An entry from Norway - Aurora Cruise journal, by Helen Tanhaie
An Arctic Starbucks is the best way to describe this café . This café is right in the main high street of Tromsø opposite the Lutheran cathedral, and ideal place to stay out of the subzero temperatures and sip warm coffee or hot chocolate as the locals pass by outside the window.
Meal
Hot coffee, chocolate and tea. A nice selection of salad, sandwiches, cakes and pancakes to match.
Atmosphere and decor
The external faced has a charismatic horizontal feather boarding reminiscent of the pioneering days. The large windows provide a pleasant way to allow the hustle and bustle of Tromsø to enter the café. Inside the wooden floor gives it s real rustic feel and the wooden vertical panelling along with the bookshelves scattered amongst the wall invite the visitor to sit drink and ponder as you warm up from the subzero temperatures outside.
Dress code
Casual, what else in an arctic town? I certainly wouldn't be wearing my high heels ;-)
Locality
This café is right bang in the centre of Tromsø opposite the Tromsø Lutheran cathedral.
Service
It’s a café, they’re busy, order your coffee, go and sit down. Nevertheless, they seem ready to chat and help a traveller.
