Deliciously soft, while simultaneously crispy, Norwegian waffles with a plethora of topping combinations. We had the best selling waffle with brown cheese, jam, and sour cream. While the combo was delightful, I think the real winner is brown cheese and sour cream, no jam. One man running the show, VERY EFFICIENTLY, making fresh waffles, topping them, scooping ice cream, and being the cashier. Casual and quick experience in a vibrant space. read more

I'm always trying to experience local cuisine, and Haralds came up as a dessert spot that fit the bill. I got a waffle with butter and brown cheese, keeping it simple to see how the waffle would land. The brown cheese was great, very complex blend of salty, sweet, and even a little savory. It went well with the butter and the waffle. My waffle wasn't as crispy as I was expecting, but still excellent. I can see why this place gets a lot of hype, worth checking out to get a taste of Norway! read more

We came here after our dinner to try out their waffles which we saw on a number of you tube videos. The storefront was quite simple with a few outdoor seats and small tables while inside was just counter seating. The menu listed just waffles (choose up to three toppings) and ice cream (which could also be a topping). We tried the butter, jam and brown cheese (brunost) combination. The waffle was crisp and thin. Together the flavors blended well together (had some hesitation about the brown cheese but go happy we got it) and the end result was quite tasty. Lastly prices were also quite reasonable compared to others. read more

What an amazing spot. Small place with a great and colorful vibe. Came here on my last day in Oslo and wish I came sooner. The super classic Vaffel is a must, but the ice cream looked insane too! Staff was nice but it was definitely busy. Where do I get brown cheese in America? Hahaha read more

Hands down one of my favorite bites in Oslo! I couldn't help myself and had to try the infamous brown cheese/sour cream/jam combo as well as a super sweet vaffle... Yes, they are both worth the hype and I will say I was stuffed to the gills after eating two vaffle by myself. The shop itself is very small but the line moves quicker than you expect - the vaffles come piping hot for you to enjoy outside or there is a small area inside you can quickly enjoy and be on your way. Love the person who was behind the counter making the vaffle - super friendly and eager to give you suggestions on toppings; also has great taste in music! You MUST add this to your list of stops in Oslo! read more

I stopped in on a food tour and I think this was my favorite thing I ate all day. Each waffle was made fresh so it was nice and warm. We got ours with brown cheese, jam, and cream and it was incredible. The brown cheese has almost a caramel flavor and the jam does a good job of adding some sweetness. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a MUST when visiting Oslo. The super classic version with jam, cream and brown cheese is an absolutely bizarre combination that works really well. The server was fast and friendly. It is a small shop with just a few seats but it literally only takes 2 minutes to gobble down a scrumptious waffle. read more

Haralds Vaffel - Yummy super classic waffle. - Waffles Near Me - Oslo, 03

Unfortunately, I was greeted by pouring rain in Oslo (which lasted the entire day). This also meant that I wanted a sweet treat, so I made my way quickly to a waffle place posted by multiple travel blogs. Haralds Vaffel offers Norwegian style waffle with their signature being served with brown cheese, romme (sour cream) and jam (69NOK). From my understanding, brown cheese is a distinctly Norwegian dairy product made of whey, which can be controversial, however I actually enjoy the caramel-like taste. I also found it interesting that they told us to eat it handheld like a taco. All in all, it was a good experience, taste wise nothing mind blowing but a good flavour combination for sure. I would recommend coming here because I love the overall Grünerløkka neighbourhood feel, with many cute coffee shops, vintage stores, and eclectic boutiques. read more

An idea hatched in 2013, when a Swede named Jonathan Larsson began selling Waffles from the window of his bedroom to offset Oslo's cost of living, Haralds Vaffel has inhabited Grünerløkka consistently since 2019 and remains a staple for quick eats to locals and visitors alike. Focused on the Norwegian Waffle, thinner and softer than those of Belgium with less rise than versions sold in America, guests are invited to choose from a variety of toppings ranging savory to sweet and with or without Ice Cream. Lightly sweet with a hint of Cardamom, the Waffle's softness nearly akin to a Crepe, "Superclassic Recommendation #1" features Raspberry Jam and Sour Cream spread halfsies while three slices of Brunost from the block add hints of Caramel. read more

Cute little waffle ice cream shop! Stopped in after I heard Norway is known for their waffles. I got the waffle with jam & blueberry ice cream & whipped cream. It was around 9USD for this. There was inside and outside seating. You order at a counter then they'll call your order once it's ready. They also have an option to order online in advance as it gets quite crowded there! I really enjoyed my waffle all waffles should have ice cream on them! read more

Haralds Vaffel - Waffle - Waffles Near Me - Oslo, 03

I think this place is a little over hyped. The waffle was good, it came out hot. I was not a fan of the brown cheese, it was not sweet at all and didn't go with the jam in my opinion. The waffle is quite soft and not overly sweet, I think the toppings really make it. I wouldn't make a special trip to try this place but it's good. There's a few seats inside but not many. read more

My friend who lives in Oslo told me this spot started with a college student just selling waffles, and now it's wildly successful. Love a success story! I decided to try the traditional Norwegian waffle with sour cream, jam, and brunost (brown cheese). I was really skeptical, but it was so good. The waffle itself it great on its own, but the toppings just work well together. Don't be put off by the brown, weird looking cheese. Try it. read more

