Douglas Ramsden

Coffee is the best, second only to the friendly and helpful staff.

Nice staff, great architecture. Though the coffee was improperly brewed, and we found their own beans selling cheaper at other stores. Found that strange

Kaal Letawske

Great iced coffee ,I had a triple large americana

Zoe Laisnez

Best coffee I had in Canada.

Luke Robson

This place absolutely deserves and justifies it's high rating - I had a sensational flat white along with a freshly baked lemon and blackberry muffin that disappeared in record time. The setting was great and even though they were busy, they had the staff to keep the line moving. Get amongst it ☕

Darian Meunier

Incredible garden patio, coffee was amazing

Chris Carlson

Yummy coffeeThanks

Shawna Linn

Had a tasty breakfast sandwich (with added back bacon), croissant (great butter flavor) and an americano here before hiking. Prices are quite reasonable able for the quality of the food and coffee. I like that they’re open relatively early!

M e

Well, always love going here...a little less of the experience with covid 19, but still able to be in the beautiful gardens to enjoy our coffee????

Nick Marchant

Always coming back, best coffee, nice local people

SUSAN OSBAK

Great coffee and pretty healthy snacks. Gluten free options for those who need them. Great garden if you'd like to sit outside. This is the only coffee shop I go to in Nelson.

Scott Fletcher

Amazing local coffee place with friendly staff and an impressive selection of locally roasted, mostly organic beans. Fancy custom wrought iron and wood interior and large outside patio achieves the perfect balance between seating needs and the cozy coffee-nook atmosphere essential to the rainy-day Nelson cafe experience.

Carl Choinowski

Lovely atmosphere and clearly where all the locals hangout. Amazing selection of baked goods including many gluten-free options. Cozy place to hang out or get an hours work done but most people are meeting with friends and chatting in this friendly cafe. If you are Nelson, you'll want to check out this place to get a feel for this town!

Mikołaj Kocot

Consistently great coffee and tasty house made food. The nitro is perfect for the hot summer days. Garden patio is sublime.

Richard Lyall

Always delicious, always busy, lots of seating.

Adam Dickinson

Very funky little coffee shop. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Nelson

Michelle Sylvest

Great place for coffee and chill zone

Airline Lush

Trendy and popular spot for many locals. Busy place that had a line both times I was there. Known for their specially roasted coffee which can be purchased for home use. Eclectic crowd.

Melanie Levesque

Awesome dark roast. Perfect place to hang out during a rainy day. Friendly staff too.

LAZER HAWK

They're considered the best in the region for a reason. Nothing I've ever had from here was ever sub-par. Hungry, thirsty, wanting a treat, or to relax with a friend, this place has something for you. Amazing staff, and always clean! I'll be coming back here every time I'm in the area.

Mat Kava

Lineups so long it takes 20min to get to the counter, then another 30 waiting for your meh food, just to find not a single place to sit. Great hot chocolate though.

Jeremy Williams

Awesome coffee

Dag Holmberg

Great coffee, even greater breakfast sandwich.

Anna H.

You need to try the smoked salmon bagel. 10/10- would recommend!

Officer Linguine

A favorite of my family. They offer unique blends of coffee to drink and to buy the beans aswell. Amazing and beautiful scenery when sitting on their outdoor patio. Definitely worth stopping buy if anywhere near by.

Sean Ryan

Food was awesome, coffee was awesome, what else do you need?

Robert Manahan

A legitimate cornerstone of the downtown Nelson experience. Are you experienced?

Alex Labreque

What a gem. I'd say a hidden gem, but it's always slammed. Despite being so busy they are quick quick quick. Great breakfast sandwich. Unreal coffee.

Dirk Jonker

Amazing place. We bought some coffee and enjoyed the smell in the car for days. Beautiful outdoor seating area and yummy food. Love it.

Pat Guindon

Daniel San

awesome coffee, kids are welcome

M H

One of the best cafes I had been to. The coffee is great and the environment and decor is even better. Awesome experience everytime.

Autumn

I thought the coffee was delicious the staff was another storey, they tried to hide it but it was obvious they did not want to serve me, no smiles, no eye contact, head down when spoken to. So basically not a sincere crowd and only are "inviting" to their own kind-customer service needs to be re-vamped.

Mandy W

Excellent coffee. Well worth the wait. But be prepared to wait if you want to sit down. They are busy!

sebastian martin

Excellent coffee. Private, spaced outdoor seating. Laid back vibe!

TI Ibrahim

Great coffee, food and atmosphere. We always bring home a few pounds of beans after visiting Nelson.

K Kealey

Good coffee and very cute outdoor patio. Was pretty busy but it is a long weekend. They sell their own coffee. Yummy cinnamon bun.

