I’ve decided to share some of my family’s favorite local eats.
I’m going to start with two very important foods. Okay one is a food and the other is a drink. These are my favorite coffee shops and ice cream shops in the area. I’ve provided links to all of the places.
Coffee Shops
- Boston Stoker – They have a killer blueberry tea that is delicious over ice. Yum! A good coffee is their Highlander Grogg which you can buy the 1/2 pound or pound.
Various locations around Dayton - Ghostlight Coffee – Their latte made with fig, vanilla, and black pepper syrup is so delicious. I have also had the syrup in their iced coffee. The black pepper gives it a little bit of a kick. Oh, the cabin fever bulk coffee is wonderful.
Close to downtown Dayton - Winan’s Chocolates and Coffee – Any place that you can get both chocolate and coffee is a place that has my business. I love the chocolate covered strawberries and meltaways. My sons love the buckeye candies from there. They have seasonal lattes which are all yummy!
Various locations around Dayton and Columbus - Hip-Stirs Coffee House – I enjoy the S’Mores flavored coffee. They use Boston Stoker coffee. If you want a small quiet coffee house, this is the place to go.
It’s located close to exit 21 on I-70 in Brookville. So if you are traveling on I-70 and need coffee, this would be a great place to go.
Ice Cream
- Young’s Jersey Dairy – The best place ever to get ice cream. Not only do you get ice cream, there is a quick service restaurant and a sit down restaurant there. They have all kinds of activities for the family.
My favorite treat there is the Cow Patty Shake.
Located outside of Yellow Springs - Graeter’s Ice Cream – This is an ice cream shop founded in Cincinnati. The raspberry chocolate chip ice cream is wonderful.
Various locations and pints of ice cream are found in some grocery stores - Jeni’s Ice Cream – Yum! If you want some different flavors of ice cream, this is one ice cream shop you should try. I love the riesling-poached-pear-sorbet and coffee flavors from there.
Various locations in the Columbus area - Inside Scoop – A local favorite – They serve Hershey’s brand ice cream. If they are serving the apple pie flavored ice cream, it is SO good. The chocolate chaos ice cream is also delicious!
