Oren's Daily Roast
Oren's Daily Roast is a coffee shop on Broadway between 111th and 112th Streets. It's part of the New York City chain, and fairly pricey. There are differing opinions with respect to whether or not the coffee is any good. It just wouldn't be Columbia if we all agreed.
Pro
It's the best coffee around, period. Except for the Breakfast Cart on 118th and Broadway. Oh, and it's not Starbucks, which you might hate.
Con
It kinda sucks. The coffee is overroasted just as badly as at other coffee chains, and the overwhelming self-importance of the customers getting their rocks off by buying poor coffee anywhere other than Starbucks is stifling.
