Kjøkken og Kaffe - Oslo S

Nestled conveniently in the heart of Oslo, just opposite Starbucks at Jernbanetorget 1, Kjøkken og Kaffe is a charming cafe that promises a delightful culinary experience amidst the bustle of the Oslo Central Station. This vibrant spot is perfect for those looking to savor both traditional Norwegian fare and comforting international favorites, all while enjoying the effervescent atmosphere that comes with its central location.