Hands down the best hot chocolate my wife and I have ever had!!! We were in Nelson for 5 days, skied 3, and went to Oso for hot chocolate 4 times (unfortunately one of the days they closed before we got there).

Marilyn Cox

Very comfortable atmosphere

Chris Demler

Amazing coffee, food, and atmosphere!

Spencer Cox

Omg best coffee ever!!!!!!

Meghan Klein

Have been ordering Princess of Darkness blend for years and it is still as delicious as the first time I had a sip. My cousins live in nearby Kelowna and gave me a bag as a gift. I've been hooked ever since and have the beans shipped to me in Alberta.

Way Allen

The Donald Trump of coffee shops it supplies 75% to 80% of the coffee shops in Nelson and is the busiest coffee shop in Nelson making the owner rich but he doesn't do nothing to help the poor John Ward's coffee shop and Waits news have a suspended coffee fund to help the poor to get a cup of coffee but not at Donald Trump coffee

Rohit Virmani

Beautiful trendy coffee joint with lively outdoor garden seating. Locally made and brewed coffee along with a tasty variety of good eats.

Enon Shatzki

Great coffee and delicious treats.

Al Anthony (Tereall Consulting)

Jeff Mochoruk

Beautiful venue and garden. I expected a bit more from the coffee though.

Brian Buchanan

Yummy

Joz Barendregt

Best place for the coffee lovers. They go the extra mile by letting you tell them how much water and milk you want in your coffee.

James Wilson

Love it

Wendy and Richard Hugli

Makers of fine coffee sold in many establishments locally. They have a cozy cafe with several outdoor seating areas, plants and a fountain. There is also a good food selection for lunches featuring many vegetarian options. Ordering is done at the counter.

Pete

Best Coffee I've ever had

Charles Outhwaite

Has great service, healthy options, and fresh coffee!

Rupert Funnyhat

Best coffee in town

Amrita Ahuja

Some of the best coffee I've ever tasted. They roast their own beans and have a huge variety that you can purchase for home use. There's monthly rotation of art on the wall, and local pottery for sale. And the garden terrace is a horticultural wonder with amazing views of the mountains. Oh yeah, and the price level for the great quality is amazing and generous.

James Beckmann

Awesome cafe with delicious coffee. Really cool vibe inside and out - no WiFi though.

S Dedic

Probably the best know coffee shop in town. The outside is a great place to sit in good weather, amazingly well landscaped

Erik Bernardes

Yummy muffins and pastry

Monique Esposito Photography

OH BABY! Now I may just have had the finest coffee in my life. We also had breakfast buns which were so beautifully presented. They were very good. Prices here are good. Service is excellent and friendly, which must be part of Oso's culture because it was busy. The line moves fast and there is plenty of seating. Bravo Oso people! Bravo!

Benjamin Whitton

Historical busy centre. Killer pannini. Hot chocolate. Yum

Michaela Munn

Love the uniqueness and how it is locally roasted. The staff are friendly and the seating area is very nice and outdoorsy. The food is great and the coffee is good. It is a little confusing about where to pick up though. Somethings pick up is outside and others it’s inside….

Jody Ferguson

Best coffee in Western Canada

Nadia Davis

One of my favourite coffee shops. Always stop in when I travel through Nelson. Hard to find a dark roast as full bodied as the one that they roast. The space is amazing as well.

Skyler Reis

Fav, love their Thai Salad.

Ultipromo com

One of two places I've found in Canada that serve a top notch espresso every single time. Don't be afraid of the lineup at busy times: it moves fast, so you won't be waiting long. These people really know what they're doing.

Sean Pollock

Delicious baked goods!

Miriam Skelton

It was a most wonderful experience enjoying a delicious Cafe Mocha at this beautiful place!

Evan Bull

Good food and coffee.

Chris Hillary

Nothing better than a breakfast bun and fresh coffee!

io G T

Friendly staff and great hours for those who have irregular schedules. I really appreciate that.

Karen LifeJourney

Great coffee. Delicious desserts. Beautiful place indoors and outside.

Amber Rose

We waited 40 minutes for 2 breakfast sandwiches both were the wrong order even though order was written on sticky note attached to them. They were not very good. Coffee is great. I think Oso is riding on their reputation and has become complacent. 0 for service & Food quality. Time to re-evaluate!!

Winnie Lau

Great ambience and staff were very helpful when choosing the right beans to buy.

Laird McGillivray

Good morning beautiful world

Darren Hepple

A good coffee & the breakfast cookie was nice. Too late to order the infamous Breakfast Sandwich. Another time.

