BREAD MENU
Denmark is known for its time-honored baking traditions. This is both shown in the way all our breads visually are presented and most important in the taste and texture of all our breads. Our menu includes sourdough loaves, danish rye breads and our whole grain breads.
We are very proud to bring Danish baking traditions all the way from Denmark to New York City. We love bread and Danish pastries and therefore we have selected our favorites for you. We think you would enjoy our sourdough loaves or our classic breads like the skagen, or the ølander. If you are a bit more adventurous we really recommend our Danish rye bread which takes three days to produce and uses sourdough to rise and give taste.
If you are looking for something sweet then you should try our classic Danish pastries that are hand-crafted in the old way of baking and this will secure the perfect texture, and the authentic taste that Danes have come to expect from Ole & Steen. Try our signature pastries in Midtown East Manhattan we promise that you won't regret.
