About Oval Coffee Roasters

Intention, Poured Over. At Oval Coffee Roasters, we believe coffee is more than a drink—it’s an experience crafted with passion, precision, and a touch of adventure. Founded by seasoned roaster Christopher Alspach, who co-founded Upper Left Roasters in Portland, we bring West Coast light-roast expertise to the energy of New York City. Roasted in the Bronx and rooted in Manhattan, Oval offers clean, contemporary blends in both whole bean and innovative single-serve pour-over formats, making artisan coffee accessible anywhere—from the office to the outdoors. Our blends highlight meaningful attributes like Women-Produced Coffee, Natural Process, and Half-Caffeinated, with consumer-friendly messaging that resonates. Standouts include the Bowling Green Blend (women-produced coffees from Huehuetenango, Guatemala), The Natural (fruit-forward, naturally processed), and Riverside Blend (balanced, half-caff). Design-forward packaging, convenience, and a flavor-first approach set Oval apart. Every roast reflects our mission: creating unforgettable moments, one perfect cup at a time.Read their story
