Hello everyone!  Today I have a short travel post from when I went to Norway in April.  I went over the Easter holiday and I was not expecting it to be a total shutdown. I mean I live in London which is also a capital city and everything more or less remains open!  Nonetheless, it didn't mean that there was nothing to do. There were still some places open whilst we were there but a good number of the  coffee shops that I had wanted to go to were actually shut! 

Stockfleths however was on my list of places to head to whilst in Norway and thankfully I found one right by the Nobel Peace Centre. Vyvy and I both got latte's and I was very impressed with the fact that they had a good range of dairy free milks on offer.  The best bit was that their oat milk was actually Oatly's barista blend, which didn't total shock me considering oatly are a Swedish brand and Norway is quite literally their neighbour. For the price of the coffees, I thought they they were pretty decently priced at this cafe considering the fact that Norway is an incredibly expensive country. Our coffees were no more that £5 and it was honestly what I needed badly to keep me awake. As per any coffee that is made using Oatly, this was incredibly rich and creamy. 

Additionally, I feel like Norwegians know a lot about their coffee as although this was a chain it honestly had nothing on Starbucks or Costa. Whilst I like Starbucks, it doesn't have anything on indie coffee shops like I Will Kill Again or Iris and June in the UK. If you get what I mean? For a chain this delivered a high quality brew. 

The food on the other hand and when I say food, I mean cakes and pastries looked super delicious. They served a combination of internationally loved classics such as cookies and even had a few traditional Norwegian pastries such as Skolebolle which is a bun covered in coconut shavings and a custard centre. Vyvy  actually purchased one of these and she though that it was one of the most delicious pastries that she has ever had.
