A small cheese shop and cafe combined in one storefront. They are the sole vendors of a particular local cheese. They also offer seasonal fresh juices. We were served a delightful fresh raspberry juice. It was the perfect refreshment to break our hike through Vik.

Loved the raspberry juice, so fresh and delicious. And we tried the Gamalost cheese. The first few times I wasn’t a fan, but it grew on me. The guy working here was very knowledgeable and helpful, and had good suggestions for tasty combinations to eat with the Gamalost. Also, he made really delicious sandwiches.
