Oslo Coffee Roasters
“This small chain of Scandinavian coffee shops almost lost it's biggest café in a roaring fire recently.”
“The ambience is amazing and my ritual is to sit down on the benches under the japanese pine trees and enjoy every single sip.”
“Not only are they right around the corner, but they are so much friendlier than the other coffee shops off of Bedford (Verb, I'm talking about you!)…”

This cafe SHOULD be getting 3 stars for their coffee but they are getting 4 because their baristas are a couple of BADASSES!!!! I purchased a cup of iced coffee on a Wednesday morning before going to work with an almond croissant. Not the best cup of iced coffee and was rather expensive for a small. ($2.75 but still cheaper than most of the other local shops) The reason why the baristas here are bad ass chicks is because I left my pastry down for a second so that I could put a sugar in my iced coffee. The second I left my pastry down another customer tried to take it. Both baristas flipped out on her! "That's hers! Not yours. You didn't order a pastry!"
I felt embarrassed for the customer who tried to steal my croissant as there was a huge line behind us with over lookers galore, but it's so nice to see workers who care about their customers! Thank you Oslo for not leaving me hungry!
The 3 stars is for the coffee because the iced latte and iced coffee are very tasty and good and fresh.
The bathroom is kind of yucky, however and the kids behind the counter aren't very friendly.
Location is okay. And prices aren't bad for funky coffee shop.
Will be back if I'm in the area.
Damn, that was a might fine Cortado!
When I see the name Oslo, I think of a coffee house in Switzerland, a place where James Bond would glide up on skis and say, Cappuchino please, not too much foam. In all reality, 10 years ago a couple opened their first cafe in Brooklyn and rode in the coffee wave. Rock on Oslo coffee!
This is my first experience at Oslo and from what I see, they're using some expensive espresso machines. For my first coffee, I ordered a Cortado and my son ordered a single drip. I do have to say, the name Oslo had my attention, I was expecting a roasted coffee bean from Europe. Roasted right here in Brooklyn and what we both had rocked the house.
I don't get up to Yorkville but Brooklyn? I look forward to returning and trying your other coffees.
Coffee here is amazing.
I ordered the latte and it was a perfect concoction of milk and espresso in my mouth.
In light of Starbucks moving into Williamsburg, it's time to call out some noteworthy local joints.
Oslo has good, strong coffee (not for the faint of heart). Now that I've gotten into grinding (my own beans, that is), I love their selections and oscillate between Blue Bottle and Oslo.
+1 star for offering a free drink with a purchase of their beans. It's the only coffee establishment I know of that offers that deal, but someone please inform me if there are more! I'm all about free things.
I never linger, though. It's not a very cozy place by any means. Seating is limited and there's no Wi-Fi, so it's best if you just get it to-go.
Customer service = Very nice and chill. Thank you. 🙂 Iced coffee/cold brew = very caffeinated . Haha. No food, except they have homemade poptarts from a nearby bakery, which are very good! Not much seating. Weirdly, there is a prop typewriter on one of the tables. Hmm.
Adorable decor with quality espresso. I really like the open big rectangular tables out near the entrance and the interesting type writer on it. Give me sort of the opposite of writer's block. I wish I lived closer to it, so I would be encouraged and inspired to create things there =).
The latte I got was the correct jolt of energy that I needed! Love the t-shirt hanging on the wall that says Oslo in Katakana!
So I came here on a Paypal run ($5)..;.. but their system wasn't working – they couldn't see who was checked in. So we stood there in awkward silence, because none of us knew what to do. The barista offered us the drink for free, but since BF felt bad, we paid the $4.25 for an iced chai latte.
This is how it was made:
1. Take cup
2. Pour milk
3. Pour concentrated chai mix from a gallon jug
It didn't look good or taste good. Go spend your money somewhere else.
