Bøker og Børst

Really cool cafe in Stavanger. Great coffee and delicious carrot cake. The decor was very eccentric yet homey. Just a great place to either just read a good book, sit and catch up with a friend, or spend time with a date. They also serve a good variety of alcohol here as well.

I would definitely recommend taking time to make a stop here if you're in Stavanger. The entire area is very picture worthy, and you won't be disappointed with the quality of coffee, service and atmosphere.

Fantastic and eclectic spot in the heart of Stavanger. Very chill spot with cozy inside, front patio and awesome garden in the back. Come sit and read, play a game, hang with your friends or alone. The carrot cake is fantastic too. Truly a gem. Wifi password written on the chalkboard so you don't have to search.

What a jovial and fun bar. Eclectic music, kooky pix and posters with a bunch of beers on drafts and bottles. Outside seating with inside seating that reaches out to the right side becoming another covered outdoor area. There is a whole wall of boardgames to choose from. It is a coffee shop, but it graduates to a bar at night.

Go inside to order and carry your drink to where you want to sit. Friendly lady bartender.

Exploring the town and by chance happened upon this nice little cafe/coffee/beer house. I knew this would be a great place because they were packed but they had just open too. I watched as server quickly help folks ordering coffee and treats. Decided to take a short walk and when I returned things much quieter.
I was able to take some time to ask about some local beers. The young woman was great. She showed me a couple varieties of beer and directed me towards one she thought I would like. It was great.
Sitting back drinking my beer, I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of this shop. They play great music; have an outdoor patio; main bar for counter orders; both booth and table seating plus a small room in the back.
I passed many other cafes but this one just had the right feel and I was not disapointed. I would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing break in your touring day.

This is a cool concept for a bar. Books everywhere, even in the bathroom. We went on a weekday evening and sat outside. I loved the seating. You were together but apart. Just the right amount of noise. The bar was packed but the drinks came fast. I really enjoyed my cider. My drinking companions tried some local brews and had no complaints. We shared a sour that was really sour (too much for me) but they were raving about the taste. I'd like to go back and sit inside amongst the books. Maybe next trip!

This was such a nice find during one of our cruise stops in the British Isles. Located amongst a bunch of colorfully painted buildings, adorned with rainbow flags, and lots of outdoor seating along a cobblestone street, this cafe and bar was the perfect spot to sit and relax on a drizzly Norwegian day.

They provide blankets outside for the little bit of chill as well as heat lamps (which appears fairly typical).

The coffee was delicious and the girl who worked the counter was super friendly. Prices are slightly higher (compared to the US $) but I believe they are pretty comparable to anywhere in the area. I believe we paid about $4.00 (approx) for an Americano. It was a very good Americano, though. And for me and my family, totally worth it for the ambiance alone.

A cute little place. Very funky, cosy, warm and inviting. The inside is fairly small, but they have additional seating on a patio in the back and along the street out front. A nice selection of beers; the draft selections during my visit included beers from Norway, the US and the Netherlands. This is a cafe so they also have assorted teas and coffees and sweets (the Guinness chocolate cake is very tasty). Our server was very friendly. This place is in a very convenient location right in the central part of town.

Definitely worth a visit.

This was one of my favorite finds in Stavanger.

A funky little coffee shop that clearly revels in its funkiness, has good coffee, good beers, an assortment of pastries, friendly staff, and no matter where you sit you're immersed in a stack of books. Real, glorious, paper-and-binding, microchip-less, real books.

And they also have a poster of Townes Van Zandt over in the corner, which alone made stopping in for a while and hanging out a happy kismet occurrence for me.

A cosy pub/cafe. Offers as they self claim 17 different beers on tap plus some more in bottles. Locals of different age with a quite a great number of students. Seating both inside and outside (cosy patio).

The pastries were delicious, the tea was just right, and the people-watching couldn't have been better.
