The place is quite crowded and always busy, but it offers a variety of seating options. I absolutely loved their strawberry cheesecake it was the best I’ve had. We ordered two afternoon teas for five people along with a couple of other drinks. I also really liked their classic English tea cups. However, finding a parking spot was very difficult.

Nice place to have a lunch with friends. Views are amazing. Hotel is close so could be a great idea to have a slow morning here. Drinks were good still sandwith with cheese had a bit strange taste. Old building and a terrace, so you can pick where to sit. Small details makes interior even more cosy.

Lovely place for lunch. If we hadn’t been forced to make a detour due to tunnel closure, we wouldn’t have discovered this gem. Lovely staff and atmosphere with good food and great coffee. NOTE: they ARE open. Disregard what google says haha. See pic for opening hours.

Absolutely amazing place to stop in for afternoon tea. Cheesecake - delicious. Cheese and ham sandwich - delicious, salmon sandwich - also delicious! Best place to stop after a swim in the fjord or hike up to Glomnesnakken.
