Scandinavian bakery and doughnut shop. These sweets don't age too well , so order whatever's fresh. The jam doughnuts are very good.
Kringle is dense and delicious. Raspberry > apricot . Pecan ring is a light, yeasty cake that goes well with coffee
Best Jam Doughnut : Lightly dusted in powdered sugar , this baby oozes an excellent sweet-tart housemade raspberry jam , hugged by a yeasty , even-crumbed interior. Read more
The ever popular black and white cookie is always available. When I asked about marzipan cake , counter girl had no idea what I was talking about. Hopefully the selection will expand soon!

Check in on yelp for 2 pounds of cookies for 20$. Though they didn't seem happy to redeem it...
Great bakery good options
