Ossorio is the ultimate coffee shop experience in the Cocoa/Rockledge area. This shop is well-maintained, has friendly staff, and certainly has a European flare in its manner of service and decor. This is not a place to go if you are impatient and just wanted a quick caffeine fix. You will wait a bit if the order requires steamed or frothed milk. The coffee is excellent, and the food presents a justifiable reason to go to Ossorio for non-coffee drinkers. The best feature of Ossorio for me is the devotion of the owner to maintaining a coffee shop free of loud, unruly children. Sadly, the art of parenting is lost on many people, and the public is forced to tolerate children with poor manners and obnoxious behavior. There is a sign clearly posted in Ossorio which discourages loud, unruly behavior from children, who may be asked to leave. I recently observed the manager request that two children curb their loud behavior, since the parent was clearly incapable of making such an effort (or unwilling). Her assertiveness and the cold stares of patrons resulted in a quick exit for these unwelcome customers. If you cannot control your children, do not come to Ossorio. There are plenty of trashy restaurants & petting zoos for children who cannot behave and parents who cannot be bothered to control their children. Thank you, Ossorio, for looking after your patrons and providing a place of refuge from obnoxious children (and adults).