Janice Pearson

When ever we come to Nelson this is our first stop and only place we get our morning coffee and breakfast. Coffee is always great, food is so fresh and best outdoor patio I have ever seen. Absolutely recommend

Brian

Excellent coffee, great staff and an awesome garden area to sit and chat.

Michael Levy

Good latte and breakfast bun, however it felt overcrowded with the lineup going outside the coffee shop.

Akash Majumder

Very amazing corner and great ambience.. definitely worth checking out

Emily McClelland

Great coffee, bad service. Clearly overwhelmed staff. I ordered for the whole family and he said “so many coffees and only two cookies”!? Clearly with a tone to make us feel bad about our order. Please go somewhere else...

Di McMullin

Great coffee. Friendly staff

Hugh Lindsay

It’s unfortunate that so much effort is put into roasting beans but so little effort the actual coffee making process. Baristas are remiss in pouring espresso shots and steaming milk, food is OK. Overall it’s a 3 star shop that luckily for itself snuck in as an institution within the community if Nelson.

Happy Hiker

This is not just a coffee shop, this is a place you must experience. The garden is so serene. There is such a peaceful feeling the moment one walks up the unique steps. The coffee is great, the food is delicious. This place holds a piece of my heart.

Rolando Ramirez

Awesome coffee and customer service. Ask for Steve.

PePe Amengual

Oso has some of the best espresso in BC!

Chris Calon

This is coffee is so delicious that I don't even need creamer to drink it. My boyfriend and I live in the states so we have to buy it while we can when we visit Nelson. They have such a wide variety of coffee (beans and ground), including a low-acid blend!

John Connor

Very busy, for good reason. Don't worry, the line moves fast.

Pierre Rainville

Best coffee in the West!

I-Ho Wei

I had bacon breakfast bun, it’s so fresh and tasty! Friends, if you drink decaf coffee, they have decaf latte, so good, I love it.

Bruce Morrison

Best coffee shop ever. So beautiful, yummy coffee, awesome staff.

Alexis Okabe

The delicious coffee is roasted in Nelson and sourced from certified organic and fair trade cultivators. It is a great people watching spot as you get to see the full spectrum of Nelson. They offer a variety of in house and locally made sweet and savoury treats catering to various dietary preferences. They have a reputation for being a great employer providing benefits to staff, living wages, footwear allowances etc. Even when the line up is out the door (which it often is) the service is friendly and fast.

David Cheatley

I don't want to penalize an establishment based on it's massive success to I'll speak to that at the end. Positives: 1. Amazing location - The building, garden patio, artwork, everything is stunning and you find yourself looking at every little detail they've built into their establishment. 2. The Coffee - Some of the best drip coffee I've ever had. 3. The Breakfast Buns - DELICIOUS no matter what to add to it. Negatives?: (I say this in jest) 1. Busy - Line-up was out the door ~15 minutes just to order and we thought we were there before the breakfast rush. Another ~18 minutes before we received our breakfast. There's also no good standing spots while you wait for your order. 2. Related to being busy, staff was polite but not engaging I suppose they were just trying to pump through the line.

Geoff Methuen

Great coffee, and yummy well priced food.

Christoph

Best coffee ever. Treats are tasty. Staff is friendly. I think it's reasonably priced for high quality coffee and treats.

Justin Faubert

Very nice little coffee shop, unfortunately due to covid, they are only doing take out. Coffee was really good.

Linda Graham

Good tables for artists with a lively atmosphere and amazing coffee, tasty snacks. Service can be a bit slow so plan your time accordingly.

Kym Simard

My favorite Nelson Café

Wendi Laing

This place is great, good coffee at a good price and distance seating so you can still enjoy the cafe experience during COVID. I do wish they had more vegan snack and food options though. Maybe next time...

Robyn Verhoeven

The quintessential Nelson coffee experience. Best beans hands down. The outdoor seating area is delightful.

What is there to say about this place? It's the best coffee shop in BC, so pop in and enjoy!

Terence H

Best coffee ☕ ever

Harrison Sheremeta

Frank Case

Sloshed coffee on my hand trying to put the stupid lid on. The barista was more interested in wiping up the mess I made instead of the steaming coffee on my hand. Noticed a sink on my way out and was able to get some cold water on the burn. Coffee was ok. My first experience will probably be my last.

K. Hushagen

One of my favourite coffee destinations!

Renold. Morrison

Great atmosphere, great service, food is super varied for every diet, and the coffee was fantastic. The locals recommend it so you know it's the place to go!

Jane Walker

Amazing coffee. Their smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel is great. Good atmosphere and fast service.

