My boyfriend and I look forward to our morning iced coffees on the weekends at Oak and Bean. We love it here! The atmosphere is not only aesthetically pleasing, but very comfortable as well. Everyone working is fantastic. We like that we get our coffees quick and we can either stay and chat or have the chance to walk and sip around downtown Oswego. Iced coffees are spot on every time. Please never change Oak and Bean. You have something special. :)

Just grabbed my usual honey latte, and it was absolutely well done! Such a wonderful spot to relax, enjoy a great cup of coffee (they also offer wine options), and grab a bite to eat. Casey (I hope I'm spelling that right!) was incredibly welcoming and added to the warm, inviting atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!

My girlfriend and I come here every Saturday for lunch. We always get a brown sugar bacon Gouda and turkey club with pesto. Excellent sandwiches all around. We like mixing up our coffee order too and they always hit the spot. Music playlist is always on point too

This place is a bit pricey but worth it. The iced chai is excellent and so are their avocado toasts + Gouda (I believe) sandwich. My sister and I go and split two dishes, you can ask them to cut them in half, it’s the best way to try more menu items in my opinion.

Didn't get food, only coffee. We each had a latte, one hot, I've iced. I particularly enjoyed the pistachio iced latte. It was a little slow ordering but we went right when they opened. By the time we placed our order, the line was ten deep so that was a good sign. There's a decent number of tables inside but it was a nice morning so we sat outside on the patio. There's another six to eight tables out there. The menu looks great. There's some breakfast type pastries, a sandwich menu, and a charcuterie section which I'm looking forward to trying. And they serve wine! Minus the wine and charcuterie, it has a very similar vibe to Grace in Yorkville. Highly recommended!

Super peaceful location with such delicious sandwiches and drinks! I had Lemon Meringue Matcha and Mocha with Brown Sugar Bacon with Gouda Sandwiches. It was AMAZING! Flavor was so unique and has a depth to it🤩 Definitely one of my favorite place!

A place that I come to for a morning coffee with a window seat, and I end up having a delicious lunch and/or end-of-the-day wine. The perfect spot to work, journal, eat al fresco, people watch, meet up, or just be. My Oak + Bean favs included the brown sugar bacon and egg sandwich, pistachio avo toast, the honey lavender latte, and the one and only, Elton.

I love Oak and Bean and meet/work here often. It's casual and welcoming. Staff is always really friendly. It has a great vibe and lots of choices for drinks and food. I've also come at night for wine with friends and it's been just as great then as it is during the day! Also the Avocado toast with pistachios and honey is out of this world delicious!

Staff were really friendly and pronounced my name right. Most of the prices are fair, and they have a good selection of syrups. I got a lavender lemonade and it’s pretty good. They have some GF options which is always good, and they have a bar as well with wine and mimosas. The space is big, there’s plenty of seating and it’s easy to talk. My only personal suggestion is hopefully they build their food menu with some actual food not just bakery items. There is a noticeable upcharge on things like a chai latte or a matcha latte and it always pmo when businesses do that, upcharging just because of the popularity of something. And it was painfully obvious compared to other items too. I don’t really think you can argue cost of ingredients since their bakery items were pretty fairly priced and require a lot more ingredients, but that’s just my two cents. Wouldn’t mind coming back here though
