Fun wine bar! We visited Frille og Dyvekes Vinkjeller early on a Thursday evening, and it was…read moremostly empty. A mix of British and American pop music from the 70s and 80s played during our visit. The wine bar is extremely cute and is spread across three different rooms. One room styled like a traditional pub, another room is styled like a Victoria lounge with overstuffed wooden chairs, patterned rugs, and coffee tables, and the final room is tucked inside the cellar with eclectic furniture. The wine I tried from Portugal was excellent. Overall, I had a great experience at Frille og Dyvekes Vinkjeller and would highly recommend visiting them if you like wine bars.

I pointed out that it wasn't a martini, and he feigned a language barrier, pointed to the fizzy drink, and said, "Martini like Coke?." I'm glad this bar has fat profit margins, and so they don't need return business.

We ordered avocado toast and iced mocha. Food is good, and they have good pastries too! I just didn't like my iced mocha much because the chocolate they used isn't melted.

There are some nice chairs by the window with a call and quiet atmosphere for a chat, a good read, or contemplative stare into the harbour. After reading the reviews, we stayed away from the staples (eg croissants) and instead tried the specialty goods. We are a gorgeous orange mousse cake that was equally delicious with passion fruit mousse. It had a nice somewhat crisp outside and an incredible soft creamy mouthfeel with just enough sweetness and tart. The cake sponge was fluffy and chewy, as you'd hope.

"Into each life some rain must fall" (Ella Fitzgerald and The Ink Spots)…read more What does rain symbolize in the arts? Is it sadness, rejection, or despair (as Ernest Hemingway evoked in "A Farewell to Arms") or is it rebirth, emotional cleansing & relief, and happiness (as in that "most romantic movie ever", The Notebook, towards which my feelings approximate its Rotten Tomatoes score... of 52%)? Regardless of your feelings and emotional state of the day i.e. treating dessert as an indulgence or as food therapy, I believe Sweet Rain deserves to be a part of your experience as either a local or a tourist in Bergen - and I'm mystified that I'm the first to review (on yelp) this fine Nordic inspired French themed patisserie... or, is it a French inspired Nordic patisserie? As I peered over the extensive sweet selection, a veritable downpour, of delectable treats in this confectionery store and café, it didn't help my decision process to spot a spinach pie that hinted at the Bulgarian heritage of the owner(s). But, it certainly helped me balance the salt/sugar ratio of my diet for the day. I also picked up a selection of distinctive cookies for my friend's family - and they spoke glowingly of the Lemon and Lavender cookies, brown cheese cookies with white chocolate, and the almond shortbread. But, I was here for the pastries - and sampled many during my stay in Bergen. I would think an interpretation of the Chocolate Souffle or of the Trio petit cake is almost ubiquitous at French themed patisseries worldwide, and so one can probably skip those in favor of a dessert unique to Sweet Rain. Of those, I particularly liked the aesthetics and flavors of Passion and Desire (passion fruit mousse with chocolate), Caramel Sun (caramel mousse, pretzel base), and Thea (named after the owner's daughter: (70% chocolate, orange marmalade, nougat, and Hazelnut biscuit). But, I could just as well recommend the brown cheese cheesecake that's unique on account of the primary ingredient. Sweet Rain has a lot to offer. I don't expect everyone to fall in love with their croissants or other viennoiseries (I wasn't tempted and focused instead on the cakes); some may love their macarons, others may not. But, you will surely find it a unique experience in Bergen: warm and relaxing for those seeking a break from their travels, open kitchen for the curious, breadth of selection for the greedy (like moi), minimalistic but beautiful aesthetic for those demanding both form AND function, free wifi, friendly and knowledgeable service, and far from the madding crowds (perhaps explaining my FTR). But, your walk here will allow you a glimpse of one of the most photographed tourist attractions in Bergen across the water. That much is not up for interpretation, or debate. I know you don't have too many data points, but trust me on Sweet Rain... (4.5 stars rounded up)

We found it on Google Maps, verified it with the Yelp app and got warm and cozy here after a drizzly morning. We opted to sat inside in one of the high tops by the window in this very intimate coffee shop. Some patrons were enjoying their cup of joes outside by the two-top tables with provided blankets. The Lemon Tart and Kaffe Mocha Mint was our unanimous choice for a midday snack and drink as we weren't that famished yet even after the hour long hike from Floyen. F&D were both really good. Props to the Lemon Tart which wasn't too sweet for a pie. Crew was helpful and spoke good English. This "Little Coffee Company" deserves the accolades that were posted allover the place including the toilet which had plaques dating way back in 2002.