Jason Babakaiff

This is Nelson's original coffee shop. It's obvious from the quality of the coffee that staff are well trained Baristas and care about their work. Further to that the staff is backed up by coffee a connoisseur that provides excellent ethically sourced beans for every cup! Not to mention delicious sandwiches muffins and baked goods. The Garden space outside is a delight with an amazing selection of plants and water features. If you stop in Nelson a visit to Oso is a must!

David Labute

Super delicious coffee and a comfortable and groovy vibe.

Bijil Babu

Delicious nitro cold brew and great baked goods!

Max Barr

Great coffee and staff. I love the garden area in the summer. Not so many options out of sugary snack. Soups are the est to go on colder days. They are really friendly to accomodate zero waste. Feel free to bring your cup, bee wrap and or containers. Thank you for supporting less waste.

Melanie Mobbs

The most beautiful cafe and garden. Not to mention awesome coffee!

Alex P

Wonderful atmosphere. Coffee and treats were great.

Best coffee in Kootenays super nice people!

Alan Bunyan

This coffee shop is so cute! Really lovely set up, very clean and cute and creates an amazing vibe. Staff are super friendly and the food is amazing!

A B

I asked for a traditional cappuccino. They asked if that meant 10oz. Trouble. I said a trad cap is 5oz. They settled on an 8 oz cup since 5oz didn't seem possible for them. They then asked if it should be a double or a single sort. Normally it would be 1oz espresso, but since they were gonna serve it in an 8oz cup, I opted for a double shot. What I ended up getting was about 4 oz of bitter over-extracted espresso. It's not a bad roast, they just didn't pull it well. The milk was properly frothed though (for a dry cap) and tasted nice. Cute place. They must have good food to have this high a rating because their espresso pulls leave much to be desired.

Riley Parks

Delicious breakfast buns

mark edwards

Great ppl and great coffee

Nick Malk

Beautiful building, wonderful garden in the summertime, great coffee, and a nice selection of food, snacks, and treats. Service is quick and the place is warm in the winter. One con can be that this place is quite busy most of the time, but that's because it's such a popular spot!

Lori

Love the outdoor patio here. Skillfully constructed using Japanese gardening techniques with beautiful iron and wood work. Great coffee and tasty snacks:)

Erin Postlethwaite

Great coffee and food. Don't be afraid of the line, they are really efficient and get things out quickly.

Tiim J

I still have dreams about the big dark coffee and egg sandwich I had there a 15 years ago... it was that warm and comforting after a week up the mountain camping.

Jonathan Smith

This is a must stop for Nelson! Every time I come through I stop and pick up a couple bags of beans to keep in the freezer. The food is good, but the coffee is better. Get a dandelion Latte and sit on the unique, photo worthy patio.

Heather Woodward

Great coffee but I really loved their architecture! The space is awesome!!

ben west

The people, the atmosphere, the service, the coffee, the food will keep you coming back.

Cassandra Z

Great local coffee shop we fell in love with on a trip to Nelson this past summer. We bought their fresh beans and have been addicted ever since, so much so that we continue to order their beans to be delivered to Toronto. Seriously nothing compares to the freshness and quality. Their customer service is also awesome. Love supporting small local businesses. Nothing but positive things to say about this place.

Nathan Comstock

Great Local coffee place. Good eats

R. D. Colton West

Absolutely incredible

Jamie Hoskins

While living in Nelson I always bought a medium to-go drip light roast for $2.25. Also the breakfast buns served in the morning are delicious for $5.50 with added pemeal bacon This place is beautiful in the warmer seasons with a nice patio area in the front and also at the side of Oso. Buying their brand of coffee was easy and good for my french press. Good music and friendly staff. Owner is stuffy though. Overall best caffe in Nelson. Reasonable prices for Nelson

No Names

Decent. Friendly and good place to bring little ones in town.

Dani Birtwistle

Cosy and so good coffe!

K&A C.

Pioneers in original coffee shops, coffee done right

Marisei Levert

This place has great coffee and breakfast sandwiches but don't expect to get in and out any time soon ! Waited 35 min to get a breakfast sandwich and Finlay had to leave and get a refund! Was not a great experience

Craig Couche

Went on a brewery to or and got to sample beer afterwards!

Greg Young

Best mocha I have ever had. Definately a must visit if you are in Nelson!

Tim Austin

I always love coming to Oso, the ambience is great, and during the summer they have tons of outdoor seating in their beautiful garden. They also have a great variety of snacks available for many different dietary needs. The coffee is delicious and roasted locally, though darker than some people may be used to.

Lenka

Good coffee and price too.

Genevieve Johner

Beautiful cafe. Very cozy. Amazing design. Lots of options for people with dietary restrictions! The latte with almond milk was astounding. Kids, pets, adults, and youth were all present while I sipped my coffee. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Nelson! :)

Stephen Potter

Always exceptional coffee. Gardens looking wonderful.

