Coffee Shops near Oberlin

“A delight for all your senses! I was looking for a bakery that could satisfy that need for a mid afternoon pick-me-up and wow, have I found it. I’m partial to the cakes, but you can expect a lovely variety of treats each time you walk in. I can’t wait to see what they bake next! First visit getting a drink, and I’m happy to report the chai is refreshing. The shop itself is charming, staff is friendly, it’s just a downright nice place.“

“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“

“I absolutely love Slow Train! It is one of 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. The Macha Latte and cheddar chive bagel are my absolute favorite items on the list, but everything is great ?“

“To all of the staff working tonight 5/1 at 10:30pm I want to applaud their professionalism and staying calm when an extremely rude female customer came up to the drive thru and interrupted my order to complain about having to park and wait for her order. They all handled it very well and they were very busy, I could tell they were all working hard. The staff stayed calm and I cussed out the terribly rude customer so they didn’t have to ? the whole staff deserves a raise.“

“Had the blended orange Creamsicle, strawberry cheesecake latte & iced Chai with lavender cold foam (yes, we're basic). These were all absolutely fantastic & full of flavor. Unlike other coffee shops, everything here tasted exactly like it is listed. If you order a brownie flavor drink, be prepared to get exactly that. Sounds simple, but some places can't nail it like the lucky penny does.“

“I absolutely LOVE this place!! I treated my husband to the sandwich called The California, he gave it RAVE reviews. He couldn't say enough nice things about it. He even wanted to give his compliments personally to the chef face to face tonight. The live music was wonderful watching I also want to highly compliment Autumn V. She is phenomenal!!!!“

“I always love to meet friends here. It is a cozy little coffee shop. Great food. Their coffee is always hot and delicious. I get the vegetable sandwich. Their chicken paprikash is really good. The service is always friendly and top notch.Vegetarian options: Their veggie sandwich is a good option even if you aren’t vegetarian. It’s delicious.“

“This is a neat little place. We've been here once before on a lazy day and had a few apps and a libation. It has taken us too long to get back considering we only live a mile away. Today we went for the Bloody Mary bar. I liked how they did this...fill out your card and the drink is made to order - perfectly made and spicy; just how I like it.They were busy. The Browns were on TV and we were hoping to see the game. Unfortunately the one table without a view was the only table available. Guess what? As soon as another table opened up, the server asked us if we wanted to move. She did this without us saying anything. How awesome was that?Our food was tasty. Great burger. I didn't care for the sweet potato fries as they were a bit soggy, but that was my choice. I could have ordered regular fries. The pretzel was great, too.We will definitely be back and encourage others to stop by to have a drink, food, and nice times.“

“Food is phenomenal! The French toast and hash browns are to die for! You'll always see the owner walking around checking in on all her guests. Lot of times sitting and talking with them. One can tell she really likes to get to know everyone. She is very kind and attentive. Even the chef has come out and hand delivered food making sure everything is cooked to perfection. Coffee cups are always being refilled with fresh hot coffee. Restaurant is super clean, even the bathrooms were spotless. Very charming little restaurant nestled behind railroad tracks. Everything beautifully decorated with trains and wood benches and seats. Plenty of parking! I highly recommend this little gem. You won't be disappointed!!!!“
