Breakfast sandwich and coffee under 150 NOK at Mel
Mel sits airside in Terminal T at Oslo Airport, listed as a café and bakery with a low “$” price tier compared with most OSL spots. Think quick counter service, pastries in the case, and basic espresso drinks rather than a full hot kitchen. Seating tends to be shared with the nearby gates, so plan on using standard terminal chairs instead of a dedicated dining room.
Food options at Mel usually center on bakery standards: croissants, simple sandwiches, and sweet pastries that hold up to a 2–3 hour flight. Expect pricing in the 40–80 NOK range per pastry, with light sandwiches and basic snacks coming in closer to 90–140 NOK. Portion sizes track with Scandinavian café norms, so one pastry and one drink is a sensible pre-flight bite rather than a full meal.
On the drink side, the café setup means the usual espresso, cappuccino, and latte lineup, plus filter coffee sized for takeaway. At OSL, coffee from similar spots tends to land around 35–50 NOK for a small brewed cup and 45–60 NOK for milk-based espresso drinks. If you’re watching both time and budget before a Norwegian or SAS flight out of T, Mel is likely one of the cheaper places to grab caffeine without leaving the terminal.
There’s a catch: no independent FlyerTalk, Reddit, or blog write-ups currently single out Mel for special praise or criticism, so you’re essentially rolling with a standard airport café. With no strong reports on standout dishes, the safest move is to stick to simple bakery items baked on-site that day and basic black coffee rather than anything overly elaborate.
Tip: Pick up your pastry and drink in one go here, then carry everything to your exact gate in Terminal T; OSL boarding can start a solid 30 minutes before departure, and Mel may not be right next to your door.
