THE LONG-TERM VISION
Part of everyday neighbourhood life.
We imagine a bakery, café and food programme that grows alongside Nabolagshus — a welcoming place to stop by, stay a while, and meet people.
Fresh bread and pastries, carefully made coffee, simple seasonal food and house-made drinks. A shared table, small workshops, community meals and room for collaborations with the people and activities already shaping the house.
This is a vision for the future, not a claim about what the building can accommodate today. The exact format would be developed together, as the space and its possibilities become clearer.
Morning
Fresh bread, pastries, breakfast and coffee — something for neighbours to pick up or enjoy together.
Daytime
Simple lunches, seasonal food, coffee and a relaxed meeting point for people using the house.
Later on
Community dinners, workshops, shared tables and occasional food-led events that complement the house's programme.
IN THE MEANTIME
We don't have to wait for the building to be finished.
While Etterstadgata 6 is taking shape, smaller temporary formats could bring people together, test ideas and build familiarity with the place. Each would depend on access, facilities, permissions and agreement with the Nabolagshus team.
02
Pop-ups
Bakery drops, brunches, guest menus and small food collaborations — flexible in size and frequency.
03
Markets & festivals
Small neighbourhood food festivals, seasonal markets and events bringing local makers and visitors together.
04
Food for house events
Coffee, baked goods, meals and catering for volunteer days, cultural activities and community meetings.
05
Tastings & workshops
Hands-on coffee sessions, food workshops and gatherings that invite people to participate.
ALREADY HAPPENING
Not starting from scratch.
Our ideas grow out of work we already do in Oslo: baking, making coffee and drinks, working in neighbourhood hospitality, hosting tastings and putting together food-led pop-ups and events.
Kiosk!
Neighbourhood coffee and daily hospitality at Galgeberg.
Gråbein
A neighbourhood bar built around informal hospitality and local community.
Pop-ups & events
Food, baking, breakfast, coffee and seasonal drinks brought together in temporary formats.
Coffee tastings
Small-group tasting experiences that bring people together around coffee.
Bakery demand
Repeat interest in our bakery drops and conversations about supplying local cafés.
THE TEAM
Different skills, one shared approach.
Marla
Chef and baker, bringing professional kitchen experience, baking and food development to the project.
Iku
Coffee, drinks and front-of-house development, with over 15 years in specialty coffee and experience in events and education.
Patrice
Co-owner of Gråbein, bringing practical experience in neighbourhood bar operations and hospitality.
Together we can contribute food, bakery, coffee, beverages, service and event experience — in whatever format makes sense for the house.
NABOLAGSHUS · ETTERSTADGATA 6
A place still taking shape.
That's precisely why we're interested. Rather than arriving with a finished business plan for an existing restaurant, we'd like to explore how food and hospitality could become part of the house as it develops.
We see the possibility of contributing to everyday activity in the future — and to smaller gatherings, outdoor events and temporary formats much sooner.
We want to listen, understand the plans for the building and work with the people involved to find a useful role for our project.

THE PROPOSAL
Let's find a way to start.
We'd love to explore both a longer-term home for bakery, coffee and food — and a smaller first collaboration while the house is being developed.
Start small. Build something that belongs.
