C'est génial!!!! I love a place that unapologetically commits to a vibe. Don't get me started on the loud immaculate music, I LOVE IT. In a sea of the cookie cutter coffee shop, Osmo takes you underground...with a suspended disco ball & delicious lattes & food. I dunno why people bother describing food when yall have mouths & tongues. Don't take my word for it, give your mouth & senses a gift.

I was really excited to try Osmo, which makes today's experience even more disappointing.

I arrived & joined the queue to order while waiting for a friend to meet me. I placed my coat on a table to save a seat, which is something many customers naturally do in busy cafés. A few minutes later another customer came over & told me that because he had ordered before me, the table was his. I politely told him I didn't really agree & suggested he speak to the staff if there was an issue rather than confronting me directly.

Instead, he sat down at the table anyway & got the staff involved. What surprised me most was that the staff immediately sided with him & told me that because he had ordered first, he was entitled to the table.

It honestly left me feeling really uncomfortable & disrespected. Even if that's the café's policy, the whole situation could have been handled with a lot more courtesy & professionalism. As a customer, I didn't feel valued at all.

I ended up leaving straight away without ordering anything, & sadly I won't be returning or recommending Osmo to others. Really disappointing!

Do not accept cash. Also they do not have outlets to plug in a laptop or charge a.mobile, so bear that in mind. Fair warning.

Took Pork Katsu Sando with Matcha & Matcha cookie. Sandwich was tender & well marinated/seasoned. Will have to come back for the egg sandwich. Matcha & Cookie were very good. Loved the location, like an underground concrete bunker peeking at the sunlight.
