About and visit notes

The Palm Beach Bakery & Cafe is a cherished culinary landmark in the heart of the Lake Worth Corridor area of South Florida, offering a unique and authentic taste of Scandinavia right on the sunny coastline. Established in 1997, this venue is far more than a conventional bakery; it operates as a specialized Bakery, a cozy Cafe, and a delightful Cake shop all in one, with a focus on traditional Finnish and Scandinavian recipes. For over two decades, it has served the Florida community with homemade pastries, robust breads, and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

What truly sets this establishment apart from the typical American bakery is its specialty in Northern European fare. Patrons can discover authentic items like the famous Dark Rye bread (often praised for having no sugar or preservatives), the sweet, aromatic Cardamom Bread, and unique pastries like Finnish-style cheesecakes (Rahkapiirakka) and apple-filled Munkkipossu. This niche focus provides a cultural and culinary experience often unavailable elsewhere in the region, appealing to Floridians seeking diverse and high-quality, time-honored baked goods.

Beyond the exquisite baked selections, the venue functions as a fully operational cafe, serving delicious coffee that pairs perfectly with their sweets and a comprehensive Breakfast menu. Whether one is looking for a quick morning pastry, a special-occasion cake, or a taste of authentic Finnish soup and bread (as noted by enthusiastic customers), Palm Beach Bakery & Cafe provides a delightful and memorable experience. The business model emphasizes fresh, homemade quality, making it a highly respected and essential local favorite in the 33462 area.

    So, I know little about Finnish food, except, that IT'S DIVINE! Do your self a favor & go try this place, just off Ocean Avenue in Lantana! Fish Soup was my favorite, with Salmon, Tilapia & Tuna, served with sour cream & homemade bread! Leave with delicious, beautiful breads or a dessert to go! Gluten Free & Vegetarian options!

    I drove 2.5 hours to try their Pulla and I am so glad I did! It was amazing and the cafe was so inviting! I will definitely be returning! I’m glad to have a bakery with homemade Scandinavian food here in Florida!

    Just lovely local spot! Really great coffee and baked goods - the homemade sugar donut is our fave! ❤ $5 = an awesome cup of coffee, homemade sugar donut, $1 + change tip and endearing convo with the super friendly staff. The place is owned by a Finnish family and are equally pleasant and entertaining. Most important to Saki... they are super dog friendly! 😊

    What a great find. Walking in just smells wonderful. Bought breads & pastries to go but they have several sidewalk tables for diners. Very reasonably priced. We tried cinnamon coffee cake, cardamom bread with raisins & almond pastry. All amazing. Will definitely be back. Just be aware they close at 1pm on Saturdays. Enjoy!
