Supreme Roastworks occupies a small coffee bar on Thorvald Meyers gate in Grünerløkka, northeast of central Oslo. A working roaster shares the room with a few tables, a sofa and window stools. Come here for espresso or a hand brew, with the roasting equipment and bags of beans close to the counter.
The other Oslo café is at Stranden 67 on Aker Brygge, beside the waterfront. Choose Thorvald Meyers gate if you want to see the roastery as well as drink its coffee; choose Aker Brygge when your route follows the harbour.
Coffee
The menu covers espresso, milk drinks and V60 hand brews. A flat white suits a short stop; a single-origin filter gives you more time to compare the coffee with the bags on the retail shelf. Ask which coffees are available that day before choosing a brew.
Supreme has a particular interest in naturally processed coffees, with fruit-forward lots alongside other seasonal choices. The selection changes, so choose by the current origin and process rather than expecting one fixed flavour profile on every visit.
Filter
Hand brews arrive in glass servers with ceramic cups, while milk drinks are served in drinking glasses. The separate server makes filter a good order for a seated visit: pour a little at a time and let the remaining coffee cool.
Beans, brewers, grinders and filters make up the retail selection. If you want to reproduce a cup at home, ask which beans were used and how to adjust your own recipe. Allow more time for a hand brew than for an espresso order.
Pastry
The pastry selection can include cinnamon rolls, croissants and brownies, with occasional sandwiches. It works for coffee and a small bite; plan a separate meal if you need a full lunch. The limited table space also makes this an easier stop for one or two people than a group.
Service & Room
Window stools and a sofa supplement the small tables. Benches outside add seats in good weather, but there is little spare room indoors when the counter is busy. Takeaway is the practical option if every seat is occupied.
Order at the counter and use the current bean selection to guide the conversation. The room is close enough to the bar to watch drinks being made, though a queue leaves less time for a detailed discussion. Coffee and equipment questions are best saved for a quieter moment.
Why Filter Notes shortlisted Supreme Roastworks
Supreme Roastworks earns a place for its in-house roasting, naturally processed coffees, V60 service and substantial retail selection. Start at Grünerløkka for the roaster and brew bar together. Seating is the main constraint: it is a small café, so a slow filter stop depends on finding space.
