Élan is Magnat Kaffehus’s flagship coffee bar in Kirkegata, where the brewing counter and the room itself are part of the visit. The bar serves espresso and filter coffee, with space to pause over the cup rather than only take it away. Its interiors include a sound installation by Jonas von der Fehr, designed as part of the architecture. The central address makes it a convenient coffee stop while exploring Kvadraturen. It opens on weekdays and Saturdays, with Sunday listed as closed.

Åpent Bakeri runs the daytime café at Tranen, on the corner by Alexander Kiellands plass. The counter offers bread, pastries and coffee, while the kitchen menu adds egg dishes, sandwiches, salads and pancakes. It works for an early coffee stop or a longer breakfast, with several vegetarian options on the food menu. The bakery café closes at 16:00; Lofthus Samvirkelag takes over with pizza in the evening. Treat those as two different visits when planning your meal, as the menus and service hours change.
