As best I can tell this is strictly a mail order business, but they seem to have a full line of nice Danish baked goods. The best part is that the owner seems to be a Danish dude named Bent Olsen. I have a cousin by that name in Danmark, but I don't think he's a baker.

What more can you say about a restaurant whose web site has a coupon for one free order of Æbleskivers per table? This place just looks cool, and their menu is amazing.
Not available.

Lutherans know how to make fun of themselves, and there are some cool items here, too. Though not strictly a Scandinavian site, you know and I know that when most folks think of Lutherans, they think of us. Pastor Ken Schaub, an old Lutheran himself, sent
us this link. I can say that because I'm an old Lutheran, too."

Once upon a time Pia's used to be a real brick and mortar store in downtown Anchorage. I had the pleasure of going there a few years back, and meeting Pia. I see from their website that they have closed that location, but they remain in business as an online entity. They still look like they have a nice array of Scandinavian goods."
