Best coffee shops in Dayton

Our guide to specialty coffee in Dayton: 3 verified shops, including Poppets Coffee & Tea, Press Coffee Bar and Wayne & Clover Coffee Shop. Dayton's specialty coffee scene is small but real, clustered around the Oregon District, the riverfront 2nd Street Market, and the South Park neighborhood. A few well-known names have closed in the last couple of years, so these are the independents still roasting and pouring craft coffee.
