Exploring the Ohio Coffee Trail is about more than checking another coffee shop off a list. Each stop is an opportunity to enjoy great coffee, support an independent business, and discover more of the community around it.
1. Try Something Local
Every coffee shop has its own personality. Try a signature drink, locally roasted coffee, seasonal special, or something the shop is known for.
2. Take a Look Around
Your coffee stop can be the beginning of the trip, not the end. Explore the downtown, visit another local business, find a nearby attraction, or see what else is happening in the community.
3. Support the Shop
Ohio Coffee Trail is built around independently owned coffee businesses. Grab a pastry, take home a bag of beans, pick up some merchandise, or simply come back again.
4. Share What You Discover
Found a great drink, shop, or unexpected stop along the way? Share it. Tag the coffee shop and Ohio Coffee Trail and help someone else discover a place worth visiting.
5. Bring Your Passport
If you have an Ohio Coffee Trail passport, bring it along and collect your stamp at participating locations as you explore.
6. Keep Exploring
There is no right way to follow the Trail. Explore one community, plan a day trip, or make Ohio Coffee Trail part of your travels across the state.
The coffee may be what brings you in. The people, places, and experiences you discover along the way are what make the Trail worth following.
Start with coffee. Explore from there.
