Reviews Polar Bakery

I was blown away by this little hole in the wall bakery shop. The service was extremely friendly and informative, the owner offering samples of various items while explaining their significance in Swedish Culture. They make everything fresh with no preservatives and the flavor only benefits as a result, everything I tasted was magnificent, and what I purchased was even more fantastic. The cheesecake was flavorful but light, not overpowering and simple, with just some chocolate on the edge and a couple fresh raspberries to compliment. One of the diamonds in the rough, I think was the passionfruit beignet. While checking out at the register I heard the lady mention them to another couple in the bakery saying they had them for only 75 cents. My ears instantly perked up at the flavor combination So I just could not pass it up, and I very thankfully purchased one. I have no idea why, but that flavor combination was something special.

I always make the effort to visit here when I'm in town. However, selection was down, no coffee was available, and simple service was very slow. The clerk had a bad interaction with prior customer, so sorry that happened. I wonder if more training would be helpful to build confidence and smooth things out. The customers behind me also were becoming impatient...work on solutions to keep customers coming back for good pastries 🍰 and good service.

Unlike any other bakery in the area. Everything is authentic Scandinavian. They also have some imported grocery and refrigerated items. The lovely young lady up front is very willing to explain the selections in great detail. There are two small tables inside and two outside under a covered patio. I tried a pastry called Budapest and had excellent espresso. I brought home a bottle of mixed drink concentrate.
