Ok, I know there will be non-believers who read this, but you're just going to have to trust me on this one .... I only have 4 words for you: Norwegian Chicken Lefse Melt Yep, I know. Clear all of the Ole and Lena jokes from your mind; this is not your Grammy's lefse. This large, fresh and tasty round of lefse is filled with grilled chicken, spinach, mushroom, onion, red pepper, swiss, mozzarella and asiago cheese. Sprinkled on top was, I think, shredded Jarlsberg. The lefse was very fresh and was full of flavor, not like that cold flat-pack crap in the dairy aisle that Grammy used to serve with melted butter and lutefisk (gag). I LOVED this meal. L-O-V-E-D. I only wish more "wrap" type sandwiches came in lefse instead of boring old dry tortillas -- what a difference! I can't wait to go back. Also, the bakery at ToS is the best, bar none. If you really want to impress dinner guests, serve ToS's Scandinavian Strawberry Torte (three layers of yellow sponge cake with one layer of chocolate mousse and whipped cream and one layer of raspberry jam and fresh sliced bananas. Garnished with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and a sprinkle of slivered almonds). Your guests will spontaneously combust, so make sure you have something to sweep up the ashes and gold fillings.

I have eaten here several times and was pleased each time. I have tried their baked goods and hot dishes including the desert and meal lefses... Yum! The atmosphere is ok, but the food is great. Definitely worth stopping in and trying something new

Very tasty!

First time going to bakery / restaurant, bakery goods are very tasty, coffee is good, have free wifi although I had difficulty getting onto service. Had a pulled pork sandwich for lunch which was very good!

Yummmmm. This is the main location. They will often have items here that north oaks has sold out; plus, it's a lot roomier and more peaceful than the north oaks location. The food/pastries/soups/sandwiches are great. Not cheap food, but worth every penny and yummy too.

was in area to check out a furniture store (Hom) and stopped by for lunch tried the Norwegian chicken lefse melt where lefse is a (pretty big) flatbread, strongly recommend trying it out if you head there portion size very fulfilling :-)

I met some friends at Taste of Scandanavia Bakery & Cafe in Shoreview, MN this past weekend. I had already eaten breakfast - but sat there, with envy emanating from my body while they ate the most delicious looking breakfast I've seen in a long time. One ordered the Sicilian Scramble with potatoes, eggs, cheese, sausage with asiago cheese and salsa...the other ordered a Ham, egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich. Seriously, my mouth was watering. Plus, they have a bakery case full of delectable donuts, rolls, breads, muffins, etc. I can't believe my will power. The cafe was busy. We had to wait for a table - and once we were seated we felt a little guilty for lingering since there were other people waiting as well. It was lively (aka loud), but I was able to hear my companions just fine. The prices were very reasonable and the portions were ample! The cafe is located in a strip mall - so there is plenty of parking in the lot in front of the strip. I will return with my husband so we can try it together.

Good food. I've had breakfast's here and salads. You can't beat their house salad. Always the local client all and usually busy. Coffee is always good. I also visit the high way 96 location and like that one also

We stopped in for lunch on a day when the rain was just pouring down. The cheerful interior and great food did a lot to lift the spirits! We had the Swedish Breakfast and Mom had the Swedish Pancakes. Everything was really good. This is the first time I've ever been to a Scandinavian place in the States that used fresh lingonberries. They also piled high other berries, which made for a very refreshing meal. I would definitely come back again the next time I venture up to the St. Paul / Minneapolis area. We really enjoyed it.

If you're looking for something sweet, check out their lefse, crepes, frenchtoast or cake. It's heavenly divine!

I'm 75% Scandinavian, everyone. Brought up in a family that celebrates that fact, we made lefse (ohmygoshyum!), lutefisk (yuck), and other Scandinavian treats every year for as long as I can remember, and probably even longer than that. When my friend suggested we check this place out for brunch, I was pretty excited. This place makes their own lefse, which - if you either haven't had it, or have only had the store-bought version - should make your mouth water. These people do it right. I had a sampler of french toast with apples and Swedish pancakes (We call them "tunpankaka"... which translates to "thin pancake". Think crepe, but better because it's Swedish.) with lingon berries. (Lingon berries can be compared loosely to cranberries, but in miniature, if you didn't know) My food was great! As was my husband's. It was some mixture of things stuffed into Lefse. The atmosphere was quaint with a no-fuss attitude towards decorating, but not skimping on cleanliness. Prices are reasonable. If you're not in the mood for a full meal, they are a bakery as well. Their day-old bread can be rifled-through at discounted prices. I wish they had a location close to me. I'd be back again and again.

