I stopped in here for a…read moremidday snack and came back a few days later because it was so delicious and the environment was so friendly and welcoming. The strawberry, banana and nutella crepe was to die for. The crepe batter seemed to have a tiny hint of cinnamon in it, and it made for an interesting and delicious kick. The place is small, maybe 10 seats or so, but in a great location right near the Majorstuen train station. I didn't try anything else on the menu, but saw savory dishes being prepared, as well as savory galettes on the menu. No WiFi here and American Express is not accepted.

So when I found out that my friend here never had galettes, I decided to treat her for brunch and hope that this place delivered. And it did. The galettes were delicious!

Prices are I guess normal for Norway. and the place pretty nice, although I do think it gets busy pretty fast (prolly because it was a Sunday morning). Would definitely be back!

What a great place! I was looking for breakfast in Oslo and this came up as a top pick. I can't…read morebelieve how large the place is, yet has a comfy cozy feel to it. I was there at 9:00 am so still a bit early for a place that stays open until 3:00 am regularly! I took the waitresses recommendation and ordered the avocado toast. I added the fried poached egg out of curiosity. It was amazing! The toast had fresh tomatoes and seasoning. I have never had a fried poached egg... it was so expertly prepared, a real work of art and measure of culinary skill! I can't wait to return to try some other dishes

(and I didn't want to just do a cafe run). A friend reccomended this place and it was a couple of blocks away from where I am staying so I gave it a shot (bonus was that it's open at 0730 M-F, so for someone jet lagged, it was a great way to kill some time early in the morning) Got in and got seated (breakfast restaurants aren't really a thing in Norway, so it was empty when I arrived). Ordered the fried Brussels sprouts as a snack and the eggs, bacon and hash browns as a main w/ locally made sourdough bread from a local bakery on the side. The food was all presented well and tasted great. The hash browns were less shredded potatoes as puréed, then fried. (still tasted fine) and the eggs were scrambled perfectly with the bacon crisped up and sprinkled on top with some sprouts. The bread came lightly oiled and fried (so no need for butter). The Brussels sprouted were roasted with some peppers and served on top of some aioli. Service was great, food was great and will come back at least one more time before I leave town. Yes, it's pretty expensive (this all ran me ~$35 converting from NOK to USD) but Norway in general has a high cost of living, so this is on par with any other sit down meal in a comparable restaurant.

Try to stop in the glass shop to watch artists blow glass ornaments and even order something custom while in the shop. FYI - many vendors only take cash, which surprises me in Norway.
