During my time in Norway there was one coffee shop I kept coming back to again and again. In the short time that I was in Norway, I visited this little local coffee shop five times & my heart was captured. Larsen is a lovely coffee shop in the Norwegian town of Hamar. It is run by the friendliest and most beautiful Norwegian ladies who wished me luck on my journey home and made me promise to come back. They know the locals and stir up conversation with new faces. It is one of the most enchanting places to be. We even ended up giggling over vanilla lattes and taking photos with friendly strangers just moments before Laken walked down the isle.

This place just has the heart of a coffee shop and it looks like anthropologie so that is always a plus! Promise me that if you find yourself in Hamar, Norway you will pop into Larsen and experience the magic yourself! You won’t regret it! and yes, in an attempt to take the dream back home with me I bought one of the beautiful handleless glass mugs – best souvenir ever.
