A Taste of Denmark opened its doors in Oakland in 1929 under its original name, Neldam’s. Since that time, the bakery has served many generations. In 2010, the bakery was renamed to its current name by former employees who took over the business and converted it into a co-op.

Ramon Luna, a bakery co-owner, explained the pandemic’s effect to Fox 2 San Francisco. Luna said, “A big part of our business is the catering business.” “And so, when the pandemic happened, it took that whole catering business out of the equation and made it really hard for us to stay open.”

Luna also cited rising crime and exorbitant rent as issues the business encountered. Luna added, “The rent’s really high. And we get our windows broken every three weeks.”
