My first experience from Oslo's food/cafés was here. I always have been getting warned how…read moreexpensive everything is so I had to go into yelp and try find something suitable! Well I must say it was not a bad choice! This place on daytime serves food which is more or less the typical cafe food, with burgers and salads. I had one of the salads that had grilled cheese and it was good. The salad came with bread and aioli for free on the side (generous portion of bread). Not a bad deal. And I also thought the price was ok. It was sth like 170nok. The place itself is very special. Filled with numerous colours and strange decorative things. I saw also the backyard which everybody has commented on when I was leaving, which does seem very cosy. What I didn't really like was how dark the whole place was as there were only few windows to the outside. And even though the salad was ok good, it was not something I would be going back to. So in general terms it was nice but not amazing! Good for lunch or coffee in a cosy colourful place.

The sparse upholstery on the ground floor were quite comfortable and were inviting to stay an relax for a while with a beer. The beer was quite affordable for Norwegian conditions, by the way. So I recommend it as a good place to relax with a good beer which is a bit away from all the tourist traps near the Oslo central station.

It's not my favorite Kaffebrenneriet. The only chairs available to sit in are bar stools and for…read morepeople with a bad back like me, this is not a chair you want to be sitting in too long. However, those massive windows allow for endless people watching, which is one of my favorite past times. The milk based espressos are definitely a hit or miss, but having a line out the door and rounding to XXL sometimes, I realize that sometimes the quality suffers as these people are forced to push out single lattes with light milk one after the other to demanding moms, with their massive strollers containing restless kids, which are taking up half the place. One thing that seems to be consistent at all Kaffebrenneriets is no matter how busy it is, there is always a smile to greet you at the register and sometimes that can make up for a cappuccino that isn't top notch.

We stopped in this afternoon for tea. What a great way to spend an hour+…read more The service was spectacular and tea was equally good. The server recommended Afternoon Break as our tea selection and it was wonderful. (I'm not really a tea drinker) We also had the Afternoon Tea service that included everything you see in these pictures. The scones were delicious and the lemon curd was lemony and not too tart. We were lucky we were able to get a table, probably best to call for a reservation; YES, it's that good!

All locations offer reservations for tea,with the Copenhagen location booking out quickly. I Decided to try the Oslo location with my friend, which had plenty of availability. We Ordered the afternoon tea which consisted of two ham sandwich slices, two smoked salmon sandwiches and two cucumber sandwiches, four scones, two macarons and two lemon tarts. All of which was served with our choice of tea. We also shared the cheese plate which was delightful. Loved the earl greys and the history regarding the queens blend. Was a little discouraged when the server put the receipt on the table early on while we were still eating, but they do this with everyone. It's more of a way to track the order than to encourage departure. The gift shop also has a lovely variety of items. Definitely a worthwhile shop and would consider returning in the future.

I tried the Plum first, and it had the exact flavor profile I was expecting; tart, with a little sweetness underneath.

Service was outstanding, super friendly staff and it was fun getting to see the magic in action while sitting at the bar. The space is quintessential cocktail bar; dim lighting, music at just the right volume to allow for intimate conversation, and an all around relaxing vibe. Very glad I found this place during my time in Oslo!
