grab a pastry and coffee then sit on the patio to enjoy it. If you're like me, you can go back in and order more to go :) This time, "for here," I had one of the beehives (I think that is what it was called -- a pastry with cinnamon filling, covered in honey like a "bowtie" dessert I remember as a kid at a Chinese restaurant. I love both honey and cinnamon, so this was a perfect choice for me. The pastry probably started out flaky though the honey soaks into it and it is more pull-apart and sticky. Definitely get some napkins because there is no way that this is not messy. I took one of the big pretzel-shaped almond kringles to go and everyone who shared that the next morning said is was great. Theirs is lighter than many I have had before, but still very flavorful. I will definitely be back!

Great pastry! I had an eclair type thing this last time that has been haunting me with its deliciousness. They were super busy when we showed up which was a bit overwhelming in their small shop, but they do a tremendous job of moving the line and taking care of everyone.

Delicious way to start the day with an almond bear claw and a cup of coffee! Walking in the door you are hit with the best of bakery smells and the best claw had the lightest fluffiest pastry that just melted in my mouth. Drove halfway across Denver to get here and it was totally worth it. Yummmm!

Hard not to say "one of everything please." Covered outdoor open air seating to enjoy your treats right away.

Such a cute shop! Lots to offer. The folks behind the counter were super friendly. The do have a large whiteboard menu but I wish the cases were labeled as well so customers do not need to point and ask what everything is.

I had stopped by a few weeks ago, and there was a line forming before they opened. I was greeted by the staff who were incredibly nice! Plenty of seating outside and inside, restroom conveniently located in the corner of the cafe. I travel a lot for work and this was requested. Honestly the best sweets I have ever had in my whole life! Highly recommend! 10/10, wish I got a picture, but next time I will!

Please be conscientious it is the Holidays! The Taste of Denmark is very special and SUPER BUSY, laugh off these type of moments. This past week, I had to order $52.00 for my car's mechanics, Midas on Broadway, and one gentleman has 3 little girls. I ordered for the entire group of men and especially for his family some Rum Balls (yummy mouse chocolate) plus some petite cheesecake. "I do not approve of buying Rum Balls for children" was a retort I heard. Laugh this moment off Please. Taste of Denmark is super super busy, sometimes employees are overworked and say things we must not pay attention to!! This place is awesome Please note! Friday through Sunday during Holidays they are lines to get in, meandering people inside, some drooling, some a bit huffy due to this is a True European Pastry - Natural Breads and more place. Come back after the holidays if some statements twist a bit hahahahahahahah I get the giggles!!!! And RUM BALLS are incredible for everyone!!

I came in and picked up 2 cream puffs that I have bought for years. These were different and mostly custard with very little cream. I called and was told they make them with cream and custard. I said I know this, but these had very little cream. I was told over and over no this is how we make them. When I said you are not listening to me I was told I am being rude. Then she said she is the owner and if I don't like them I shouldn't t buy them. I was in a shock as a long term customer to be talked to this way and no offer to replace them or make it right. I know customer service is lacking these days. but to lose a customer like this is ridiculous. They are the rude, I am the buying customer. Update*. I called 3 times as I was hung up on or the call dropped. I explained over and over I understand HOW they are made, but mine has little cream this time and was different than the standard. I was not being listened to. Only told over and over this is how we make them. The ones I received were not normal. This is not a big ticket item. I SHOULD have been told "sorry, we can give you 2 replacements if you want to come back." Instead I was told if you don't like them don't come back. To lose business and have a bad review posted over 2 cream puffs that were different then what is standard is incredibly bad customer service and honestly plain stupid. Their arrogance over their product is ridiculous. I have gone there for decades when I knew the former owner Ronny, who would not have done business this way.

Wow! All the pastries were delicious, but the croissants were insane! Great amount of ham inside and somehow still soft and buttery even when no longer warm? The staff was friendly and helpful. I reccomend!

Their bakery goods are well worth the price, such a large selection to choose from! They also have coffees & teas . Service is fabulous, very helpful We always make it a point o go here when in town!!! A must for all

I had this about a month ago and everything was delicious, I had a variety box and I'll definitely be back for more. The service was great and the place had a relaxing ambiance.

Amazing bakery. Ham and cheese croissant was delicious and anything you get sweet is going to be dangerous because you're gonna want three of them.

Can't get enough! Absolutely love this bakery!! The service is incredible - every single day! I love sitting outside and eating our yummy pastries! Everytime my daughter and I visit we try something new and it is always so delish! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

My friend Steve turned me on to this place. The line was long but went quickly. The lady in front of me spent over $160.00. Everything was insanely delicious!

