Four stars and it would be five if they had a more accessible location. Just fantastic pastries -- my favorite being the kringle. They also have delicious freshly baked breads and a great fresh mozzarella, tomato and proscuitto panini.

Initially opened in Watertown, I've watched this Bakery take off from the start. The freshest ingredients, are the only ingredients! Whatever you try, your taste buds and stomach will overwhelm you with delight! Dieters: This is the ONLY place to cheat with a treat. Hello Kathleen - keep up the great work!

The wide-assortment of goodies available fresh daily are like a trip to Europe. In addition to sweets, quiche and soup, and also Scandinavian juices and candy are offered.

Some can match the quality, but nobody can match the breadth of their pastry offerings. The product looks and tastes precisely like the pastry found in Copenhagen.

Absolutely, sinfully delicious. Also quite unique in their quality and variety. Using only Danish butter makes a difference, too. I never realized how good marzipan can be, either. Turns out the Danish version is quite different from - and MUCH tastier than - the kind I'm familiar with. No comparison.

The owners are wonderful and so helpful. The desserts are amazing and the soups and sandwiches are great too. Plus the Medford location is a great place to enjoy one of their tasty lattes or ice teas. I always use The Danish Pastry House to cater my events b/c I am sure to get compliments on my food choice.

Discovering the Danish Pastry House is the best thing that's happened to me since i moved to Boston. Warm friendly service, great food, delicious delicacies, relaxed atmosphere and somewhere I can feel at home even though I'm a long, long, long way from home.

How do I love The Danish Pastry House? Let me count the ways. First, I've never had anything that I haven't liked, from soups and salads to desserts. Second--the desserts!!! Oh my, the desserts! They're beyond wonderful. One can never be bored, because there are always new and exciting selections. The marzipan that is the base of many of the selections is superb--not the typical cloyingly sweet stuff we usually taste, but much more subtle and wonderful. Third, the staff. They're unfailingly polite, usually really knowledgeable about what's in the desserts (and how to pronounce them!).

Delicious breads & pastries. The 3-seed bread is unusual & excellent -- as good as any fine French bread. The flaky pastries, like the kringle, can't be matched -- if you can manage to save any, they keep beautifully in the fridge; just re-heat & enjoy!

My two daughters and I drove up to the bakery from the south shore after seeing it mentioned on food network and getting a taste of its delicious food at a farmer's market in Boston last summer. We sampled both panini's and crepes for lunch (which were excellent) and some of the wonderful sweet treats for dessert. The "potato" filled with bavarian cream is incredible! We went home with a bag full of kringle, lemon squares (best we've ever tasted) and sweets for the folks at home. The food is incredible here, but the real star is the staff. They are incredibly pleasant and helpful and make this place a gem! We'll definitely take another road trip and visit again.
