What a wonderful coffee shop! Glad to see some places still have great, artisan coffee, as well as a good vibe! First off, I chatted with the very knowledgeable barista about the beans they use, and if I lived closer, I'd definitely make it my mission to go through and try each kind. Got a pour over which was delicious and full flavored. They also offer all kind of coffee and espresso drinks, so something for everyone. They also have baked goods that looked delicious but I certainly didn't need it haha. And to the side are all the beans. Most had roast dates within a week, so all super fresh. Love the vibes inside. Very earthy and natural, yet benches were comfortable and I can see getting some work done here. Love this place! I wish I lived closer I'd totally become a regular. read more

Flatlands coffee is a great coffee shop! They have very friendly staff (also very knowledgable) and serve great coffee! I've tried the cortado and a warm vanilla latte and I loved them both! It's a nice place to get work done and study, they have free wifi and outlets at every table. The seating isn't very comfortable, but it doesn't bother me. Parking is street parking, but I've never had an issue finding somewhere close to park. I'll definity be back next time I'm in Bowling Green. read more

The barista was so friendly and welcoming. She made a great recommendation for a sweet coffee and really knew her products. She made sure to welcome everyone who entered and exited. Overall, I would recommend and would love to go back. read more

Have been in a couple times and got a few bags of beans to take home. Great quality coffee, and snacks. Definitely a cut above the other shops in town, which feel a bit more down home or old school in comparison. Not a slight against the other spots, just trying to convey the different feel. Flatlands has a modern, clean ambience. Multiple people were working in their laptops or reading the times I've been, so it'd probably be a great place to do that. I wish they sold bigger bags of beans, but I didn't ask about it while there, so I probably will next time. The bags they sell off the shelf are a little small if you consume mass amounts of coffee daily like me. Service was great, and a bunch of my wife's favorite music was playing while we were there, so she was happy about that. Not really much else to say, since they were voted best roaster in Ohio. Some guy like me, who is probably just a casual enjoyer of coffee, really enjoyed their drinks. Highly recommend. read more

Hands down the best latte I've ever had! The lemon blueberry scone and delightful service were amazing as well. Super cute place!

Worst coffee in the state. Served cold, no flavor, and takes too long to make. Would not recommend to anyone. Should be shut down for false information. They make horrible coffee if it should even be called coffee. read more

My favorite coffee shop in town! As soon as I walked into the moment I walked out the staff were super friendly and helpful. The owner himself Ben took care of me and patiently answered all of my questions with enthusiasm. It was a cold windy day so I had grabbed a warm chai latte and a slice of Pumpkin bread which was one of many gluten-free options. Both items were some of the best I had ever had so there is no question about their quality or taste. A bit pricier than Dunkin' Donuts or Tim Hortons but 100 times better. The chai was spiced perfectly and the pumpkin bread was to die for. I really enjoyed the sleek coffee shop vibe, it was trendy but also minimalist. The best way I can put it is that it's what Starbucks tries to be but just doesn't achieve. The 30 x 30" tables are the perfect size to place your tablet or laptop alongside a coffee or snack. Also there are more comfortable seating options in the back of the shop as well as outlets easily accessible. It really looked as if Ben and the rest of the team had thought of everything! I stayed for a couple of hours to get some work done and they would check up on me and ask if I needed anything. Music was great though it is a little loud in the front of the shop so if you're looking for a quieter area you might want to go to the back. The layout was super simple with the tables along one side and a long counter on the other side. Easy accessible and just an overall great atmosphere. read more

Favorite place for coffee in BG! Highly recommend and would definitely go back. Coffee is excellent and food is good as well.

Best coffee place in Bowling Green! Every drink I get makes me say "wow", and I've tried them all. Also an excellent selection of gluten free or vegan scones and pastries that taste excellent and have a good crumb. Reasonably priced for the best coffee/teas I've tasted. I recommend an iced matcha latte and lavender scone. Service is always friendly, and the tall-ceilinged space is perfect for locals to study. read more

Excellent espresso, with special espresso ceramic mugs and sparkling water palette cleanser! This guy takes his coffee seriously.

