First time to Nordic House because I heard it on NPR California Report. Had to rush over there because Christmas Eve they were closing at 1pm.
Metered parking out front of their store, almost got a ticket because I thought Xmas Eve was a Holiday, Nope. Meter maid was out next to my car & I bolted to the meter to add some quarters. Geez, that was close.
Lots of stuff from Denmark, Sweden, Germany, etc.
Stickers, license plate holder, Swedish clogs $48.50/pair; cute Christmas dolls, candies, stollen, etc.
We asked the guy if we could try their house-made herring. They have Curry, Sour Cream, & Pickled. We liked them all, but the Pickled one was our favorite. Pint $7.50; Quart $13.85.
Glogg - some wine with sugar, raisin drink you can buy in a bottle. I just liked the name.
Got a jar of Beauvais Red Beets $5.95 cuz a girl was buying several jars, I figured I could give it a try.
Housemade pork meatballs 1lb for $8.95. B. wanted to try it. He also picked up some Knorr classic brown gravy package $1.75.
No sandwiches until 2013 - holidays too busy.
Get on their mailing list so when they have an Open House next Thanksgiving weekend we can go.
Charged our purchases. 5% off next purchase over $50 with our receipt. Separate bathrooms in the back.

There are lots of reports on the old location in Oakland. It hasn't changed much.
