Beautiful space but the indoor tables are a little tight and anchored so they can't be shifted. It's also painfully loud indoors but looks like it would be a lovely place outdoors in warmer weather.

I bought a bag of Night Owl beans to take back to Salt Spring. Even though I’m loyal to our SSI roaster, I need to say how excellent this coffee is. The blend of beans strikes a perfect balance for me. Will head straight to you next time I’m in Nelson.

Oso Negro Café is pure magic — easily my favorite spot in Nelson! The moment you walk in you’re surrounded by character and charm. The wrought iron details, warm wood tones and artistic touches make it feel one-of-a-kind. Outside, the gardens are absolutely stunning — lush, peaceful and filled with beautiful spots to sit and enjoy your coffee. There’s lots of seating, both inside and out, and every corner feels cozy and inviting. Add in the mountain views and it’s just perfection. The coffee is incredible, the vibe is relaxed and you can feel the care that goes into every detail. An absolute must-visit in Nelson!

Delicious coffee and an excellent breakfast sandwich — very good! The space has a neat indoor setup and a nice outdoor area. It’s a busy spot, but service is quick and efficient. The baked goods are tasty too, with great vegan options available.
Best coffee shop experience you can get in Canada let alone Nelson! My favourite stop when I visit my daughter in Nelson. The prince of darkness coffee beans are the best.

A must stop for coffee in Nelson. Try the amazing toasted breakfast sandwich on a croissant.

Great atmosphere and lots of food/drink offerings. It's a popular spot with locals and tourists alike. Reasonable pricing and good experience overall. It's spacious for waiting to make an order. Clean and woodsy feels here.
