Fantastisk liten kaffesjappe som drives av Nyttig Arbeid. Der jobber tidligere rusavhengige med å jobbe seg tilbake til samfunnet. Ett helt fantastisk tilbud. Nydelig kaffe og nydelige berlinerboller. Anbefales på det varmeste.

Stopped here for a cappuccino while walking among the Akerselva river. Friendly staff and good for a short break.

Faktisk noe man MÅ skjekke ut! Utrolg søt kafe/kaffebar med virkelig deilig kaffe! Pleide å dra innnom hver onsdag til skolen! Beste prisene jeg har sett i byen også. En veldig hyggelig svensk kar som jobber der <33

Highly recommend. Probably one the best coffees I’ve had in Oslo. Got there later in the day so didn’t get a chance to try food
