I should preface the following review that we might have arrived at some sort of peak time (1.40 pm on Sunday). A real mixed bag of feelings with this place, but overall recommended to visit.
The food, friendly staff and atmosphere is great. Based on the food quality and tastiness, you won't regret coming here - they serve a variety of soup and salad.
There's a story to be told with the decoration, and it's an experience.
But the service is non existent, slow and frustrating - so you need to arrive with an abundance of patience if there's any queue. I was close to falling asleep while standing in the queue.
See, their process isn't quite refined yet and it takes ages to serve each customer. We had like 5 people ahead of us and it took over 20 minutes (measured) for them to serve those 5 people what amounts to either a bowl of salad or soup each, to then serve us. And since there's no table service, you have no choice but to queue and stare for a while.

Read moreAmazing concept, very simple, but extremely delicious soups with chunky parts and very filling! We tried several, ALL were great. Friendly staff. Very busy, so consider reservating a table by droppiong by early. The medium size bowl was plenty big for a normal person. Toppings on top of that.
Only downside, is that prices and meny card are quite limited online. A medium sized soup bowl is 119 NOK with 2 free toppings, large i think was 149 NOK. Rougly the same prices for the VERY delicious bowls of salad (big portions here as well!)
In Norway, this is EXTREMELY cheap for a very healthy meal, were a pizza easily costs 200 NOK.
The interieur is nice, with old wooded panels, but expect not to sit for a long time, kinda a cafe vibe where people come and go quite quickly. Definitely not a...
Read moreMy only complaint was that there was very limited seating so we had to get take out.
With that being said, you can't go wrong eating here. The food was more affordable than most of Bergen, but the quality and portions make this a great choice (especially on a rainy day). The soup options were fantastic. My wife tried a Thai soup, while I tried more of a Tex-Mex style of soup/stew. Both allowed for customization beyond the fixed ingredients which allowed you to add a bit of your personal tastes to the existing creations. While we didn't have the "power bowls", I was shocked at the amount of food included. Definitely get the "bang for your buck" here!
On a final note, staff were exceptionally helpful and patient. They definitely helped the positive impression that we now...