Shelley Mack

Best coffee EVER. Try the PRINCE OF DARKNESS!! It won't disappoint. No. Seriously. It is the best STRONG coffee ever!

K Vlad

I love this place for the quality food and coffee, the really amazing staff, and of course the gorgeous ambience. I can't go to Nelson and not stop here!

Mark Walle

Cozy place to rest a bit, and get back with the energy to enjoy this paradise

Nick Harris

I think this place may be a victim of its own popularity... coffee was weak; didn’t offer to grill a sandwich that definitely needed grilling, then (not unreasonably I guess) wouldn’t grill it after I’d taken a nibble; long lines. I think it’s a good, stylish place, but needs to be careful to keep up standards. EDIT: to be fair, the ungrilled sandwich was still really good; and the muffin was really good too. Moved to 4*.

Gordon Swetlishoff

Super nice location!

Mike Irvine

A Nelson must! An iconic coffee shop with friendly staff, great coffee and beautiful environment. The architectural detail and garden patio takes your experience to another level.

Keith Finnie

Aidan Metzler

Amazing. Coffee in the garden is worth the drive from Saskatchewan alone.

Tazim Damji

Delicious coffee! So many seating areas to relax and enjoy your coffee and snacks. They have vegan and vegetarian options for food and pastries! I love their outdoor sitting area - lots of plants and birds. Bring your own mug or cup-if you have take out they'll charge you 25 cents.

Bill Lander

Awesome coffee and atmosphere! Art is cool too.

Katie Berry

Best place for coffee and breakfast in Nelson. Delicious food, friendly service, great atmosphere with changing art displays

Rob Purgavie

Beautiful place!

Amanda Doki

Cosy interior, with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a decent selection of coffee to buy and have ground here. The menu is easy to read and everything is decently priced. There are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and wheat free options in their pantry case, and several non-dairy milk options for beverages. One negative might be that they don't seem to have a POS machine, and orders are taken on paper and counted with a calculator. This may cause transactions to be slower than expected. All in all a nice cafe I would frequent if I lived here.

Nick Soden

It is good here. Customer service is excellent. Keep in mind that the drinks here are not like Starbucks at all. So if you are expecting a caramel macchiato, they don't have it but similar to it. If someone reads this and this is an incorrect statement, please correct me. Their Mocha, is fantastic!

Jamie Hide

Nice atmosphere for having a cup of coffee or a snack.

Marisa Varley

A bit loud but a nice place. The patio is great but it's closed due to the weather. The chairs are not comfortable.

Tom Moffatt

I had never been hear and decided to agree to be taken for casual conversation with my father. It didn't really live up to the hype as I couldn't even order a drink I would typically get when I ever do go to a cafe. The atmosphere was really awesome though! I wasn't completely disappointed but I also wasn't completely satisfied.

Allan Piercy

A wonderful coffee shop with very good coffee. Service is really good & fast.

Tracy Michaela Daniel

Really fantastic coffee. Speckled Sky is my personal favourite. Order an iced chai latte and it'll come with coffee ice cubes!

R Whe

Best coffee in the koots

I.M. Gadget

Some of my favorite coffee's.

David Reid

I have ordered beans online a couple times. I'm blown away with how kind the staff are and how fast my order ships. I order a few bags at a time and they always give me a wee discount without asking. The coffee speaks for itself. By far my favorite bean.

Michael Boroditsky

Beautiful place to stop and have a cup

Brian McIntyre (Hatchi)

Best coffee spot in Nelson.

Superb coffee. I live in Kelowna and buy their decaf coffee beans from Abaco health store. Better than Starbucks beans and a bit cheaper too !

justin kuiack

Exceptional espresso drinks and an interesting vibe make this a "must visit" in Nelson.

Brendan o'brendan

Really good coffee and one of Nelson's biggest hangout places. Really nice in the summer time when all the flowers are out..

EV

Great place but it gets busy being so popular

Barbie Wheaton

Fantastic garden! Really enjoyed the cold brew and nitro chai! All for a very fair price

Gene Teichroeb

Very entitled, snotty attitude from male Barrista. Limited 2 option menu. No seating option. No idea why this place is highly rated. Don't bother.

Chaminda J.

Due to the COVID-19 safety protocols, you can expect a bit of lineup to order and pick-up your beverages. There are some outside seating available however generally it is busy. Good selection of breakfast items and coffees to order.

Joseph

A great garden to sit and have coffee and a treat in.

Mack Clayton

Best patio in Nelson, great coffee and yummy snacks.

Awesome coffee and atmosphere.