We're visiting Oslo from the USA, last day here. Several people suggested we needed to try Waffles w/Brown Cheese, so we googled, yelped, and trip-advisored "best waffles". Haralds was king of all the recommendations we found! So we started our trek to try the best waffles in Oslo. 30 minutes later - we confirmed: YES! This golden delicacy was in fact TERRIFIC!! We both got sour cream, raspberries, and brown cheese (as suggested on their poster). By the time we got our order outside for seating, it was a fabulously melty delicious mess!! Both of us were elated with our first "waffles & brown cheese" experience! (For the unenlightened - as we were - brown cheese is sort of a cross between American & Cream Cheese - very mild, slightly sweet.) Haralds is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall location on a busy pedestrian street. The folks working the counter were delightful - efficient, cheerful, helpful, fun. Dont know if - or when - we'll be back in Norway, but Haralds will be one of our favorite memories for a good long time. read more

I was looking for the authentic norwegian waffle experience and my girlfriend researched this place and told me to go. It is a counter service place, no frills but the waffle and toppings were amazing. I got the brown cheese, lingonberry, and cream. They packed it to go for me so I could walk it back. I will be thinking about this waffle for years! read more

Haralds Vaffel is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in this Nordic city! Get the classic waffle which will consist of sour cream, jam, and brown cheese. Yes, brown cheese, and yes, it's good! Get some ice cream on top and have a great life. This spot is a gem and I'd definitely come back if I ever find myself back in Oslo. read more

That was an incredible waffle. It's a very simple shop, and all they do is waffles, and you need to go. Just go. I got a waffle with ice cream and whipped cream. The whipped cream was outstanding. Our family tried four different ways, including gluten free, all were great. We found it to be better as a dessert place than for meals, but we did see someone order a hot dog on a waffle, so maybe that's worth a try? I dunno, the dessert waffles were soooo good that I wouldn't want to mess with it. Go get some! read more

Norway, Norway, Norway will I ever, not come back!!! Meaning that I will come back!! Where do I begin, actually, I'm going to take a min to apologize on behalf my Northern lads, the Canadians. We walked in and were having a great convo with the vaffleman, when -cue, enter foul wench... -foul wench - wow they sell waffles here? -foul wench's friend - uh yes they do. -foul wench - do they speak English? -foul wench's friend - yes, they do. You gotta try the brown cheese waffle. It's delightful. -vaffleman - hi ladies. Welcome. First time here? -foul wench - yes, first time. I'm actually here from London. Vaffleman - welcome and hope you enjoy your visit. -foul wench - well I'm not British even though I practically live there. Vaffleman - from the US? Foul wench - *raises her voice* I am not American. I am not like those shits. Never compare me again! We are sooo much nicer than they are and would never equate myself to the same level. Vaffleman - oh excuse, the accent was deceiving. Foul wench - we might sound similar. But I am super nice and I'm not rude. Why would I ever associate with them... Poor vaffleman... I wanted to intervene but the vaffleman had it all taken care of. He brought out her order and changed her fate! No longer was she the foul wench, she transformed into a civilized person who thanked him and proceeded to apologize for her behavior. Vaffleman changes lives. So never hesitate to stop and transform your taste buds and self. Its the ayahuasca for the stomach read more

Waffle with butter, raspberry jams and brown cheese. Aka crack. Thank goodness I'd have to travel around the planet to get my hands on this again. I'd gain 100 pounds if they were closer. The waffle warm fresh and crispy, smothered in melting butter, raspberry jam and fresh sliced brown cheese. The staff was super friendly and quick when they were pretty busy. All I can say you have to try it. It's worth it, walk it off. read more

Freshly made waffles! So yummy. We wanted to try the classic, which is sour cream, jam, and brown cheese. It was very good! They're much smaller than they look in pictures though. They cost about $4. It's a small shop with some counter seating, but it's a cute atmosphere. I would totally come back! read more

Favorite waffles in Oslo! Went back to Norway last month and made sure to grab the blue cheese & bacon waffles the day before my flight back home. My mom and I ordered 6 original waffles and took it with us to the US to suprise my sisters because these waffles were our favorite when we used to live in Norway. Just popped it in the airfryer for a few minutes so it would get crispy again. I miss it already! read more

Hands down the best waffle I've ever eaten in my 40 years on this earth (and I've eaten a LOT of them). The kind lady behind the counter told me to order the traditional brunost, raspberry jam, and butter vaffel. Who am I to argue with her? She knew what was best for me. And I'm glad I didn't put up a fight because it was downright SEXUAL, that waffle. My manfriend had the polsa (hot dog) with crispy onions, ketchup, and mustard. Yes, on a waffle. Also freaking amazing. Cannot recommend this place more. And if you're staying centrally in Oslo and don't think it's worth the 20-30 minute walk from whatever hotel you're staying at? Well, then you are not worthy of this waffle. And it is not worthy of you. Make the effort. Take the tram. Walk there. Do whatever you need to do to eat here. I'm STILL dreaming of this place, and plotting my return from Boston, Massachusetts in order to fulfill my dream once again. read more

This place is really cute. Cool trendy hiphop music, hot shower by chance the rapper. Chick interior design and good waffle
