cafe neo
Just south of where S.R. 1 crosses I-70, Café Neo accompanies its Greek-style coffee with “loukoumades,” bite-sized yeast donuts soaked in honey and sprinkled with chopped walnuts, cinnamon and powdered sugar. (Other tempting toppings include maple syrup, bacon, Nutella, peanut butter and glazed strawberries.) The coffee itself is uniquely prepared using a traditional hovoli brewing process that uses a hot plate on top of heated sand to ultimately create a creamy espresso-like top layer in your cup. Customers can also purchase bags of Café Neo’s private-blend coffee beans to grind at home.
Roscoe’s Coffee Bar & Tap Room sits pretty in Richmond’s Historic Depot District, brewing up a wide selection of organic fair-trade coffees and teas as it simultaneously pours from a deep inventory of wines and craft beers. Customers are welcome to break out a board game while noshing on a sandwich or some ice cream at this unique café/taproom/wine bar hybrid. Also in the Depot District, Undercover Coffee Shop serves up coffee with a purpose! The Undercover Coffee Shop employees individuals of all abilities and provides them a positive work environment. In addition to delicious drinks, their gift shop displays handcrafted wares by the employees and clients.
Another morning fixture, family-owned and operated Bismarck Donuts & Coffee prepares fresh donuts, sausage rolls, Danishes, cookies, fritters and other baked goods on a daily basis with hot or cold coffees and lattes. Customers have the choice of dining in the small shop, grabbing goodies to go, or ordering via the drive through. There’s more donuts and coffee where that came from. At Jack’s Donuts, they serve up family recipes that have been passed down by generations. And 5th Street Coffee & Bagels in the charming Old Richmond Court is part of the regionally renowned Molina family of restaurants that claims the Old Richmond Inn, Galo’s Italian Grill, and Ainsley’s Café and Harbor Bar. This European bistro-style coffee shop keeps its loyal clientele coming back with flavored coffee drinks, fresh breads baked on site daily, scones and sandwiches.
In Centerville you can sip n’ shop at The Village Forager where they offer a full service coffee bar alongside an array of homemade gifts, jewelry, organic teas, coffees and more.

The Boston Stokers coffee is always on, and the wares for sale — furniture, home décor items, paintings, pottery, jewelry, bath products, gifts and more — are all created by local Indiana makers.
Right around the Corner and minutes from Richmond, New Paris, Ohio has a coffee destination that has relaxation on the mind. The Cedar Coffee offers a cozy deck including a gas fire table that is great on a chilly day while you sip on a hot drip coffee or signature latte. Don’t forget some soup, a sandwich and dessert while you’re here.
