Nice vegan selection - Edit
Good selection of vegan savoury & sweet pastries.
Read moreOatly Barista available for coffee on request at the till when paying.
If you’re in footwear with ice spikes - remove them at the door, as very slippery floor is accident risk.
Pros: More choice than most places, Quick service, Seating available
Cons: Lingonberry pastry too tart, Some items sell out early , No vegan vanilla/custard pastry available

A life-saver - Edit
This place is a life-saver for a vegan tourist in Tromsø, since there really aren’t other fast casual vegan options, at least that we found. We got the vegan boreks some 5 times over the course of not that many days! Super delicious, wallet-friendly, and open relatively wide hours compared to most places. We went to several other Backstubes in Oslo and airports, but leaving the review for this one since we went to it the most.

We ate here every day! - Edit
Lovely bakery with so many veggie options, all clearly labelled. Tromsø is not a cheap place but this was the cheapest food we had whilst here hence why we went every day. Despite the more reasonable prices everything we tried was delicious. A good range of pastries and sandwiches some of which they can make vegan for you. Highly recommend if you are in the area

Just perfect - Edit
This was the most perfect little spot for us for breakfast, coffees and snacks. So glad we went here early on during our trip as we found options in Norway a little limited. A really nice place, lovely staff and definitely great food!
Read moreSo many bread options as well as a quite few pastries, sweet options and juices. Chai pudding was brilliant for breakfast. Oat milk it available at the counter if you get a filter coffee.
We went EVERY day and I wish the equivalent was in England!!
Pros: Amazing food, lots of choice, Great value for money, Lovely little bakery to sit in

Loads of options - Edit
Lots of very well labelled vegan options, which changed daily. I enjoyed 3 different types of borek, cronut, apple turnover, berry turnover, berry cake, apple danish… etc.
Read moreYou take your own tongs at the start of the queue, select what you want with your tongs as you go, then drop the used tongs at the till when you pay.
Pros: Lots of options, Clearly marked, No cross contamination with tongs

Surprisingly affordable and a good choice for vegans - Edit
Norway isn't easy for vegans, so I appreciate this bakery having some options for us. They have two types of pastries: spinach and potato, and for sweets, the cronut is vegan plus on the day I went they had a danish looking pastry topped with lingonberries. I also got a focaccia slice (no cheese). Would love to see some sandwich options because eating more than one pastry doesn't sit well in my stomach. Other than that, it's great to have options and they are actually very reasonably priced! ($2-4 per item)
Read moreYou can find Backstube in the Oslo airport too which provides a much more affordable option compared to a €20 salad!

Has many plant-based options - Edit
Backstube should really get kudos (a.k.a respect) for providing many vegan and vegetarian options when other bakeries did not do so... maybe others have followed?
Read moreThe spinach and potato böreks are nice, and I like the sweet pastries. Also have relatively good big breads.
I find often that backstube Tromsø is often out of the vegan sandwiches - often just ham&cheese sandwiches left. That is a minus.
Pros: Good potato böreks, sweet pastry and bretzels., Relatively cheap, Many vegetarian and vegan options
Cons: Often out of vegan sandwiches, Not the most cozy place

Surprising find - Edit
Really nice wee self service bakery. Load up your tray with a wide selection of vegan baked goods and some savoury focaccias or sandwiches and grab a coffee and lunch is sorted. Comfy couches at the back and quite affordable too (at least at current exchange rate from the UK).

Cheap place to get some snacks - Edit
They have surprisingly many vegan pastries for a good price, nothing special though.
Read moreIf you are hungry and want a quick snack, I recommend this place. However, it's not exactly a cozy café rather a bakery in fast-food fashion with a fast customer turn-over.
Pros: quite a few vegan options, relatively cheap
Cons: not a cozy atmosphere

So many vegan options 🌱 - Edit
Wow, there are so many vegan options! Great place to stop for a quick snack. I'd like to give this place 3.5 stars, just because the pastries are quite oily and don't feel very healthy - but that basically applies to all pastries I suppose!

Amazing vegan options - Edit
Nice to have so many vegan options where tromso as a whole is limited. Opens early and the cronut and pastries were nice. Oat milk available and hot chocolate from the self service machine is milk-free.
