For those seeking a taste of Norway in EPCOT’s World Showcase, Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe is a must-visit dining location. Located in the charming Norway Pavilion, this quaint bakery and café is the perfect place to indulge in a variety of Norwegian specialties.

One of the most popular items on the menu is the iconic school bread, a sweet and satisfying pastry filled with vanilla custard and topped with sweet coconut flakes.

For a heartier option, try the Rice Cream, a creamy rice pudding served with raspberry sauce, or the Eplekake, a delicious Norwegian apple cake. Wash it all down with a cup of Joffrey’s Coffee, Kristoff Kaffe, or Viking Coffee, and you’ll be ready to tackle the rest of your day at EPCOT.
