Welcome to Oval Coffee Roasters

We founded Oval Coffee Roasters on a single enduring belief: coffee quality matters.

As a New York City specialty coffee company, we roast light roasted coffees with restraint and precision, pursuing sweetness, structure, and clarity in every batch. Our approach centers on sourcing transparency and intentional roasting, delivering coffees that feel composed, expressive, and built for everyday ritual.

Our lineup includes Women-Grown coffees, naturally processed coffees with fruit-forward profiles, and balanced half-caffeinated options. Each offering is shaped by years of experience in Pacific Northwest specialty coffee and grounded in New York City.

Oval’s Co-Founder and Director of Coffee, Christopher Alspach, has been certified by the Specialty Coffee Association since 2014 and refined his craft in the Pacific Northwest before returning home to New York.
