What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the cozy atmosphere and the delicious, homemade quality of the food, especially the fish soup and Norwegian waffles. The friendly service adds to the welcoming experience, though some mention that wait times can be long during peak hours, with dishes sometimes taking up to 40 minutes.
"We were here in December 2024 and dined in this cafe three times. Each time we were served by a different waiter and all of them were very friendly, helpful and nice. All the food and drinks we ordered were also amazing, all were very tasty. The cafe may look small when you first enter but it has a huge space in the back so spacing was never an issue. I definitely recommend giving this cafe a try."

"Absolutely loved this cozy little spot! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to start your day. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was impressively quick. You have to try the Norwegian waffles—fresh off the iron, light, crisp, and delicious. Paired with a hot drink, it’s the perfect breakfast experience. Highly recommend!"

"Absolutely loved it (so much so that we went there three times in three days)! Firstly, they open at 8am, so perfect for a good breakfast (which we had twice). They start serving lunch menu at 1pm- and we tried that as well. Healthy, fresh made food, warm and welcoming service, and a very cosy ambience. What else does one want? Highly recommend going there for a memorable meal (great omelettes)! They have a lot of seating space- inside and a few tables outside as well. The ambience is that of a comfortable and welcoming home."
