A Danish Modern Bakery

We bake like bakeries in contemporary Denmark.
All breads and pastries are freshly baked every day; no bake offs and no “baked by others” – no exceptions.

• All the owners of our bakery, since our beginning in 1960, have been born in Denmark.
• Danish educated baker. Both our Founder and our current Bakery Chef have the Danish Baker’s “Svendebrev”-degree.
• Danish tradition baked in a modern way.
• Danish quality – we aim to find the best ingredients on par with or exceeding quality used in Denmark.
• MADE IN SOLVANG – All our bread, pastries, confectionary cakes and cookies are baked by us right here in our bakery. We will not compromise!

Bob’s Well Bread was started by an executive-turned-baker who was looking for some balance in his life, and found a passion and a new calling that was both delightful and unexpected. When you make something naturally, and with your hands, there’s a magic to it. If you’re eating a loaf of bread, or drinking a bottle of wine, and you know that someone has made it by hand, there’s just this personal connection. It may not change the way it tastes, but it changes your experience, and that’s what everyone wants – the experience.

Our artisan breads are made by hand, in small batches, in a custom-built, stone-deck oven. True artisan bread is made from the simplest of ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast. With a natural fermentation process, these most basic of ingredients become something that is fundamentally beyond their basic origins.

We hope you enjoy Bob’s Well Bread.

Being a family-owned and operated business, at Birkholm’s Bakery, we’re able to offer you that personal touch you’ve been looking for. Our goal is to make all of our customers happy. We look forward to hearing from you.

The baking and pastry skills passed from generation to generation for over 60 years at Birkholm’s Bakery.

In 1980, Carl Jr. and Elizabeth Birkholm stepped in to carry on the tradition of baking in Solvang.  Carl continues to use the original Danish recipes that “Cookie” brought over from Denmark.

Now son, Thomas is the 3rd generation of bakers in Solvang.
