Oren’s coffee is coffee at its best. I think I’ve been to every location over the years. This was my first(and last) visit to the Grand Central location. I am specifically referring to the young blonde salesperson whose disinterest and absolute lack of willingness to assist with selection were borderline offensive.

The service is very poor. They do not sell brewed coffee at this location, thus educated salesmen are an essential. The price of regular product such as a chemex are often 10% higher. They used to have great chocolate covered espresso beans, which tasted very burnt the last few times that I tried them.

Best place to buy coffee beans in the midtown area. It’s really close to my office so I take a quick break to grab a new flavor almost every week. We have K cup machines but. It doesn’t beat fresh brewed, so we bought a Mr. Coffee, which is now situated in my office, and we now rotate amongst our little group of people who want in on fresh brewed coffee. The Ethiopia line is my favorite. We just grabbed the Ethiopia Amaro today. Smells heavenly nutty. The guys who work the counter are very knowledgeable and know what to recommend according to your taste. The price range is roughly $ 16-$ 19 per pound. Pricier than others but for good reason– highly recommend.

One of my favorite places to buy my coffee beans in NYC. Helpful and friendly and knowledgeable staff like at all of their locations. :) Favorite to to blends are the Oren’s Roast, Brazil and Beowulf :) Their Oren’s card is accepted here, like all of their locations, They can look up your recently purchases if you need help remembering or deciding. :) They don’t sell drinks here. sadly :(

Delicious coffee. I always purchase a pound of beans to take home when I travel through New York. Wide selection. The roast is never bitter, it’s always smooth and full-bodied. Recommend.

They don’t sell beverages here! Just beans. Five stars anyway because they were really nice about it, and I love Oren’s!

Beowulf espresso blend is the bomb, makes perfect stovetop espresso. Lots of choice at Oren’s, helpful staff, and a little cheaper than some of the more boutique options in midtown. Solid choice.

Located inside the Grand Central Market. I love their coffee beans. The staff knows what they are talking about and have never steered me wrong. There is a frequent purchase card which is very cool to me. If you are looking for coffee beans this is the place.

There are a myriad of coffee choices in the area, but this one has actual barista’s and not machinists like the green monster around the corner. If you like coffee made well and by a very cool group of people, get out of the mile long line at Starbucks and get in here where it’s warm and the people making your coffee actually care about the process.

TIP: Beverages aren’t served at the Grand Central Market Location. I was looking for a good cup of coffee, and worked my way through the crowd in Grand Central Market to find Oren’s. Almost immediately, I was offered a sample-sized cup of one of their coffees. After downing the ounce of free caffeine, I gazed behind the counter, looking for a menu or typical coffee brewing gadgets. The staffer with the samples nicely broke the news to me — no drinks at this location. Overall: Great beans, good service, convenient location if you need beans or ground coffee.

Lately, I’ve been on a tear at Grand Central Market, and recently discovered this Oren’s Daily Roast location! From a dark ‘n strong coffee-lover, I can say I thoroughly enjoy their Viennese and Italian Roasts. As others have noted, staffers are always friendly here, despite the bustling crowds making their way through the market during afternoon rush hours. Recommended!

Oren’s and I have a love and hate relationship. — Love that I can get genuine Ethiopian Yirgacheffe whole beans by the point. — Hate that they charge me $ 16/lb. for it —- — Love that it’s in a convenient Grand Central Market location right near my work. — Hate that they know they are convenient and can allow themselves to charge so much for coffee beans. —- — Love that despite the issues in Africa, they still manage to have a great selection of African coffee available while Starsucks has to discontinue certain flavors. — Hate that it makes sense to me to pay $ 16/lb. because I have heard about the issues in Africa. —- The only thing that I can do is shake my fist at them, but damn it they are so terribly good. They have the coffee I want… the coffee I need… the coffee on which I refuse to compromise. It’s genuine. It’s fresh. Damn them. The bastards are good.

If you like dark, rich coffee like I do, then you’ve got to try their Beowulf espresso blend. Amazing when prepared with a french press. Thank you, Oren’s, for making mornings less painful.

Wholesome coffee in the heart of Grand Central which you can smell all the way down in the subway.

RICHSATISFYINGCOFFEEINGRANDCENTRALSTATION I am very picky about my coffee and I was impressed with the coffee at Oren’s Daily Roast. It had a smooth nutty flavor and was not overly strong. Also, the customer service was excellent in this busy location.
