What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"We visited Solvang during winter break, and my wife mentioned that Birkholm’s Bakery & Cafe seemed like a famous spot. I ordered a latte, and my wife picked two Danish‑style breads, a pastry, and a cinnamon bun. The breads and pastries tasted good, but the latte didn’t have a strong coffee flavor — it was more milk than espresso. That part definitely needs improvement."
"Birkholm’s Bakery & Cafe is an absolute treat. I stopped in for some assorted Danish pastries and everything I tried was fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. The bear claw was perfectly buttery, the eclair had a rich, smooth filling, and the banana pastry was a standout — light, sweet, and incredibly satisfying. It’s the kind of bakery where you can taste the craftsmanship in every bite. Whether you’re grabbing something quick or sitting down to enjoy your pastry with a coffee, this place delivers. I’d definitely go back for more."
"The pastries were fresh, but far too sweet, even for a bakery. I also ordered a caramel latte, which was extremely sweet. I asked if it could be changed to a regular latte, but Chilo, the barista, responded rudely and said I would have to pay again. When I requested to speak with the manager, the attitude became even worse. They eventually changed the drink, but the behavior was disappointing and not what you expect from a welcoming town like Solvang. Customer service is just as important as the product, and unfortunately, the staff’s attitude negatively affected the experience."
"The cream puff. I wish I could order a bunch and eat them whenever. It was really good. I need to go back and try the other pastries. Had lunch here right after getting to Solvang and my family enjoyed the food. Had a hot pastrami that had some veggies in it and was super light but so flavorful. In the back of the dining area, there's a chalkboard wall that the younger ones liked to draw on while we waited for the food."
"Delicious pastries and coffee, and a very cozy area on the side to sit and enjoy. They primarily have sweet items."
"We stopped off in Solvang on our way back north from Santa Barbara and were recommended by a local to try to Birkholm's as a bakery that is truly good and..."
