How To Make A Cappuccino - This is how we do it at Oslo kaffebar

/ Oslo Kaffebar/

A skilled barista, high-quality coffee beans, an exceptional grinder and one of the world’s finest espresso machines, together, they create a damn good cup of coffee.

At Oslo Kaffebar, every cappuccino is more than a drink — it’s the result of precision, expertise, and a love for coffee. Since 2012, we have focused on making each cup consistent, delicious, and reflective of our Nordic-inspired coffee philosophy.

A look behind the bar at Oslo Kaffebar: 15 grams of espresso, perfectly textured milk, and a cappuccino made with care and consistency.

Precision in Every Shot

Every espresso shot at Oslo Kaffebar is made using exactly 15 grams of coffee. This level of precision ensures the perfect extraction, balance, and flavour in every cup. Our baristas are extensively trained to maintain this standard consistently, whether it’s your first cappuccino of the morning or your fifth visit this week.

We use a Keys Van Der Westen Spirit espresso machine, one of the finest in the industry. Its precision controls and reliability allow us to craft espresso shots that highlight the natural flavours of the beans, every single time.

A Neighbourhood Café in Berlin Mitte — Where Dogs Are Always Welcome

/

Bring your dog to Oslo Kaffebar

At Oslo Kaffebar, dogs have always been part of the story.

Since opening in 2012, we have welcomed four-legged guests just as warmly as their owners. In fact, many dogs have been visiting us for years, growing up alongside the café itself.

Berlin is known for being a dog-friendly city, and Oslo Kaffebar proudly continues that tradition. Our neighbourhood regulars often stop by with their dogs, who have become just as familiar to us as their humans.

Behind the counter, there is always a jar of dog treats ready. Regulars know where to find it, and many dogs walk in confidently, already expecting their daily biscuit.

The café has always been a relaxed and welcoming space, where muddy paws on a rainy day or a wagging tail by the espresso bar are part of the atmosphere.

Even Kobolt, the founder of Oslo kaffebars own dog, has been part of Oslo Kaffebar’s journey since the beginning. From quiet mornings to busy weekends, he helped shape the warm and familiar environment that so many guests return to today.

Dogs bring conversation, laughter and connection. They help turn a coffee break into a shared moment.

Whether you’re stopping by for specialty coffee, a cinnamon bun, or just a quick hello on your daily walk, your dog is always welcome at Oslo Kaffebar.

Specialty Coffee In Berlin Mitte Since 2012

/ Oslo kaffebar/

A little piece of Oslo in Mitte

In the heart of Berlin-Mitte, Oslo Kaffebar has been serving specialty coffee since 2012. Founder Kristian Moldskred wanted to bring a small piece of Norwegian coffee culture to Berlin. Naturally, Norwegian cinnamon buns and black filter coffee were on the menu from the very beginning.

Welcome to Oslo Kaffebar

Bags of coffee beans from renowned Norwegian roasters such as Tim Wendelboe and Solberg & Hansen filled the shelves, and Kristian himself stood behind the three-group espresso machine, pulling shots and slowly shaping the café into the local meeting place it is today.

Over the years, Oslo Kaffebar has experienced both ups and downs. Through it all, our loyal customers and neighbourhood friends have supported us every step of the way. From the time our espresso machine was stolen, to broken dishwashers and failing cash registers, from freezing winters to scorching summer days, and not least during the pandemic, when only one customer was legally allowed inside at a time, the community stood with us.

Many of our regular guests have been visiting since the early days in 2012. Some stop by for their morning filter coffee before work. Others come in the afternoon for a cappuccino and conversation. Over time, faces become familiar, orders become known, and small routines turn into meaningful rituals.

We are deeply grateful for everyone who visits us, whether from just around the corner or from across the city. Thank you for making Oslo Kaffebar the meeting place and creative hub it is today.

At Oslo Kaffebar we roast our own coffees which we proudly brew in the shop and sell in gift bags. Our good friend Justin Miles, the talent behind the roasting machine, selects coffees for us on a seasonal basis. We always buy green coffee from farms supporting sustainable, safe and forward-thinking work environments for farmers and coffee pickers. We currently have a wide ride of coffees on offer so stop in by for something new and exciting!

STOLEN!!

/

Monday morning 6th of October our baristas came to work and found the place robbed. Espresso machine, grinders, ipads and money was all gone! Our lovely espresso machine was a  Spirit triplette from Kees Van der Westen.
We have already ordered a new Spirit, its a waiting time of aprox 3 months. Meanwhile we are rocking a La Marzocco GB5.
If you ever see people moving around coffee machines in the middle of the night, make sure its not a burglary. And if you see a place suddenly rocking a Spirit triplette (a 15.000 euro machine) and it seems suspicious, let us know.. we sure miss our girl.
