50 Best Coffee Shops near Dayton

“Easily the best business in Dayton, KY. The staff is excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. My favorite lunch spot in the Dayton/Bellevue area.“

“This is a must visit bakery! The product is simply amazing and it is clear that the team here takes great pride in it (as they deservedly should). Every time I visit the area I make it a point to stop here - even if it is out of my way - as I am ALWAYS delighted with the tasty treats. You should too.“

“Walked in and was immediately greeted by the most amazing cashier. He touted everything on the menu. We ended up going with the Friday meatball sandwich special, the Italian sandwich and two vanilla tonka lattes. Both sandwiches and lattes were heavenly! We can’t wait to go back to try the rest of them on the menu.“

“I visited Kings Arms Coffee today for the first time, I was impressed! The coffee was silky smooth, I would recommend it.“

“I just wanted to let you know that my mom had a hankering for your spinach quiche pie. She's always busy and doesn't think things through sometimes. She threw the highly coveted quiche pie in her handbag and ran home to do some things before having a moment to eat the pie. Whatever. I saw the pie in her handbag, grabbed it and ran into the bushes to eat it as fast as I could. If the speed and accuracy of my devouring the highly coveted spinach ricotta pie is any indication of the number of stars this review requires, it is certainly a five out of five. Signed, Franki, the little black scruffy dog with a face (and sneaky fox vibe) only my mother could love. Thanks Coffee Emporium!!!“

“The drinks are expertly made and the place is immaculate! Shout out to Jack!“

“Y’all, Francesca is the best. These are the best croissants I have had in Cincy, and some of the best coffee. I came in to pick up a birthday cake and Francesca spoke with me in Italian and was so, so kind and generous. Definitely go see this place.“

“Ludlow Coffee is a great way to start the day! Cheery barista, sunny patio, tight-knit community meeting place! Snacks, pastries, Deeper Roots coffee. Try them!“

“Everything about this place is amazing. The food is too good. I ate until my tummy hurt. The gentleman behind the counter made me feel loved and welcome. The family that owns it are great people who give back to the community. It is tucked away, but def worth finding.“

“Benson Paige is a pup who has lived in a shelter for a whole year. Today is his last day on earth since he is being humanely euthanized tomorrow. A foster took him out and spent some time at Bloc, so benson got to finally cuddle up on a couch. He finally got to eat a whole plate of eggs, a plate of bacon and experience the good life- something he never got to experience before. Stevie the lead barista was incredibly kind and compassionate over the phone with me while I tried to coordinate getting benson a special treat and helped me make sure the foster & benson were taken care of and that he got to experience love. There are no words to describe my gratitude to them and thank them for providing a place for benson to be safe and loved. ❤️❤️❤️ can not recommend them enough for their customer service“

“Coffee Emporium has the best Caramel macchiato I’ve ever had - it was a perfect balance of coffee with a little bit of sweetness. I had a breakfast burrito which was fantastic! Please open a location in Liberty Twp, West Chester, or Mason 😊😊☕️“

“KungBrew had the best coffee and tea in greater Cincy. The cafe is gorgeous, the baristas are friendly and talented, and every drink I’ve ever gotten there has been perfect. The local art is a lovely bonus.“

Has vegetarian options.“

“Although I've lived in the neighborhood for over 10 years, I've only visited Carabello Coffee a couple of times, which I regret. It's an easy walk from Newport on the Levee and most other spots in Newport, making it a convenient stop if you're exploring the area. Street parking is available.

I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak to the coffee itself, but I was genuinely impressed by the selection of teas. The service was phenomenal, everyone was incredibly friendly and happy to answer my many questions without making me feel out of place. Beyond the drinks, the retail space is worth browsing on its own. If you appreciate thoughtful design, you'll find everything from unique chocolates to beautifully crafted coffee makers and brewing accessories that are as interesting to look at as they are functional.

The shop is divided into three distinct spaces, each with its own atmosphere. The center serves as the main counter where you can order coffee, tea, and a quick bite. To the right is a comfortable seating area that's perfect for enjoying your drink, while the space to the left (Analog) has more of an Internet cafe feel, complete with themed drinks and food.

