Unfortunately the size of this item has been increased even while its quality has been reduced. I write at the end of July, 2019. Much less almond paste and fewer almond slivers than previously with a thicker dough. Makes me sad – I would have paid more for the original, now this isn’t really worth a purchase.

This is my all time favorite sweet treat from TJ’s. I find myself cutting a piece from it EVERY time I walk by the kitchen…so so good. I do think it has changed slightly in the last year. It does seem to have less almond paste filling and not as much “sugary/almond slivers” on the topping, but I still love them all the same.

Someone please fucking tell me how AN EIGHT OF THIS is close to 300 calories? I ate a 4th which is a totally reasonable portion and that was 600 calories. For what? 5 bites of a pastry? Insane. This is not worth the calories.

I’m a Dane. I grew up enjoying Danish pastry. This almond ring is great! Hope Joe’s continues carrying this product.

I love this danish pastry. I am sad that it has been discontinued. Can we get a recipe at least?

Delicious! Flaky and airy, and not too sweet.

Although my health is better when I avoid gluten, every now and then I splurge for this HEAVENLY treat! I love that the first ingredient is NOT sugar, and for a dessert, it’s not that unhealthy. I highly recommend trying it!

Quality on this has really gone downhill. Does TJ ever check to see how drastic the taste/texture changes in things. There’s very little almond flavor now (hardly any almond filling/paste inside), the dough/bread has increased dramatically so it tastes a lot like a simple bread dough thats slightly sweet. Gone are the sugared almonds on top, gone is the dense layer of almost filling, gone is the distinct almond flavor/taste. I cut a piece off if it (about 1/6 of the circle) and there was not ANY almond flavor to it. Dont think I will buy it again. It used to be so great years ago, but now its just a bunch of dough.

Love it! Love it! Love it! For those of us who do not have a decent bakery in town, this is the closest thing to a delicious sweet roll.

As others have said, there is NO almond paste and little almond flavor. The danish is now dense with little resemblance to the original….sad.

Disappointed in this. No almond flavor or filling. Dry and under-baked at the same time. I won’t buy again

From my understanding, it used to taste better. I’m almost glad I didn’t know what it tasted like before as I too may have been upset comparing past and present iteration. But, since I’m not jaded by past incarnation, I LOVE it and it’s definitely perfectly washed down with a cup black coffee. It’s not as sweet as it” coulda,woulda, shoulda,used to be, but it’s just fine as is to me. May leave you wanting a bit more almond paste but ir works and its way better than other places for this type product, BY FAR!

I remember some years back there was no alcohol in this almond pastry but now I see they have added it. Just concerned because I buy only halal eating products which has no alcohol nor gelatin. Can someone tell me if there was alcohol from the beginning may be I did not notice it.

Would be 5***** except consistency from day to day and pkg to pkg is wildly uneven. Not much QC in the mixing and baking process. One will be over the top yummy with good almond paste and golden slivers, the next will be doughy and slight on the almond paste. Serious quality control problem. Very uneven among batches.

Like other 2023 reviewers have mentioned, there is little discernible almond flavor/paste, and it was very dry. One reviewer mentioned that product quality is inconsistent, so perhaps I got the product on an off day. Was very disappointed.

Best almond pastry I’ve had outside of a bakery. I could eat the entire cake in one day.

My family and I are literally addicted to this delish almond Danish! OMG…I seriously buy two at a time (bad me) and I can’t tell you how perfect this incredible Danish taste. Just the right amount of almond paste, moist, not too sweet and perfect alone or with a cup of coffee. I can’t wait to load up again after the first batch is done. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
