Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe

So excited to try all the food/​desserts! Couldn’t believe how reasonable the prices were too! Everything was good we tried a bite of each and then ranked our favorite.
1. School bread… is it because it is not a sweet bread more like thyme and rosemary, toasted coconut and then a really good filling. Yummy
2. The potato roll with butter cinnamon and sugar rolled in it. I asked them to warm it up but they said they couldn’t. It was real yummy!
3. Strawberry rice pudding. Yum!
4. The «troll horn» it looked good but just try and crumbly and the filling was only at the top. Didn’t go to the bottom
I give it 4 stars because of the original traditional yummy food and for the price and for a snack it is perfect!

Everyone talks about the school bread. But, it’s all hype.
Don’t get me wrong. I love WDW world and they definitely have some things that live up to the hype but this is not one of them.
The School Bread is basically a roll injected with cream and topped with coconut and almond shavings. The bread itself isn’t soft or flavorful by itself. The cream tastes like it was made with the cheapest ingredients on the planet. The only thing remotely okay about this are the coconut and almond flakes because you can’t really screw that up.
Seriously, don’t even waste your snack credits on this. There are much better things you can buy with your snack credits, like the Dole whip pineapple float.

It’s fun to try something new and different. Sure, the cream puffs looked yummy and I almost had one… but then the «School Bread» caught my son’s eye… and I couldn’t be happier. It was a dense roll flavored with cardamom and then filled with delicious vanilla flavored cream. More cream and toasted coconut was on top. It was toothy, subtly sweet, and absolutely delicious!

A major case of insomnia the night before visiting Epcot led me to this place, and I am SO GLAD it did! I researched several MUST TRY foods for WDW and surprisingly only one list included the School Bread here. Judging from the description and appearances alone, I wasn’t quite sold, but hey, when in Rome right.
SCHOOL BREAD: Custard filled bun topped with coconut shavings, finished by a dollop of cream.
The bread itself had the texture and sweetness of Mexican sweet bread (a bit on the dry side), while the custard was smooth and heavy similar to Japanese custard. The coconut shavings were subtle but gave it a subtle tropical lift (missing Hawaii!), and the cream is light and delicate.
I am not a sweets person, but the sweetness level here is at «Asian Pastry level». It was an international fiesta in my mouth!
All things considered, this is probably one of the best things we ate the whole trip! Not bad at $ 3.40 a pop!
The only change I’d wish to see here was if the bun was softer and more doughy on the inside and less dry and crumbly. Otherwise, AMAZING!

OK guys, I admit I cheated.
I didn’t discover Kringla using my brilliant foodie radar or expert Unilocaliness. I looked up a list online of the best things to eat and drink at Epcot/​DisneyWorld and shamelessly proceeded to the recommended spots.
Kringla in the Norway pavilion, next to the house from the movie Frozen, was one of them, and specifically the school (sweet) bread.
I am glad I cheated because that school Bread was the best darn thing I ate all day at the theme park. It is a mildly sweet pastry filled with a cool refreshing cream inside and topped with coconut and cArdamom, a very unique spice that really elevates this dessert. For $ 4, it was perfection and would have been good to split with another person.
I also ordered the Norwegian style club sandwich. This had turkey bacon ham and cheese. It is cold but you can request it to be toasted which is what I did so that I could have a melt. The sandwich was OK but a great value for a fresh item at $ 9. They also have Swedish style meatballs here but the portion looked tiny compared to the sandwiches.
PS: lots of great drinks throughout the international pavilion especially Japan where I saw a kid try to order a lychee sake before his dad came running over.

We came here to satisfy our sweet tooth urge and decided on getting the School Bread. The custard filling was so rich and creamy and I swear I could just eat that by itself like it was pudding if given the option! It was a fairly decent portion size considering it’s in a theme park, and for $ 3.40 it honestly wasn’t a rip off.

The school bread was really good to be a snack when you’re wired and waiting for your dining reservation. Always busy and crowds.

I am not a sweets guy, I enjoy the savory side of food. So while the family was on a search for sugar overload I wanted something salty. So what do I do I got to a bake shop. It is counterintuitive but I found a delicious little bite called Traditional Kjøttkake. It is Norwegian Meatballs served with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy with a little Lingonberry Jam on the potato. I devoured it in three bites. I wasn’t playing around. I think I need to visit Norway.

Two words: SCHOOL BREAD. One of the best snacks in all of Disney and definitely one of the best-​priced too. It is basically a cream-​filled bun, topped with coconut and more cream. Doesn’t sound like anything crazy, but it is crazy delicious! We devoured one and then a couple of hours later, I was still thinking about how amazing it was. So we went back to get another school bread to-​go so that I could enjoy it again.
All the countries in Epcot’s World Showcase are represented by people who are actually from that country. So when we walked into this little bakery, we were served by the nicest people from Norway. They raved about the school bread, happily stating it was the most popular pastry in all the Disney parks. I am so glad I listened, because now all my future Disney trips will be filled with this amazing pastry. They had some other tasty looking pastries, but my loyalty will now stay with the school bread.
While their seating is outside, it is covered, so it is a nice place to get out of the sun and take a break.

You have to stop in for their Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie. Delicious! I wish they had more selection… this place should be booming! Too bad Frozen is taking over the Norway exhibit at Epcot. We loved Maelstrom and enjoyed learning more about Norway.
The other pastries looked good and fresh but this carrot cake was a wonderful treat!