Salena Gao

Not sure if I need to review this since it has great reviews already but the service here was spectacular, the food was amazing (we had breakfast), and I loved the wooden interiors. We unfortunately did not enjoy the coffee beans we got as much as we thought we would but the cafe itself is a must go for visitors.

David Barlow

The ice coffee smooth brew is a cup of caffeine laced magic.

Redneck Asian

This is what Starbucks thinks they are. The best coffee I've had in a long time. The atmosphere is awesome and the building is beautiful. A little off the main drag but worth the time. Plus they one upped the Americano with the Canadiano which was mind blowing for me!

Melissa Olsen

Best Coffee place in BC. Taste can't be beat. Healthy food and baked goods. Friendly staff. I loved it!!

Joelle Axline

Amazing coffe and really cool place to chill.

Kelly St. John

Good vibes, good coffee

Jacob Taylor

Nice place to get a coffee if your exploring nelson for the day

Maria N

I wanted to love this place so much. It is so cute and seems to be so so popular. Unfortunately the coffee/cappuccino was some of the worst we’ve ever had…the coffee was incredibly weak and the milk and foam honestly horrendous…sorry to say this, but the girls behind the counter were super friendly but knew literally nothing about coffee. Anyways, if you’re looking for a beautiful little spot, definitely check it out. If you’re looking to enjoy a great coffee, skip…there are so many other great coffee shops in Nelson.

Leanne G

Awesome spot must see if you’re visiting.

T M

Great coffee, great food, great people

Luke Mahaney

Fabulous coffee when I was there + friendly staff with nice smiles. Nice garden to sit and enjoy your coffee, sandwich, etc. Give it a try.

A bit on the burnt taste coffee. Not a bad thing just a style to be aware of. They care about the coffee and people.

Black Velvet Cabo

Amazing coffee and a great local business to support. As a local favourite it gets pretty busy but it's worth the wait. The outdoor patio is absolutely beautiful. Always my go to place for coffee when I visit Nelson.

Amanda Stevens

Best coffee in town

Martynas Gruodis

Awesome and very popular place. They serve really dark coffee if you like it, which is not my favorite.

Joe LeBlanc

Go for a great coffee, stay for all the beautiful people! Oso is an original. It hasn't taken any theme or ideas from anyone, but makes you realize how it's done right.

Colton MacRae

The best coffee and best breakfast sandwich! Highly recommend checking it out for coffee in Nelson.

Galen Reilly

One of the best coffees ive had

Robert Robinson

Barry C

The most reasonable prices ive seen in nelson (along with the civic theatre), great service and quality food and drinks.

Stephen Hunter

Great place. Vibe is really good. Variety of coffee is great and everything is delicious. The staff is really nice and the place is very comfortable.

Matthew Godfrey

Staff and coffee best in Nelson

yvonne mcclelland

No where else to get coffee. A must place to hang out

Luke Crawford

This is my favourite café in Canada. No contest. The coffee is excellent, the staff are friendly and provide the best customer service in the Kootenays, the patio is spectacular and the views of the valley are magical. Get a breakfast sandwich, coffee and maybe a little something sweet then chill out for the morning. You’ll love it too.

Doug Yip

Stopped in for morning coffee both days. This place is awesome. Delicious coffee, nice setting - but the outdoor patio is amazing. You have to stop here if you're in Nelson.

Kevin MCKERNAN

After living in Nelson for 20 years, I had to move back to the coast to be with family. So great that I can order 10lbs of my favorite coffee, and its roasted, packaged and shipped the same day, and I get it the next day in North Vancouver. Love Dark Roast, love you guys. Thanks

K mcc

One of our go to spots in Nelson for a fantastic cup of coffee and healthy, tasty snack amid a lively social atmosphere during the winter months. During the Spring to Autumn on pleasant days, the ambience of the outdoor garden/arboretum is amazing. The staff are always welcomeing, friendly and efficient.

Ed Wall

Excellent coffee and unique garden sitting area.

Maharsi Bodhi

Great coffee, food and friendly service. A well known place in Nelson!

Ntenis Lilas

The only negative I can give it is the price. Other than that it was absolutely amazing.

MrHubb1

Excellent coffee

Mihai Voicu

A must stop on any trip to Nelson! The coffee and breakfast buns are delicious! They have a lot of nice milk options for anyone who is lactose intolerant like myself! The only downside to this beautiful place is the lines, but if you go early in the morning you should be fine! Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

Paula Remple

It’s hard to imagine there is a more beautiful coffee shop in the world, so it is always a treat to stop by when we are in the Kootenay’s and have coffee and great eats in a garden that totally fills the soul. Our last visit the owner was there and was so kind to stop and chat about the history, architecture and garden. It’s one thing to serve great coffee, but to create and take such joy in sharing this with others takes this to a whole different level!

