Fall in Oslo

Right by Birkelunden, you’ll find Norway’s first and so far only cocoa bar. With a fireplace in the center of the space and a wide selection of hot chocolate, it’s a great place to visit especially during autumn and winter. How about trying mint and chili flavor? Choose from ten unique options and a bunch of toppings like caramel or smash. They also offer salads, bowls, cakes and lemonade.

Café bliss in the city’s prettiest garden! In in Botanical Garden at Tøyen Hovedgård, Oslo’s oldest wooden building, you’ll find this charming café surrounded by lilacs and buzzing bees. Everything here is organic, homemade, and refreshingly down-to-earth, with a cozy outdoor area perfect for sunny days. The kitchen keeps it simple and delicious. Think fresh salads, warm Norwegian pancakes ("sveler"), cakes and sourdough sandwiches. The chèvre salad is creamy and refreshing, while the focaccia with pesto and mozzarella is always a winner.

At this local grocer, it is easy to spend more time than planned. We certainly did. The shop in Ullevål Hageby is warm and welcoming, with a space that feels especially cozy. The shelves are filled with everything from cheeses, cured meats and fresh produce to sweet treats and small gift ideas that are hard to walk past without stopping. This is the place for anyone who loves browsing unique shops and taking their time. PS! They also offer ready made dinner bags you can take home.

Are you vegetarian, vegan or just looking for a healthy and tasty meal? Then this Japan-inspired café is just the place for you! It’s a plant based eatery, juice bar and café serving breakfast, brunch and lunch all day long. All the food is made from organic, local ingredients, free from additives, chemicals and refined sugar. The interior and aesthetic are inspired by Japan – bright, airy and minimalist with white walls and light wood.

In the heart of Grønland, you'll find one of Oslo’s coziest coffee spots. Tucked inside an old apartment building on Urtegata, this café has created a warm and rustic little haven with charming tables, green plants in every nook and cranny, and a calm, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for catching up over coffee or simply unwinding and enjoying life. Their menu leans toward sustainability, with a focus on vegan and plant-based options, and all milk-based drinks are made exclusively with oat milk. We’re big fans of their iced mocha. It’s seriously delicious and you’ll also find sweet treats like cookies in different flavors or a classic cinnamon bun.
