Emporium Wines & Underdog Café
233 Xenia Ave, Yellow Springs, OH
Crema's Take
“This café doubles as a curated wine shop with an impressively thoughtful selection, making it as much a destination for natural wines and small-batch bottles as for espresso—rare enough that wine lovers and coffee enthusiasts actually want to visit the same place. The space itself is a maximalist love letter to local culture, packed with handwritten menus, used books, rotating local art, board games, and enough character that you'll want to linger whether you're here for a breakfast burrito or to browse wines. It's the kind of place Yellow Springs locals fiercely protect because it genuinely functions as the town's cultural living room.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Not only an excellent café with lovely gluten free pastry options and great breakfast, but a cultural hub of Yellow Springs. From the local writing group, wine tastings, live music, to poetry readings, it offers such a valuable gathering space. I’m glad it’s here.
Great coffee & atmosphere! The staff are very friendly and move swiftly with preparing orders. The atmosphere is cozy, warm & welcoming. There are books available to read if you choose. I was especially fond of the art displayed around the shop. Lots of vegan & dairy free…
