Best pastries I’ve had in Seattle. They had outside the norm pastries like a cream cheese and poblano danish which was bomb. Coffee was excellent as well. Parking enforcement in this area is militant though.

My favorite bakery in Seattle. All of the food in fantastic, the coffee tastes great (get the spicy mocha) and everyone who works there couldn't be friendlier. I tell everyone to go here, because Nielsen's is a truly special place

Relaxed authentic bakery with friendly service. Tried the potato and it lived up to the hype. It’s cream puff shell filled with custard and just right amount of sweetness, with a marzipan on top. They also have a good selection of coffee/espresso based drinks.

Tasty cinnamon roll that’s (almost) just like the ones we get back home in Denmark. Not super expensive, but definitely not cheap either. Restrooms and reasonable fast WiFi available. Kind staff.

Went specifically looking for this place since my SO remembers the poppy seed danish from half a decade ago and it was one of the best pastry he's ever had so he wanted to share Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - this pastry shop definitely lives up to his memory and everything we tried was so good!! Poppy Seed Danish (tebirkes) was buttery and flaky with just a hint of sweetness to contrast the savory/nuttiness from the poppy seeds. Boller with a chocolate topping and some custard inside. It reminds me of a milk bread with the lightly sweet flavor and fluffy texture. The coffee was great with this since the acidity helped cut through some of the sweetness Frosnapper was interesting to look at and we though it would be a more savory pastry since it had poppy and sesame seeds. It was flaky, buttery, sweet and crispy from the caramelized bottom, savory from the seeds, and we absolutely loved it. The sesame and caramelization reminds us of Asian sesame sweets but it added a great texture to this bread as well Ambience: 5/5 - cute shop that feels warm and cozy. Someplace we would want to just hang out at. They had a sign outside asking to limit the number of customers in the store for safety Service: 5/5 - super friendly and held a conversation with us while we were making our decision. Ask if you have any questions or want recommendations! Value for price: 5/5 - great food and service and very reasonable price. There's definitely a very good reason why they've been around for so long!

Whoa. These were phenomenal. Only picked up the potato and tosca, but they were both fantastic. The potato was not overtly sweet and the perfect custard consistency. The tosca had an amazing almond paste that went perfectly with the raspberry jam and chocolate dipped on the sides. They also packaged it in the loveliest pink box and strings. I can’t wait to go back!

Love this place! The box feels old fashioned, the food seems robust, and it is. I got the potato and a ginger shortbread. Potato is perfect, the marzipan is just pure almond flavor. The ginger shortbread is ok, not much ginger flavor. Will definitely go again! Staff are friendly as well. Wish I could get a to go menu but they don’t have any.

An absolute lovely place for a coffee & Danish pastry. Helpful staff and everything is SO good. Lovely atmosphere with books, comfy chairs, music, and it is below street level which makes it even more cozy to me. During our trip to Seattle we started every day here after finding it down the street from our hotel and it became our absolute favorite part of the trip.