Conor Rutledge

Great atmosphere and delicious locally roasted coffee. A Nelson must!

Brian Eastcott

Great coffee food and atmosphere, both inside and outside on the patio.

juju h

Awesome as usual! Great place!

Geoff Bannoff

Great coffee, food, service reasonably priced

Mike TwentyOne

Great outdoorsitting areas to enjoy the awesome coffee & food.

Brett Davis

Amazing coffee and breakfast sandwiches plant and uplift environment. Clean and pretty cool patio.

A SL

Zero Stars - Management Epic Fail!! I'm having trouble wrapping my head around a coffee shop... that serves muffins... and can't heat them. What did they think the point was? I didn't even get to find out if there was butter available. Oso, it's 2021, almost 2022. Microwaves are not evil. They are not witchcraft. They are a simple tool for a healthy business. That fact that you can't heat a muffin in your store undermines my confidence in you and your credibility. The coffee shop market in Nelson is too competitive for you not to heat muffins (and have butter for them).

N Tran

Great food and coffee. Nice cozy atmosphere. Free wifi

Cathy Corbin

I saw coffee here

oye alfonso

Almost a cult like following for coffee lovers. You either love their roasts or not. I personally love them. Strong, delicious and rich blends. The cafe is a bit of a landmark when visiting Nelson as many of my friends love to go their while visiting Nelson. The morning can be busy during peak times. Never fear - Oso has a stellar team that keeps the line moving and gets your hot bevy into your hands quickly. And if you like checking out art they have a different artist featured every month.

Samantha H

Nelson's orignal iconic coffee shop. They set the bar for the Kootenays.... excellent coffee and alternatives, quality snacks. Very well run local institution, don't be deterred by the line up, service is amazingly swift!

G.R. Crosby

Fabulous coffee. Great prices. Friendly staff. A triple threat! And the best mocha in the West Kootenays.

Jesse Davis

Amazing place

Shawn Denny

Terrific coffee! Always worth a visit.

Kallisons BC

Such a great coffee shop, the baked goods are awesome! Breakfast sandwiches are my fav!

David Mulholland

Calm and peacfull place along with good bakery product choices and paintings too

Colin Sherlow

OMG. I think this is most gorgeous coffee shop I've ever been in. In two previous visits I never discovered this local favourite. (Guess I should be keeping it quiet?)

Gabe Schieven

Best coffee in nelson Also a honey pot they keep over a small flame so it pours faster and one can add as much honey as they need. They also whip up your americano pretty quick. Metalwork by local artist from Kootenay School of Art a couple blocks away.

Angela Pasutti

Beautiful place, good coffee, seem very popular with locals/ turists

Michele Carver

Pretty good. Cool place, clean, good vibe. Nice spot.

Shawn McGregor

Best coffee in Nelson!

Pat John Kulawik

Great coffee outrageous prices. I am a local to the area and can barely afford this place...for the price they should be using an eco friendly (Loring) roaster and at least sealing the bags of coffee but alas they are just in it for the profits so what do you expect.

T D

Delicious cookie and coffee

John Hastings

Too noisy for me, but great people.

Couldn't say enough good things. The coffee is superb and the line ups move quickly because of their capable staff.

I was just telling my kids this is likely the best coffee shop I have ever been to. It is a fantastic setting, fair prices, efficient and friendly staff and plenty of food/drink options. Two thumbs up to the owner!

Russ Fuhr

I love the atmosphere of this cafe. Great service and delicious coffee!

Kelly Douglass

Nice gardens with a water feature. Very relaxing and good coffee

Alnoor

Everything is right about this place. Must sit in the courtyard as it is amazing and very relaxing. Everything is tasty and we went there several times to this place. Very good value. The owner knows what he he doing and I just wish more coffee shops were being operated like this one. Too bad it's not in my city where I live.

reinhard rupprecht

Nice

Best breakfast sandwich and mocha. Love the atmosphere. There is usually a lineup, but it moves along quickly.

raymond glenn

This coffee shop has a really nice patio!

Alan L

Great coffee and service

Susan B.

One of the best patios in the province, exceptional attention to detail.

Brittany Marshall

Best coffee shop in the west.

Kirsten Dunsford

I was amazed to find such good coffee in middle of nowhere BC, service was also excellent! In fact it puts many of the coffee places in lower mainland to shame. I would give it 5 stars but what's with the cheap tacky coffee mug? Different beer goes with different glass, it further the drinking experience. You have such beautiful coffee, I can taste the heart you put into it, then you serve it in a mug that only thrift stores would carry. I love you guys but this is like a beautiful women that wears some crappy moo moo.

