Taste of Scandinavia Bakery & Cafe

My boyfriend and I saw about this place on social media and decided to try it out, and it did not disappoint. I got the Swedish lefse breakfast, he got the Swedish omelet, and we split the Swedish pancakes- all delicious! The staff went out of their way to be courteous. It was a little crowded, but that is to be expected on a Sunday morning. It can be especially fun if you are of Nordic heritage and would like to share with others- there are lots of fun items to discuss. Definitely a new favorite for us!

Tasty and delicious place! A variety of items to choose from. When I'm feeling hungry I'll opt for one of the seasonal breakfast items. Otherwise I'll grab a pastry or two to share. Be sure to arrive early for the best selection of pastry items.

The staff is also very friendly and the place is clean and a perfect spot to meet a friend.

I will also mention that this is one of the best places to grab a cake for a celebration as well

Walking in, this place has a nice vibe. They have a variety of food items you can purchase to take home. (soup, pastries, cakes, etc.) When I've been there in the mornings they have large portioned pastry samples to try. We usually grab a sample after we order our food. Looking at the menu I usually feel like the food costs more than I would want to spend on breakfast. ($8-$10) However, when the food comes out I quickly forget about the price. The plate sizes aren't huge but I've always really enjoyed what I've ordered. The fresh fruit crepe... oh my goodness that was happy experience. All in all I'm really happy Taste of Scandinavia is in our neighborhood for an easy and delicious morning breakfast.

Possibly one of the best in the world bakeries. Cookie fans will love the monster cookie, it always sells out. I would like to see a combination of TOS' Monster Cookie and Panera's Kitchen Sink Cookie.

Food was good and it came out really fast. Bakery items look so delicious

What a great experience the food was fantastic and the service was awesome. My friend asked them to customize a oder and they went out of their way to customize it. Wow what a truly awesome location to eat.

I love this place! If you like lefse, macaroons, pastries, cakes, or just want breakfast or lunch, this is the place to go. Try the Chocolate Crinkles Cookies! They're delicious!

We all LOVED the small Celebration Cake. So light and just sweet enough. 😋 I have also had their breads and cookies. I will be back to the Little Canada location again!

Nice lil quaint place that I should have noticed a long time ago! My go to is the farmer’s skillet with a side of that meatball gravy...just the best I live across the street and it’s hard to make it out of the parking lot just good ole deliciousness 🥰

These guys are great! Always love the food, plenty of options for breakfast/lunch/pastries, and awesome people behind the counter.

I absolutely love their food and the atmosphere was hands down this morning. The young man at the counter is amazing. You could be feeling down and he will put a smile on your face. His momma raised him right. I made sure to tell him to let his mom know how great he is. He greeted all the customers made your experience personal. He’s a gem. Keep him around. Personality, kindness and attentiveness go a long way. Keep it up young man.

Everything is good but the Best is Mack.
What a joy he is.....always always makes you feel special...
He is the biggest "treat" of all.
Thank you for him

We chose to order our Christmas Dinner from TOS which was an EXCELLENT choice. I could not have purchased the groceries for such a meal for less than $200, and my culinary skills could never match the quality of TASTE. True confession -- Dec 23rd we served early Christmas dinner to unplanned family visitors with small children. They didn't expect anything, but it was such a TREAT for ME to provide truly delicious food that included SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

If your looking for a meal that feels and tastes home made, this is it. Scandinavian food with lots of pasteries. No wait staff. Order they bring it to you. You clean up. The feeling of the place is very comforting.

Can’t go wrong stopping here for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Fantastic food! The desserts-stop anytime and enjoy Bailey Cake or Strawberry torte! OR one of each!!!

Yes they have wonderful food, great house salad, great meat pasties, and wonderful barbecue burger... but what you really go for it the bakery and the Bakers. The baker was able to pull off a Tron themed cupcake for a 5 year old's birthday party. Its 2017 how obscure is that? We were only going to buy a couple dozen cupcakes and they offered to do a taste test. Of course we accepted and it was awesome. The cupcakes turned out wonderfully. So great food , great bakery items (particularly the kringles :) awesome and talented Baker , and great management. Thanks TOS!

Casual setting with really top notch food! Friendly staff. Great prices for the quality of food.

This is in responses to Shell Pavlik’s review.
The deluxe sandwich does not come with 3 different types of meat on 1 sandwich. It’s listed as Ham (COMMA), Roast Beef (COMMA), Turkey (COMMA), or veggie. This is a list of CHOICES not all 3 on 1 sandwich, as a “Food Critic” I would think you would know how to read a menu. Did I know you or your friend came up to the counter again and order the SAME THING? No, as food critic you would think you would want to try different things off the menu to have your own opinion. Yes was I walking around trying to find table number 11 instead 30? yes because you didn’t have the proper table number so of course I was looking for a different costumer, and didn’t I apologize after the misunderstanding? Yes I did. For as long as I’ve worked here I never had someone write a bad review about me because you or your friend can’t read the menu correctly or have human decency to understand there was a misunderstanding. As for the staff that works there that young man with glasses and I are the best employees they have.

P.s I never charged you for the pop either so you got something free out of it.

My first visit here was very recent - January 2023. I found the staff very friendly - they will bring your food to the table for dine in - and then came to clean the table after we were done eating, but still talking. Nice service.

Food was fantastic and full of flavor.

I will definitely be back.

Great food, I look forward to stopping here when driving to the Cities!
