meh. overpriced, underwhelming chai from a carton…sigh
A bit disappointed once I stepped in, as I was expecting something more relaxing or stylish, both of which I failed to find at Oslo. What was worse, the time I got there (around 430-ish on a Sunday afternoon) they already ran out of pastries! Oh also, remember to ask for skim milk if you are a fan of that, they only serve whole/half and half at the counter.
Nothing seemed to work for me here so I would not return.
coffee roast still good but they made the "pound" bags 4oz smaller for the same price. And there's plenty of competition from neighboring joints and I am no longer impressed with their community presence. More recent staff are jerky and the owner was cavalier about taking my parking spot in front of the shop when I pulled out for a street cleaner while waiting for alt side . when I told him I had been waiting there for 25 mins with a crying newborn he was like – "just drive around you'll find another one". Thanks dude. We can get our buzz elsewhere.
Such wonderful coffee and espresso. While the space is spare, they make up for it with the quality of the product. Whole beans are a great price and come with a free drink! I definitely recommend the Thor, I've been drinking it for years.
A perfect Americano and a perfect latte every single time.
One of my favorite places for cold brew as well. All around a very solid coffee bar.
No seats here – just good, strong brews and friendly faces. You come to Oslo for the coffee.
Oslo is a very simple café. No frills, not much seating, very small shop. But in terms of coffee, it delivers.
Despite living so close, I only started going after it was mentioned in a Grub Street diet article. I buy almost the same thing each time: a pound of either Thor or Freya (bonus points for the nerdiness of these names).
I'm not a pretentious coffee drinker. I like Starbucks coffee, I like Trader Joe's coffee, and I like Stumptown coffee.
So what keeps me coming back to Oslo for coffee beans? Their ridiculously genius deal of a free drink with the purchase of a pound of coffee. I know it sounds absurd, I could just BUY a drink like a normal person. But I know I wouldn't without that incentive.
And the drinks are awesome each time. I've only gotten coffee drinks (iced, regular, café au lait, red eye), but they all deliver the necessary kick to my brain.
Even better, last time I was there, I saw they had hemp milk! Will have to try that in my iced coffee next time.
Oslo Coffee Roasters is pretty good neighbourhood coffee joint.
The interior is small but quite cozy. I always prefer my coffee in a mug so getting a take out is out of the question.
Macchiato and Cappuccino were both A-OK with lovely latte art.
Would definitely drop by if I am in the neighbourhood again!
Espresso was good and strong. Nice flavor and roast of the beans. But it's decent at best. $3 for a single shot is normal. The barista wasn't listening though when my friend and I both ordered a double espresso but he only made us 2 singles. The biz losses out on an extra $6 bc he's not paying attention, and to me that's considered bad service. I even asked him in the beginning "can I have a double?" to which HE responded "Why not?!". And he still screws up. Wow! The spot is small and quaint, a little NYC rectangular box. Better coffee shops elsewhere. Try blue bottle cafe…..
