A konditori is a confectioner’s shop where you can buy the cakes and eat them on the spot, and in Norway it counts as a kind of café. Confectionery became a trade of its own in Norway in the 1800s, and its makers were long also called sukkerbakere (sugar bakers) or, from the German, kukkenbakere.1

Oslo’s bakery cafés run from Pascal, a French konditor with shops in the city since 1995, to bakeries that bake on site through the day, such as Braud on Middelthuns gate.23

Local tip: At chains that price takeaway separately, a bun to go costs less: in July 2025 Baker Hansen charged 36 kr for a takeaway kanelbolle against 40 kr at a table.6

Where these cafés are: Frogner & Majorstuen (4), Sentrum (2), St. Hanshaugen & Bislett (2), Gamlebyen, Kampen & Vålerenga (2), Aker Brygge, Tjuvholmen & Bjørvika (2), Sagene & Torshov (1).

Buns to know

The kanelbolle (cinnamon bun) is also called skillingsbolle. It reached Norway by way of Bergen and is named after its original price, one skilling.4 Skolebrød, “school bread”, is a sweet yeast bun filled with custard, iced and dipped in grated coconut. It appeared in the 1950s as a treat for school lunches and bake sales, and in the 1970s, amid worry about children’s sugar intake, the name skolebolle came in so that it would not sound like everyday bread.5

In a July 2025 price check in central Oslo, a kanelbolle to eat in cost 40 kr at Baker Hansen, 48 kr at Kaffebrenneriet, 49 kr at Starbucks and Espresso House and 57 kr at WB Samson.6 A kardemommebolle (cardamom bun) at Kruttverket cost 54 kr in January 2026.7
