It is what it is.
Same as all other Espresso House.
Well not quite, most drinks tastes different depending on who makes it.
If you find a barista whom makes a damn fine cup of coffey hold on to them.
Do not talk down to the employee they will have you removed. Loved how they handled that respectfuly.

It was good experience in general.
No lines or short lines (we ordered couple of times).
One plate with solt croissant was with chocolate on bottom, we worried that could ruin the white suit of the friend.
But we were lucky that day. We noticed and clean that.
That was also weird, we got suggestion to warm up sandwich in microwave by ourselves and in the same time croissant was warmed up for us by team members at the place.
Drinks were good.

Vegan milks, large selection of coffees all freshly made whilst you wait. Ample seating, gets very busy because its centrally situated in the shopping centre, Tonsberg Norway.

Norwegians like their coffee strong, black without anything else. I am no Norwegian, I like my coffee to taste like coffee and to have a distinguished aroma. Luckily Espresso House is able to deliver something similar to Italian coffee. If you want to have a real espresso, this is a place to be. Of course they offer other stuff such as food and other types of drinks. But I mostly drink espressos and cortados there. And those are just fine.
Don't forget to try their chocolate mud cake, very good indeed.
Visited on 30th of October, it was absolutely full with people. I could see stress in the barista's eyes, and, as someone who has worked in this kind of job, it stinged, to see them having a hard day. I sure know how it feels. They managed magnificently.
Regrettably, I løst the chance to encourage the workers, or, at least the barista that served me, at the very least, but I'd like to relay a message to that days shift workers, and obviously their colleagues too.
What I saw, as you worked tirelessly, is that you all are blessed with the ability to do things that you need to do. I saw you work so fast in a stressful environment, i just marveled at your perseverance. It was hectic. The pressure from the people waiting for coffee, the pressure just from seeing the long line. I just stood there, and I wanted to remind you: "one at a time.". One client at a time will not confuse you. You are setting the pace. T make your time to take the order. Take your time to relay it to your coworkers. I know you have to work fast but it is better to do a solid job,than a fast, but messy one. You, who work with food and clients directly, are my pillars and my strength, for your job is hard. Your perseverance gives me happiness. Take heart!
On another note, do not ruin your health for the job. Workplace will replace you within a week. At home, they'll worry, and grieve forever. That's where your life is.
Food was delicious, coffee- fantastic! I'll certainly return!