Super amazing bakery. Never knew this place has been here. Cute patio. Definitely a must try. Very friendly and quick service. Be prepared for a little bit of a line as this place is quite popular. They have a wide selection of pastries and other bakery items!

Oh mannnn this place is good. Better than good. Excellent. My fiancé and I just moved to Lakewood and a friend of ours recommended checking out Taste of Denmark. Thank goodness for her. As croissants are my fiancés favorite, I decided to stop by this morning to pick up some for his birthday. I left with two croissants - chocolate and ham & cheese- the almond kringle, a hand apple pie, and a cinni roll. Each bite was better than the next. I highly recommend trying them all and anything else Taste of Denmark has to offer. We definitely hit the jackpot by having this spot in our new neighborhood!

Have not had a single item in this bakery that was less than delicious. Cannot get enough of this place!

This place is great. You might see the croissants, and while they are good (almond is my favorite), the long twisted cinnamon pastries are not to be missed! Also, the variety of danishes should not be overlooked. It looks to be a little converted house with a parking lot in the front that turns over quickly. It is a great spot for those Saturday morning sugar cravings.

This is worth the drive, I live in Centennial but the have lots of different pastries very delicious.

Stop here everyone we go to my uncles house for thanksgiving. Pies and pastries, always a hit!

My mom is Danish. We have traveled to Denmark at least 15 times. The almond weinerbrød (kringle) here is amazing and the most authentic to what I have eaten in Denmark. Earlier this year I went to Racine, WI and did a Danish Kringle tasting tour to several of the famous bakeries, and Taste of Denmark was better than all of them and the most authentic. This place has amazing and knowledgeable staff. Plenty of parking A wide variety of pastries including gluten free options I highly recommend this place. The Danes make excellent food...especially pastries.

This is such an amazing little gem in the neighborhood. Ham and cheese croissant with jalapeño is my favorite breakfast.

This place still satisfies! It feels like things have changed a bit since the pre-COVID days when it was a solid 6 stars--back when the croissants were packed with more meat and cheese. Still, it's better than most spots around.

I have never had a bad experience. The apricot danish had real pieces of tart and juicy fruit. The almond and chocolate croissants were absolutely sublime, crisp and soft in the right places. Quality ingredients!!

I'm so happy I could cry. I've been living in Denver for over for years now and have been search for fantastic pastries that aren't just muffins and cookies. My favorite pastries are Argentinean but that's been missing in my life out here and finding Taste of Denmark brings me closer to my favorite. They have quite a pastry selection and their pastries are so fresh and tasty! We couldn't decide pajar to order and ended up with a dozen items. The pastry cream, the cinnamon roll, the apple strudel, my goodness the list goes on which ones were my favorites! Fortunately I visited on their last day before their summer break and now I'm in withdrawal. Can't wait to go back.

Just got back from a fabulous trip to Denmark not too long ago and finding this little gem in the random middle of Denver on my most recent trip here was the best surprise EVER!!!! Asked the owner's son what his favorite ones were in the showcase and of course had to grab one of each that he recommended. Guys, literally, every piece of pastry and cookie in that bakery box was delicious and worth every calorie consumed. I liked that it was none of the baked goods were not American style crazy sweet but just sweet enough like the Danes do it! Eat local! Support local!

A family favorite we've been going to since the union location back in the 00s, with pastries familiar and new. Try the kringle, you'll find a new love for almond paste! My faves are the sesame twists. Go early before they sell out of your new found faves too!

Love this place. Honestly I usually avoid it because I want to but everything. Wanted a nice loaf of bread though so stopped by for that and a couple of treats.

I've been to Denmark and this tastes like what I ate there. Honestly, I think that's the most generous thing I can say. We stayed with friends there and my friend's husband brought home breads and pastries. We ate them and they were incredible. When my friend got home, she scolded her husband for getting the lower quality stuff from the supermarket. If that's low quality, wht do we have here in the US? We did try the stuff she wanted him to get and it was even more incredible and our minds were blown. This was on par with that and I feel that should give you all the information you need to know that you should try this!

I have a hard time driving by without stopping in. Everything I've tried is fantastic. The employees are always friendly and welcoming, making each visit enjoyable. Their new covered patio with great seating is a wonderful addition. Plus, the coffee is great! Highly recommend Taste of Denmark for delicious baked goods and a pleasant atmosphere!

Everything is wonderful, no matter what you order, your tastebuds will thank you. The staff is so helpful and so sweet. One of our favorite places.

The cutest, freshest, most amazing little gem in the Denver area! Such fresh pastries and unique delicious treats. My boyfriend has family from Denmark and loved the nostalgic treats for his birthday. Will definitely be back!

