Café Passabel

The Spis take

A cosy neighborhood café out in Ensjø that leans French-inspired, doing waffles, lunch plates and dishes with a bit of a personal touch, and it draws unusually warm reviews (4.7 on Tripadvisor). Locals praise the friendly, hardworking staff and the sense that it's built to be a genuine gathering spot for the area, weekday or celebration. Prices are moderate; a charming local rather than a city-wide draw, and better for it.
