Craig Alibone Pâtisserie

The mushroom and grilled paprika sandwich could have had more filling to be more tasty. The Exotic Snowball confection had a light cream inside a white chocolate crust and a fruit semi-liquid inside. There were a few flavours like rose, which I couldn't taste, because other fruit flavours dominated. Perhaps the recipe could be refined? I sampled two chocolate bars. Their strength is in capturing the flavours of other ingredients in the chocolate. The chocolate quality is also good, as one would expect from a chocolatier. The cafe is stylish and overlooks the production kitchen. I only wish there was more space between the tables, because I don't wish to hear other people's conversations.

My friend was visiting Bødo for a celebratory weekend and I contacted the store to ask if an order could be delivered to her hotel for her birthday. Really quick replies from Craig, nothing was any trouble for him (despite all my questions and issues trying to make an international payment!) and the order was delivered safely and was waiting for her on her return from her day out. She was absolutely over the moon and it really made her day extra special. Thank you so much for Craig and the team!! I appreciate all your efforts and my friend loved her cake and chocolates 💕💕💕

Quite simply and plainly the best dessert I’ve had in my 44 years and 4 months on this planet. It was so delicious (cake, chocolate and macaroon) the at I had to go back the 2nd day to try different flavors of the same order. Lovely ambiance, helpful and energetic French woman working the counter. This is a must stop in Arctic Norway.

Visited this place on my recent visit to Bodø. We had particularly booked a table and set aside time to visit this place. When we reached there, the staff was warm and friendly but we did not get one of the reserved tables. And the staff didn’t really help in that matter. They simply mentioned take whatever seat is available. If so, what was the point of reserving a place prior to visiting. Other than that, the staff explained us the menu really well. We went with brunch option (which is set and cannot be changed apparently), coffee and some cakes along with it. All in all a cozy little cafe vibe place, clean bathroom, and delicious food. We had a good time tasting variety of cake flavour. Probably a good stop if you are visiting the town, and enjoy the variety of cake and chocolate menu that they offer. But don’t bother or worry about prior booking, I don’t think that really helps in any case. Maybe when it’s a busy season. But otherwise it’s okay just to walk in. Also the menu prices are little on the expensive side, so could be good value to go for set brunch option.

Incredible desserts and the most beautiful chocolate ever. It also tastes great.

Wow. Simply wow. So glad I stumbled upon this patisserie on my last day in Bodø. We tried a variety of pastries, chocolates, and hot drinks. Everything was delicious. A highlight was the impeccably crafted mango mouse pastry (see photo). We ended up buying an additional one to share afterwards. I’m jealous of those in Bodø for having such a lovely bakery and I am already dreaming of returning. This place is a gem and I highly recommend all locals and visitors to visit.

Amazing patisserie in the centre of Bodø. Everything is really high quality and delicious. Recommend the lemon merigue croissant and all of the cakes. Coffee is also very good. A must visit in Bodø if you like fine cakes. Warning, for those that like really sweet cakes, this is not the place for you.

Outstanding cakes! The Coconut was amazing - I regret only getting one. The raspberry pistachio is another piece of pastry art not to be missed. We also had croissants, which were wonderfully laminated and light in both chocolate and sandwich form. 9.7/10
