Det Lille Kaffekompaniet

Firstly, the coffee. I am still looking for the best flat white in Norway. Det Lille Kaffekompaniet has come close but today the coffee was not hot enough. The coffee beans used had a very smooth and delicious flavor and the coffee was the correct double shot strength. The milk was creamy and that made the cappuccino enjoyable. Overall a good attempt and recommended. The service was good and they brought the coffee to you. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating for nice days.

Such an amazing coffee shop! The staff were all so nice and my iced latte was delicious. I love the views that you can get from the cafe and the little neighborhood is so adorable. Sad I didn’t get to try any pastries but my fault for going so late in the afternoon. Highly recommend!

Hard working crew here. Baked goods were tasty but the cappuccino was the star of the show. My only criticism is that there isn't really a good place to wait when it's busy as it's pretty tight in there, and you likely will be waiting at least a few minutes. Your best bet is getting your coffee and/or treat and finding a shady/quiet spot nearby to enjoy it.

Top coffee – best in town! Easily the best we’ve had in Norway so far. A little hidden, but 1000% worth finding. Cozy spot, great quality.

Came here to escape the rain after scaling the Floyen hike. It’s right by the entrance to the tram which takes you all the way up. Came inside to this very cozy but pleasant atmosphere! Not a tonne of seating but the place overall is small and quaint in general. Ordered the cappuccino macadamia + the mocha and both tasted very warm and comforting.

Delicious coffee and mint hot chocolate! The carrot cake is a must-try—absolutely delightful. On a sunny day, sitting outside the shop is a treat; it’s simply lovely.

My sister and I visited Det Lille Kaffekompaniet after reading that the café—or at least the building it’s in—has been around for over 200 years! That alone gave it such a charming, historic feel. It’s a tiny little gem tucked away in Bergen, and although the inside seating was full, we sat outside and actually loved the cozy atmosphere with the fresh air. We ordered a slice of their carrot cake topped with a creamy frosting that had a hint of lemon in it—absolutely delicious! Moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The highlight for my sister was the flat white, which was recommended by the super friendly barista. She loved it! You could really taste the quality of the coffee, and the milk was steamed just right. Even though it’s a small space, the staff made it feel warm and welcoming. It’s the kind of café that makes you want to linger and soak in the surroundings. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in Bergen and want a taste of good coffee, great dessert, and a cozy slice of history.

A charming little coffee shop near the Floyen funicular This small, long-standing café is full of charm, with a cozy, homey atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at ease. The milk coffee here is truly the star — smooth, fragrant, creamy, and comforting with every sip. They offer a great selection of coffee beans, and I already want to come back for more. I paired my coffee with a slice of fresh carrot cake and some just-baked cookies — the perfect fuel to keep exploring! If you’re heading up to the top of Floyen, I highly recommend stopping by this café first to warm up before your mountaintop adventure.

Super cute cafe. It's located close to the gondola. They offer a selection of teas and coffees as well as some bakery goods. Highly recommend trying a slice of one of the cakes (or both) - they're amazingly good. Service is good - the batista let me try different teas which was super nice. Since it's a tiny cafe, seating is pretty limited but they do have some tables outside. They sell packaged tea and coffee as well.

Cute little cafe on a cobbled street of Bergen, short walk from the fish market. I usually like my coffee with some sugar in it. The macadamia cappuccino was not sweet but tasted wonderful without having to add any sugar. So creamy. The cappuccinos in Norway are generous sized in general.

I have to start by saying that the carrot cake and oatmeal cookies were to die for. Unlike a lot of European desserts, they were nice and sweet like my American taste is used to. At the same time, they tasted super homemade and you could see the real carrots inside the cake. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the girl behind the counter made the cake and cookies that morning. Sooooo yummy. Also, I love how many cool options of drinks they have. I had lingonberry juice for the first time there, which was delicious. However, I'm taking a star off for the fact that they didn't have about half the drinks offered on their menu. A little misleading. You were especially limited to black coffee. I actually originally didn't want the juice- I'd tried to order a hot apple cider drink, but was told they didn't have it. I then overheard her telling other customers they didn't have several of the drinks people tried to order. That being said, it's a great atmosphere with a good amount of seating. Free water too. And a great location cause it's right next to all the crazy downtown and the funicular but it's tucked away just enough to not be a tourist trap or get too insanely crowded late morning the way some of the bakeries down the hill do. My one other wish, besides being able to drink cool coffee drinks there, would be for them to open a little earlier. I wish that about a lot of bakeries here, so I know it might be cultural, but I feel like they would make a lot of money off the hungry American tourists who want breakfast before 10. And because Bergen is much more touristy than Oslo, I would think catering toward them to make more money would maybe make sense.

