    A coffee shop with a local feel, despite the glass building location. Straight forward coffee menu using beans locally roasted in Brooklyn, which gave a medium dark roast flavor. A nice selection of baked goods, some vegan options as well. I tried both the chocolate chip cookie and the blueberry scone. Recommend the cookie... Which was considerably thick, not too sweet, and soft enough to eat directly and crispy enough to dunk in your coffee. Friendly owner can provide suggestions.

    Nice location and space. Coffee is very average. Very watered down and oddly bitter. Ordered the iced cortado with oat milk through the Ritual app since they were having a $1 promotion. Since I ordered with oat milk (they use Oatly barista), the total came out to be $2.18. Normally it would be $5+. Expensive prices for mediocre coffee. Would not come again.

    The place is very nice and cozy..almost didn't find it. The service was very nice, coffee really good. I also tried banana and strawberry smoothie which was great! About the food - I tried avosandwich, so sandwich with avocados and olive oil which was great! My friend ordered breakfast menu with bacon, eggs and cheese which looked really good too. What else can I say? Totally recommend this place to anyone who wants to avoid Starbucks and have nice breakfast and nice coffee in authentic place! Will come back for sure!

    Great coffee! Really enjoyed it. Also got a chocolate croissant which was quite yummy. Very friendly staff. Not very big place, but nice atmosphere. Look forward to going again.

    The exterior is modern, but the interior is small, comfortable, and warm. The staff is also friendly and made me feel comfortable while I sipped my coffee.

    Very tasty breakfast sandwich across the street from Lifetime Fitness. Great place to grab a coffee before working out.

    Such a personable, quaint coffee shop in the heart of NYC. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive and the service is FAST. I got am iced latte and an almond croissant (warmed up) which were divine. My gf got a mango smoothie and a BLT but wasn’t crazy about the bread. They do have a homemade mayonnaise that was tasty though. Would definitely recommend this spot. The subpar BLT is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

    Love love love this place. They have created a neighbourhood vibe right in the middle of Hell’s Kitchen. Glen is a legend, such a warm welcome every time and he makes an extremely good coffee. You can tell how passionate the team are about their beans! Breakfast sandwiches excellent and really good value for money. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area. Thank you Glen for making me feel right at home whilst on a business trip to New York!

    While neslted between 2 very luxury high rises, the staff is so down to earth and friendly. In house baked pastries are yum and the vegetarian chili was yum. Add your hicoo to the communal binder of hicoos. Outdoor seating and indoor. Doggy friendly.

    This spot is a hidden gem. Food is tasty, the coffee/ tea is amazing but the staff are the nicest and that’s what makes a business great.

  • 5/5 Ruhshona A. 5 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Visited this place a few times, always like it. I pair a warm turkey sandwich (add avocado) with cappuccino, very simple yet delicious. Love their bread! Cozy music and polite staff. P.S. In one of my visits I didn’t like the fact that as soon as their owner/manager (elder man) left, they turned on an different music(reggaeton). Nothing bad about it, in my humble opinion it just does not match the atmosphere of the place.

    Great coffee 👌 super service, delicous meals, fair prices and great atmosphere 🙌🙌🙌

    Got a coffee here during the day on a Friday. Pretty crowded - which is a good sign - but the service was super slow and the place looked like it needed some cleaning. Also, they only seem to have a pretty dark roast on service.

  • 3/5 Pranav N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Location and decent coffee. I think they can leverage their position and build a beautiful escape amidst the downtown hustle . Request the owner to invest more in creating an ambiance and general upgrade.

    If you’re in a hurry never come here. Also it just takes forever to get just a simple coffee and bagel. Even when the cafe is empty! Also the prices are way overpriced for just that. Like $12 for a plain bagel and coffee? Also I asked for a bagel with butter. (Like any other coffee shop they put the gutter on the bagel.) but not here! Being as lazy as they are they put a cube of butter in the bag, somehow not thinking that the butter wouldn’t melt next to a burning hot bagel. Not even within 5 minutes and my bag broke because it was drenched in butter. My hands felt like I dipped them in a bowl of oil. And even after the amount of utter that was all over the place! The bagel had no butter on it! Also every time I’m in the person behind the counter ALWAYS constantly talks about what I order to the whole cafe, which is embarrassing and uncomfortable. If you want a delicious, quickly made, and cheaper coffee plus breakfast item don’t go here. Go to the Sunac grocery market. They have the best things for a good price and you get it very fast.

    Glad I found this lil spot while parking. I had the BEST biscuit with preserves and vegan coffee. Definitely didn't expect the baked goods to be soo good.

  • 5/5 Dimitri H. 1 year ago on Google
    The best peanut butter cookie worldwide!! I would recommend the avocado toast if you are looking for something savory, it is well made with lettuce/tomatoes and some olive oil

  • 5/5 Steven 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food. Excellent coffee. Friendly folks - customers and staff.

    The coffee is usually ok but I won’t be going back to this location again. I live in the towers and literally every time I go there has been an issue. I asked for a black coffee, the barista acknowledged, let me pay (tipping for a pre brewed coffee pour) then forgot to get it for 5 minutes. When they remembered there was no more in the pot and I had to wait for a new brew, which is normally not an issue. They forgot about me again. Another visit I asked for a product to start the transaction, was told ok and served with it missing to again have the barista walk away with no follow up forcing me to flag them down again. If it were busy when I went, I’d understand. I’ve been the only or one of 2/3 patrons present each time. What bothers me most, is the baristas are so friendly and attentive to the people around me. I’m not chatty but certainly not rude, I don’t know if it’s that I don’t look like their normal customer base (these apartments are $5k+ monthly). It’s so disappointing, but I will not be coming back to this location again. You’ve got good coffee. Do better, Oslo.

  • 5/5 Jennifer E. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly service, great coffee, and the breakfast sandwich made by Joh was amazing!! Definitely coming back!

  • 5/5 Francis B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice coffee shop. Hard to find at first, best to follow Google Maps directions. It was the closest, well rated coffee shop near the Javitz Center. Perfect for a pick me up before a convention or show. The Cold Brew was good, the staff was friendly, and it's very cute and "home-ey" inside. There are a few seats and tables outside as well.

  • 5/5 Maggie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Such nice ladies and a great atmosphere. Moved to NYC and my first stop was at Oslo and their machine wasn’t working so they game me all my stuff on the house. So nice of them and will be coming back often as my daily coffee place

  • 5/5 Rufino A. 4 years ago on Google
    Super friendly and inviting. A quiet get away from the busy city. Make sure to stop in before your boat tour.

  • 4/5 A A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Stephanie P. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    cute coffee shop. it’s giving slightly scandinavian vibes but doesn’t try hard. very kind workers with bright spirit. walked into the barista bonding with a customer over a mutual friend? or mutual location they share memories at? either way service was amazing and coffee was fine. a little expensive $5 for a black coffee? oh well. would recommend just to brighten up my day
