From the Oval story

Coffee belongs in the everyday

A pastry at a neighborhood café. A cup before the day begins. Coffee shared with someone you have been meaning to catch up with. These are the moments we make Oval for.

Our March 2026 visit to Ando Patisserie in Williamsburg is one small part of that story: thoughtfully roasted coffee finding its place in a familiar daily ritual.

Know your coffee

A little guidance for choosing and brewing your next cup.

A few questions before your next cup

Are the single-serve pour-overs instant coffee?

No. Each packet holds ground coffee in a built-in drip filter. Place it over a suitable heat-safe mug and pour hot water through the grounds. You need a hot-water source, but no grinder or coffee machine for brewing.

Which format should I give as a gift?

Whole beans suit someone with a grinder and brewer. Single-serve pour-overs need hot water and a suitable mug. Explore coffee gifts for variety packs and Discovery Sets, or corporate coffee gifts for custom-labeled bags.

Can I supply guests or include coffee in gift baskets?

Explore Hospitality & Gift Basket Coffee and 100-count cases for three specialty coffee profiles that brew with hot water and a mug. The built-in filter holds the grounds for easy cleanup, and gift senders do not need to match a recipient’s coffee machine. For staffed event service, visit NYC coffee catering.

Where can I find ordering and brewing help?
