Espresso House Solli Plass
Henrik Ibsens gate 90D, 0255 Oslo, Norge 1 hour
This is one of the city's largest coffee shops, meaning you can almost always find a spot. With deep armchairs and dim lighting on the second floor, it feels more like a cozy living room than a busy chain. It is a perfect spot for an informal meeting before heading elsewhere, or if you just want to sit and talk for a long time without feeling pressure to order more.
Why this works as a date
The large windows provide plenty of light and views of the street life, while the sofas invite you to sit close and talk undisturbed.
What to order
A salted caramel Frapino is a safe bet, or share one of their large cinnamon buns.
Best time to go
In the afternoon when the light falls beautifully through the large windows
