Backstube Tøyen Torg

slow mornings in tøyen have a different pace to them, and backstube on tøyengata slots into that rhythm without making a thing of it. this is the kind of place you come to when you actually need to sit for a while, not just grab and go. the neighborhood itself, east of the center and lived-in in the best sense, doesn't really attract passing tourist traffic, so the atmosphere tends toward the local and unhurried. well regarded among people who pay attention to coffee in oslo, it holds its reputation quietly. you won't find much performance here, just consistent work from a shop that takes its position in the area seriously. tøyengata in the morning, cortado in hand, is a solid way to start almost anything.
