Great cafe which is inspired by Norwegian design principles and concepts. They have many drink options and many creative drink options on the menu and really decent espresso - which is what I ordered.
I had great conversations with the barista as well which is ALWAYS a great experience to have! They have a rotating coffee option, which you can also buy by the bag. The machine used by them is really fascinating specially if you are into great coffee and/or precision and/or tech.
There exists a small parking lot on the eastern side of the plaza where you can park, however there are a very limited number of spots available there, and you should be careful as it’s small and so is the entrance/exit. The parking is right by the UPS Store and Korean Restaurant on the Eastern side.
I had been meaning to stop by and try their coffee and finally did! The shop is very cute and small. They have some cute items for sale and some bottled drinks as well. There is a small seating area that would be a good place to sit on a not so busy day.
I ordered their latte with oat milk (upcharge), since they do not carry skim milk. It was a good cup, but it was not as hot as I am used to or as strong. I may give it another try if I am in the area in the future.
anywhere i travel, i make it my business to find a coffee shop ☕️
here’s a cute little shop that donates a portion of their profits directly to non-profit organizations focused on educational initiatives, neighborhood revitalization, and poverty alleviation around the world.
what an amazing way to give back and enjoy a great cup of coffee.
Enjoyed this little coffee shop - love the cozy Norwegian "hygge" vibes in this place. Solid coffee with a nice selection of food offerings. I'm a vegetarian and noticed several veg-friendly food options. I always get the iced latte anywhere I go. The employees were also friendly and knowledgeable. Would totally come back!
Cute little coffee shop with great iced lattes — a must during the summer. Nowhere to sit and work, but there are a few seats to look out at the cars driving by.
Well designed and comfortable cafe with Scandinavian inspired lightly roasted single origin coffees. They have an interesting "kokekaffe" service that's tasting and fun to try when you're hanging out for awhile. The light bites are a mix of Buttermilk Bakery products and their own creations many with a nod to their Norwegian heritage. Currently they don't have a darker roasted coffee that some people prefer in espresso based products but to my palate the lighter roasts create more interesting drinks. Easily one of the two best local coffees in Greater Orlando.
Coffee is great! Staff is amazing. Super cool little local coffee shop. Cups and lids are compostable. They sell baked goods from another small local bakery.
KOS (pronounced Koosh) is a small Nordic inspired coffee shop with a charming interior design and a mix of their own merch and local artist @sjstudioshop earrings. I love that they have rotating seasonal flavors!! Although I was hesitant to try the purple ube the barista made it in hot latte form sweetened to my liking with the cute foam heart on top! We had the pleasure to meet the owner and understand the challenges small businesses face. One con (which is not the shop's fault) is the small parking lot to the side of the plaza strip and the awkwardness of getting in/out when the opening is only wide enough to fit 1 car. Overall we give it 5/5 coffee beans!!
My favorite coffee spot. Knowledgeable baristas, consistent high quality, and a close connection with the source of their beans. I've been nearly a dozen times and am always happy with the coffee.
If I lived closer I'd go daily but at an hour drive I consider it a real treat when I get to visit KOS.
As decorated as Winter Park is with it’s boutiques and restaurants, KOS elevates the relevance and importance of craft coffee with a dash of the Nordic lifestyle. Owners, Bridgette and Russ couldn’t be more symphathic souls. This is my new go to.
