Coffee is pretty simple from a machine (nothing fancy you'd get from a coffeeshop except a latte or…read morecappuccino), but it was still good. The pastries were amazing and fresh. There are so many to choose from it is hard to decide.

Backstube is a take away breakfast place that has pastries, sandwiches, and coffee. The coffee is…read moredrip coffee or machine latte/ mocha etc. I had the raspberry pastry and it tasted like the American toaster strudel. This place is good if you're looking for a quick and affordable bite to eat, but will probably disappoint if you're looking for high quality pastries and great coffee.

My stay in Oslo so far has been very short, but I've visited many coffee houses and I am…read moreconsistently very happy with W.B. Samson. The staff is super nice, the coffee delicious, and they have the best kanelbolle I've had so far, their napoleon is also very tasty. In the evenings they serve wood fired pizza which I have yet to try, it seems pretty pricey for the size, this has been the main reason I haven't tried it. For coffee, sweets, and a relaxing cozy place to hang out it's a definite recommended pit stop.

An amazing find while walking from the Opera in Oslo city. The patisserie adorned the window…read moredisplay which was what allured us into this cafe/ brunch restaurant. We found ourselves a table and were shortly greeted by a pleasant server. When she didn't get a response from us she switched to English anders kind enough to help us with dessert selection. We ordered the Tiramisu and the dark chocolate mousse, with 2 americanos. It was probably the best Tiramisu I have had. Ps- they also have a variety of sandwiches and cakes and chocolates.

We liked our cinnamon buns so much we came back twice during our stay in Oslo. They were big, soft…read moreand just the right amount of sweet. This place was easy to find along Karl Johan Gate. 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.

Solid choice for a quick bite if you're staying at one of the hotels nearby. We each had filtered…read morecoffee and quiche and shared a cinnamon roll. The quiche were excellent and the filtered (what we call drip in the States) coffee was among the best I've had in Norway on our visit - smooth! Cinnamon roll was good but not the best I've had. In closing, the service was friendly and attentive. Excellent free wifi and plenty of seating.

This wonderful bakery and cafe over in the harbor's high tourism zone sits on a connecting street…read morebetween the harbor and the interior plaza near Jamie Oliver's Italian McRestaurant. 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.
