Polar Bakery

About

Polar Bakery, in the Shoppes of Atlantis. Scandinavian influenced traditional breads, cakes and pastries and your favorite herring and candy from Sweden, Finland and Norway.

Description

Polar Bakery, family owned Scandinavian bread and pastries for Palm Beach Florida. Carries specialised Scandinavian food and candy.

The bakery was founded in 1981 by Swedes Esbjorn and Ingrid Olsen and has been based in the Shoppes of Atlantis since 2013 where it is now run by Christina Lovquist, whose parents come from Gotland and Skåne and her British husband, Gavin.

Christina, has over 30 years of pastry and catering experience in hotels, such as Hilton and Grand Hyatt, entertainment centers such as Disney and Universal Studios, and private clubs such as Mar-a-Lago and Trump International Golf Club.

Gavin has a business background and provides support to the operation where he can be found on weekends standing behind the counter engaging the patrons in conversation as he bags up orders.

The bread, cakes and pastries are baked on the premises daily. No added preservatives are used.

Being Swedish we could not avoid stocking the essentials of living, such as Leksands knackerbröd, Abba herring, Maribou and Fazer chocolate and candy, Västerbotten and Farmer cheese and many other delights. Our motto is "if IKEA sells it then come to us for the real Swedish brands"

But the bakery is not just about Swedes, we bake several Finnish delicacies, Piirakka and strawberry shortcake, and have the widest selection of Finnish and Norwegian chocolates, plus naturally all types of licorice from Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden.

We can do your wedding cake, your baby shower cake, your christening cake, your anniversary cake, your first birthday cake, your graduation cake and any other celebration cake you can think of! Of course we do Easter cakes, Christmas cakes, St Patrick's Day cakes, Moomin cakes etc.



"Traditional Scandinavian family bakery. Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish breads and pastries and a line of piirakka, pasties, sausage rolls, quiche and empanadas for those who prefer savory items. Missing ABBA, Fazer, Marabou, Leksands or Freia? We have all of this and more."

Ordered with Aline 2 dozen cookies to thank my physical therapy team. She was terrific! And she made the box of cookies look beautiful. Cookies and pastries are delicious, too! A real winner! Highly recommend!
My husband and I got the Swedish torte for our birthday. The cake was delicious. Definitely will be back.
I was blown away by this little hole in the wall bakery shop. The service was extremely friendly and informative, the owner offering samples of various items while explaining their significance in Swedish Culture. They make everything fresh with no preservatives and the flavor only benefits as a result, everything I tasted was magnificent, and what I purchased was even more fantastic. The cheesecake was flavorful but light, not overpowering and simple, with just some chocolate on the edge and a couple fresh raspberries to compliment. One of the diamonds in the rough, I think was the passionfruit beignet. While checking out at the register I heard the lady mention them to another couple in the bakery saying they had them for only 75 cents. My ears instantly perked up at the flavor combination So I just could not pass it up, and I very thankfully purchased one. I have no idea why, but that flavor combination was something special.
This is my GO TO dessert spot. No kidding, they have the best of the best here at their bakery! If you haven't already you MUST stop by and try one of their delicious desserts and cakes.... Plus they have licorice, swedish candies, coffee, etc. All kinds of things!
New owner is very nice. The Princess cake is different. It is not the same place. I hope it will grow into something wonderful but it is not the same polar bakery.
WHAT an AMAZING experience, everything in this place was just perfect From the outside seating tables and the welcome from sarah. She was super amazingly helpful and answer all the questions, trust me she can sell you the entire pastry shop lol, THE PRICES are so affordable we got to see other employees and all with a smile such welcome place to go. We really enjoyed so much our very first visit here and most definitely will be BACK next time we around the area.
I moved out of the Lantana area 5 years ago but loved the polar bakery. I was visit family in town and decided to stop in to get all my favorites only to find the bakery to be drastically different. Quality has gone down, rather than full cases of many different baked goods there were more empty shelves than full. No breads, no buns, what was there was mostly cookies, brownies and a few other items. I was able to get a slice of princess cake which I love, and lemon bars both of which I’ve had before from Polar. The recipes have changed. The princess cake did not have the raspberry jam, the lemon bar which use to be very tangy and firm was more like half baked jelly with a hint of overly sweet lemon flavor. We couldn’t even finish the lemon bar. Besides the lack of product, the bakery as a whole was lacking in the decor and cleanliness. The girl behind the counter took forever and completely left out one of the items I asked for. Only after leaving did I read the other reviews online about the new management taking over. This is a shame that they have not kept with the Polar tradition and recipes. I will not be back.
Visited West Palm for a graduation and found this little treasure! The fruit slices are AMAZING and I am truly sad there isn't anything close to the taste here in Orlando.
Best cake's, and pastries in the world, and service is excellent. This princess cake is outstanding, we ordered this cake for everyone's birthday's in my family, i highly recommend this bakery, i give them 5 stars plus plus plus much more!!!!
I stopped by this evening, almost before closing, and picked up two slices of cake to try. AMAZING! And contrary to a couple previous reviews, the staff was extremely friendly and courteous! I can’t imagine them being anything but nice! Such time and attention was taken to box my cakes up to go. I will definitely be back!
