Quirky local-feel café with a very welcoming attitude. Cosy and intimate seating (upholstered couches for example) is dispersed amongst Norwegian history artefacts. There are even two private side rooms if you want more privacy. The staff were welcoming and seemed please to see us - as they did with all customers whether they seemed local or not.

Have never seen any other tourists in here, primarily young locals...tho it can be hard to tell. Can also get very popular around 5pm, with après work casualness.
Very nice coffee, gluten-free buns are available, delicious spicy gluten and lactose free soup, and modest slices of dark eyes bread atopped with...
