Reviews and real feedback
“The best cardamom bun!! I loved it so much in the morning for breakfast that I had to come back in the afternoon for another round haha! Highly recommended, the coffee was tasty too, and the staff were nice. :)”— Brigitta Lipták
“A must visit! Det Gule Huset is a great place. They bake all their pastries (cinnamon knots, cardamom knots, pastel de nata) and breads themselves. The soup of the day is full of flavour, and all the plates are large with quality produce. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, with a cosy upstairs. Kjetil and Elli are a great team, the staff are friendly, and the coffee is from the local roastery: Sogndal Kafffebrenneri. They serve gluten-free and dairy-free options, and the menu changes from time to time.”— Karianne Aanesland
