A coffee shop named the best in Europe and the second-best in the world is worth a visit, even if…read moreit means standing in line for at least 30 minutes. Around 11am on a Friday in August, the line was about that. Once in the front, we ordered lattes and cappuccino fredo. Both were excellent, but the fredo took the cake. It's worth noting that the coffee leans more acidic. If you don't love acidic coffee, you may be a little disappointed. Again, it's still worth a visit. They take their craft seriously as an art form.

Excellent coffee awaits at Tim Wendelboe, they have a stripped down menu to focus on quality over…read morequantity. There are different varieties of coffee to try as a simple pour (or a tasting of two), as well as a few espresso drinks (cappuccino, latte, etc) and a few cold options. I had the Colombian origin pour when I visited, nice and simple. It tasted great, and they clearly put a lot of effort into the process and the pour to ensure the beans could do the speaking; no milk or sugar for this cup! I enjoyed my cup, glad I visited such an esteemed coffee haven. The line is a bit unruly, and the small space gets cramped quickly, but if you have the time and want to try an elevated cup for the same price as a factory mill coffee, come check them out!

There are tables and chairs in abundance, some of which are sharing tables (or if you're a group). In the back you can enjoy your tea/coffee Japanese-style (though not too appropriate if you're here to do hand writing). Available rest rooms and power plugs (make sure you bring the long ones, as not all tables have sockets nearby). Anyways, the ginger green tea is my fav (by mug or pot); and together with the raspberry muffins you're in for a treat! Prices are typical those of Oslo. And location is just off Majorstua Station. Highly recommended for the purpose of working/stuying while sipping tea/coffee and stuffing your face with delicious carbs.

The proprietor was so friendly, and she was curious about where I was from since I was speaking english. I told her Seattle and she thought that was cool. She also showed this interest in a young couple that came in a little after me... they too were from Seattle and had just moved here like me! The gal exclaimed this was definitely meant to be! And I agree! Anyway, I ordered the Varm Sjokolade (hot chocolate) I can easily say it's the best I've ever had. It was a huge cup meant for slow sipping while browsing the cool vintage items displayed for sale. I enjoyed my time at Retrolykke Kaffebar. It was so good, so cozy, and so friendly it can easily be a regular stop for me.

Was looking for a coffee-shop while in Oslo to warm up in and glad we found Mesh. Their coffee was tasty. Plenty of good seating and tables. They had some heaters running. Internet was free and fast. Service was great - the guy manning the bar was from the UK. Fairly conversationally-quiet space as lots of people working on projects together. Would come back if ever in the area.
