Oslo Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in New York

One of my favorite coffee shops in NYC. It’s located in Williamsburg - my favorite neighborhood. The coffee shop is quite spacious and has enough tables and stools to take a place in comparison with tiny coffee shops overall. Moreover, there is a bench outside and to my mind it is a nice place to seep coffee in summertime, especially in the evening. I tried cappuccino there. Afterwards, I was full of energy until midnight. Overall, I liked the Oslo coffee. It was good. I also took a pumpkin-banana-some nuts muffin, and it was fantastic! Very tasty and nutritious! It was not like regular sweet muffins elsewhere, it looked and tasted differently and I liked it. In addition, it was huge. Oslo Coffee Roasters is a perfect place to have some rest as well. I prefer to take my time there reading and writhing. There is a huge wooden table with many magazines and a vintage typing machine on it. The ambience is very nice and quite. However, the constantly opening door let the cold air in and it is not comfortable to feel it if you took a seat next to...

Maybe we came at the wrong time (Monday afternoon), but we had an experience very unlike the reviews who say this is a “friendly and welcoming” place.

We aren’t sure why we were treated this way, but we received very poor service, as far as I can recall it was my worst experience at any coffee shop. Our barista was cold and very short with us.

The coffee and hot chocolate also weren’t too great, but the reason for this review is the service we received.

Maybe our barista was having a not so great day. Unfortunately we are from out of town so we cannot come back to give it another try. Kudos to the baristas here who are described as friendly and welcoming, I wish we had been helped by them but there was only one person...

I’ll admit I’m not usually a fan of coffee for the taste. I drink it more for the caffeine than the flavor. But I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the iced mocha at Oslo Coffee. It completely changed my perspective.

The drink had a perfect balance, not overly sweet, not too bitter. The texture stood out most. The combination of steamed milk and chilled coffee made it both rich and refreshing, especially on a warm day. It was flavorful without being overpowering, smooth without being heavy.

This is easily one of the best iced mochas I’ve ever had and I’m already looking forward to coming back next time I'm in New York. Highly recommend even for non-coffee...
