Poppets Coffee & Tea @ 2nd Street Market

poppets roasts its own coffee, and that single fact changes what you're getting here. this isn't a shop pulling espresso from a bag someone else decided on. the 2nd street market address, 600 e 2nd st in dayton's east side, puts it inside a working public market, which means the energy around you shifts depending on the day and the crowd. but the coffee stays consistent because the sourcing decisions and the roasting happen under the same roof, same people, same accountability. regulars here aren't casual about it, and that kind of loyalty doesn't build around something mediocre. if you go once, go on a market day, and order whatever they're currently featuring from the roaster's own lineup.
