Berolina Bakery & Pastry Shop

SWEDEN ????????
Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:
Despite being around since the 1960's, it was in 1991 that Berolina Bakery & Pastry Shop switched to its current ownership, a married team with roots in Stockholm, Sweden and Antwerp, Belgium. The couple had met in California four years prior to this and moved to Sweden together, but came back and transformed their new purchase into the European baking specialist it is today.

Overlooking a section of Verdugo Road in the northern foothills of Glendale, the bakery has the feeling of belonging to a bohemian town many miles away from the big city. Groups of cyclists and outdoor types roll in with all their equipment and take a break, enjoying the pleasant outdoor seating especially during months that are not blazing hot.

Come in the morning to take advantage of their breakfast sets, of which the simple Scandinavian breakfast ($7.50) provides the best sense of transport to your friend's cabin in the woods outside of Stockholm. It comes with coffee and very fresh orange juice, a bread roll and Danish of your choice, and slices of havarti cheese. The poppy seed roll pairs nicely with the cheese, and the coffee is surprisingly good for a Swedish café. The Danish is just as light and delicious as the cinnamon roll, and for the price the set is quite a steal.

Wow, above and beyond all expectations! I go to Shreiners next door all the time and see the line from Berolinas so when I was there the other day I thought I should check it out and now I understand why they are so popular. I just got a couple things to try, the florentine roll, wow, I love florentine cookies so I was already excited but when I bit into this, I was blown away with the cream filling, amazing! I also got a slice of the crack pie, hahaha oh my God, the guy that was helping me when I asked what this was, his response was something like, "the best thing you'll ever taste," and he wasn't exaggerating! It was/is simply mind blowing, out of this world! I also picked up an olive loaf of bread, again incredible, I feel like it's one of the top olive loaves I've ever had! I'll be back there this week to stock up on my pastry and bread cravings for sure!

Berolina Bakery is a yummy place. Big selection of delicious pastries and more. I go often. I highly recommend.

I love this sweet little bakery. I mainly come for their princess cake. It's amazing delicious and fresh.

So happy I found this little Bakery shop! One tip - you need to take a number in order to get served. I did not know this and was just waiting. Luckily a very sweet patron let me order, even without a number.

Everything is delicious here and the coffee is tops. I can't wait to try all the different types of breads. The service is wonderful and the location has some really nice outdoor seating for you to enjoy your lovely baked treats.

You can tell by the delicious aroma when you enter that this is a top notch spot.

Thanks Berolina! Can't wait to visit again!
