Stopped by here in October for coffee and cake. It’s a great low key place where the locals seem to gather. It’s a combination of a store (that has some hand made knit items) and a coffee shop. The coffee was good and the apple cake was terrific. I would highly recommend stopping here if you prefer less touristy places.

On our way to Bergen from Hardanger we decided to have a break and stopped at the quaint village of Dale, at Petersens Handleri in particular. This sweet coffee shop cum souvenir and fishing shop was being ably handled by a very sweet woman. She offered us amazing baguettes, coffee and most of all, card and courtesy. Lived this place
