Gluten free
J David H.

If your going to have one local coffee shop in town they better bring it! Well in this case Kofenya Coffee does a good, not great job in my single experience. Located in Uptown Oxford with off street parking by meter. The area was mostly debris free. My visit on a Sunday during brunch and Miami University move in late August. A line was out the door. The set up is similar to other coffee houses where you walk up and order and a case of bakery items are in a case. The space is large with lots of tables allowing for students to study, because make no mistake this is a huge Miami haunt. Service was friendly and efficient from the young female staff. Cappuccinos were ordered with a few bakery items and breakfast sandwich. The prices seem similar to other coffee houses. Payment is at the counter. My coffee was pretty good, the avocado toast was meh. My breakfast sandwich with bacon & egg above average. A banana pudding was meh. It was gluten free. A gluten free chocolate donut was good. Others at my table enjoyed what we shared a bit better than I did. A 3.5 seems to fit best and rounding up with strong customer service and above average coffee. Also don't miss the merch.

A cute college town coffee shop. The baristas were so sweet! There was a lot of seating inside as well as outside. Also very close to a picnic area!

Our barista was a sweetheart! The inside of the coffee shop was a little busy, with finals week, but it was super cute and inviting. Coffee was amazing & so were the overnight oats!

Great selection of hot and cold drinks. Several options you wouldn't see or find at your typical coffee shop. I ended up just getting an iced mocha but still loved it. Prices were very reasonable and didn't make me go broke. They also had several local artist merchandise for purchase and various pastries from surrounding shops. I got a vegan pumpkin chocolate chip donut that was absolutely incredible. Would definitely stop back on my next visit to oxford.

I've got a big bone to pick with Kofenya. Been a long time fan of this place for its drinks, food, and vibes. Over the years though, the breakfast wraps in specific have continued to get smaller and smaller. I paid $7.50 for this wrap that was tiny. Total sham. Total waste of money.

I would probably say this coffee shop is a must stop for coffee lovers. From the minute you walk through the door a lovely coffee aroma fills the air. The ambiance, good coffee (they also offer adult beverages) and food menu all provide a colorful coffeehouse vibe.

Avocado Toast

Kofenya is the perfect college coffee shop. All the employees I've talked to are super nice and chatty, and the aesthetic in there is wonderful! I really like the cute dishes they present the food on as well. Although the avocado toast I bought was a little overpriced, (but let's be honest, when is avocado toast ever NOT overpriced in a hip coffee shop?) I still thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. Seating is pretty limited which is a bit of a bummer, but it's understandable due to COVID and social distance guidelines.

I moved to Dayton from Oakland, CA in July '22 and this was by far the best latte I've had since I've been out here. I dedicated years of my life to the coffee world (barista, roasting, and managing) and it was like drinking a latte I made myself. I got a hot caramel oat latte and the milk was steamed perfectly. Perfect temp. Perfect micro foam (especially for a non dairy milk.) Espresso was pulled beautifully it was sweet and nutty. I should have asked for the baristas name but the guy with the beard is an absolute treasure I hope he's paid well. It's so hard to find someone who treats espresso like that (3/22 around 3:45pm)

Brunch.

The historic home where the shop is located is beautifully renovated and decorated. There were several rooms inside to sit and enjoy and we appreciated that there were games and crayons available for our toddler to enjoy. The various rooms also offer some privacy if you are looking for a quiet place to work or a space to sit a while. There are also a nice variety of couches and tables with chairs. The barista was friendly and we enjoyed our drinks! I got a peanut butter cup latte, but ordered it half sweet and it was delicious. My husband ordered a caramel pumpkin spice which sounded extremely sweet, but he said it wasn't overbearing and he liked it a lot. We sat for a bit but then took our drinks to go and walked down High Street, which was a lovely adventure on a fall morning. It looked like this spot hosts a church service in the larger upper room on the second floor in the evening, and has space for other church-related or community events as well. The shop seemed welcoming to all despite doubling as a church at certain times. Overall I loved our visit, and we hope to be back on our next visit to the Oxford area!

Bagel and Deli is an Oxford experience that I think is a must-do at least once when you were in the…read morearea! If you know what you're in for, it's a super fun experience. When you walk past the shop on a weekend, you will see that there are tons of people crowded outside. These are people waiting for their order. It's a good idea to look at the menu ahead of time, but they do have paper menus available for when you are waiting in line. You enter the shop and go through the queue, order, and then return back outside to wait. Our toddler loved to look at everything inside the shop - the walls and ceiling are covered in colorful papers, photos, and paraphernalia. This does make the whole restaurant a little dusty and sticky, but that is all part of the vibe. It took us about 15 minutes to get through the line to order and then about 20 minutes waiting for the food. It was a beautiful day and spirits were high as everyone waited outside together. Now for what everyone was waiting for... Bagel and Deli sandwiches are unique because they are steamed. They are so melty, warm, soft, and delicious! Because they are warm and most of the sandwiches have fresh toppings like lettuce or tomato, it is a good idea to eat them immediately and not let them sit for a while. We enjoyed ours in the little park in downtown Oxford that had ample seating options. It was a beautiful way to take in a gorgeous fall day. Both my husband and I really enjoyed our sandwiches! The toppings are so creative and there's something for everyone. If you can't find one on the huge menu, you can always make your own too. My only complaint was that I couldn't decide between sandwiches because there were too many options that sounded good. For as crowded and busy as they are, the staff is super at getting all of the orders right and handling substitutions if they are out of a certain kind of bagel. I enjoyed the Blonde Bombshell and my husband got the Mile High Club. Interestingly, I don't think his sandwich was on the online or paper menu, but there was a listing for it inside the restaurant, which is how he decided to get it. Both were delicious! I believe that there is an order online option and they are good at making sure it is only available at times where they can handle it. For example, we visited during family weekend, so it was not available. I might try this next time if we are in more of a rush, but on a day where we had nowhere to be and wanted to enjoy High Street, this was the perfect stop. My husband and son really enjoyed their first visit and we all look forward to being back!

3.5 stars. I love a…read moregood bagel and Bagel & Deli Shop has been on my list for years since they popped up on my TikTok. I finally tried it last night and it was good and I'm glad I tried it. I can see the reason for the hype especially if I'm a drunk college student. The employee was friendly and offered an opinion when I asked for one which I appreciated. The shop definitely has a vibe and a charm that has collected over the last 50 years.
