Olsen's Danish Village Bakery - Solvang, CA

A little late-evening excursion brings us to the indulgence of Olsen's for some sweets. 


We start simply with a Cinnamon Crisp, a flat spiral of fluffy fried pastry, light and covered with a layer of cinnamon sugar dust. There are so many choices it's hard to get just a few, but this frisbee-sized dessert can feed a whole family. 


The crisp can be a bit much, but this Florentine made us fight. That ooey-gooey caramelized base is covered with a rich layer of chocolate, a giant disc of toddler delight. Too much sugar for someone so small so be prepared to break off a piece and hide the rest or take giant bites fast to get to it first. 

A great start to a lovely trip, but I don't think I can accurately judge. There are so many bakeries in Solvang, and I don't know enough about the Danish to decide which one is best. I did like Olsen's, though, so I'd gladly come back for something else, maybe a Danish or a kringle.
