Oslo Raw has two Oslo cafés, one on Skovveien in Frogner and one on Ullevålsveien at Adamstuen. The counter serves breakfast and brunch alongside smoothies, coffee, cakes and the bakery's handmade sweets. You can also order whole cakes and other products through its online shop. Both cafés publish the same daytime opening hours and do not take table reservations, so plan to walk in. Choose your branch before setting off; this listing covers both rather than a single map pin. The linked menu shows the current café selection.

Grand Hotel offers a more iconic version of afternoon tea where the surroundings are part of the experience. Grand Hotel serves its weekend afternoon tea in Palmen Restaurant. The hotel provides a separate table-booking route for Palmen, so reserve that experience specifically rather than a hotel room or a table at another Grand restaurant.

Hotel Bristol serves afternoon tea in Mauriske Salonger, the rooms formerly known as Vinterhaven and Bibliotekbaren. The current menu includes savoury bites, warm scones with clotted cream and preserves, and cakes from the hotel's pastry kitchen, with a choice of tea included. Vegetarian, pregnancy-related and some other adjustments can be requested, and a gluten-free version is listed separately. Book a table at Hotel Bristol on Kristian IVs gate rather than going to Grand Hotel on Karl Johans gate. Check the menu and price again when reserving.

Babbo Collective's small cafe branch at Parkveien 80 in Vika works just as well for relaxed mornings as it does for social evenings. During the day, you can drop by for great pastries, fresh bread with butter and cheese, open bagels, and omelets, or simply enjoy a properly good cup of coffee. They offer both indoor seating and outdoor seating when the weather permits, but because it is almost always full, it is a good idea to book a table in advance if possible. As the day transitions into evening, the vibe shifts toward social gatherings, natural wines, and comforting pasta dishes when dinner service is on. Price levels are moderate, and it is an ideal spot in Vika whenever you want great food and a welcoming atmosphere without any fuss.
