Their most popular items are Olsen’s Almond Custard Kringle, Seven Sisters Butter Rings, Danish Pastries, Pumpernickel Bread, Butter Cookies and Cardamom Bread, just to name a few. They ship anywhere in the continental United States.
Since Bent arrived in California from Denmark in 1970, he has been active in the Solvang Danish community and has been treating thousands of visitors and diners at his bakery & coffee shop to the family recipes of four generations of Olsen Bakers.
Solvang, by the way, is known as the “Danish Capital of America” and means “sunny meadows”.