John Macdonald

Great place for coffee and lunch, outdoor seating is the best I've ever experienced in a coffee shop, very quick and friendly service

Longstanding quality with quirk and quark

Great coffee limited seating.

Orrick Killen

Lovely atmosphere and great staff

Always a great atmosphere and warm inviting staff. Favourite Nelson coffee shop.

David Moriarty-Schieven

Sadly, their hot chocolate is made from chocolate milk. So the mochas and hot chocolates are mediocre. Their coffees are wonderful though.

ryan c

The biggest plus point is the ample space for customers to sit and peacefully engage in their activities.

Rob

Very good mochas, excellent atomsphere and cool outdoor sitting area, love it

Aaron Quayle

Coffee and service is great as well as the food especially the breakfast sandwich! My fave!

Peter Muras

Nice local roaster that is understandably busy. Line up was out the door in the morning so be prepared to have a leisurely wait. Not a show-stopper, but a good heads up for anyone in a hurry. Great patio outside. When you ask for a double shot of espresso, ask yourself if you are prepared for liftoff - she’s strong!! (Do you guys add anything to the coffee??)

rebecca mccandless

Nothing in my.opinion to special coffee wasnt anything special and the breakfast bun was ok

Ivy Mitch

Pretty good coffee prepared by very good baristas. The breakfast sandwich is also delicious.

Michael Vlanich

A must see when in Nelson BC. Great coffee experience.

To me, this place didn't live up to the hype

Brittny Anderson

Wonderful locally owned and operated business. The coffee is strong and the food is tasty.

Jakob Flemming

Unique coffee and garden

Roxanna Ferguson

Unfortunately my review has changed. I haven't had a good tasting non-dairy tea latte (I don't drink coffee) here for a long time. I can't even remember if I ever have. I quite like the atmosphere especially in the summertime. But until they improve I'd rather go to where I know I can get a better tasting drink.

Laurel Lay

A staple coffee shop. I love dark roasts, but if you’re more into light roast coffee this may not be your place.

Hailey Damer

Without a doubt one of my favorite places to spend an hour or two drinking coffee with a friend. Great coffee, fantastic atmosphere, highly recommended.

Had the Nitro Cold Brew, which was divine. Indoor seating was comfortable and spacious. Worked there for a bit and it was fine. Not too crowded. Outside garden is absolutely delightful. Only had benches, but would be great for coffee chats.

Marco Cazares

Coffee so good I visited this place twice on my 24 hours in Nelson. Both indoor and outdoor seating areas are beautiful, the quality of coffee is high, and the biscotti is to die for! The staff seemed friendly. Would definitely go back!

Amy

Beautiful place. Nice place for vegans. Coffee was good and ambiance was beautiful.

Dave Martinuk

Cozy atmosphere. Strong coffee.

Nathan Wheaton

The place for coffee and cakes in Nelson. Off the main street but only 2 blocks up. You can sit inside or outside in their garden. They seem their own coffee beans too.

Sarah Holowaty

Coffee. Good coffee and treats.

Leslie Sharp

Unbeatable coffee!!☕???? Very busy place lots of seating indoors and beautiful outdoor seating area. We had Almond Milk Cold Brew and Iced Oat Milk Latte both were excellent. The Gluten Free Banana Bread was unfortunately very dry and could have been served with some butter.

Clinton Rezeki

Best coffee shop in nelson ❤

Brian roy

A very beautiful Cafe with an amazing garden. If you are in Nelson, make a stop here! ????

Stuart

Updated, August 2020. Likely the best overall coffee place in town. Besides the great drinks, their food is tasty and efficiently served. Excellent paninis at reasonable prices, even during COVID times

Chris Goggins

The counter attendant / barista was snooty as I placed my order and when I asked for room for room for cream and sugar she acted impatient and poured 1/4th of a cup out so that after I added my cream and sugar I needed a top up. Just rude to me. Maybe I don't fit her bill of customers worthy of friendliness. Anyway I spoke to the manager via email and they said Sorry, take care.

Daniel Cardoza

Nice place, great coffee, though it can get a bit busy. Great outdoor patio for morning coffee.

John Irvine

I wasn't even there. So pretty hard for mwvto rate it.

Daniel Haylow

Great panini great coffee and awesome places to sit outside

Gabrielle Meredith

One of the best coffee shops that I know of in BC.

Bustling little cafe in Nelson which roasts their own line of coffee. Great local initiative and really really good tasting coffees. Food was good too, interesting options to choose from and you can sit inside or outside. Outside seating was really cool and accommodating for friendly four-legged friends

Jake Gigliotti

Decaf latte was excellent. Friendly staff. Not to be missed!
