Crema's Take
“Oslo's heavily roasted espresso cuts through milk with real backbone, making their iced lattes and cappuccinos taste like actual coffee rather than flavored milk—a rare find on the Upper East Side where most shops chase smooth and approachable. The space is intentionally tiny with just one table, which means you're either grabbing a quick cup from their efficient counter or settling in with the New York Times for a slow morning, but either way, you're getting coffee that justifies the walk past all the mediocre chains nearby.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Cute little coffee shop, with friendly staff and delicious coffee. My favorite is their cold brew. The place is tiny, and if you come during the busy time in the morning, there could be a decent-sized line, about 5-8 people deep. At times, the line is out the door, and you’ll…
The barista can be abrupt if you’re not a local. Funny when people pick up what they think is a New York attitude on purpose. Coffee is ok. Vegan carrot muffin was good.
Great iced latte, vanilla amount was just right. Smooth espresso, one size for iced only. Barista seemed overworked and she was alone, but was still polite. Cute place, coffee was a bit $$ with oat milk and vanilla both being an upcharge. Overall still recommended.
Cozy coffee shop with only one table. But such lovely place. I love their have New York Times on the table. Good old days! Black coffee is heavy roasted. It’s good base for cappuccino.
There's a reason I walk 10 blocks past a million other coffee shops to OSLO (clarification: upper east side, not Norway). It's because the coffee is outstanding and there's certain tiny coffee shop charm that I love. That said, it is very tiny, but that's usually not a problem.…