A nice surprise! We were looking for somewhere close and different for lunch so we stopped here. They have a good selection of soups, sandwiches, wraps, and even a couple of Greek dishes. Tasty salads and wonderful baked goods too. I had a huge, fresh avocado tuna wrap and my friend had the Spinach Pie made with flaky filo dough and feta (delish) served with pita, cucumber sauce, and tomatoes. We'll be back.

I have to lower my rating. I really didn't want to but I must. We have been here several times since I wrote my initial review. Although the food has remained somewhat consistent, the order takers are just shy of being rude. They clearly hate working there. What really makes me lower this, however, is what happened at our most recent visit. We tried to order burgers but they said they were not making burgers that day...Really??? Why is that? I have a feeling I know why. They seemed really really short staffed that day and probably did not want to take the time to make them. That really does not make sense though because we then ordered Eggs Benedict which can be time consuming as well. Terrible Eggs Benedict-Hard poached eggs...Hollandaise sauce was lumpy and it all was pretty much lukewarm. We were in a hurry so we just ate it but I think I will not visit for quite some time.
(2)Nicole S.
Eggs Benedict was disgusting. English muffin wasn't toasted, a soggy mess overall. The leftse scramble was made with powder eggs. Would not go here again.
(1)Jennifer S.
Having been here twice over the past few months I thought it time to write a review. Their coffee is good. It's a fill-your-own style place. Their pulla rolls are not all that good (a sweet bread with cardamom). They've been dried out each time I've had them. They're much better at Finnish Bistro. I think it's really nice they put out samples of their baked goods for people to try. Their counter service is just so-so. Unfortunately, I've found them to be not that friendly to interact with.
(2)Gary H.
I purchased a cake online for a birthday. Outstandingly delicious! Highly recommend. When I called to confirm the order/pick up date/time, the people on the phone sounded harried and unfriendly, however.
(3)Mark A.
I tried a sample of chocolate old time donut, cinnamon roll, and croissant. Overall, I would try another bakery. This is not the taste for me. The croissant was buttery but way to big and more bread-ie than croissant like. The old time donut was good and would recommend. The cinnamon roll looks great. However, their use of cardamon as a spicing in there did not go with the roll. I use cardamon in my tea not my cinnamon rolls. But they probably sell a lot of them and if you like that taste, go for it. Kids probably will not go for something that is not traditional flavor. I wish it would have rated higher, but not worth a second try.

We stopped in here while looking for a local place to eat. I figured, "Taste of Scandinavia", I'd order something Scandinavian...but then I saw that they had burgers...so I ordered a "Swedish Burger"...but I was told that it would take 20-30 minutes. That threw me a little...I don't think I've ever seen any kind of burger from start to finish take anywhere near that long, but whatever....so instead, I ordered the Swedish Meatballs, because when in Rome... The meatballs came out fairly quickly and there were about 8 of them with very good Swedish meatball gravy and some mashed potatoes and lingenberries. Altogether, it was very good. The cafe itself was fairly small and not crowded, but we did go in at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, so that may have had a bit to do with it. Still a little thrown by a 30 minute burger, however.

Great place hidden away in a tacky little suburb but worth the drive. Food is great, will be back to try many more items on the menu.
(4)Sarah C.
Spanakopita? Err....We bought pastries and booked it outta here. The whole place looked clean, but the actual menu didn't thrill us too much. Pastries were as to be expected: big, sweet and unhealthy. Good place to stop after hiking around with the dog.

My husband and I, with the help of most of my family, tried many, many types of wedding cake all over the Twin Cities, but nothing was nearly as good as the Scandinavian Stawberry Torte at Taste of Scandinavia. The cake has three layers of yellow sponge cake with one layer of chocolate mousse and whipped cream and one layer of raspberry jam and fresh sliced bananas and strawberries. It has a whipped cream frosting. After the wedding, I had multiple people ask me where I had found the cake, because they had loved it so much. In addition to being the best-tasting cake in the Twin Cities (in my opinion), it was also one of the most reasonably priced - both the tiered cake and especially the sheets (which you can use if you need extra cake). The service at Taste of Scandinavia was also really great - they were happy to do any design that we sent them a photo of (as long as it was technically possible with whipped cream frosting). We ended up going with a simple design with yellow ribbon and fresh yellow flowers, and it turned out beautifully.

Not your basic buttermilk pancake! Super thick! If you need a good breakfast spot check this place out.
(4)Megan S.
Great place for a little breakfast date :-) I've gone here a couple times now for coffee and a great meal with a special someone. It's been pretty quiet there when I've been in, with a few adorable elderly couples enjoying their morning coffee. Such a nice atmosphere.
(5)S. D.
Kids love their donuts and cookie and visit there often. We are thankful to have this great place in the neighborhood.
