Café Laundromat Oslo

Good, clean fun

Glenn from Oslo

I was born and raised in Southern California, but my love of languages brought me to Norway in the early 90s. At the time, I hoped to stay for a year, but I quickly fell for life in Oslo. I've recently returned to Oslo after a year and a half studying in Scotland, and I was thrilled to get the opportunity to rejoin Spotted by Locals so I could share my special Oslo places with others. ...
"It has an open area vibe with plenty of space so that you can be left alone to do as you please. It's also a good spot for a casual meet-up with friends."

The tempo of Café Laundromat depends on the time of day. Off-peak, you'll fit in perfectly behind your laptop for a light "day at the office" or a serious session of social mediation. It has an open area vibe with plenty of space so that you can be left alone to do as you please. It's also a good spot for a casual meet-up with friends. Sit in the upstairs alcove for privacy and find yourself perfectly perched to invade that of the other patrons and staff below.

Visit during the evening and the place is teeming with people exchanging banter, laughter, eating, and drinking in the vibrant atmosphere. Day or night, there's something unmistakably hipster about Café Laundromat and I'm a bit unsettled about fitting in so well. That being said, it's an environment I enjoy.

The beer menu is excellent and you're also bound to find something unexpected on tap. There's also a fairly extensive menu to satisfy any need for food you might have. Your servers might not speak much Norwegian, but I'm guessing if you're reading this it won't bother you. And, umm... you can also wash your clothes here.

I've recently returned to Oslo after a year and a half studying in Scotland, and I was thrilled to get the opportunity to rejoin Spotted by Locals so I could share my special Oslo places with others. Oslo is a vibrant, multicultural city which appeases my need for interacting with all types of people. Having lived in Oslo for over 30 years, I've seen it grow and develop to the extent that much of...
