My Daily Ritual at Åpent Bakeri: A Consistently Delightful Experience As a visitor to Oslo, I've found my daily ritual at Åpent Bakeri, and it has quickly become a highlight of my trip. This marks my third consecutive day here, and each visit has been nothing short of fantastic. My go-to order—coffee and avocado toast with two extra eggs—has been consistently delicious. The food quality is superb, always fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The staff here truly stands out. They are incredibly friendly and warm, always making me feel welcome. While they're open to customizing orders, I've found that the original balance of the dishes is so thoughtfully crafted that any changes can slightly disrupt the harmony. For a coffee and meal, expect to pay around 250 KR, and for a quick pick-up, it's typically between 150 and 200 KR. Even on weekday mornings, Åpent Bakeri is bustling, a testament to its popularity among locals. The crowd is often well-dressed and appears quite content, whether they're deep in conversation or focused on their work. This lively atmosphere, combined with the visible communication between the chef and assistant to ensure order accuracy, creates a confident and efficient vibe. Cleanliness is paramount to me, and Åpent Bakeri consistently meets my high standards. The bathroom is always well-maintained with stocked soap, which I believe speaks volumes about a business's commitment to overall hygiene and healthy practices. Out in the main area, the food display is impeccably organized, and I've never observed any cross-contamination of pastries. Beyond my beloved avocado toast—where the perfectly cooked, runny egg and balanced portions of avocado, bread, mayo, and seasoning shine—I've also indulged in their pancakes and chocolate scone. The pancakes were soft, fluffy, and thick, served with fresh, juicy berries. While I wished for one more pancake, I appreciate that you can easily add an extra. The chocolate scone was also a treat: thick, delightfully crumbly on the outside, and soft on the inside. While the coffee is good and certainly gets the job done, it might not be considered "top shelf." However, this is a minor detail in an otherwise exceptional experience. Expect a short line for ordering, usually 2 to 5 minutes, but rest assured the staff are excellent listeners and always verify your order with care. Åpent Bakeri has truly won me over with its delicious food, warm service, vibrant atmosphere, and unwavering commitment to quality. It's clear why it's a local favorite, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly authentic and enjoyable bakery...
Read moreI usually love this place, especially for breakfast, but my recent visits have been a bit disappointing. The avocado toast recipe changed – no more tomatoes, (I preferred it with tomatoes) especially since the price has gone up (though I understand the price increase). Service was off: our cappuccinos came as lattes. When our food was ready, it sat on the serving counter for a while, but the buzzer didn't work, so we only noticed it by chance. Unfortunately, it had already gotten cold. The bread was also over-fried – the edges were so hard it was difficult to cut, even though I normally love their bread. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but it was definitely worse than usual. There was way too much salt on the eggs, you can visually notice that there is too much flakes. I also ordered a cappuccino to go, and even though they said it was a cappuccino, it tasted more like a latte – very milky with a lot of foam. I’ve had cappuccinos here many times before, and this one just didn’t...
