Why did so many Danes end up in California? Whatever the reason, it was a lucky break for Californians. This place has been around for over sixty years. Looks like they have some pretty tasty stuff, which might account for that.
Olsen's Danish Village Bakery

As best I can tell this is strictly a mail order business, but they seem to have a full line of nice Danish baked goods. The best part is that the owner seems to be a Danish dude named Bent Olsen. I have a cousin by that name in Danmark, but I don't think he's a baker.
