My first experience from Oslo's food/cafés was here. I always have been getting warned how…read moreexpensive everything is so I had to go into yelp and try find something suitable! Well I must say it was not a bad choice! This place on daytime serves food which is more or less the typical cafe food, with burgers and salads. I had one of the salads that had grilled cheese and it was good. The salad came with bread and aioli for free on the side (generous portion of bread). Not a bad deal. And I also thought the price was ok. It was sth like 170nok. The place itself is very special. Filled with numerous colours and strange decorative things. I saw also the backyard which everybody has commented on when I was leaving, which does seem very cosy. What I didn't really like was how dark the whole place was as there were only few windows to the outside. And even though the salad was ok good, it was not something I would be going back to. So in general terms it was nice but not amazing! Good for lunch or coffee in a cosy colourful place.

However, those massive windows allow for endless people watching, which is one of my favorite past times. The milk based espressos are definitely a hit or miss, but having a line out the door and rounding to XXL sometimes, I realize that sometimes the quality suffers as these people are forced to push out single lattes with light milk one after the other to demanding moms, with their massive strollers containing restless kids, which are taking up half the place. One thing that seems to be consistent at all Kaffebrenneriets is no matter how busy it is, there is always a smile to greet you at the register and sometimes that can make up for a cappuccino that isn't top notch.

We Ordered the afternoon tea which consisted of two ham sandwich slices, two smoked salmon sandwiches and two cucumber sandwiches, four scones, two macarons and two lemon tarts. All of which was served with our choice of tea. We also shared the cheese plate which was delightful. Loved the earl greys and the history regarding the queens blend. Was a little discouraged when the server put the receipt on the table early on while we were still eating, but they do this with everyone. It's more of a way to track the order than to encourage departure. The gift shop also has a lovely variety of items. Definitely a worthwhile shop and would consider returning in the future.

It wouldn't be a trip to Oslo without visiting this historic bakery chain for some sweet pastries!…read moreOn our first full day, we grabbed a couple treats before a walk down to the Oslo Opera House. + Kanelboller (Cinnamon Bun): The exterior was coated in a sticky caramelization while the interior stayed wonderfully soft with a delightful cinnamon flavor. I wouldn't call it the best cinnamon roll I've ever had, but in terms of taste, it was reminiscent of monkey bread, which I always enjoy. Since it wasn't too sweet, this was a great morning snack! + Skolebrød (School Bread): I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but this was so good! The creamy custard in the pastry's center tasted similar to a vanilla pudding, surrounded by a sugary frosting topped with coconut. I loved the notes of cardamom as well. This was sweeter than expected, but I truly enjoyed every bite and could have eaten that custard by the spoonful. I highly recommend stopping by to try some traditional Norwegian pastries rooted in recipes passed down since 1894! It may be a chain, but don't let that deter you!
