Absolute "must visit" if you are visiting Stavanger! We are traveling around Norway and this is the best cafe in Stavanger, if not the best in all of the places we have visited in all of Norway so far. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. They have a large variety of different handmade pastries. You can almost taste the dedication and love they put into each one of them.

FINALLY A GOOD CAFE WITH GOOD COFFEE AND GOOD DESSERTS HAVE ARRIVED IN STAVANGER!! The atmosphere is just so cozy and aesthetic! Amazing selections of both savory and sweet desserts, and really affordable beverages. The service was unbelievably nice too; welcoming, informative, trying to help all the time, refilling the water, and the smiles all the way! The only sad thing about this place is that they only open on the weekends Id love to visit more often!!

Woody Guthrie said of his guitar, "this machine kills fascists", whereas this sausage roll(and cafe) builds community!! We love this place even though we live on the other side of the city. The owners are warm and welcoming and the food is just as fantastic and homemade. We need more of these cosy coffee shops in our neighbourhoods and we're so glad that it exists. Perfect for your lazy Saturdays or Sundays.
