La Belle Flør:
A slightly smaller and very charming café combined with a flower shop located in Ullevålsveien. The café offers fast internet and student discounts on food and drinks. This place primarily provides a quiet working environment, but there is a high risk of being tempted by the delicious pastries, fresh smoothies and fresh salads!
