Coffeeberry

What Coffeeberry does

Coffeeberry is a single-location specialty coffee shop operating in Sandnes, Norway since 2012, founded by Thomas and Hanne Jørgensen at the Ruten area. The business serves hot and cold coffee beverages (espresso-based drinks, precision brew, cold brew, matcha, kombucha), baked goods, sandwiches, and light meals to walk-in local consumers and, on a secondary basis, to nearby businesses via corporate catering. Its core product is specialty coffee sourced exclusively from JACU, a Debio-certified roastery in Ålesund that delivers fresh beans weekly; this organic, traceable supply chain is the principal point of differentiation. Menu pricing is unit-based, with hot coffee at 49-89 kr, cold beverages at 49-99 kr, and food items at 35-149 kr; catering carries a 300 kr delivery fee for nearby offices.

The business model is direct-to-consumer retail at one physical storefront, supplemented by event-driven engagement (in-store brewing demonstrations), a corporate catering channel within walking distance, and an active Instagram presence (@coffeeberry_sandnes). There is no mobile app, no API surface, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and no subscription or membership program; all transactions are pay-as-you-go. Operating scale is small (1-10 employees) and ownership remained with the founders as of January 2025, when Andrea took over daily management with Anthea as assistant manager. Revenue, headcount trends, and funding history are not disclosed.
