“ They have lower prices on coffee compared to many other places. The cold brew was yummy and I had the pistachio avocado toast with egg which was also good. Nice location in downtown Oswego but not the most comfortable chairs inside. Very clean bathrooms too. ”
“ I went here for the first time this morning and I can’t wait to come back!! I am heading out of town today and my refrigerator broke, so I didn’t have creamer for my coffee and decided to pop over. Not sure I want to make coffee at home anymore. In addition to my newfound fav (Pumpkin Cold Brew), the service, space, and chai scone were amazing!!!! The prices are so reasonable which will make me a regular from now on. This place shows us that you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg for an enjoyable breakfast date. Way to go Oak Bean!!! ”

“ Stumbled upon this cool coffee spot—it's seriously great! The coffee is top-notch, and the vibe is laid-back. Whether you're working or just hanging out, it's a solid choice. Definitely a go-to for some quality caffeine vibes. And cute little area by the river, highly recommend. ”
“ This place was an absolute lovely find! The atmosphere alone was so inviting and soothing. Came here on a first date and it really helped with my nerves, with the laid back atmosphere and decor. The staff here is so friendly and helpful too. Make sure to get some fancy toast here, especially their fig and prosciutto toast! Amazing! Coffee is great too! But best of all, it's a wine bar too! I'll definitely be back! ”
