    One happy Yelper in training
    Marc W.

    This review is cowritten with my 10 year old son John who is as much a foodie as his dad. Norse Nook in Deforest Wisconsin was a little hard to find. we noticed the pie awards right away. Because of a staffing shortage we had to wait about 10 minutes. The hot chocolate is creamy and sweet. The pie of the month is rhubarb crunch so we started with that. The crunch is sweet (a little too sugary for my preference-John disagrees). He calls it a party in your mouth. John ordered the corned beef breakfast wrap and I went with the potato pancakes. John's wrap reminded us of crepes stuffed with. Or beef, eggs and topped with hollandaise sauce. Meaty, creamy. The description on the menu doesn't come out the way you expect it comes out better. I wish the potato pancakes were crispier and the Sodexo brand apple sauce was a disappointment. The rhubarb sauce leftover from the pie was a good substitute. Service was great, Cassandra was super attentive and always ready with the hottest tastiest drip coffee around. There's a cozy feel to the place and the pie alone is worth the trip.

    French toast Friday special
    Gabby N.

    We dined at Norske Nook Restaurant on a Friday morning and had a wonderful time! When we arrived, the restaurant wasn't super busy, there were only four other tables occupied by fellow diners. We were seated and served coffee immediately by the friendly staff. We placed our orders after a bit, and the plates got delivered very fast! The French toast special was good, but the morning sampler stole the show! The bacon and eggs were perfect, the breakfast potatoes were FANTASTIC, and the buttered toast with fruit jam was delicious. This is the perfect breakfast stop! I can't wait to try the Norwegian breakfast specialties the next time I visit.

    PIE!PIE!PIES! Classic Midwest pies that only your grandma can make! You have to get the raisin rum meringue, heaven on earth taste! Location was easy to find, lots of Norse breakfast and old world favorite! Don't miss this if you're in Madison or on your way to the Dells!

    I was heading to the Madison airport and decided to make a detour for lunch. Madison downtown area is a pain for parking, so I decided to go with DeForest. Norske Nook had a large parking, and the ambiance of a nice diner. Spacious, and well lit. The service was excellent, and the food was not the healthiest, but quite tasty. I was initially going for one of the Lesfe wraps, but was swayed by the day's special of the bread bowl. It seemed perfect for the cold, snowy day. I'll come back a different day for one of the wraps.

    Sour cream lingonberry

    Stopped in for a cup of coffe and slice of pie. I was not disappointed!! Service was good. Our waiter was very kind and gracious. We had cherry pie à la mode and sour cream lingonberry. Both were delish.

    I believe my friend ordered Potato Pancakes  They arrived with lingonberries, delicious

    Hello Norske Nook! My friends and I walk though DeForest often. We've popped in for coffee or pie. This time we popped in to sit and enjoy a meal. We were sat and greeted promptly. Beverages arrived quickly, the food arrived hot and as expected. The specialty at Norske Nook is Pie! They are pie masters. The potato pancakes with lingonberry were delicious. This was my friends order The corned beef hash with beef brisket went down smooth, eggs were cooked well, and the biscuit was good. Overall the meal hit home, it was nice and comforting. A good ma & pa sort of dinner. Would love a lighter option like yogurt parfait.

    Raspberry sour cream pie

    When we got here it had just opened, so thankfully we beat the rush. This place will be busy in 45 minutes and you'll be waiting for a table. But today was a lucky day for the wait time, especially since the signs on the door and hostess stand when you walk in mentioned them being short staffed. I love a good morning breakfast place, and this place is themed so it really makes me happy. The Norwegian/Scandinavian art and other stuff for sale in the place makes it a bit more than a restaurant/bakery. We always get stumped with the pies, the cookies, cakes. And they're all good so it's hard to choose what to get. The prices aren't that bad, not quite Madison prices. So it's not super expensive to get a pie slice with your meal. For food I got a fall breakfast sandwich on a cranberry bread. It was very crisp, the egg was perfect. 9/10. I often forget which place has these little hash brown rounds, but these are the best way to get hash brown. And they cook them to perfection. Buttery and crispy. 10/10, I love these! The potato pancakes today were really good. They can be a little hit and miss. 8/10, but these do have a slightly more savory taste than most. They give you apple sauce, we usually ask for a side of sour cream. The mix of the two is wonderful! This place is a great consistent place to go for good food, and service. The seating and tables are extremely accessible, things are spread open on the floor. You don't have to worry about being right next to someone. I look forward to going again!

    We stopped in Osseo on a whim, and I'm so glad we got pie while in town. Wow! This is a new must stop on our next trip through Wisconsin.

    Do they offer vegan pies? Do they offer gluten free pie crusts?

    They do have little "personal pan" pies that are gluten free so you get your own mini pie. They also have a full gluten free and vegan/vegetarian menu, just ask to see it.

    Wow.. stopped in for the 1st time yesterday! The place is cookie heaven. I've been to cupcake…read moreonly bakeries, but never a cookie paradise. The cookies are just what you imagine they would be! Like all the grandma's in the world teamed up to make the best of the best recipes and said you my children deserve fresh out of the oven warm cookies. I ordered 4 and now I wish I ordered 24.... who is counting calories anyways! I got a chocolate chip, a chocolate cookies and cream, Pecan pie cookie and a Carmel cinnamon Leche cookie. Wow were they top notch. Huge cookies. Several options to choose from along with cookies of the week. My entire family agreed that we just found our newest favorite cookie shop. Not to mention the smell of this place was magical and free. I may have dreamed about those cookies smells last night! Lol. We will be back again soon to try more.

    Love the cookies and the menu. The app is great EXCEPT- I…read moreoften order delivery and the last time I ordered I could not confirm that the cookies were delivered. They were not. I couldn't find any information to track or report this issue. If ordering delivery, I highly recommend using an app with support that offers tracking or refunds. I was able to call and speak with a real person, they do use door dash so they were able to replace the order. I'm pretty disappointed as I was using the cookies for a little get together. Cute little shop though and very positive sup

The decorations are really cute and fun, with big moving statues of different creatures. The experiences are all pretty expensive, so we stuck with arcade games but even that ate up a lot of our money. There is a decent variety of games and lots of prizes to spend your points on. The service was a little sparse, but it was a Tuesday during the day and the employees working were friendly and helpful. Overall a fun place but be prepared to spend a lot of money!

Love it when there is a variety of fresh fruit along with the cheese, meats, and nuts! We loved the tiki drinks and the mocktails were really fun. The service at the party was really good. Our server was really efficient and great about checking to see if anyone needed a drink and clearing plates. I had no idea what to expect before going here, and this really exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to back with friends or other families.