Great pastries. Croissants are top notch - chocolate, Ham and cheese, whichever. Danishes are amazing: they have cherry, blueberry, apple, and raspberry and they're all incredible. Same goes for the cinnamon roll. Employees seems to enjoy working there so seems like they're treated well. Will keep coming back.

I would join this place if it started a religion holy twisted croissant, so so so so so good

Hands down best ever from the pastries and fresh bread to the experience love , love , love everything about this bakery! Miss working and seeing all the daily customers faces! Danielle

Everything is delicious and the customer service is even better, even if you got in MINUTES before closing or come in right after opening. Love this placez

The food is good but very expensive. The staff is friendly. I think adding the patio and the coffee bar will be great for them this summer..

Once again, this place proved it was the "go to" bakery on the west side of town. Not only are the baked goods absolutely wonderful, the staff is friendly and helpful. Not to mention that the building is super clean and well maintained. I enjoy the quaint little outdoor place to eat and drink my coffee. I love stopping in on Sunday mornings and picking something new to try. This small business is a local treat.

Used to be THE BEST danish place. They must've sold it or changed management because the recipes have changed: pastries are tougher now, not as buttery or soft. Like with the chocolate croissants Kinda feels like they use French bread dough because it has the same hard shell feeling as the hard shell of a loaf of French bread; and they're puffed out more like smooth rocks, less like croissants. Ya just really disappointed; this used to be my FAVORITE bakery and now it's just 'eh' at best, no big whoop anymore.

I am so sad to feel so completely ripped off by the kransakage I ordered for my mom's 80th birthday. The minimum size cake they will make is supposed to be for 15 people, $134.25 base price. With tax and tip I paid $160. The cake is tiny and in no way ever could you say it would feed 15 people. It might feed 5 to 6. It's tiny. My mom immigrated from Denmark and I really wanted to get something special but this is not special. What a rip off! I'm very sad as their pastries are good, but I will never ever be a customer of this establishment again. I even begged for 8 rings a ring for each decade and they couldn't even do that. Hopefully my mom will like her tiny cake. I really should not have tipped as this cake isn't even worth $40.

All their pastries are delish!!! I will give 5 stars Customer service. I keep coming back if I'm in Lakewood.

Kørte en god løbetur og blev så sulten. Gik til Taste of Denmark og fik rigtig mange danskere. det var helt fantastisk. Jeg vil helt sikkert spise her igen og igen og igen. Gud velsigne.

Finally went back after a while and it was awesome as always! Great quality stuff that's so tasty! We had the cream puff with caramel apples that was great and I have a huge sweet tooth and love pastries but I really loved the spinach and cheese croissant! It was so flaky and good. I also loved the raspberry chocolate cake with layers of puff pastry and custard cream. The almond twist with poppy seeds and I don't even know what else is our good to that we love a lot! It was pretty busy with a line on a Sunday morning around 11 and they were out of the chocolate croissant but it was still worth going! Highly recommend!

This place is great with a variety of pastry selections with really fast service and nice staff--but it's super overpriced. We paid $25 for 5 pieces. Also--place inside to order is super small and typically overcrowded. Overall- would come back for a special occasion only.

What can I say this place is phenomenal. It a must visit when in the area. Everything is delicious, staff is friendly. There usually a line but it moves fast, don't let that stop you from trying the best bakery in the area. Possibly the best bakery in Colorado

Absolutely love this place - have gone twice now. The husband and wife owners are very kind (they have come out before to speak with us during our meal). The food is delicious and I doubt you will be disappointed by whatever you try. Food takes 15-20min. We have come with our toddler and there are usually only 1-2 tables that are also taken when we are there, but we never worry that we are being too loud compared to other people.

I have always loved a Danish Pastry, literally my experience up until eating them here has been king sooper or safeways. So you can only imagine how blown away I was when I had one here. They are fantastic. Such a treat. I moved into the neighborhood a few years back and drove by it a few times and almost swerved lanes looking at it. As a big King Diamond/Mercyful Fate fan, just seeing a Danish flag and the sign completely mesmerized me. Also a big fan of the pastry. So the first time I came early enough that it was open as all previous times were late in the day after it closed it was, very exciting. It did not disappoint! The normal pastry is my favorite but I've pretty much had all the stuff here from savory to sweet it is all made with love and they are so so amazing and a total treat to yourself. Pop in a grab something, you deserve it.

They made the cake for my engagement. I proposed to my fiance on 26 December 2023 and they did such an amazing job and played such a pivotal role in this engagement. I am forever indebted to Taste of Denmark as they will always hold a special place in my heart! They also have amazing Ham and Cheese and Jalapeno Croissants. 10/10 recommend.
