Blue Rooster Bakehouse - Oberlin, Ohio Driving through…read moreOberlin, I was looking for a good cup of coffee and decided to stop in at Blue Rooster Bakehouse. The menu is written on a chalkboard, and there's a display case showing off all their fresh pastries and treats. I was hoping for something savory, and the barista mentioned the only option was a cheese croissant. It wasn't shaped like a traditional croissant, but the dough was flaky and buttery, filled with jalapeño and cream cheese, and finished with a sprinkle of salt on top -- surprisingly delicious. I ordered a Doppio, which I later learned is a double shot of espresso. It was strong, smooth, and paired perfectly with my pastry. I also picked up a slice of gluten-free banana bread for my husband. They had about four gluten-free/vegan options available, and everything looked freshly baked. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the space itself was cozy, seating around 15 people. However, accessibility could be an issue -- the narrow layout and tight walkway would make it difficult for anyone using a wheelchair to navigate. My total came to around $12, which felt reasonable for a specialty coffee and baked goods treat. Overall, it's a charming little spot with quality coffee and friendly service -- a place I'd return to when I'm in the area and want to splurge a little.

Wow. The difficulty…read morein a place like this lies in the narrowing down and decision making on what to get. If I could, I would have gotten one of everything. We finally settled on oatmeal cookie (man it's so good), fig/goat cheese/pear pastry, berry pastry, americano, and a chai latte with oat milk. We had a blast eating outdoors at the picnic bench, nice breeze even on an August morning! If we're ever in town again, this will be our Go To spot for sure.

I've been to Goldberry twice, both during a short return trip to this small Ohio town where I grew…read moreup. It's a strange thing, rolling into a place brimming with memory. You find so much the same, seemingly caught in time, and other things have greatly changed. Goldberry is one of those "new to me" additions to Ashland, and every time I walk through its doors, I find myself grateful that it is a part of this town's growth and change. Brightly lit, warmly modern, with touches of wood, crisp white, and greenery, the shop holds ample space to gather together with friends or sit comfortably by oneself, sipping an espresso, cortado, or dirty chai with almond milk (my personal choice today) while people-watching or reading a book. Tall windows line the front of the building, looking out upon a bustling parking lot and side-street as multiple baristas efficiently work away behind the bar. Fresh donuts were being sold at a stand as I entered, along with bagged beans and a variety of other bottled/canned beverages. People sat outside, in groups around larger tables, or in more relaxed leather chairs, animatedly caught up in conversation. Goldberry feels like a true 'third place' in Ashland - not your home, not your workplace, but that third place where you go to meet friends, begin your day, or center yourself before stepping out into the world. It's fittingly named in that light, given that Goldberry is the warmly welcoming, hospitable, and wise woman in JRR Tolkien's work who offers comfort and guidance to questing hobbits, the beautiful and mysterious 'river-woman's daughter' who married the enigmatic Tom Bombadil, a man whose magic was older than time. This coffee shop is all of those things: welcoming, warm, bright, and more than a little magical, glowing like a water-washed jewel - or fairly-sourced coffee bean - in the midst of this ever-changing tiny mid-Ohio town. I'll be back.