Came across this coffee place on my way to shoot a wedding. I needed to charge my batteries and grab a coffee. The gentleman behind the counter was very sweet. Made my coffee perfectly! read more

Flatlands Coffee - Cinnamon, brown sugar, honey, espresso without milk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Bowling Green, Ohio

Stop in if you're in BG! Atmosphere is pretty standard for a coffee shop, but that isn't really a bad thing. I was in town on business and I enjoy looking for local coffee joints, so I ended up here. The barista was friendly and the coffee was great. And if you're interested in ensuring you get freshly roasted coffee, that's another reason to give Flatlands a go. I live in Missouri but still order whole bean coffee from Flatlands so I can brew it at home. Their online ordering experience is easy and they are always quick to turnaround the order, guaranteeing that the order is freshly roasted. Can't beat that! read more

I started this review several years ago but I guess I'll post it anyway. My friends and I walked in here when they were about to close. I worked at a store once and I know how frustrating that can be. I don't do that normally I promise. The little town of maumee was a having a chocolate fest. The baristas were very excited to show us their single origin chocolate cupcakes with organic raspberry sauce. They gave us some to try for free. There were good. They didn't notice right away when I wanted to order a drink and they felt so bad that they gave it to me for free and made it a large instead of a small. Later as we walked out the door an elderly man stopped us and gave us a blessing. Seriously, I'm not joking. It was an unbelievable experience altogether and just lovely. I hope I make it back there sometime. read more

Our family has been very happy with our move from LA to Ohio, but I've been missing a consistent coffee spot that I took for granted in California. I went to Flatlands this week and had such a wonderful experience: friendly and knowledgeable barista, flavorful coffee and a relaxed, chill environment to get work done. I picked up some beans but will definitely be back for a regular cup! read more

Great customer service. Great atmosphere. Great coffee!!! Flatlands offers a friendly environment with excellent coffee selections and a cozy energetic environment. A great place to meet friends and a great place to work remotely! read more

Flatlands Coffee - a cup of cappuccino on a saucer - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Bowling Green, Ohio

Went there this morning since they were on coffee quest and I was in Perrysburg for the stamp. Wish they were closer, great coffee shop. The young man that took my order was the friendliest barista I've ever encountered. Lots of baked goods and I love scones and they had a nice variety of them and they are very good. I ordered a sugar free vanilla latee, and this is the only coffee shop I've been to that has homemade sugar free syrups. Wish they were closer or would open up a Toledo location and I'd be going there all the time. read more

I was in the area again so how could I not visit Flatlands. Since my last visit to BG, Flatlands has gotten even better -- they now have oat milk in addition to almond and regular, an assortment of yummy baked goods, and new items on the menu like vanilla, matcha, and chai lattes! They also have gluten-free baked goods and keep them on a separate platter (the pumpkin bread is my favorite). One thing that hasn't changed is the experience you get as a customer. Literally every person that I've interacted with has been so friendly in the most genuine way. If I lived locally, I'd be at Flatlands every day because the coffee is what originally got me hooked, but it's people like Allison and the customer experience that has kept me coming back. If you're in the area (or even if you're not), check out Flatlands for an amazing coffee shop experience. read more

I was waiting for Flatlands Coffee to open while I lived in Bowling Green, but I left before it opened. I was so glad to see that this place had opened when I was in town for a friend's wedding. The inside of the cafe was modern and sleek. It was great to see such a diverse group of people enjoying this place (students, families with their kids, etc.). I tried their nitro coffee and I loved that they had this on tap! I would definitely order this again the next time I'm in the area. If I were a student living in Bowling Green, I would be here all the time. The place has a great vibe to it and offers a different type of atmosphere than the current coffee places in this town. Pros: -Nice, simple menu -Quality items -Friendly staff -Clean restrooms -Seating in the front and back of the cafe Cons: -N/A read more

Excellent coffee! Their pour overs are excellent and the iced mocha was also really good. Service was also quick. The employees were friendly and discussed different brewing methods with us.

Visited this coffee shop for the first time a week ago with a friend. As soon as I walked in, the staff behind the counter were super friendly and the atmosphere was very homey.

I will definitely be visiting again! read more

I was recommended by the owner of Two Foxes, fantastic restaurant down the street, to try this place; glad I did. The Flatlands Coffee shop has a great vide; kinda hipster with a side of college town. The gentleman was very friendly, knowledge, and took the time to help me select the right coffee. They specialize in poor overs and lattes or expresso coffees. The process was wonderful to watch and the coffee was outstanding . They use purified water and brew/serve the coffee at the proper temperature. If you are a coffee lover and tired of the main stream coffee joints then you need to get off 75 and swing into downtown Bowling Green and try this place out!!! read more

Several years ago upon entering Flatlands Coffee we had no idea the impact this small town coffee shop would have. The Owner Ben and his wife Cassy along with the Flatlands staff have created a unique, warm, and welcoming retreat from the world. The atmosphere within the beautifully decorated space is full of voices engaged in relationship building. You are welcomed upon your arrival with a smile that immediately makes you feel like your family. The staff over the years all welcome their customers with this approach whether your new or whether you've been a patron since the doors opened. The coffee selections are always unique and amazing. Flatlands focus is in their pour-over choices and the coffee choices are constantly changing so you are always gaining a new experience and taste. They have the standard espresso and coffee choices if you need a standard and regular choice. Recently Flatlands began roasting their own beans for retail sale. This is a great venture into a new space for Flatlands and so far they are exceeding expectations. If you are looking for a different and unique coffee experience you should give Flatlands a try! read more