What stood out to me most was how adaptable the space feels. Whether you're meeting a friend, settling in to work for a few hours, or simply looking for a quiet place to slow down, Carabello seems to naturally fit the moment.“

“Great espresso, coffee, and other beverages. Always happy to support local.“

“Great little coffee shop.“

“It’s a perfect place to grab a quick breakfast Sandwhich before you go to the office or grab a quick lunch. Foods always delicious, and it’s one of the few places in Cincy that is both a quick shop and stop but also a place to get a decent reasonably priced meal. The staff is always so friendly and kind.“

“Delicious new coffee spot! So cute on the inside. Everything I’ve had so far has been wonderful.“

“What a delightful coffee shop! Lots of delicious options. I had the Cinnamon Chip Muffin, Hazelnut coffee and took home an Almond croissant. They have sugar free and gluten free options, too! Scrumptious. Chill and friendly atmosphere with good service. Local art on display and community feel. Easy parking. I highly recommend.“

“This is the best one. I miss the coffee.“

“Such a cute coffee shop! Visiting from out of town and wanted a really good cup of coffee - they did not disappoint! They offer latte flights, allowing you to try a variety of their awesome flavors. Owners were so personable and friendly, telling us their sweet love story while making our coffees. HIGHLY recommend a visit!“

“Thanks for serving us I had fun time visiting with you.“

“Came in a few times this week and at the start of the week you could tell 7Brew was a little short staffed that morning. I got my order taken by a very polite, professional woman. I met the same woman at the register to pay and I had to tell her I knew she was running around like crazy but I appreciate her. Even being short staffed and in the Morning rush I know she probably wanted to scream!!! But she kept her composure, professionalism, kindness and beautiful smile. I went again this morning and seen this sweet lady again. Always smiling, cheerful and helpful. The woman said her name was Kay. I hope that management does something special for her as I could see from my few encounters with her that she truly enjoys her job and she might not know it but her being her, made my day!!! So again, thank you Kay for such a great experience and being the first to put a smile on my face this morning!!!

Stay true to you, you're AMAZING!!!!

Thank you for your time, BD“

“Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.“

“We loved this coffee shop. Quaint, hometown, family friendly. A favorite for locals. Many families with small children were there enjoying the laid back atmosphere. Ordering for quick and easy. You can pay with cash or card. Drinks came out quickly and were delicious. They bring your food out to your table when it is ready. My hubby had the avocado toast with egg on top and I had a breakfast sandwich. Glad we found it and we will definitely go back.“

“Good place to study, or work with friends. Open relatively late compared to other coffee shops, they have fresh roasted coffee beans, merch, and coffee equipment for sale. Vikram is very friendly and seems passionate about what they do. All the baristas have always been friendly and helpful.“

“Spa day with my friends for my birthday was the most amazing experience! Charcuterie board was beyond my expectations and a perfect mix. All items at the coffee bar were delicious and the perfect variety for our eclectic group. We had manis, pedis and massages. Alex and the entire team were so genuinely kind and accommodating! I wish I lived closer and could utilize this work space regularly.“

“Great music, great food and drink! I enjoy playing here, as well as going to hear other amazing artists play.“

“Loved my experiences here so far. Friendly employees, great coffee and the best chocolate croissant I’ve ever had in the United States. You can tell that their croissants are freshly made once you buy into them. They have great coffee choices that they change up each day. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“It tastes great. It's my first time.“

“Best dessert place there is! I have bought the 4oz minis for 2 family functions and they are always hit! We especially love the banana puddings! Not to mention the brownies are to die for!! Perfect tasty bites that remain me of the corners of the brownie pan! Can’t wait to try the shakes and cookies next!!“

“love❤ Mrs. Carol and family they always make you feel like you come to visit there home they serve you with so much care my children and grandchildren loves her as well .I always look forward to going and being there when I can a beautiful place to relax or unwind love you all💜💖“

“It tastes great. It's my first time.“

“Great service, friendly barista, EXCELLENT pastry selection (omg so good), delicious coffee. I really appreciated the pride flags at the register letting me know this is a queer-friendly spot for my family. A pride flag out front or in the window is my only suggestion — it would let new customers like me know to choose your shop over others.“

“The location is very convenient for working remotely, meeting clients, or grabbing a morning or afternoon coffee. I love the overall energy and vibe and meet new people as well as see old friends every time I go.“

“Such a great coffee shop in the heart of Cincinnati! We loved the atmosphere, the friendly vibe, and all of the options they had to choose from. There was truly something for everyone, from drinks to food and bakery items. Everything looked amazing! It’s the kind of place you could stop into again and again and still have new things to try. Can’t wait to come back!“
