Gustavo was awesome and very knowledgeable! Don’t let the location fool you this place is the real deal when it comes to coffee.

This is it. This is grail espresso bean for any Orlando resident.I purchased the vienna in both medium dark (Arabica, Robusta), and Medium (Arabica). The ristretto shot I pulled was gorgeous with tons of crema, even out of a Breville Duotemp, and had so much body and flavor that I felt bad testing it in a latte. Chocolatey, little hints of fruitiness that don't get cloying; it's my preferred espresso profile.Gustavo clearly puts his heart into this product. The roast was perfect -- just the right amount of oil on the surface of each bean. There are a lot of places in this city that assume darker is better, but OCR knows their stuff. I'm sure it would be great in pour over, drip, and even french press, but this is the king of espresso beans. I wish I had known about these guys years ago, as I would not have purchased my coffee from anywhere else. Idali (I hope I got that right) at the front counter was also super cool and a great rep for the brand.I'm so glad I don't have to go shopping around, desperate to find good roasters -- this is where I'll get my beans from now on.

What a hidden gem! Worth the extra effort to find this place- the owner knows his farms/ farmers and brews in an artisanal manner with the most aromatic coffees- the natural process Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is so complex and

The coffee is great and service is perfect, they'll help you out with any questions/needs you have, the coffee is super fresh. Only downside is that they dont have any food/pastries but they're not a coffee shop

Bought some great Columbian roasted beans, with a very pleasant cognac-like flavor. Love it. Also bought several different origins unroasted beans (Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, brazil).The place isn’t easy to find, next to car repairs shops, but it’s definitely worth the stop to get fresh roasted or unroasted beans. The owner, Gus is a cool guy.4 stars not 5 because we also bought a barrel but unfortunately the top part broke just hours later.

Friendly and knowledgeable service. A pleasure to stop by, offered to taste coffee they were brewing and discuss, also gave me some to go. It's a little place in the middle of some car mechanic place but great nonetheless. I would definitely return!

We discovered this place last week while car shopping in Orlando. The service was amazing. Gustavo custom made our drinks (serving me the best Mocha I have had in a long time) all well educating us on the different kind of coffee beans and locations they are grown. (We asked a lot of question since we love the whole coffee production process.) We ended up buying some beans and they are amazing.

Fresh coffee does make a difference; and Orlando Coffee Roaster is really good at providing it! I don’t purchase anything else. They also make you feel right at home.

Buy roasted coffee here probably twice a year. Normally falls close to expectations since I get to try the coffee onsite, which is usually great… but didn’t this this time, and was disappointed with my choice.This is not inexpensive coffee at $1.66/oz price point which is in the specialty coffee price range (Most of specialty coffees I buy are between $1.50-2.80 per oz)Chose two “LIGHT” roast from Brazil and Ethiopia. Have only opened the Brazil but came out in medium-dark range for Natural Brazil (38.8g/100ml), and NOT claimed by roaster but wouldn’t consider it specialty.Wasn’t what I was expecting. However, once dialed has some nice black cherry, red wine notes that are enjoyable.I am coming back, not leaving you… just pay attention to your roast levels and labeling. Will always support local roasters!
Love all of my coffee beans for espresso. Fast shipping and resealable containers. Online ordering is easy.

We have tried many of the local roasters and keep coming back to Orlando Coffee Roasters. They have the best balance of quality, value, and variety we have found.

Probably one of the most pleasant experiences in retail ever. And their products are of the highest quality. We have been customers for 3 years, both in store and having our coffee shipped. The service is always excellent. The coffee is always as fresh as can be and super clean. I would recommend OCR to coffee snobs everywhere!Thank you, Francisco!
