Carl Berners plass is the first subway station for outbound trains on Grorudbanen after leaving the shared downtown stretch. It is between Tøyen and Hasle, and located in the Grünerløkka borough. The station was originally only served by Grorudbanen, but when T-baneringen was completed on August 21, 2006, that line was connected with this station, and branches off from Grorudbanen here.

The station is located underground. The walls are blue-green and tiled, and the lighting is dim. The shop which used to be at the station has been closed.

Carl Berners plass is named after the Norwegian politician Carl Berner. The "plass" (Norwegian for "square") is now a large road intersection, the entries to the subway station are to the east of this. The area has a mixture of apartment buildings and small businesses.
