Cute cafe along Fargegaten, The Street of Colors…read more When a local Stavanger hairdresser wanted to infuse a pop of color into this street who knew that he would create a tourist attraction? This cute cafe is so cozy and inviting. Love the colors, the books and the board games. Coffeeshop by day. Bar at night. A great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with family and friends.

Nice bar to play board games and have a beer or two! We visited Bøker og Børst on a Sunday night,…read moreand it was busy but there were tables available. The bar has plant-themed wallpaper and both fake and real plants scattered about the bar. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating available. They offer mostly premade cocktails, but they do have a few basic options available. They also have a fairly wide draft beer selection and a decent selection of board games to play. If you want to play games and drink beer in Stavanger, then I think Bøker og Børst is the place!

I took my Hawaiian friend here for breakfast and it was an absolute success! Even though it was a…read moresimple selection of sandwiches they're so good AND they had two options for vegetarians, one of them vegan! We had the flat white coffee which was awesome, the chicken /bacon/avocado sandwich and the cream cheese/tomatoes/onions bagel. Also had to try the pink makron cake(picture) and it was heaven!! The lady who owns the café is so sweet and lovely. It's a private business and her and her husband built up this cafe and one in Sandnes. Good job!!! Creds!

Good coffee, colorful and a genuinely happy staff. This has…read morebeen an (almost) daily stop over the last week while in Stavanger. I enjoy smiling, happy, faces and since the custom around here is for people to keep to themselves, it's nice to walk into a coffee shop and be greeted with good eye contact and a smile, regardless of who is behind the bar. The glass front of the shop allows for fun people watching while you sit and drink your coffee too.

We walked all the way across Stavanger with the express purpose of eating in this one bakery…read more It was totally totally totally worth it. * * * The baked goods are what make this place stand out, But the coffee is pretty darn fine too. We have been drinking cafe lattes. Intrinsically, these don't vary much from place to place. As long as the coffee is not stale and the milk is fresh, you should be in business. But at Kanelsnurren, the cafe lattes are dramatically better. Better beans? The Edvard Grieg of Norwegian baristas making the espresso? Who knows? But the world perked up with the first sip. * * * But at a bakery you are there for the baked goods. They have both heavy Scandinavian breads and lighter fluffier wonders. I did not try the heavies such as the ryes or the korns. I had a ham sandwich with one of the mixed seed sandwich buns. Inferior versions of this taste okay and sit in your stomach like a shot put afterwards. This version of the bun tasted complex and amazing. The bread was light and ethereal both while being consumed and afterwards. Leaving the restaurant, I could have floated up the hill to the neighborhood church. (I actually did so. The cafe latte provided the additional lift.) * * * But as good as the sandwich was, the star of the show was dessert. I got a chocolate and hazelnut bun with a big dollop of chocolate on top. Surprise, surprise, the pastry was nearly empty inside, like a popover or a Yorkshire pudding. But it was rich and buttery and comforting like a Popover. Yes, the inside of the popover cavity had dollops of chocolate and of hazelnut. It was big enough to be filling, light enough to be ethereal, delicate enough to be guilt-free, and chocolatey-nutty enough to totally delight my inner three year old. Popovers for dessert? Proof that God exists and the Universe is a Wonderful Place. And the extra lightness got me down the other side of the hill with the church after the sandwich and the coffee had done their job. * * * The bread and pastry at Kanelsnurren are insanely good. But with all of that lightness, maybe one of their secret ingredients is helium?

The staff and menu setup were so helpful and made for a smooth ordering process. They have menus in Norwegian and English and both are organized well to be helpful and appealing. The food was very good, but more mixed than the place itself. The Belgian and regular hot chocolates were delicious. We both got them made with soy and it was a great choice. The Belgian I ordered was dark only and it was very rich, with a nice foam top. The hot chocolate was delicious and sweeter, but not too much. The pastry we got was very good flavor, but the center had a bit of a dried film on top and made the pastry harder to eat. Overall, I would go again and would definitely get the hot chocolate any time. It was lovely and tasty.
