In a country where everything is expensive, I was happy to find this little convenience store in…read moreStavenger. Did not feel like spending a lot for dinner so Narvesen to the rescue. Bought a couple of Bacon wrapped hot dogs, ice cream bar, Softis ice cream, and a drink for the wife and I. It was no gourmet meal, but it made for a fine budget value deal. You get what you pay for, and we were pleased with what we got. Aside from the usual convenience store staples, they had some Norwegian souvenirs. Service was friendly and excellent. Shop was clean. Location is next to the ferry. I'm a fan!

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?

Great service. They open earlier than many other shops. Large selection of pastries, sandwiches and…read morebread.

There are two 7-Eleven stores located very close together in Stavenger, Norway. Both locations are…read morequite nice and convenient. This specific store is located off of the main street. You can only find them if you are walking along the narrow cobblestone streets of Old Stavenger. Located across from Deli De Luca, and beside Sentrum Souvenirs. They run a clean operation. Store was small and well organized. Prices were fair for a convenience store. Service was polite. Had a good time eating our cookie and belgian waffle here after purchasing. There is a small counter area with bar stools which we took advantage of. Would be a regular if I lived in Stavenger or worked in the area.
