Mortenson's Bakery - Solvang

You can't go to Solvang and not try something baked. But choose wisely because not all bakeries are created equal.

The Chocolate Rum Ball, for example, is definitely a bit of a miss. Chocolate is great, but the rum doesn't make it better, and the texture is definitely a bit like Playdoh.

The Danish Waffle is better, much better. Crunchy puff pastry sandwiching light, sweet cream is hard to diss, but it doesn't really make waves so it's easy to dismiss.

Mortenson's Bakery wasn't all I'd hoped for, but I suppose it was enough. I just wish that the vibrant storefront wasn't just a cover for a space that was so sterile and sad.
