Excellent coffee shop for the locals. We stopped by after our lunch for a coffee and small sweet.
The main room has quite a bit of seating, local art for sale on the walls, board games to borrow, some books and an old piano.
They have full coffee and tea along with the ability to buy beans. The folks behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. Some small pastries/cookies/chocolate to go along with the caffeine.
Available are small cold sandwiches and sides if you are a little more hungry. They also have coffee and coffee accessories to buy.
In addition to the wonderful caffeine choices, there is also a small but well stocked wine shop and a small liquor store in the very back. Wine-wise, you would be hard pressed to walk away with something good, or local, or maybe that you have not heard of before (or all three). The liquor store has a lot of the usual items being so small, but all major categories are represented. Finally, they have a small number of different bitters and amaros.
All-in-all, a great to place to stop.

Cannot comment on the food because we did not eat here. We stopped in for a few bottles of wine. Their selection is phenomenal, wine from different regions and a large variety if whites and reds
The gentleman working there was very friendly and helpful in explaining the set up. A great place to get that bottle for a special occasion or looking for something different to try.

The vibes in here are sublime! I love so much about it: beautiful rugs, used books, huge variety of wines, mugs and art on the walls, handwritten menu and pastries in the window. The breakfast burrito is delicious! I just wish my coffee was served in a mug to reduce waste. Breakfast here followed by browsing the stacks next door at Dark Star is my definition of a perfect morning date. Grab a bottle of wine at the shop to enjoy in the evening to cap it off.

Great coffee & atmosphere! The staff are very friendly and move swiftly with preparing orders. The atmosphere is cozy, warm & welcoming. There are books available to read if you choose. I was especially fond of the art displayed around the shop. Lots of vegan & dairy free options were also wonderful to see.

Not only an excellent café with lovely gluten free pastry options and great breakfast, but a cultural hub of Yellow Springs. From the local writing group, wine tastings, live music, to poetry readings, it offers such a valuable gathering space. I’m glad it’s here.

It has the most warm and welcoming atmosphere, with local art on the walls, and even live music! The people working there are very nice. The wine selection is expansive.
I got a brownie which was okay (the frosting had the majority of the flavor), and a hot chocolate which was unfortunately very bland. I would still like to try their other treats sometime because they look good!

We got the breakfast burrito and breakfast scramble. The eggs are soft and delicious and the sauce had a nice heat to it! Quick and friendly service. Highly recommend for a local choice.

Funky, warm, friendly environment. Great wine and craft beer selection. Food limited to sandwiches, muffins and some special breakfast baked goods, but all are wonderful. Coffee is excellent — fresh made and bulk available.

I’m going to be honest, this place doesn’t have the greatest coffee or pastries. The coffee is very weak, and the pastries were really stale. However, the service is great, and the atmosphere is perfect. If you want to chill and read a book or play some table games, it’s totally worth it.

A hardy thank you to Jess and the Emporium crew for making our anniversary special! The take you did on making your lemon lavender shortbread cookie into a cake was phenomenal. I will remember it for lifetimes to come. The flavor is delicious, the icing is spectacular and the taste is beyond this world.
I also have to mention the customer service. The team there is always so helpful and nice on any day you visit. But, picking up the cake was such a sweet experience, you all did a great job and made me feel special. My husband and I are eternally grateful for you all.
