Joe and the Juice

Joe and the Juice is a nice place to have a drink. Originated from Denmark, you can find Joe and the Juice cafes in many countries including US, UK, ... In Oslo, there are now several of them: one near the Stortinget station, one next to the"Steen & Strøm" shopping mall in Nedre Slottsgate.

What is the concept of this place? Mainly juices from freshly squeezed fruits and original sandwiches. A particular effort has been given to the name of the drinks (Prince of Green, Hangover Heaven, ...) and the sandwiches, though simple, are pretty good.

Sandwiches are thin so it is hard to do them justice in a photo

About the price: I am not sure whether the prices are the same everywhere but at Steen & Strøm, the juice costs 55 or 65 (small or big) and the sandwich is at 75. Not too bad for the area.

To conclude, if you don't know Joe and the Juice and are visiting Oslo, consider having a drink there!

New Starbucks in Oslo

Ok, this is a quite old news now but I still wanted to say two words about it. In the past, the only Stabuck's coffeehouse in Oslo (and in Norway if I am not mistaken) was at Oslo airport. You can find a way to go there for less money here by the way.

But recently, Starbucks has opened a new cafe in the center of Oslo, inside Oslo City. Here is a photo I took when it was under construction.

This is of course a good news as people can enjoy Starbucks coffee without having to the airport. In case you wonder what Oslo City is: it is a shopping center next to the Oslo S train station. It is not that big but has 4 or 5 floors.

That's it, it was just a small post I had in mind for a long time but that I had given up because I kind of missed the opening. Just changed my mind and decided to write about it anyway.

PS: For coffee fans, this is a nice coffee mug for you. Stays cool even if you pour hot coffee in it, the drink stays warm, etc...
