All the beans have been fresh (about a week off roast) when I've visited, and the owner is clearly interested and knowledgeable when it comes to coffee. Really friendly atmosphere and you can tell people enjoy hanging out here. The vinyl selection is really good for this kind of place and they play a lot of good music. Great place to sit down and hang out, but also excellent for takeout coffee.

Take it outside and watch as the locals peruse the shops for art and quirky fashion. The street is lovely and the views from the Old Town Bridge of the Nidelva river are the ones you see on all of the postcards. This is an area to spend some time in - lots of little stuff to see and great place to jump off to. The old town is close and the Cathedral is just over the River. Loads of restaurants and stuff to do very close by.

The rest of the experience was equally interactive and there were lots of memorabilia from Norwegian musicians of all kinds, and even a few glimpses into other worlds music such as the Beatles and instruments from world renowned rock stars. Awesome.

Fun for the whole family on a rainy day!…read more Rockheim is an interactive museum about Norwegian music history. I am no music expert but I still had a wonderful time. There is information both in English and Norwegian, and kids love it because it is interactive with instruments, laser guns and touch screens! Adults love it because of the music, and the reminiscing! Absolutely worth stopping by if you have the time.

Unwelcoming and Disappointing Service…read more 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 basic respect.
