Kaffebrenneriet

About Kaffebrenneriet

Grünerløkka is here to stay, albeit somewhat different than what some thought when it all started (as far back as we can remember, which isn't long). Coffee came rather late in this development, first as coffee in the shade and then with coffee in the sunny wall. Boundless and with fantastic views over the park. Grünerløkka is Blå, coffee, Fru Hagen, fashion shops and a bustling area. Long ago, the story of Thorvald Meyer echoes through history – in 1861 he bought parts of the meadow from mint master Friedrich Grüner, who himself had bought this called Nedre Foss Mølle in 1672 from King Christian V. The wholesaler Meyer, based on a huge surplus from land sales, funded the development of Thorvald Meyers gate and gave away plots for the construction of parks, churches and schools.
