To the person who wrote below that the owner is a horrible person, you do not know my mother. You do not know the amount of work she has put into her shops over the years. You do not know her personally, and how much she cares about each and every one of her customers. The audacity you would have to make such a false claim, is astounding and childish. You are a grown human being who is choosing to hide behind a screen and say awful things about others in order to make yourself feel better. Slow train and The Local are both amazing shops that brings together people from all walks of life, and makes everyone feel good after entering and being in the atmosphere of the shops. I say this without bias as I have grown up in the shops my entire life and have seen all of this firsthand. @Bagels

This location is ideal for a more relaxed environment to do work. The staff are incredibly hard working and it is clear that a lot of effort has gone into the curation of the local.

The Local and Slow Train are my go-to spots for a creative workspace out of the house. The vibe in the coffee shop is so energizing! Plus, they offer delicious coffee and treats. What more do you need?

I want to apologize for leaving a 1 star review on here yesterday. I had actually visited a competitor of yours after your facility was closed. Your competitor had coffee sleeves with your name printed on them and we were from out of town. When we had a bad experience at your competitor I looked at the cup and left my negative review based on the name listed on the cup. Only later did I realize my mistake. I’m sorry for the incorrect feedback and have since deleted my rating and comment. I did however want to mention it since I found it odd that your competitor was using coffee sleeves with your name printed on them. Best wishes to your establishment as your competitor was very “slow” which was fitting for their name.

Poorly managed, unfriendly grumpy staff who clearly did not want to be there. There was a line out the door and no one was taking orders. The girl working the espresso area just walked away. Recommend going
Espresso and cappuccino were delicious. Bagels were warm and fresh with plenty of cream cheese. Cozy atmosphere with nice decor. Order took a few minutes but worth the short wait. We’ll be back for sure.

My favorite coffee shop in Oberlin! I wish their hours were a little more convenient for grabbing something on the way to work, though.
