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

Several clearly labelled vegan options and relatively inexpensive with friendly service. I ate a sandwich and a cherry pastry and enjoyed both a lot.

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)

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).
Read morePros: Wide choice, Tasty pastries

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.

You pick up your own clean tongs so you know they are clean and haven’t been used for meat products before picking yours.
Read moreEverything is very clearly labelled.
Great for vegetarians. Only downside is my vegan potato roll had cheese baked onto the end and this was confirmed by my mum who also tried it. Made me lose faith in the establishment.

Pros: Cheap , Convenient location, Plenty of sweet and savoury options
Cons: Vegan sandwiches touching meat ones on display , 99% sure my vegan roll had cheese on it
