    Latte
    Jane N.

    Great latte, great service, great ambiance. Next time, I want to try a pastry -- they look good, just haven't tried yet!

    What a great addition this coffee shop is to the Upper east side. I went on their soft opening day and have been coming back ever since. It is small but has such cozy vibes and there is a little sitting area where you can enjoy your coffee, Tea and pastries. They have added a little area on the back wall its a mini library. Customers can bring books to add to it. What a fun idea. The baristas who work here are some of the nicest people and the owners here are super nice and friendly. They also have very little out door seating. They also make amazing coffee drinks. And if you want flavors they use wonderful tasting syrups to make that happen. I have bought a mint iced latte here which tasted like holiday in a cup! It was super good. I have also bought cappuccinos from here. Super tasty! This is a must try place if you are in the area.

    Loved the drinks from here. The staff is so friendly too. Super clean too. The tables are always wiped down. Theres a cozy seating nook in the back. There's also outdoor seating for our furry friends. I can't wait to come back to try their cardamom latte!

    Caramel Latte

    Absolutely one of my favorite coffees in the UES! I got a caramel latte and it came out super quick after ordering. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me as someone that doesn't usually go for a bitter latte. The touch of caramel wasn't super overpowering either. The space inside has a couple places to sit and work but I took it togo. Will absolutely be returning!

    I'm a big fan of this new spot! The caramel latte I got was perfectly made and I enjoyed the atmosphere while I waited. They have some room to sit and a little free library. The staff seemed familiar with the customers and was friendly to me. Their bakery items looked really good so I'll have to check them out next time!

    LB means my heart in Arabic and you can definitely feel the love in this quaint meticulously designed upper east side neighborhood coffee shop! The coffee and pastries were delicious (za'atar croissant is a must!) The owners Geo and Joey make you feel like family and every little detail feels like you have stepped into a warm hug! Love this place. Only wish we had an LB in Virginia! Also, their logo is an olive branch, what's not to love?!!

    Best coffee ever!!

    This is not a sit down and yap/sit down and work kind of coffee spot. It's small and there's only…read moreone table in the tiny corner of the shop where it's mainly people sitting to quickly drink their coffee or wait for their friends to get coffee. Most people are in and out. The coffee is rich and flavorful. The pastries are not bad either. Definitely a good neighborhood spot for those that aren't looking to spend their whole day in a coffee spot but instead are looking to grab and go.

    Let me tell you why this coffee shop stands above the rest:…read more 1. They use quality beans. I'm a home barista and use Oslo's beans for my americanos. When I moved to the UES, I was worried finding a new local roaster. I've had bad experiences where the beans are too oily or something is off that messes with my usually grind size/extraction time. No issues with Oslo's beans. 2. They actually know how to make a proper americano. Every coffee shop takes a standard cup, puts in the espresso shot, and then fills hot water to the brim of the cup. This destroys the flavor of the espresso. You end up with hot water that tastes slightly like coffee. Oslo chooses quality over quantity. They don't fill the water up to the brim, so you have a cup with 2/3 of liquid; however, this is a proper americano. You can taste the difference. At other shops, I just get drip coffee because they don't know what they're doing. Oslo knows what they're doing. That's why I come here.

Unfortunately, it was totally bland and not large at all. The side sauce added nothing and over 30$ with tax/tip. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta and the guazzetto di Pesci. The pasta was good. Reasonable amount of pasta but we would have liked some more chunks of lobster for the price. I thought the sauce was only ok but my girlfriend liked it. The guazzetto di Pesci was only fair. The sauce was lacking flavor. Also a very small bowl of broth with maybe 3 small shrimp and muscles, a few small chunks of fish. and two sad, tiny pieces of bread on the side. Since we were still quite hungry after the meal, we ordered the lotus chocolate caramel dessert. This was the only dish we really liked. kinda hard to mess up gelato though. It came with a hard outer candy shell and a very small cookie center that was sweet and delicious. Overall, an average meal at best that we both felt was lacking in taste and size. Won't return.

They did bring out complimentary bread, which was appreciated, though it felt like something that should be standard rather than a highlight. One item someone in our group wanted -- the octopus burger -- was unfortunately unavailable, which was disappointing, especially given that it was brunch and still relatively early in the day. That said, the dishes we did order were good and well prepared. The space itself is nice: the front functions as a cute coffee shop, while the back has tables for sit-down dining. Because of that setup, the vibe feels more casual, but the menu offers solid options. Overall, it was a good experience, just not a great one -- a decent brunch spot, but nothing that blew us away.