Love the baked goods, coffee and hot chocolate. Great location right by bottom station of Fløibanen (funicular). Sorry to say area is touristy, which can make coffee shop people impersonal, but not at Det Lille. Thankfully, they did not rush us and treated us like regulars who had been visiting for years.

Good carrot cake but expensive. Over 50nkr. Free water you serve yourself. Inside and outside seating. Coffee drinks looked good and had nice presentation. Cute little place and they have wifi.

Small small cute coffee place, near the funicular. Everything you do don't sit by the window during winter time, I know those are the most hunted places but it feels colder than being outside. Now, the coffee was very good but what will stick in my memories is the special carrot cake, which I normally dislike, but here was delicious. Small cute bathroom, covered with hundreds of posters and paintings inside. Wifi pass: aeropress

My favorite coffee shop in all of Norway not just Bergen. Went here with my husband while on our honeymoon. Their mocca is short of perfect. The barista made it with precision and care and I'm pretty sure love! They also have delicious pastries. The location is small and coz.

Bergen's oldest coffee shop, and still a fairly good 'un! Cakes are better than coffee, and make sure you ask about coffee sizes. Combine with a trip up Fløien! I used to live right on the other side of the little street this place is in, and this is where I learned to love coffee. Naturally, I'll be a little bit biased. However, I'll keep this as on-point as I can. The place hasn't changed much since back in 2005. Still tiny and cozy with as much outside seating as inside (which doesn't say much. There are three tables inside plus window seating). In fact, the bar takes up about a third of the entire café space! It's not spacious and if you're looking to hide away, you're in the wrong place. That's not a BAD thing, it's just a thing. They do your regular assortment of coffee beverages, and though they don't have Flat Whites on the menu, they can make you one. Be aware that names for things are different in Norway than they may be where you're from, so make sure you ask them what form your drink of choice takes before you order. I got a "Flat White" (they call that a Cortado) somewhere between the size of a cap and a latte (by UK standards) but they made me the next one smaller, more like a Flat White as I know them. Now, the quality of the coffee has been up and down through the years. DLK have passed through different leadership and has been on the brink of bankruptcy more than once since 2005, and quality seems to shift with it. For a while, I didn't even bother going when I was visiting Norway. Now, the coffee is decent enough, though the microfoam is structurally not great. This is an issue that I see in a lot of Norwegian coffee shops, and I can't quite get why. The foam looks beautiful when it's completely fresh, but quickly the micro foam collapses into bubbles that look almost like soapy dishwater. It's not as bad as I've seen some places, but you can see what I mean in one of my photos. I've also long been disappointed with the taste in Norwegian cafés. When I moved in 2007, DLK was ahead of the UK in developing an interesting coffee culture, but as the "Third Wave" coffee shops have progressed in the UK, Bergen seems to have called behind. Bad foam and watery, bitter liquid seem commonplace, and DLK is no exception. They're better than before, but they could (and should!) be so much better. Im probably being harsh, but that's only because I have so much fondness for the place. Now, the CAKES! That's a different story. Their cakes were already good when I was living here, and they're still terrific. I had an apple cake around lunch time, and it was just like the traditional Norwegian apple cakes I remember from childhood. Moist and not overly sweet, it was just right. Could maybe have used a bit more cardamom and tarter apples, but I'm nitpicking. Being so central, and right next to the Funicular (take the funicular up and walk down for a coffee after, it's a great trip!), as well as just how cozy and friendly the place is, it's hard not to recommend!

Management not responsive to customer concern about stale coffee beans purchased. We did enjoy our latte and cake when we were there.

Great coffee, gret atmosphere! Here they have high quality coffee, clearly made with love.

This is one of the best cafes in Bergen. On top of the fantastic cappuccinos and carrot cake, it has such a cozy, warm vibe. The people working there are really sweet. And there's other stuff to buy like oils and spices. Eat the carrot cake, even if you're not typically a carrot cake fan. Trust.

Great service and a great iced latte. Located just beyond the giant line for the Fløibanen.

Great coffee, in this cute little place just by the funicular in a lovely little street. If you are lucky enough to get a seat in the sun, there is nothing you could ask for more!!

I've gone here every day I've been in Bergen. They are absolutely the best! The owner bakes scrumptious desserts daily and the coffee is outstanding... you can't do better!

excellent coffee, and their own secret hot cocoa mix!
