Excellent little cafè which takes its coffee VERY seriously. Not many places to sit, but there's still a good chance you can get a spot on the bench outside and people-watch.

Blå
9C BrenneriveienIf you want to dance and shake your stanky leg, Blå is the place.
It's sort of hidden away in a backyard, but if you can find it, I bet you'll be delighted. It's a sake bar which serves small japanese dishes and plays japanese funk music. Weird but cool.
