    Came by for coffee the other day and it was a surprisingly mediocre experience. Tim Wendelboe is apparently a top 100 coffee shop in the world...I'm confused. The coffee shop is a 10 minute tram ride from Sentrum. There were seats both indoors and out. Staff wore a uniform and were friendly. Ordered a latte and it came in a glass cup along with a cup of water. The latte was decent, not bitter although I've had better and cheaper lattes even at the airport.

    many make the trek here to experience the expertise of the roaster. I would say that you have to understand that they specialize in aeropress (filter coffee) for their "pour-over" equivalent and you may also have espresso based drinks. the staff really knows their coffees and if you are someone who wants to understand more, please ask questions. inside vibe is cool-- there's people there to meet, have conversations, to work quietly, but sometimes it can get crowded. no other things are served here besides beans, brew equipment, and coffee, so you will have to get your pastries elsewhere. note that the roasting profile is light-medium so there's more of a tea-like quality to the coffees and espressos. if you don't prefer that in your espresso, then ask for the filter coffee instead.

    Tim Wendelboe is a coffee shop that my friend recommended during our trip to Norway, as he had seen some videos of influencers praising the quality of their coffee. After spending some time outside in the cold, we were looking forward to trying the warm beverages that this place provided. Upon entry, there was a long line that extended from the counter all the way to door which tipped me off about the popularity of this coffee shop. While the shop itself is on the small side, the interior is quite bright and nice to sit in. The baristas were professional and seemed to be quite knowledgeable about all the different coffee offerings that they have. I decided to try out the Cappuccino Al Fredo as that was one of their specialty drinks. This was a really interesting drink, as I've never had coffee as silky and foamy as this one. The texture was quite unique, and even though I'm not a coffee connoisseur I really enjoyed the flavor of it. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a fan of coffee at all!

    Located at Grünersgate 1 in Grünerløkka Tim Wendelboe needs no introduction to Coffee connoisseurs, his win at the World Barista Championship in 2004 cementing a legacy now celebrating over two decades of commitment to sustainable farms and the best Beans available each season. Helmed by experienced Baristas overseeing a limited menu, no Food just the best Espressos, Lattes and Filters available, Tim Wendelboe seeks to perfect each guest's experience without pomp or circumstance despite excellent customer service. Also selling whole beans and equipment at expected prices, Wendelboe's commitment to Farmers earning a fair living well-known, it was after perusing options that an Espresso and Filter cup were selected, the former big and juicy with a bit of sour at the end while Tatmara Natural from Ethiopia tastes bright yet refined amidst floral notes.

    Best coffee ever! Had the cold brew (served elegantly in a wine glass) and my friend had the filtered coffee.

    A great and unique experience. I did the coffee tasting. The barista explained where the beans come from, explained the flavors. Great spot to enjoy your coffee in great company.

    Really enjoyed my experience at Time Wendelboe. I did the coffee tasting which is built for two but I did it by myself. About $20 USD for tastings of four coffees, definitely a fair price. I requested to try one coffee and the barista created an experience for the other three. My favorites were a Kenyan and El Salvadoran flavors. The baristas walked me through wear the beans come from, how their grown and the flavor profiles of each coffee. A very informative and delicious experience!

    Tim Wendelboe is a super speciality coffee shop that does their own roasting. Anytime a place does their own roasting, go there immediately to try out their products. The baristas are very knowledgeable and can answer all your complicated coffee snob questions. This is a great spot to get a caffeine-high before or after a great experience at the nearby Mathallen Food Hall.

    Legit coffee. Owner is an international award winning barista! They only serve coffee. Small space. Our coffee was hot, tasted amazing and went really well with our donuts from My Ugly Baby.

    This is how they serve your coffee: a wooden tray customized to fit the coffee carafe, a glass of water, and your coffee mug.

    I kind of don't want to write this review because I want to keep this as my secret "go to" place in Oslo... but the coffee is great, the presentation of your coffee is Devine, and the staff knows what they're doing with the coffee, and they entire place is a cool Scandinavian vibe on the inside. It's a small cozy place, but it's worth a trip to find the shop.

    I usually hate coffee unless it's mixed with all kinds of fun "stuff." But the coffee here is done RIGHT! It tasted better than ANY coffee I've ever had. With nothing more than just a little milk. Makes sense that Norway (as the number 2 most coffee-consuming country in the world right under Finland) would have amazing coffee options, but I feel fortunate to have found this none the less. I also recognized a ton of awards on their mantle. So clearly they know what they are doing and are winning accolades for it. Very cool experience. Display was beautiful, store was clean, and the coffee was incredible.

    Elegant coffee bar in Oslo with excellent coffee and friendly service, especially to Americans who needed a bit more explaining than other customers! Would definitely come back when in Oslo again.

    I can certainly say this is the best coffee we've had in Norway because, well, it was the only coffee we tried during our short stay in Oslo. I am not a coffee snob but I drink plain coffee almost daily and I can certainly the drinks here were the best I have tasted in my life. And my bf can certainly say the same for iced coffees. We followed the river and then crossed a bridge to reach this place. Upon walking in we walked right into the middle of some coffee making magic. A worker was working some machine and another worker handled the front. Barely any wait and barely any customers, so we got our orders real quick. I had the cappuccino with I forgot which beans and I must say the best cup of cappuccino I've had. Maybe it was the milk, but it was smooth and tasty. I wanted to go back for seconds but we ran out of time before our flight. The iced coffee tasted delicious as well. I don't know what they do here nor do I know anything about making coffee, but I recommend all to try this place when in town!

    Roast!
