Henningsvær Lysstøperi and Cafe — Restaurant in Vågan

We had breakfast two days in a row here at this cosy cafe in Henningsvaer. The staff is courteous and they all carry a smile on their faces always. The cinnamon buns were the best we had during our trip to Norway and are a must try. The cafe’s decor is extremely cute as well. Vibrant house-made candles adore the walls and little nooks around the place. The first day we were with our friends and in a big group of 8 people and tried their fresh pesto mozzarella sandwiches - very fresh and perfect accompaniment to the sweet treats, lattes, hot chocolate (5-stars again per kids:) , cappuccino & Americano. We also tried several of their desserts and they were all great. If you have to skip something- the open faced cold shrimp/prawn sandwich - that can be skipped, it wasn’t very nice. Also wanted to point out that they catered gracefully to a child of mine with allergies as well & made a fresh mozzarella sandwich without pesto, which added to the list of appreciation I have for them. All in all a must visit place whether you stay in this adorable town or are just driving through and want to find a good...

I was having a very disappointing evening after getting turned away from multiple restaurants in town because none of them had a table available. I got on my car and was on my way out of town. On the street, I saw a beautiful angel standing in front of this kafe. As I looked at her, she looked back at me. It was magical.

She then started walking towards me. I rolled down the window not knowing what is going on, my heart racing in anticipation and excitement. It was then when I smelled heavenly whiff. “Is this what angels smell like in heaven?”, I thought.

She was now barely a few inches away from me. “Would you like free buns?”, she asked. Alas, it was the scent from the cream buns she was holding in a bag. They were a godsend. Leftovers at the end of the day, but was still crispy outside, moist and soft inside, very tasty.

I never got the angel’s name, but she made my day. Would definitely come back to return the favor one way or...

I adore the Italian atmosphere. Italians truly know how to eat and create exquisite food. No one, like you today, has explained to me what a CORTADO coffee is; I honestly studied philosophy in Florence, and the salami pizza here is better than the one near the Duomo Cathedral. I don't usually eat sweets or bread, but in this place, I can indulge in everything. This is my second visit, and the food is excellent each time. Although last year, instead of cinnamon pastries, there was a plain yeast cake, and it tasted the best; it's a shame that this year there was only one with custard. The coffee lacks acidity, is strong to the last drop, and the milk is barely noticeable. My favorite mint-colored table was free. The colorful candles enliven the interior. Oh, and the pizza arrived very quickly, and I recommend adding chili oil—it's good for the...
