    Ate here today for brunch while working as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 234 Q. I had only brought the sweet cookie with iced tea. It had tasted good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and pleasant. The ambiance was definitely quiet. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.

    Great coffee, and I'm glad this local business still exists. It used to be called Astoria coffee but when the lease ended, the owner was going to close down the business. One of the baristas that worked there (didn't catch their name, sorry!) took it as an opportunity to actualize their dream of owning a cafe and took over the space and renamed it to Olive Coffee. Tastefully decorated inside, with an assortment of pastries and coffees prepared in different ways. I didn't love the croissant, I found it too dry and not buttery or flaky. The other baked goods look good though and I'll try one of them next time. It's also a nice spot to sit and read for a bit or do some work as it isn't noisy or overly busy on weekend mornings. It's a neighborhood gem, I'm glad this exists, support your local small businesses!

    I had been waiting for this place to open and they finally did!! I went in to grab a cup of coffee in the morning but I definitely have to go back to sit in because it was so cute inside!! It was so clean and they had these olive colored walls with nice paintings. They also have some seatings where I saw some people doing work and some people just chatting with their friends. It just seemed like a perfect spot to make it an everyday go to place!!! I got a lavender vanilla latte from the seasonal menu and it was SO DELICIOUS. I got it decaf and I didn't taste the decaf-ness at all. And the lavender flavor just hit me so nicely. I finished it before I got to work... It showed that they care a lot about the coffee and their drinks' quality. I would definitely go back again and try their other stuff!

    Amazing coffee and ambiance. They use sustainable coffee beans and have very soothing live music from time to time. The seasonal orange brown sugar latte is great - I asked for it less sweet

    Love all the plants!

    Our barista, Emily, was amazing! Great little coffee shop. Calm vibes perfect for reading a book or working on your laptop. Don't expect loud raucous coffee environment common in Manhattan. The natural lighting is wonderful and the clean bathroom is a plus. The coffee is solid, not too strong or weak. They have interesting seasonal flavors and pastries like croissants and pain au chocolat. Nothing wrong with Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, but small businesses like Olive Coffee keep Astoria interesting!

    The coffee here is fabulous! Got a small iced lavender latte with oat milk and it was by far one of the best lattes I've had in NY in a while. The latte was creamy and the lavender flavor was strong just the way I like it. Total was $7 which is a bit steep but well worth the quality. A must try!

    This place is awesome!! Cookies were excellent (chocolate chip & London fog), coffee & tea was awesome (iced coffee with vanilla & iced tea) and the owners are really nice! Such a cute spot too, with lots of places to sit and big windows.

    Cozy and comfortable place for great coffee. Service is on par, and the pastry is fresh for a quick snack. Will be back soon...

    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.

    Place looks nice, service was good but unfortunately, food was fair. Started with the burrata…read more Visually appealing and looked like a large portion with all of the accoutrements. 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.

    We came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon as a group of six. Overall, the food was pretty…read moregood and the service was fine, but both the service and food were noticeably slow. 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.
