Oh hell yea! Totally glad we had this on our list to try while visiting the area. You can smell the bakery wafting in the air down the sidewalk. Stopped by midday, wasn't much of a line, so we were able to take a look and decide our game plan. We wanted a lot of items, but we decided to get the Maple Doughboy, Custard Filled, Apple Fritter and the Swedish Almond Pastry. All were so good, fresh, and perfect softness and nice outside texture. Didn't taste like generic donuts from the grocery store and not overly sweet. Staff was very efficient, helpful and quick to bag it up and get you all rung up. Prices were good so you can buy a bunch of items. My kind of bakery, you can tell why they've been in business for over 50 years! Worth coming by to check out when in town.
There was a line formed outside the door. Took some Time getting inside to order. Plenty to chooses from and nice people to serve you behind the counter. You can only get these rolls pictured in a pack. A variety of breads on the racks. I thought the tv showing work done in the back was interesting. It's quite the place and worth the wait or stop in. We parked a couple blocks away at the park because there was no parking available near the entrance.
Apparently this place often has a long line, but on a rainy Friday evening we lucked out! We got a glazed doughboy and two Santa smiley cookies for the girls. The staff was friendly, helpful, and quick. The treats were delicious and the price was right. I'd love to go back and try more!
So. Many. Tasty. Treats! The amount of sweet treats is overwhelming. The staff are exceptional. They also offer breads but get there early to be sure to get what yu want is still in stock. Pubic parking lot nearby. Stop in and pick up what calls to you. So much yumminess.
You'd wanna get there before 1 pm to score their Viking cups. We missed it because we reached around 2 pm. They always have lines, especially on weekends. Love their donuts! The classic glazed, raspberry filled, custard filled and cream filled - enjoyed them all! The apricot and raspberry shortbread cookies were delicious too! I also bought their black bread, it's mildly sweet bread, great with butter (a little on the dry side). In the photo below is a plain Rosette, it's fried and has no sweetness ( I would probably recommend trying the powdered sugar one instead) I wasn't a fan of this. I absolutely enjoyed eating the donuts though. The bakery is old school and you'd be tempted to try a lot of things
Cute spot in downtown Poulsbo. There was always a line, so put your patient pants on. EVERYTHING we got was delicious. I got the Viking Cup (as per SO many reviews), my husband got the fruit roll and the date coconut macaroon. Honestly, the coconut date macaroon was our favorite, followed by the fruit roll, and then the Viking cup. I truly wasn't super impressed with the Viking Cup, but also, we don't like SUPER sweet stuff, and boy that Viking Cup is SWEET. I would totally come back to try other things. Like their bread, or cakes, etc. I wish there was a place to sit to enjoy the treats. But you just pick up your stuff and go.
Wonderful stop while visiting the historic Norwegian town of Poulsbo! Loved the bronze pretzel door handles on the outside and inside of the main door. So cool! Service is slow but friendly. We ended up purchasing a loaf of their cinnamon apple bread, viking cup, raspberry spritz, powdered rosette, and lemon ribbon cookie. Everything was yummy and fresh. Highly recommend stopping while visiting the area.
Constant line that moves fast. Great selection of pastries, including donuts and breads. Number of cookies. A few cakes in the case. Do yourself a favor and get the Viking cup with cream cheese. It's a cinnamon roll like pastry and so decadent and good. Ambiance is a grab and go place. No inside seating. NO GLUTEN FREE options which is disappointing but also I understand.
I love everything about this place I always grab a donut and it's always always always fantastic! The service is always quick and the staff is always helpful and knowledgeable I also tried the cinnamon swirl (not the cinnamon roll since that had raisins) and it was soooooo good. They also had cinnamon sugar donut holes which are great for sharing nice small bites. We also got some lefse and yummmm so good warmed up with some butter and cinnamon sugar The shop itself is a cool large window shop with lots and lots of display cases, wooden floors but no seating and the line is usually out the door but it does move fairly fast
