Olsen Bake Shop — Restaurant in Omaha

I wanted to buy doughnuts for the workplace and big-chain superstores aren't good for everything - I wanted real, home style quality that you get from Mom an Pop places. I found this on the map and though no times are posted on the door, I showed up a bit before 7 am. A little after 7 am I was about to leave worried about finding somewhere else when another gentleman pulled up and said they normally open up about 7:15 am. Business happens when the fresh doughnuts decide to be ready. I waited a couple more minutes and the door opened as the red neon open sign started glowing. I was not disappointed. The staff knew the locals who started flowing in, the owner (Mrs. Olsen) stopped and talked a while with us. Her grandparents and parents passed the shop on to her and the place has been a bakery since 1906. This is a small piece of history! The doughnuts were a hit at work - they just melted in our mouths and the compliments wouldn't stop. You have to go try this place and thumb your nose at the big box stores posing as bakeries. This is the real deal and sadly these places are disappearing from our society. ...

Yep, you did it. You have followed your nose to the right place. Those sweet smells are of the decadent delights that await you behind that door. Step through and find a couple ladies ready to help you that were as sweet as the doughnuts. I found my way into a cheese Danish(10/10 would eat again)and what I thought was a run of the mill maple long john, well I was severely mistaken. Bite one, pillowy soft and maplelicious, as expected, but bite two is where things got interesting, what to my taste buds delight was that new flavor? Yep, you guessed it it was not only an exceptionally well baked long john with a maple glaze that tasted as fresh as if the syrup was flown in by William Shatner from his secluded sugar shack in the Canadian wilderness that morning, IT WAS FILLED WITH CREAM TOO! Word to the wise, only bring a couple bucks, it will help you limit how much of these baked delights you can buy. Well worth the drive, even if you are...

I had the worst customer service experience at this bakery today!! They advertise that they open at 730. I waited outside, with several others, past 730 and they still were not open. I called and asked if they were open today and received THE most rude reply, she said “eventually”. Like timelines and patronage doesn’t matter. She went on to tell me it would be “more like 8:00”. Most people work and are on a schedule ourselves.. I told her there there were several people lined up in the cold and rain (and yes waiting was our own choice) and her reply was “there’s always a line”. They have been in business YEARS and it’s sad they can’t open their doors on time, the rest of us have to be on time for work. I will never be going back because their attitude was basically there are plenty of customers, she didn’t even kind of care she had a...
