This little farmhouse cafe is a wonderful spot to sit and watch the fjord slide by. Treats on offer include homemade fruit juices, raspberry lemonade and honey from the farm, plus a snacky menu of sandwiches, cakes and possibly the best waffles this side of Sognefjord, slathered with the farm's own blueberry jam.
