Here you drink the best coffee in Oslo – Part 2

June 1, 2026

We in Scandinavia have pressed coffee to our very souls, and we rank among the highest in the world when it comes to consumption.

And if you’re going to consume that much of something, it’s a good thing that more and more cafés in Oslo are serving coffee of world-class quality. So where should you drink coffee in Oslo? At Lysløypa, we love all great initiatives that bring excellent coffee into our lives, and here we present some of our favorites in the city!

And there are many of them — which is why we’ve split this article into two parts! Here you get Part 2!!

Kiosk

FrP’s worst nightmare is right here. The gas station has become a coffee bar. Café latte has replaced high-octane fuel. Welcome to Oslo’s smallest coffee kiosk, housed in a former — and now protected — gas station. We love it.

There’s little here that reminds you of a Circle K. Instead, this is a tiny architectural gem. Designed by architect Paul Hoel and built as a fuel depot for Sporveien in 1935, Kiosk is a small eye-catcher at Galgeberg. Much of the original history has been preserved, even though the gas pumps now stand empty. The logo is a playful twist on the old Mobil Oil emblem, and the interior reflects the building’s era.

The shop is crowdfunded by 65 small shareholders — most of them with ties to the neighborhood — and in a short time, it has become a warm and welcoming gathering spot for the local community.

In just eleven square meters, they serve coffee made from locally roasted beans by Kaffa and fresh pastries. Every Friday, you’ll find buttery, oven-fresh treats from Gladbakst. The friendly people behind the counter give you a five-kroner discount if you bring your own cup, and to help reduce food waste, Kiosk is part of Too Good To Go.

Kari Anne, the woman behind it all, also runs Whee, a business that rents out and services electric bikes. Coffee and e-bikes are unlikely to go out of style anytime soon — so there will probably be plenty to do.

Pump coffee, not gas. Coffee is the real black gold.

PS! Kiosk is part of Lysløypa. If you have the Lysløypa book, you get 2 coffees and 2 pastries for the price of 1!

Java Espressobar

Java has been one of the great constants in Christina’s life (!), the editor of Lysløypa.

A couple of years after Java first opened its doors in 1997, a former boyfriend introduced her to the café. He was a little older, lived just down the street, and every weekend they had their morning coffee there — back when the space was only half the size it is today. She was 19, and it was her introduction to café culture and, not least, world-class barista craft. It felt exotic. Urban.

The relationship ended, but her love for café life — and for Java — endured.

With the exception of a few years abroad, she has never lived far from her hub: the place where meetings are held, thoughts are formed, ideas are sketched out, and texts like this one are written. Where morning dates with her husband are enjoyed, where Gladbakst is bought for the kids, and where general manager Dina (and several of the others behind the counter) know her coffee order, pat her dog, and remember both her name — and the dog’s.

Oh, Java!

Dapper

Dapper started in 2013 with three friends, a handful of nails, and some wooden planks. Since then, it has grown into a place recommended by publications like Monocle, The Guardian, and The New York Times. Pretty wild, really.

The shop is known for two things:

Carefully curated brands for those who are tired of buying shoes at the mall and shaving cream at the grocery store.
An experienced team who actually know what your sweater is made of and are passionate about finding the right fit for you.

Dapper has now moved into new premises — in one of the world’s few apartment buildings constructed entirely from solid wood — just across the street from their original location. There, you’ll also find seriously good coffee and skilled baristas who make café time one of the finest experiences city life has to offer.

Dapper also hosts concerts, runs an excellent wine bar, and throws spontaneous events. They’re here to stay — and they’re making a solid mark on Oslo’s coffee scene as well.

Mocca

— the sister café of Java — is a little gem at Briskeby.

When the people behind Java expand, they do it with the same sense of style and high quality. Rumor has it you’ve never been closer to Nirvana than when you’re sitting there with both feet firmly on the floor, a pastry from Kveitemjøl on your plate, and a cup of expertly roasted coffee in front of you, steaming up in delicate swirls.

Outside, life goes on — and you, you are exactly here.

At Lysløypa, we believe that food and life are as closely connected as two hands holding each other. Perhaps happiness and coffee share a similar symbiosis. At the very least, we think you should stop by Mocca, breathe in the aroma of great coffee, greet the people behind the counter, and remember that life is delicious.

Solberg & Hansen

Mathallen — Solberg & Hansen! Here you’ll find both a name with resonance and people with deep expertise. At Mathallen Oslo, they’ve gone ahead and created a knowledge center for tea and coffee.

It’s a place where you can take courses and learn brewing methods that will make your mornings never quite the same again. Where coffee or tea may once have simply kick-started your body, you can now open the doors to a world of precise temperatures, brewing techniques, grind sizes, and preparation methods. Mmm. Everyday luxury.

And if you’re not signing up for a course, you’ll likely still want to stop by their delicatessen, peek at all the delights behind the glass, and let yourself be tempted. Because life is a bit like that. Tempting.

Welcome to Mathallen!

Talormade

Talormade originally came from Australia and, at the time, revolutionized Oslo residents’ relationship with doughnuts. Delicious. The world is a melting pot.

Now she’s rolled up her sleeves and created a doughnut concept that still warms our northern hearts. It’s salty, it’s sweet, it’s rich, and it’s colorful. There are bagels too, and homemade soft serve! I mean — come on.

You can order delivery, and you can order for your wedding. There’s bold design, there’s quality coffee. It’s Talormade through and through, and it’s a visual universe you’re bound to love if you stop by one of their spots.

And did we mention they have great coffee too?

They have great coffee too.
