    Eclectic bar and cafe with friendly staff and patrons. If you're looking for a great place to get coffee and waffles, look no further.

    My 200th review! Our Norwegian adventure had to include this place. It's the chandeliers that first got my attention (a sucker for elaborate lighting) but of course it's the promise of good coffee that got me inside. As it happens, we arrive here for a night cap on a cold October evening and immediately I'm struck by the lovely, laid back atmosphere. I would love something like to this to be in Birmingham but wonder if our drinking culture means the coffee would be over looked come the darker hours in favour of beer and worse, the beautiful interior being ruined by the odd out-of-control drunks! Anyway, the highlight was actually the DJ playing an erratic mix of old rock tunes! The drinks? We had a Blondie (basically a white hot chocolate concoction) and an After Eight Latte. Not normally drinks I would go for in a coffee shop by any stretch of the imagination but we were swept away by the lovely vibes! Only 4 stars because Norway is so crazily pricy!

    The bathroom - art everywhere!

    This place is absolutely darling! Lots of unexpected decorations and delights AND the food was AMAZING. I've never had waffles like that in my life. It tasted like happiness. I also got hot cider with some spice in it - it warmed me up and made me feel alive! Great atmosphere, great food, and great people - you couldn't ask for anything more!

    Best. Waffles. Ever. The traditional waffles with the sour cream and hindebaer jam was amazing. Only sad that we found this place on our last night in Bergen. The bar vibes were cool and eclectic. There's a variety of board games to play which is always fun!

    Colorful, crazy and somehow calming decor!

    Read about this spot through my Norway research, but when we stumbled past it on a bike ride through Bergen- we got excited... The decor was fun and funky for sure, we found the back courtyard, which we had to ourselves! So on a sunny day we had the most enjoyable time AND the most delicious waffles!

    Such a unique place!! Went here and had a delicious beer that the bartender recommended. You can relax, play board games, and drink and eat with the locals In a tourist area of Bergen. The décor is unique and colorful

    Great place, fun decorations. Loved the cream cheese and raspberry jam waffle and cappuccino in a rainy day. The perfect stop!

    Cute place we stopped by prior to going up the funicular. Fun colors and bright. Drink was warm and satisfying on a chilly day in Bergen. This would be a great time to hang out and relax for awhile.

    Great decor

    Want a cool, funky place where you can relax over a coffee or beer/cider and waffle snack while listening to great tunes off of a real jukebox? Search no further. The decor is eye candy for locals and tourists alike, and as it has a bar as well as barista (name says it all) it's bound to be just as great at night. If you're in Bergen/Bryggen, don't miss this off the beaten path hang out.

    Sweet place! We had a couple of nicely done waffles - one sweet one savory and a couple of drinks. Kitschy cool interior (hippie chic +), great music, nice staff - an excellent place to take a load off while walking Bergen/Bryggen.

    Umbrellas everywhere!

    1st bar I ran into when I arrived in Bergen, very nice place! Crazy place with umbrellas and dolls hanging upside down, large selection of beer and great pain is served with mayo, salad and tomatoes on a nice plate. I recommend this place!

    We made this place into our home away from home. The servers were very friendly and the decor is sooo unique and has soooo much character. They have an outside patio for smokers and sell coffee as well as alcohol. The food was delicious, mainly sandwiches and waffles but they were more than what they sound. Absolutely will refer this place to others visiting in Bergen Norway.

    Pingvinen - Fish pie and blueberry soda

    After our late arrival into Bergen we decided to eat some Norwegian fish dishes at Pingvinen…read more We arrived at the right time and got seated at the back table. Service was fairly quick. Menu contained a number of Norwegian dishes of seafood, meat (including reindeer) and vegetarian. We knew ahead of time we wanted to try the plukkfisk and gratinated fish pie. The pie was the best dish for us that night. It had a nice and creamy texture along with a crunch on the crust due to the frying. It was a light dish compared to the plukkfisk. The plukkfisk was quite heavy with this fish/mashed potato mixture and while the fried bacon added some texture it could've used a little more acid for our tastes.

    Came by for lunch the other day and it was a phenomenal experience. Pingvinen is a gastropub…read morelocated a touch away from the main Sentrum strip. They have free wifi and the password is at the bottom of one of the blackboard behind the bartender. Opted for the reindeer filet and it was excellent. The reindeer was cooked to a perfect medium and seared to perfection on the outside. The flavors were excellent and this was served with a side of fried potatoes, green beans along with a bed of creamy mushroom. The vibes from the Gen Z staff were lit too. Seems like they were complaining about bf issues... Pricing may be elevated as I'm not sure if this was a tourist trap as I didn't see any locals. 495 NOK for lunch.
