Kos Kaffe

"Remember Sandy? Koss customers certainly do, because they got to work from Koss for days, escaping to the social setting from their home walls while stranded in the area. Koss offers more than shelter for computer loving workaholics, it sells in house roasted coffee, all sorts of teas, baked goods and so on. Delicious!" - Anna Griniuk

"Waiting in line can elicit a few different reactions, like anticipation or an overwhelming sense that time has started playing at 0.5x speed. Or if you’re waiting in line at Kos Kaffe in Park Slope, you get the urge to start sniffing the air like Doug from Up. That’s because this cafe always smells intensely of baking biscuits, sizzling sausage, and frying eggs. Once you get your buckwheat pancakes or chicken schnitzel sandwich, head to a sidewalk table on 5th Avenue." - matt tervooren

"There are a ton of windows at Kos Kaffe in Park Slope. So grab a little table (they only have two-person tables here), and an iced tea lemonade that tastes like liquid gummy bears and imagine that you’re a nicely-kept indoor plant. Kos Kaffe limits laptop use during peak hours which means you can avoid sitting next to a writer who will eavesdrop on your conversation and turn it into the pilot episode of their TV show." - hannah albertine

"Kos is a great daytime spot. You can grab a seat on the sidewalk right underneath its big windows (which currently say “We Have Each Other”) and chat with someone over a sausage & egg biscuit, salad, or sandwich. We’re partial to the BLT, and if the basil lemonade Arnold Palmer is an option, do not miss your opportunity." - nikko duren

"Kos Kaffe is still taking orders for fresh-roasted beans on the shop’s website. Blends start at $17.95, and there’s a six-month subscription option available as well." - Liz Clayton
