Poppet's Coffee

poppet's roasts its own coffee, and that single fact changes everything. you're not picking up something warehoused and shipped generic across the country, what ends up in your cup started as a decision made locally, in dayton, about what's worth drinking. that kind of control over the process is rarer than it sounds, especially outside the coastal cities people usually associate with serious specialty roasting. the east second street address puts you in a part of dayton that rewards showing up on foot, unhurried. regulars here are genuinely loyal, the kind of loyal that doesn't drift, which tends to say more about consistency than any marketing does. if you're deciding when to go, morning is the obvious answer. get there before the day gets loud.
