Cafe Two Towers — Local services in Trondheim

Unwelcoming and Disappointing Service

This café is in a beautiful location right next to Nidaros Cathedral, making it an ideal place to enjoy a coffee. Unfortunately, the service is unwelcoming and, frankly, unacceptable.

My friends and I (architecture students) visited, hoping to enjoy the space while working on school projects. The café was nearly empty—only one other table occupied upstairs—yet we were met with hostile looks from one of the staff members. Eventually, she told us to leave, not because working there was not allowed (we saw no signs stating this, nor were we informed of such a rule), but simply because we “did not spend enough money,” even though we had purchased drinks. Given the overpriced and poorly made coffee, this felt especially unfair.

This is not the first time I’ve been here, and I’ve heard similar stories about the same staff member being rude to others. It’s especially frustrating because my friends are international and were speaking English, yet she refused to speak English to them, even though I (a Norwegian speaker) was present. The entire interaction made it clear we were not welcome.

It’s a shame because another staff member was kind, and I feel bad for anyone working in such an unaccepting environment. A café in such a historic and important location should be a place that welcomes all guests, not one that makes people feel excluded or unwanted. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who expects to be treated with...

Not to recomend, holliday sadly ruined by food poisoning. Et av flere planlagte stopp iløpet av ferien var å besøke vakkre Trondheim og etter et besøk i Nidarosdomen ble det et stop innom café to tårn for lunsj som lå behagelig nærme, desverre ble dette siste stopp i ferien da magen begynte å vrege seg iløpet av en time etter vi hadde spist her. Det som fortsatt skulle være en lengre ferie med masse opplevelser å se frem til tok fort til en brå slutt. Siden alle i bilen var syke besluttet vi oss for å vende hjem, en 6 timers biltur som ble strekt ut til 10 timer pga jevlige stopp langs veikanten. 10 timers uhyggelig biltur med brekninger og værre til som også viste seg å vare i flere dager.

Etter min opplevelse og en tidlig slutt på ferien anbefaler jeg ikke å spise her, tror ikke hver kunde har eller vil oppleve det samme, men det var en forferdelig opplevelse og en trist slutt på ferien for vår del. Planen for den neste uken var alt annet enn å kaste opp eller være sengeliggende. Vi fikk en kompensasjon i form av gavekort, noe som ikke frister etter opplevelsen. Vi spiste lunsj der og bestilte focaccia og ciabatta med forskjellige pålegg, tross forskjellige pålegg overdøvet den dominante pesto smaken alt og rettene smakte så å si det...

This is a tourist favorite conveniently located right next to the impressive Nidaros cathedral in Trondheim.

Their food is tasty and the coffee is fine, but on days with high tourist pressure, consider their neighbor cafe Ni Muser right across the...
