Solberg & Hansen’s Oslo counter is inside Mathallen, the food hall at Vulkan, a short walk north of the city centre. This is the public shop rather than the Ryen roastery: it has a coffee bar and shelves of beans, tea and brewing equipment.
The Mathallen shop is the public tasting and retail counter for a roaster based at Ryen. You can order a cup, browse beans and tea, or ask about brewing equipment without travelling to the production site.
Coffee style
The menu covers espresso, milk drinks, tea and hand-brewed coffee. Retail choices include seasonal single origins and blends from the Ryen roastery. Choose a filter coffee if you want to discuss the available beans and compare them with what you normally brew.
What people go for
The feel
The counter is surrounded by Mathallen’s stalls, shoppers and lunch crowds, so it is rarely quiet. Order a coffee and browse the bags and equipment while it is made, then take a seat if one is free.
The counter also hosts courses and tastings; check the current schedule for organised sessions. Staff can answer questions about coffee, tea and brewing, though the food hall can be busy and noisy.
Food and retail
The counter sells coffee, tea, chocolate and brewing equipment, with sweet treats available. Mathallen has many other food stalls nearby.
