Cafes and bars in Oslo

A compact Nordic capital where third-wave coffee arrived early and stayed serious. The specialty scene is anchored by a handful of obsessive roasters, and the bar culture punches above its size.

  • HIMKOK Steep Pick
    Storgata · Steep Index 8.8/10

    A World's 50 Best Bar with an on-site distillery, an award-winning interior carved out of a 19th-century Oslo building, and cocktails that make a serious case for Nordic ingredients.

  • Tim Wendelboe Steep Pick
    Grünerløkka · Steep Index 8.6/10

    The 2004 World Barista Champion runs this small Grünerløkka espresso bar with direct-trade beans from his own Colombian farm, and every cup reflects that level of care.

  • Supreme Roastworks Steep Pick
    Grünerløkka · Steep Index 8.4/10

    The working roastery behind the counter is the first thing you notice, and the espresso that follows is the reason you will come back every morning you are in Oslo.
