The counter is in the back; they have a large selection of breakfast items but the main draw is coffee. They have all the brewed standards, plus along the rear wall are dozens of roasted beans to buy to go. Beans from all over the world, roasted in different ways, some with flavoring. You can fill up bags to enjoy your favorites at home. During our visit, I ordered a bagel and their star tots. The bagels were great quality, toasted to order with any toppings. They have options for breakfast sandwiches as well. I also had a cold brew. The staff was small, but surprisingly efficient even with the amount of customers coming and going. Prices are super reasonable as well. If you're in the area, this is a cozy spot for breakfast.

We sat in the big comfy chairs. Drank a tropical bubble tea and an iced churro coffee. The tropical bubble tea was good. Not too sweet, a little bit too much ice, but was very cool and refreshing. The iced churro coffee was delicious and a bit indulgent. Lots of cinnamon and nice cold foam top. Very good. We sat for about 30mins and enjoyed our drinks, cooled off, used the restroom and did some people watching. Place was very steady. People talking out and staying in. This seems pretty popular. All sorts of drinks ordered. Nice place lots of tables, booths, and comfy chairs and couch. Main order area is in the corner toward the back, the rest is seating. We'll be back.

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.

Will come back to hide in a book or do breathing exercises.

If you don't like sweet be sure to tell them 1/2 sweet on the drinks. The reason I gave it a 3 is because if you order 6 or more drinks they automatically charge you 20% for tip for your order. We have a large family and to be automatically charged an extra amount for that was a bit of a surprise. We've gone to coffee shops all over the country and have never run into that at a coffee shop. A restaurant or something we are used to that with large groups. But I don't think 6 drinks constitutes an $8 up charge. Would come back but not ordering for my whole family. Or I'll just do two separate orders.
