"Stopped in here for breakfast. The lattes were amazing. The sourdough bread is perfect - crispy crust and chewy interior. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere."
Cheryl Kaye
"First of all, the coffee here was amazing. The oat milk cappuccino was perfect. The goat cheese and spinach omelet with honey and walnuts took forever, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The bread on the side was delicious as well. The interior was very well designed and had a warm and inviting vibe. I absolutely recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Tromsø!"
Paul Osswald
"Stopped here for a morning coffee and although the coffee was good and the latte art very beautiful, service was much on the slow side. If you’re in a hurry, think twice about stopping here, but if you have plenty of time to spare it’s a good location to watch the surprising hustle and bustle of the streets outside, or the falling snow all in the comfort of a warm cafe, coffee or hot chocolate in hand."
