    Jeppehuset - Hjortefilet

    This restaurant is fabulous and brilliant; a true gem hidden in a little quiet residential…read moreneighbourhood. I ordered hjorteboller, my company had lammboller, pasta bolognese, and salmon, and all were reportedly as delicious. Our dessert passion fruit brownie with raspberry sorbet was good enough to merit returning for on its own.

    A new restaurant in Bærum is always an exciting event and I had been looking forward to trying…read more'Jeppehuset' since I saw that some enterprising person would finally use the fabulous location in Stabekk's old Culture House. I went with 4 girlfriends on a Thursday. We booked a table which was smart because the restaurant was full when we arrived at 19:00. The interior is cool and trendy and I loved the big windows looking out onto the street. There is free parking (after 17:00) almost next door, but even better if you want to have a glass of wine or two, it's right on the 143 bus line. The service was attentive and nicely paced, not too slow or too rushed. We were one of the last tables to leave and we never felt like they were ready to rush us out the door. But sadly, this is where my positive comments end because while all of the above are important, it's the food that will bring me back and Jeppehuset let me down here. I had the akevittgravede laks (119 nok) as a starter and hjortfilet med rosenkål and tyttebæer (289nok). The hjortfillet was very tough and overcooked and there is really no excuse to serve boiled brussel sprouts in the 21st century. I am sure the tyytebæer sauce was from a jar which was also a great disappointment. I am left with the impression that the owners of Jeppe know they have a great location ("If you build it, they will come"). I just hope they realize they also need great food for me to become a regular customer.

    I'm very torn on this place. For so many reasons, I loved it. And for so many reasons, I didn't…read morelove it so much. I'll start with the negative so I can finish on a positive note. 1. The place didn't specialize in anything. I love that they sell goods as well as have a cafe as well as have a little 'market'. But nothing really struck me as their 'specialty'. And when you attempt to diversify your portfolio with too many products, you end up without an identity, and with no solid and outstanding products in the process. 2. The goods were expensive. A candle for 295kr? No thanks. Even though it smelled amazing. Cinnamon Spiced Tea for 120kr? No thanks. Kidding...I totally bought it. 3. The tea at the cafe was rather lousy. I guess I shouldn't say it was lousy. It had great potential. The flavor I chose was a French Caramel. The girl that served me served a tea bag with LOADS of tea in it in a tiny cup (they ran out of large ones). By the time I made it over to my table with it, the tea was sooo concentrated that I was unable to drink it. I had to get new water and attempt it again. It was ruined again, but not as bad. It just wasn't a joy to drink. 4. I ordered a Muesli rundstykker. It alone, was good. When I put the jam they gave me on it...it kind of ruined it. The jam was not my taste and too sour. Now onto the positives... 1. Most of the staff didn't speak, but Andrea, one of the workers, was super friendly and conversational. 2. The place had such a cute vibe. Perhaps geared towards a more mature audience (and by mature, I mean like 65+), I still found it to be cute and colorful. It reminded me of a spring garden. 3. The products the place sold were adorable. If they had been cheaper, I would have definitely been all over it and spent much more money than I had on that tea. 4. The patio. I have a feeling this place is much more charming in the spring and summer! As long as the Norwegian smokers (which are always in abundance) let you do your thing and enjoy fresh air every once in a while. I guess I just found this place to be okay. It was a rather overwhelming experience as the place as all over the place and had just too many 'things'. From a cheese market to cafe to selling gardening boots...the place has it all. But I'm not 100% if that is a good thing. To get here, you can take bus 32 from the center of Oslo towards Voksen Skog. You get off at CC Vest and walk up the hill. After the roundabout, it will be in a plaza on your right near the Kiwi. I wouldn't be opposed to heading back here, but certainly will use my days to explore other cafes instead in the meantime. Grønn is definitely calling my name during the warmer months though.

    I like the concept of this place. Partly coffeeshop, partly store with random things to sell. My…read morefriend and I came for an afternoon coffee/chai because we work nearby, and while I loved the concept of the place, and the chai was good, there was nothing that make me crave to come back again.

    Worth the hype. This is a hard core coffee joint! Voted number 2 best coffee house in the world…read morethis year. They have a nice filtered coffee menu - all light roast to bring out the flavours of the beans. Aeropress is their device of choice. Tried a Kenyan peaberry - they have custom ceramics that your coffee is served in. As it's a hardcore coffee place - no sugar or milk or cream. The coffee has to do all the talking. They do have espresso based drinks as well but did not try. Seating space is quite small considering the popularity of this place. Glad it wasn't busy on a mid afternoon on a wintry Friday. Bought some beans to go - in 250 mg bags. They have 1 kg bags at discount - the beans are not quite up to the same quality. Definitely a destination if you are a coffee snob!

    This is a definitely for coffee lover. Hardcore place to be for some fine coffee experience. The…read moreplace is small, clean with a handful-was of tables and chairs (first come, 1st serve). Small menu to choose from, or you can ask them their recommendations or your preference. I order 3 different type of coffees, and my kid ordered one with less caffeine. Take awhile since this is quite popular and a hype since it got #1 coffee place in the world for few years and as of 2025, it's #2. Just say that I was in heaven for at least 25-30mins. The beans, the smells, the tastes are quite different on each drink. The aroma, the strong, bitter taste lingering in your throat slowly and let it defined gradually. Just pure heaven. The service is excellent and no rush, just take your time to find your liking, and then your time to enjoying the coffee. Can't wait to go back for more.