Show Flatlands some love! I travel and work in coffee shops for my job, and it is safe to say that this shop is one of my favorites that I have ever been to. Flatlands has it all: good coffee, aesthetically-pleasing, great service, plenty of space, and a fun location. Whether studying or just meeting some friends, this place is perfect. I would highly suggest this shop on all fronts, but what really sets them apart is their owner. He is incredibly passionate about his job and about his coffee, and he loves to see other people be passionate about coffee as well. He welcomes each customer with a smile, and with each drink that he brings out, he explains where the beans came from and who grew them. I have never seen anyone so passionate about coffee, and it is really special to be a part of that. If you are in the area or just passing through, you have to check this place out! read more

My family and I were in town over the weekend for the tractor pulls. On Saturday afternoon, we decided to get out of the heat and get some coffee. The place was busy and short handed. The young man who took our orders was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. He also was our barista. My daughter and I each ordered iced pour overs. They were amazing! Iced pour overs are a rare find. They do them well. My wife and daughter's boyfriend each ordered iced dulce lattes and they were good also. I will stop again next time we are in Bowling Green. read more

Fantastic little coffee shop with award winning coffee that's almost art. Friendly and warm atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop.

MY FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP! I've never had a bad drink at flatlands. Everything is delicious and I get something different every time. Even their pastries are on point. Cleveland and Columbus are cities I frequent a LOT in Ohio, and Flatlands beats any local shops I've been to in either city. (And I've been to a LOT in both) They definitely care about their craft. read more

This place is hands down the best coffee shop I have been to and the customer service is exceptional. The owner cares so much about each customer who walks through the door and personally delivered our beverages to our table after describing each drink perfectly. I have never enjoyed an experience at a coffee shop more. This place is a must. The scones are also to die for and they are made by his beautiful wife who also puts so much love and thought into each baked good. Wonderful location, fantastic service, scrumptious baked goods and out of this world beverages. I will be a customer for life. read more

While coffee shops are commonplace in college towns, most college towns are not as lucky as Bowling Green, Ohio is. Flatlands is a coffee shop so good that it could hold its own in high-end coffee Meccas like Seattle, San Francisco, and both Portlands. The vibe of the shop is pretty standard coffee shop fare: sparse, white, modern, the odd potted plant, exposed light bulbs, coffee paraphernalia and merchandise, local art for sale, and vinyl streaming through the speakers. The seating is extremely comfortable and inviting, however, so that is a plus that many coffee shops actually struggle with. Their baristas are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, but it is their skill and bean curation that really sets them apart. I have had coffee in all the great shops of all the great coffee cities, and the pour-over cups I have gotten at Flatlands are as full-flavored, delicate, complex, and just plain brilliant as all but Slate in Seattle, and even then, Flatlands is neck-and-neck. They know their roasters and their farms and select only the best beans, and their brewing technique is second to none, as the results speak for themselves. While I usually judge a coffee shop based on its drip or ideally its pour-overs (which, as I said, are beyond excellent here), their espresso drinks are varied and curated as well, and they let the coffee shine rather than over-adulterating it with cream or sugar. Besides more inventive decor to set the space apart visually, there is nothing this place can do to improve, and that is a very minor personal nitpick. This is coffee nirvana in a place no one would ever expect. BGSU students should count their blessings, for the touch of the Coffee God is present in all this shop does. read more

Flatlands coffee is hands down the best coffee I've had. Roasted fresh and local and then prepared with attention to detail. If you want an astounding cup of coffee, check this place out.

I was immediately impressed by Flatlands Coffee. I was passing through on a Saturday morning (surprisingly empty for a college town!) and the barista gave us a friendly hello. We had a hard time finding it since the sign out front is on the ground. But Flatlands has a wonderful atmosphere and I could spend hours in here drawing or grinding out work if I lived closer. They didnt have quite as many drink options, but they had different beverages than coffee too, which is nice. I think they are a bit pricier than most places ($5 for a 12 oz latte). But I think the price is worth the luxurious space, exquisite decorating, and soft music playing on the record player. Stop by if you have the time! read more

Flatlands is a modern, laid back, welcoming coffee shop in downtown Bowling Green, Ohio. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the environment is quiet yet just enough noise, and the coffee is delicious. Their menu is basic in the sense that you get quality coffee with a few options to enhance it. This however, gives them the opportunity to perfect their signature drinks. Overall, this is just the right vibe and options that one could ask for. The only complaint would be the bare seating without cushions as your bottom starts to hurt after sitting in it for a while. read more
