If adding special instructions in the ad hoc place is just useless, this is really disappointing and I don't feel like doing this again.

I bicycled down as fast as I could due to the liquorice chocolate "flødeboller" that my friend told me were utterly a food orgasm. He had them all at once and could not stop talking about them. Ok, they are really good- I mean it is liquorice!! The shop brags about being organic which I do not care about but it is a cute shop with lots of goodies and the shop assistant was very nice. Only minus is of course the price. It always is I guess.

It was fun to go through the meats, cheese selections and spices. We finally sat down to eat at the cafe. The woodfire oven looked very nice hut the seating area was not cozy or comfortable. In fact it was cramped and people waiting in line to order were hovering around people who were sitting and eating. The pizza was delicious. Thin crust and just the right juicy, if you know what I mean. The vegetarian focaccia look very good but it wasn't good to eat. The bread wasn't tasty and the cheese tomato combo was just not right. The Vanilla Cronut was a lot like the original NY Cronut and I liked it a lot. Will definitely have the pizza and Cronut if I come back. The desserts looked good as did the breads. Maybe I'll try the olive bread next time. The thing about this particular neighborhood of Skøyen is that it's too cold and deserted even on a Saturday afternoon. This place makes me feel cut off from the world, like a modern and fun-looking ghost town. Ikke koselig! Don't know if I'll go back here. ESP when I can get better pizza at Olivia's which is the same price, much more fun and closer to me.
