Cute cafe along Fargegaten, The Street of Colors…read more When a local Stavanger hairdresser wanted to infuse a pop of color into this street who knew that he would create a tourist attraction? This cute cafe is so cozy and inviting. Love the colors, the books and the board games. Coffeeshop by day. Bar at night. A great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with family and friends.

Nice bar to play board games and have a beer or two! We visited Bøker og Børst on a Sunday night,…read moreand it was busy but there were tables available. The bar has plant-themed wallpaper and both fake and real plants scattered about the bar. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating available. They offer mostly premade cocktails, but they do have a few basic options available. They also have a fairly wide draft beer selection and a decent selection of board games to play. If you want to play games and drink beer in Stavanger, then I think Bøker og Børst is the place!

They always have an English section which is where I headed in this store to find a book by Karin Fossum that isn't going to be available in the US until August of 2013. They did not have it, but the woman behind the counter looked it up for me and they actually went ahead and ordered it since it was super hard to find; I'm having a friend who is visiting next month pick it up for me, and I don't know what I want more- to see my friend or get my book! They have a great selection of postcards and other trinkets. I was very surprised by the game selection in this store. A fun place to browse for sure!

As I said previously, bookstores are everywhere in Norway. I am a huge fan of Norwegian crime…read morefiction so I always run to the English section to see if they have any books that aren't available yet in the US and I was in luck! The Bat by Jo Nesbo (with a British translator) was for sale! This book isn't going to be available in the US for another year. This store had a great selection of English titles. I also browsed some Norwegian titles and have a list of books that I am not so patiently waiting to get once they become available in English!
