As the seasons change, so do the tantalizing treats that grace the shelves of our beloved coffeehouse. Step into the OH Danish Bakery with me, and let’s embark on a captivating culinary journey through the flavors that capture the essence of each passing month.
Honoring Our Danish-American Heritage
Our bakery’s roots stretch deep into the rich tapestry of Danish-American culture. For over a century, the Olesen family has proudly carried on the traditions passed down through generations, weaving the flavors of their heritage into every delectable creation.
It all began when Anton Olesen, a Danish immigrant seeking new opportunities, arrived in America with his six children in tow. His son, Christian Olesen, would later open the first OH Danish Bakery in 1949, setting the stage for a legacy that continues to this day.
Through the iconic Kringle, a beloved pastry that has become synonymous with our bakery, we celebrate the seamless blend of Danish and American influences. As the Wisconsin State Pastry, the Kringle embodies the journey of Danish-Americans, blending tradition and innovation to craft a culinary legacy that delights the senses.
