Oslo Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in New York

With the closure of my favorite neighborhood coffee shop, Sugar Loaf Cafe, I had the good fortune of being introduced to Oslo within a few days. Delicious Brooklyn roasted beans in a small, no frills shop on a quiet street a couple blocks from the Sugar Loaf location. Not necessarily the kind of coffee shop where you'd sit and work on your screenplay or discuss plagiarism in the digital age with other philosopher autodidacts, but certainly a place where you can find a very well crafted espresso drink. It really was a top flight latte. The barista even tried to do latte art. I'm sure she'll get better with time - it almost looked like a flower. The new best coffee in the neighborhood crown goes to Oslo Coffee Roasters....

This is my second time getting coffee from this place and because it was really good. I got an iced macchiato and when I added the amount of milk that I wanted because it was a small pull of the espresso. I asked the lady for some more ice and she gave me an attitude and said it’s starting to look like an iced latte maybe you should get that next time and her tone was rather rude and I feel that could’ve have been said in a different manner. Definitely didn’t order that with my coffee. I hate leaving these reviews but that’s why this is 4 stars. Customer service isn’t easy I get it but don’t take it out on the customer if you are...

Specialty coffee at its finest. No whistles or flairs just incredibly well-dialed in bran with expertly-steamed milk. I get a skin flat white and the barista, who ever it may be on that given day, knows not to scorch the milk which is a huge deal for a quick drink like a flat white. This place is a cute little hole in the wall with a bit of outdoor seating available. Lots of dog owners in the area walk their dogs and I happened to snag a pic of a friendly one on a morning I was there catching up...
