Good coffee, roasted on the street where you drink it.

We roast small batches every Monday at the back of the café. Come in for a flat white, or take a bag home.

Our story

Two friends, one small roaster.

Mara and Ilya opened Oro in 2021 with a second-hand five-kilo roaster, a counter by the window and a lot of Monday mornings. Every coffee we pour was roasted within the week, forty steps from where you're sitting.

Ask for a look at the roaster. It's loud, it smells wonderful, and we're happy to talk about it.
