Munch Deli & Coffee — Restaurant in Oslo

There is a new baker named Julien at the MUNCH Museum cafe. And he has fully curated the new collection of pastries 🥐

He’s a passionate baker who is bringing bespoke pastries to Oslo that you won’t be able to find anywhere else because these are Julien’s originals.

Here are a few of my favorites, but keep in mind, Julien is changing the menu with the seasons and his creativity!

Fastelavnsbolle / Carnival Bun I - The cardamom bun with whipped cream, almond paste, roasted nuts and crunchy almonds

Fastelavnsbolle / Carnival Bun II - The new croissant bun, tonka cream, apple compote, and white chocolate

Yuzu croissant - A spherical croissant with yuzu puree and white chocolate ganche

Grandma’s cake - A piece in Julien’s collection that follows him where ever he goes to not have any waste. His version of bread pudding with a different recipe each time

Norwegian cheesecake - An inclusive low sugar, gluten-free, lactose-free chessecake made of locally sourced cheese without missing a beat on flavor

Croissant - The perfect crunchy, buttery, and golden piece of Muma cafe. The croisssant is the main reason Julien...

I had an unpleasant experience at this café inside the museum. I was walking past and saw some cakes in the window, and there were only a few slices left. I was interested in ordering one to take away, but before I even asked, the white female staff member immediately said, "We are closed," with a calm tone and a gentle smile.

I understand if the kitchen was closed for orders that require preparation, but this situation was different. I hope the staff can be more professional and polite when dealing...

Munch has a new Head Baker (Konditor) who started in May ‘24 and the food is now fab! Apparently he makes all the burger buns and most desserts for the restaurant upstairs too. I had a lovely citron cake that was the perfect level of tart and sweet and a cappuccino the team made quickly. My friend and I sat on the terrace overlooking the Fjord, and the whole atmosphere was really nice! The new baker now makes his croissants live at the bar in the afternoon and we got a chance to talk to him as he did his thing. This little cafe was nothing exciting when I was here a year ago, but it seems transformed. I’ll...
