Coffee consumtion in Norway may surprise you.

Here's a stat for you:

Norway has the second-highest per capita coffee consumption, with over 80 percent of its population drinking coffee on a daily basis. Not only are Norwegians drinking coffee every day, but they are also having multiple cups. The average number of cups of coffee consumed by Norwegians is over four! So they know their coffee pretty well.

​

In bergen they make their own brand called Friele coffee. You will find these coffee bags in almost every home in Bergen. Because of this high demand its no surprise that Bergen is littered with small local independent coffee shops and also some of the big chain coffee shops are here.

​

Id suggest if your time is limited when you visit, you should definitely try a local independent place rather than the big chains.

​

The smaller ones have a true coffee shop vibe. relaxed, welcoming and smelling amazing. Norwegians love a skillingsboller too ( cinnamon bun ) so you'll find these in most coffee shops.

During the day coffee shops are bristling with tourists and local people, mixing together for that one goal, a caffeine fix.

​

Here are a few price examples for coffee and for some fantastic buns and cakes, please be aware most places display 2 prices, one is for take out and the other is to sit at the café wether inside or outside.

​

Local Independent Coffee Shop

Espresso = 40kr ranges from 35kr - 55kr

Black Coffee filtered: seasonal Brew = 35kr ranges from 30kr - 55kr depending on the size

Cappucino = 45kr ranges from 40kr - 65 kr

Caffé Latté = 50kr ranges from 48kr - 60kr

​

Tea Earl grey / Breakfast = 40kr ranges from 38kr - 50kr

​

Frapino / frappicino = 80kr ranges are very varied for these dependent on size and flavour. 80 - 120kr in some places.

​

Apple juice / Orange Juice = 59kr

​

Major Chain Coffee Shops

Espresso = 37

Black Coffee filtered: seasonal Brew = 37kr ranges from 37kr - 65kr depending on the size

Cappucino = 59kr

​

The ice drinks are pretty much the same in price for independent and chain coffee shops

Frapino / frappicino = 80kr ranges are very varied for these dependent on size and flavour. 80 - 120kr in some places.

​

Remember the closer to the Bergen Fish Market you are, the more you will pay as it's the main tourist area. If you take a little walk you may find that the Coffee you bought for 55Kr is now only 39kr at a local coffee shop off the beaten track.
