Hibi Kaffe shares The Little Pickle at Jens Bjelkes gate 9A, east of Oslo’s centre between Tøyen and Grünerløkka. The café combines Ayae Maki Fredheim’s roasted coffee with bread and pastries from the in-house bakery. Coffee bags near the entrance make it easy to choose beans after a cup.
The bakery is a reason to allow time here. Come for coffee with sourdough or a pastry, then look through the available beans. It is a daytime stop with limited café hours, so check the schedule before adding it to an afternoon route.
Coffee
Fredheim started Hibi in November 2024 after working as a barista and roaster. Her retail selection changes with the lots available, covering coffees from several producing countries. Ask which coffee the café is serving that day before buying a bag; the shelf is broader than the brewed selection.
Start with a black coffee if you want to taste Hibi’s roasting. Ask whether the current option is washed or naturally processed and choose according to your preference. The bakery shares the space, so it is easy to add food without moving to another café.
Filter
Hibi sells single-origin coffees with producer and processing information. A brewed coffee is a straightforward way to sample the current selection before buying beans. Ask what is available on the bar rather than assuming every retail lot can be ordered by the cup.
The coffee bar shares its premises with a bakery and restaurant. It is better suited to a cup with something baked than to a long sequence of comparative tastings. If you want detailed brewing advice, try a quieter moment when the team has time to talk.
Food
The Little Pickle’s bakery opened in early 2025 and makes sourdough goods on site. Bread and pastries are available alongside Hibi coffee during café service. Choose from the day’s baking, since the range can change and popular items may sell out.
The restaurant has a separate evening service. Plan a Hibi visit around the bakery-café schedule, allowing time for coffee and a small meal or pastry. An evening restaurant booking is a different experience and does not replace checking the daytime coffee hours.
Service & Room
Jens Bjelkes gate lies southeast of the main Grünerløkka coffee streets. Hibi can be combined with a walk from Tim Wendelboe or Supreme Roastworks, but it needs its own stop rather than a detour inside Mathallen or the station. The compact room suits a small party.
Use the café for a short sit, a look at the beans and a coffee conversation when the counter is quiet. Bakery customers share the space, so a busy service can leave less room to linger. Check opening days and closing time before making a special journey.
Why Filter Notes shortlisted Hibi Kaffe
Hibi earns its place for Fredheim’s roasting and the combination of coffee with in-house baking. It is a strong daytime option for someone who wants bread or pastry with a specialty cup. Short café hours and the shared restaurant setting are the main planning constraints.
