Sunday Café at Karljohansvern

Every Sunday, Cafe con Bar welcome you to Sunday Waffles in Horten.
Share a good moment over freshly made waffles with the famous and uniquely Norwegian brown cheese.

Café con Bar is located in the cosy yellow building at Karljohansvern in Horten.

It’s the perfect place to stop after a leisurely walk through the calm and historic surroundings of Karljohansvern. At the same time, the café is well worth a visit on its own. Both options offer a pleasant experience.

Inside, you’re greeted by the aroma of freshly baked waffles and freshly brewed coffee. Hot waffles with delicious toppings are served alongside homemade cakes and simple, tasty food. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, in a setting shaped by history and quiet surroundings.

On sunny days, the area comes alive. Then it’s especially nice to sit down with a refreshing drink outdoors, or enjoy the cosy indoor space. 

Whether you live in Horten or are visiting, this is a lovely place for a relaxed Sunday.
