    The local

    My favorite part about Oberlin! (Other than visiting my brother) As a San Francisco resident, a 16oz cold brew would be $5 easily--here it's $2.25 and much better quality. The drinks and food at The Local are inventive and tasty, and I look forward to coming here with each visit. The underground space is also perfect for studying. I recommend the rosemary bagel with scallion spread and the cold brew with lavender flavoring.

    A great little coffee shop hidden underneath a bike store. They serve pastries and bagels too. Depending on the time and day will determine weather the shop is busy or full of college students. It also keeps your coffee cup there for you if your a regular!

    Just waited 45 minutes in the snow waiting for 2 coffees. It's safe to say they've lost my business.

    Blue Rooster Bakehouse - Oberlin, Ohio Driving through…read moreOberlin, I was looking for a good cup of coffee and decided to stop in at Blue Rooster Bakehouse. The menu is written on a chalkboard, and there's a display case showing off all their fresh pastries and treats. I was hoping for something savory, and the barista mentioned the only option was a cheese croissant. It wasn't shaped like a traditional croissant, but the dough was flaky and buttery, filled with jalapeño and cream cheese, and finished with a sprinkle of salt on top -- surprisingly delicious. I ordered a Doppio, which I later learned is a double shot of espresso. It was strong, smooth, and paired perfectly with my pastry. I also picked up a slice of gluten-free banana bread for my husband. They had about four gluten-free/vegan options available, and everything looked freshly baked. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the space itself was cozy, seating around 15 people. However, accessibility could be an issue -- the narrow layout and tight walkway would make it difficult for anyone using a wheelchair to navigate. My total came to around $12, which felt reasonable for a specialty coffee and baked goods treat. Overall, it's a charming little spot with quality coffee and friendly service -- a place I'd return to when I'm in the area and want to splurge a little.

    Wow. The difficulty…read morein a place like this lies in the narrowing down and decision making on what to get. If I could, I would have gotten one of everything. We finally settled on oatmeal cookie (man it's so good), fig/goat cheese/pear pastry, berry pastry, americano, and a chai latte with oat milk. We had a blast eating outdoors at the picnic bench, nice breeze even on an August morning! If we're ever in town again, this will be our Go To spot for sure.
