Showed up on a Thursday morning during spring break and was able to get a table.

Atmosphere is nice, cozy, and relaxed. No thrills and frills with service as it's an order-at-the-counter and have a seat type of establishment. That being said, the multi-talented server/busser/bartender/barista 1 man show was on fire, movin' and getting things done. He was very attentive to us and a pleasure to speak to, all while notably working hard.

The food was great. The porridge with a side of eggs was fantastic. The flavor was great, and the toasted coconut flakes added great texture. The eggs were great just the way they were presented, no salt or pepper needed. The bloody Mary was one of the better ones I've had while out and about for a very long time, well done!

The three of us were happy to dine here, and will be back if in the area again.

I had the most delightful experience at this charming Scandinavian eatery! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff, who made me feel right at home. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, with a perfect blend of modern and traditional touches that transport you to Scandinavia.

The food was absolutely exquisite—each dish was crafted with such care and attention to detail. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the menu offered a fantastic variety, from traditional Nordic fare to inventive twists on classic dishes. The drink selection was just as impressive, with expertly curated options that complemented the food perfectly.

What really stood out, though, was the incredible service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was nothing short of perfect, offering thoughtful recommendations and checking in regularly to make sure everything was just right.

This eatery is a gem, and I can’t wait to return. If you're looking for fantastic food, wonderful drinks, and a truly memorable dining experience, this place is an absolute must-visit!

My dad and I made a weekend trip up to Astoria and were pleasantly surprised by the sites and people. Saw this place and decided to try it out, and I have to say it was one of the best breakfasts I have had. We got the Ham Norwegian Crepe and Lost Egg, both were incredible! Thanks for the meal!

I love sitting on the end bench and people watching. Food is pretty good its presentation sometimes is better than the taste. It’s also not always consistent on taste or texture. They have started giving water jugs and that’s nice. Staff is laid back and kind but service isn’t their best quality.

This is a great breakfast place. We arrived early and were able to sit right away, with other early birds already enjoying breakfast.
The dishes are unique and artfully prepared and presented.

Happened upon this delightful place after an intense winter storm knocked power out in our hotel. It feels like fate directed us here! The food is complex, rich, yet light. Delicious danish pancakes and really good coffee and chai. Try the Norwegian ham crepe!! We will definitely be back to this charming spot.

We had an amazing experience here! The staff was friendly and made wonderful coffee! The food was AMAZING!! We got the Elk Swedish Hash and it was delicious, enough good to split between myself and my fiancé. We got Cardamom Latte’s as well and they were made to perfection! Recommend this place hands down!

This place is a no-brainer: whether you're into Scandinavian faire, trying something new, or simply enjoy a good brunch spot. Food was 10/10 A++; service was helpful, professional, and yet relaxed in a way that contributed to the overall vibes. Dining area was spacious. The hotel it is housed in also offers highlights, next door.
