Unlike that soulless TV chef-trap, Håndverksbakeriet (Handworks Bakery) bakes up craft breads and pastries and serves them up with wicked coffee and drinks. The staff there is also a big seller. Every time that I've been there they're just amazingly pleasant, nice people. They get to practice their English, as I, sadly, do not speak Norwegian, which I must fix one of these days. I get great food, great service, and a nice place to sit and get out of the hubbub of the summer holiday crowds strolling by the harbor. Better than the chain places around it, by far.

Counter right at the entrance and all pastries lined up. Both times staff were quite friendly and quick. Besides the bun, we also got the school bread which was also quite good with lots of shredded coconut and icing and a creamy center. Our macchiato coffee was small but also quite strong. Caffeine helped peel us up for the rest of our wandering around Oslo.

Translated as "Open Bakery," a Sandwich shop and Pizzeria since built under the same umbrella, it was at 08h00 that the store was found open with shelves full of golden Breads plus a few patrons quietly sipping Coffee. Mostly take-out thanks to the morning commute, diners are invited to select amongst everything from Scones to Viennoiserie, the former full of Dark Chocolate while a Blueberry Snail was light and flaky. Primarily produced in a central facility, though servers behave with pride in products, Åpent's Pain au Chocolat performs well with good rise and shattering exterior in juxtaposition to a Cardamom Bun that is fragrant and soft with crunchy Sugar all around.
