1. Mjøl – One of the Best Buns in Oslo

Mjøl is our absolute favorite! The dough is beautifully fluffy, the cream filling is just right, and the glaze adds the perfect little crust. Although it's mostly a takeaway bakery, it's absolutely worth the stop.

💎 Family tip: If you visit the Sagene location, head to 📍Grabeinsletta Park just across the street. Kids will love the trampolines, the colorful climbing snake, and plenty of space to run around, while parents can enjoy their bun on one of the many benches.


2. Fabro Gård – Delicious Buns in a Beautiful Setting

Fabro Gård serves buns that practically melt in your mouth. The location is just as special as the pastries, with cozy indoor and outdoor seating surrounded by greenery.

💎 Family tip: Little ones will love exploring the garden and saying hello to the chickens, making this much more than just a bakery stop.


3. Kveitemjøl – Generous Buns by the Fjord

If you love generously sized, super-soft buns, Kveitemjøl is a must-visit. They also offer cream-filled options, and the café is spacious, stroller-friendly, and equipped with high chairs.

Located at Aker Brygge, it's the perfect place to enjoy your bun with a view of the Oslo Fjord.

💎 Family tip: Just a five-minute walk away you'll find the famous 📍Lobster Playground, where kids can climb on the giant lobster and peek inside.


4. Braud Bakeri – Delicious and Affordable Buns in Oslo

Some of the most delicious and affordable buns in Oslo (our favorite is the pistachio one!). They also serve svele, a traditional Norwegian pancake, and we're obsessed with their club sandwich—the portions are generous enough to share with little ones.

💎 Family tip: It's just a 5-minute walk to the iconic 📍Vigeland Park, where you can explore over 200 sculptures, and don't miss 📍Frognerborgen playground—one of Oslo's best, with castles and plenty of climbing fun!


5. Boulangerie M – A French Bakery That's Great for Families

Boulangerie M is well worth visiting for both the buns and its incredible selection of pastries.

It's also one of the most family-friendly bakeries in Oslo, with books, games, high chairs, and a changing table that make café visits with little ones much easier.

💎 Family tip: Afterwards, take a stroll through 📍Kampen, one of Oslo's most colorful and charming neighborhoods. And don't miss 📍Kampen Minibygård—it's completely free to visit, and kids will love meeting the farm animals!


6. Handbakt – A Cozy Bakery in Tøyen

Handbakt is a cozy neighborhood bakery that's especially great for families. Their gluten-free and lactose-free buns are delicious, and the café offers high chairs, a welcoming atmosphere, and a spacious outdoor terrace.

💎 Family tip: You're surrounded by fantastic playgrounds. Just across the road is 📍Håkons gate nabolagspark with its adorable wooden cows, while a short walk brings you to 📍Sørli lekeplass, one of our favorite climbing playgrounds in Oslo.
