Elliott Coffee
825 6th Ave, Dayton, KY
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Dayton, this espresso-focused café has earned raving loyalty from Cincinnati-area coffee enthusiasts who call it the best they've found in the region. The warmth here runs as deep as the coffee—handmade ceramic cups add genuine coziness, thoughtful baristas guide you through both traditional and creatively crafted drinks, and the pace invites you to actually linger over pour overs and pastries. It's the kind of place where competitive pricing, excellent light food, and a genuine sense of care make each visit feel like discovering a local treasure rather than just grabbing coffee.”

I’ve been living in Cincinnati for two years and have tried many coffee shops, but this café truly stands out. The coffee is absolutely delicious — the best I’ve had in Cincinnati and Kentucky! The staff are incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming, especially Bernadette, who makes every visit even more enjoyable. I love pairing my coffee with their egg and cheese bagel, and the café offers both cozy indoor seating and a lovely outdoor area. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!
I always look for local coffee shops when I travel. During our short stay in northern Kentucky, we started each morning at Elliot Coffee. Calling it a delight barely captures the atmosphere we experienced. We walked into a small building filled with a sense of nostalgia and comfort. The baristas were singing happy birthday to a friend. Regulars were greeted with warmth and full hugs. The team at the register introduced themselves to us each day we visited. It felt like a personal invitation to the “celebration of ordinary days”. They offered the garage as a warm space to wait and brought our food and coffee out to us. Everything felt intentional and made with care. It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of our trip. We are grateful for Elliot Coffee. Highly recommended!
Literally 5 stars all across the board, the staff was so extremely kind and wonderful! The food was delicious, coffee prices were so much cheaper than anticipated, they updated us so many times about our order and we’re just the kindest people! The vibe was wonderful and adorable, I will definitely be back!! Thank you so much for the amazing experience.🤎🤎🤎
Adorable shop, friendly baristas, excellent coffee. The handmade ceramics add such a cozy element and I loved that every single one was unique. I left with beans from some great roasters, too. Loved the variety. I've worked in the coffee industry for many years and have been excited to visit this cafe. It did not disappoint. Absolutely adore the flowers around the cafe as well. Thank you Avery and Timmy for the wonderful service! I left feeling as if I'd made new friends. I'll be back!
Nice selection of coffee drinks including some incentive crafted ones. All the coffee drinks we tried were very good! The employees were incredibly warm and helpful. Would return for the service alone. The seating area was unique but dog friendly. There is a garage like seating area inside snd then a mishmash of seating outside including picnic tables. Very busy on a weekend, as to be expected. About a 30 minute wait to place and order and about 15-20 for food/coffee. The price was as to be expected for a small business in a metropolitan suburb. I think we spent about 25 for 2 drinks and two breakfast sandwiches. My only minor complaint is that I was not a big fan of the breakfast sandwich. It was on a bagel that felt a bit greasy for some reaspn. The bacon was a little fatty and thick for my personal preference. However, there was also a range of pastries and bagels I would enjoy next time!
