Food was delicious! Super busy so have some patience put tables move pretty quick.
We were very pleased with this little restaurant. Service was good. We had breakfast and it was delicious! The crepes are definitely worth a highlight.
Great menu. Specialty coffes, awesome pastries liberal, creative and effective use of lefse.
Love this place - try to stop by anytime I am in the area.
It got busy around 9:30-10 am and it seems like there was one server. They forgot my sides. The food was tasty
We bought their hamburger buns at a small grocery store and they had a weird texture which caused me to look at ingredients list and see that they have azodicarbonamide additive. It’s is banned in Europe, UK, Australia etc as a food additive. So disappointing.
This is a great place. Very good menu options. Great presentation. We all loved our food. Some had breakfast some lunch. I will definitely come back. Lots of good choices on the menu. Staff was great. Very friendly.
Good Scandinavian food. Great bakery.
Took me some extra work to find this nice little place but well worth it! Located inside Festival Foods in Bloomington Taste of Scandinavia offers some fantastic breakfasts with an ethnic flavor. Took about five minutes to get seated and immediately made my choice of ordering a delightful group of three strawberry crepes with side of ham. Almost made it through this delicious mix of fresh strawberries, whipped cream and decorative chocolate shavings. Was filling and fulfilling 😌 Service was great and always kept the coffee flowing! Afterwards you have to check out the dessert case fo pick up some fabulous baked goods. To surprise a family member loaded up a bag with its famous Norwegian almond Kringler and Hardeman cookies plus blueberry lemon bars and butter pecan bars. Many locals stop by on a regular basis and even ran into a group of senior men playing cards after breakfast! Many make this a weekly stop and I can see why. Taste of Scandinavia has other locations in the Minneapolis-St Paul metro area so would highly recommend for either breakfast or its baked goods. You won't be disappointed.
This place is a hidden gem inside the festival foods store. I had the Swedish breakfast it was delicious such an amazing flavor tune worst part of eating here is not the food but the fact that my belly will not allow me to try more at this moment. But we will be back wife got basic breakfast eggs hash browns and toast the sourdough toast was so fresh tasty and wonderful
