Ole & Steen

The light skin Spanish male barista with a mullet cut that’s on bar this Friday is rude, and this is after spending $40 and tipping. I simply asked for confirmation on drinks, if you don’t like your job and having to answer questions maybe you shouldn’t be in this profession. It’s basic customer service.

Corporate / high-volume vibe. They use Eversys machines for their espresso drinks, so expect consistency, not artisanship or craft.

Ole and Steen have a great product most of the time and the service of the staff is excellent. But the heated pastries cheese and ham croissant etc are just wrong. Too oily, too much fat in the filo pastry, just not right. I through away mine after the first then second bite. The scones are significantly better, quality and texture and taste. The coffee is good and the staff are great.

Stopped here for a quick coffee and croissant. The coffee was solid, but the almond and raspberry croissant was definitely the highlight. A great spot to swing by if you’re in the area, and it also works well as a place to sit down and get some work done.

A popular Danish bakery, and while my experience was mostly enjoyable, there were a few mixed moments. I tried the Cinnamon Swirl which I had high hopes for, given the bakery's reputation. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. The swirl looked beautiful with its golden brown layers and cinnamon sugar dusting, but the texture was noticeably dry. It lacked the moist, buttery richness that I was expecting from such a pastry, which made it somewhat underwhelming. However, what redeemed the visit was the Vanilla Cream Cheese Spandauer - an absolute must-try. This was light, flaky layers filled with smooth, rich vanilla cream cheese. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, and the creaminess paired wonderfully with the crisp pastry shell. It was indulgent without being overly sweet, and I would come back just for this alone. The bakery itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere with a wide range of tempting pastries and sandwiches. Entrance faces south east and it is wheelchair accessible. Clean restrooms. In conclusion, while my experience didn’t quite hit the mark for me, I would still recommend this place for anyone seeking quality baked goods. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their offerings!