I don’t normally venture out of the norm, but I ordered the ham and apple sandwich. Absolutely delicious and the correct choice. It was delicious! My boyfriend had the Norwegian club and was pleased. Outside seating provided shade and had plenty of fans so it wasn’t uncomfortable in the July heat. Must stop here while at Epcot!

Great bakery! Really surprised us with how good the quality of the items are here. Everything is expensive but you do get what you pay for.
I ordered the School Bread and the Lefse. I highly, highly recommend the School Bread. It was one of my favorite treats during my week at Disney World. It is lightly flavored with cardamom and the cream inside is delectable. The Lefse was good as well although a bit plainer of a treat.
The treats were good enough that my husband went back and bought some sort of bon bon there. it was basically a tiny cake with raspberry mousse covered in chocolate. I had avoided it because of the price, but it was much tastier than I expected it to be. I am not usually a mousse cake sort of person but the mousse was very tart, not too sweet, and bursting with flavor.

We started our journey around the world at Epcot and decided to stopped by the this bakery/​café for some sweets. We decided to try the cream puff. It looked so good and very appealing. We were wrong. The bread was hard and the cream was bland. Very disappointing for the price of $ 4.79. The only thing sweet are the cashiers/​staff behind the counter. 2.5 stars and mostly because of the service.

While researching Epcot online I kept coming across School Bread from Norway. So as we were walking past China I med a decision to try the School Bread.
For once, the internet did not steer me wrong, it was so good. The bun was very light and fluffy and the custard was so good. It satisfied my sweet tooth. I only had one, but I could have had another one easily, and stop in anytime I am in Epcot.
I hope they keep some parts of Norway in the Norwegian Pavilion, and not make it into Frozenland (which has nothing to do with Norwegian culture).

Kringla is one of those places that makes me love Epcot. Located in the Norway pavilion in World Showcase, the bakery itself is super small and unassuming — but don’t let that fool you, they serve up some mean pastries.
My favorite item they serve has to be the school bread — a sweet roll stuffed with custard and topped with glaze, coconut flakes, and more custard. It’s really a treat and totally worth getting. Other standouts are the trolls horn which is a puff pastry cone filled with custard and the sweet pretzels topped with either chocolate or shaved almonds. They serve some savory sandwiches as well so it’s a good lunch option if you’re in the area.
Though the bakery itself is small, there is ample seating in the back. I make an effort to go to Kringla every time I visit Epcot — it’s a hidden gem and definitely worth it!

Norway has simple and great tasting desserts !
We ordered 4 desserts. The simple school bun, raspberry rice cream, troll cake and Rullekake (raspberry cake). School bun is a delicious cream sandwiched between two soft buns topped with coconut. Troll cake is a pastry cone filled with thick cream. Raspberry rice cream was ordinary but the Rullekake is a cake swirled with raspberry cream and powdered sugar was delicious.
Bottom line: Great tasting desserts. This place will definitely surprise you.

Located in the Norway section of the world showcase of epcot… this café is a delight for newbies who haven’t tatsted such cuisines before.
We ordered four desserts here. The school bread is a sweet bun filled with custard inside out & topped with sweetened coconut. I love both custard & coconut, this was a treat. Long horn was a hard crunchy roll filled with cream n coated with cinnamon sugar crystals. Rice cream was a creamy rice pudding with strawberry topping. This was good but I dint find it exclusive. The roullekale was like a cake roll filled with raspberry. Overall we totally loved the décor & the desserts.

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe is located in the Norway Pavilion inside of Epcot’s World Showcase. It’s a pretty small bakery but with exceptional outdoor seating. This bakery is known for their «School Bread». I never tried a school bread before so I had to give it a shot after hearing so many good things about it.
School bread is basically a roll of bread injected with a creamy rich Bavarian cream topped with coconut and almond shavings. It’s quite the treat for such a low cost. The coconut and almond shavings gives each bite a nice crunchy texture. While the inside is moist from the Bavarian cream, it does not make the entire bread soggy. I had mixed feelings about eating this because after cutting the school bread in half, it honestly did not look very special until you took a bite out of it. After that first and second bite, it really changes your mind.
Verdict — This simple little snack is easily one of my favorites in all of Disney World. It taste good, size is decent, cream filling is rich, and a price you won’t complain home about. You can use your Disney Dining plan snack for this.

This is one of the better places to eat at Disney! It’s in the Norway part of the world showcase.
We got the toast with salmon/​cream cheese/​egg/​onion. It was great, and I didn’t think it was too horribly expensive for disney. They also had a few different sandwiches and of course served beer.
They were very friendly in here, and all of their pastries looked delish!

Want to know why I love this place, in just 4 words? SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE! Going to Disney World as a dieter, diabetic or low carb eater can be tough. I’ve pouted on several occasions while my traveling companions were downing a mouse-​shaped ice cream bar or a giant cinnamon roll while I just sat there and watched. This place is a godsend if you are on a special diet and can’t eat sugar because they have an actual sugar free dessert item on their menu and it tastes good!
The bakery is very small so expect long lines when it gets overrun. There’s a small menu on offer of some simple sandwiches and lots of pastries. You can look at all the food that’s displayed in the glass case before you order (I like the «what you see is what you get» approach because I’m never disappointed in the food).
Minus one star for the cold aloofness of the employees (but dang if those charming, blonde haired, blue eyed Norwegian men aren’t drop dead gorgeous)! Worth a stop if only for the EYE candy here!
