Danish Pastry House — Restaurant in Oakville

Great pastries, as always, but lacking in many other very important respects which is why they get only 3 stars. Service was friendly, however the complete inability to make any of the sandwiches offered on large menu boards due to a complete lack of cheese & smoked salmon continues to be a disappointment. The server’s inability to realize this was disappointing. Shouldn’t he know what is in stock? Why advertise these sandwiches if your staff aren’t given the ingredients to make them? How can any cafe offering Danish sandwiches not stock sufficient quantities of 2 very necessary items? How is it that they didn’t notice the large grocery store sharing the plaza and go purchase some havarti, esrom, & smoked salmon? Anyone else can, unless ownership is micro-managing locations thereby preventing them from being able to offer the advertised products? We have also noticed a complete lack of the marzipan stykke in the past several months. A Danish bakery repeatedly lacking in these lovely sample size of the very Danish kranzekage might wish to reconsider just how hygge they truly are. Please spend some $$$ & install the necessary equipment to push a button to open the door. Fortunately, I was not alone & I didn’t have to attempt to balance with 2 canes while pulling or pushing a door to enter or exit. Other people living with disabilities may not have that luxury. If the burger place in the same plaza can do it, why can’t you? These deficiencies will be your downfall. I’m glad to see you expanding, but please invest in your current...

Before I knew it I ended up eating half of everything and probably would have devoured the whole thing myself! While I personally felt the pastries with fruit glaze on them were a bit on the sweet side, my husband's sweet tooth loved them. I found everything else to be pleasantly balanced. Moreover, both my husband and I agreed that the pastries were light and crisp. The way pastries should be, but never are.

The breads were wonderful, both their sandwich breads and their traditional dense breads. We also felt the price point was excellent when compared to a chain bakery or a high end grocer's bakery. We quickly decided to make this our go to place.

As a side note, the lady who was manning the store was excellent at helping me navigate the foreign names and styles of the breads and pastries. I explained I was new to the world of Danish breads and pastries, what types of American style baked goods we traditionally consumed and she pointed me in the...
