Papegøye is a café, wine bar and meeting place in Grønland, run by the longtime friends Anton Söderman and Adil Khan, who come from dance, performing arts, culture and communication. Coffee has always been at its core: the specialty coffee is made for curious coffee drinkers and devoted coffee nerds alike. Anton has won a number of coffee competitions and coached several Norwegian champions, and in 2022 three of the five baristas on the Norwegian national coffee team came from Papegøye.
Everything on the menu is plant-based, from smoothies, juices and baked goods to salads, sandwiches and light dishes, and the bar pours natural wines, cocktails, beer and sake. A recent renovation and expansion gave it more space and its own stage for events, art and culture.
The name means parrot. The owners chose it for their guests, who come from every age, background and culture, the way parrots come in every colour and shape.
