WHY GO

Make this a coffee-and-pastry pause on Hollywood Road. Venner took over the former Hjem space with a Nordic café menu centred on small-batch bakes and coffee. A flat white is a good starting point beside the rye cinnamon-and-cardamom bun; the Norwegian custard bun, skolebrød, gives you another reason to look at the counter. Choose it for a conversation and something freshly baked, with time to settle into the small room.

OUR ORDER

A flat white with a cinnamon-and-cardamom bun. Ask about the cinnamon bun latte if you prefer a sweeter coffee, or the Norwegian custard bun when it is on the counter.
