Solberg & Hansen Concept Store

From Oslo's Roots to Global Renown: Solberg & Hansen's Pioneering Coffee Journey

Solberg & Hansen, Norway's oldest and largest specialty coffee roastery since 1879, has profoundly shaped the nation's coffee culture, including the rise of coffee shops in the 1990s. This pioneering spirit extends to unique cultural collaborations, like their "Black Coffee" concept inspired by Norwegian Black Metal, even featuring an Ethiopia Natural coffee linked to the town of Hell.

Their unwavering commitment to direct trade ensures quality and sustainability, exemplified by their recent event hosting 21 partner farmers globally, fostering deeper connections. They also roast fossil-free, aiming for climate neutrality by 2030. A lifetime member of the prestigious Cup of Excellence, Solberg & Hansen consistently sources exceptional beans, including rare Wolisho and Kurume varietals from Ethiopia's 2400m altitudes.

Their award-winning seasonal packaging, recognized by the Sprudge Design Awards, reflects their attention to detail, while Managing Director Andreas Hertzberg's "Outstanding Contribution to the European Coffee Industry" further cements their fame. Their Mathallen Oslo concept store, opened in 2012, champions hand-brewed coffee, and their categorized offerings—SANS, TRACK, ESPRESSO, and CONCEPT—guide enthusiasts through a world of unique flavors and stories.
