Started in 2011, Deeper Roots Coffee sought to offer a third place in the community for people to connect and drink good coffee.

This is a perfect place to create new connections and support community and good coffee.  

Collective Espresso established itself in its location in Over-The-Rhine as a small, but special coffee company. The founders, Dave Hart and Dustin Miller, opened the shop wanting to create pure coffee for the community to enjoy. They have also opened locations in the Northside neighborhood and in Newport, Kentucky, that welcome everyone in the community to drink coffee and connect with each other.  

Started as a community gathering spot for O’Bryonville and surrounding neighborhoods, Bean & Barley continues to serve coffee, pastries and alcoholic beverages.

Carabello Coffee is located in Newport, Kentucky, and has its own local roastery two blocks from the cafe. The Carabellos started it as a small business out of their home with green coffee beans and have transformed into a coffee shop that promotes community and sustainability. It offers a variety of drinks and pastries for its customers to enjoy as well as its coffee beans and syrups. It also has analog hours where customers are encouraged to connect with each other rather than focused on phones or computers.
