Oslo Coffee Roasters

Oslo Coffee sits on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, a few blocks south of the L train at Bedford. The roastery has been pouring since 2003, one of the early specialty programs in New York, and roasts in small batches for sustainability and grower wages. The Bedford bar pulls espresso on a piston-driven manual lever machine, which is unusual in the city and a quiet point of pride. The community rebuilt the place after a 2013 fire and the room still feels like one a neighborhood decided to keep. Mornings draw Williamsburg locals, North Brooklyn workers heading to the Bedford stop, and tourists who walked over the bridge looking for an old guard NYC roaster. Order a lever-pulled espresso if you came to taste manual extraction the way Oslo dials it. Order a filter brew of a current single origin if you want the cup the regulars have been ordering for twenty years.
