Reviews for Wiggin Street Coffee in Gambier, OH
We love this little coffee shop - it's a cozy little space for the highly educated students to get work done and mingle with the... students. The coffee is good and the eats are yummy. Disappointed it's not open on my trip to Gambier- it's a College campus thecoffee shop should be open for students and parents to work. Read more
The River Road Coffeehouse journey to the campus of Kenyon College began in 2011 when the Formans met with Middle Ground Café... owners, Joel and Margaret Gunderson. The popular coffee and food establishment resided in the center of Gambier and enjoyed astrong student customer base. The Gundersons also owned the neighboring Village Inn and were interested in focusing theirenergies on that business. The Formans were concerned that the significant ?food? focus of the existing business would make itdifficult for a replacement coffeehouse to enjoy success. Mark and David also felt strongly that specific efforts would benecessary to emphasize the ?local? orientation of the business. The dialogue with the Gundersons was re-opened in early 2012and an assets purchase agreement was finalized in April of 2012. ?Wiggin Street Coffee opened in August of 2012 just prior tothe beginning of the 2012-2013 academic year. A complete renovation of the kitchen and service area was accomplished tohighlight the coffee-orientation of the new business. The new La Marzocco Linea espresso machine was located in close proximityto the front counter to enhance barista interaction with customers and a high-end coffee and tea brew bar was located adjacentto the existing ?pick-up? window. While the menu emphasized espresso-based drinks, coffee and tea?it was also important tooffer high-quality pastry and a limited selection of food items that were sourced from local vendors. Affectionately dubbed?Wiggle Ground? by the KC students, the coffeehouse has enjoyed continued success as a supporter of ?coffee and community?. Although still in its early stages of development, Wiggin Street Coffee hopes to continue a long tradition of offering communitymembers and students a place to gather and discuss the issues of the day in the tradition of European Coffeehouses whileenjoying outstanding specialty coffee sourced from small farms and cooperatives with a tradition of excellence!

Wonderful coffee shop in Gambier. The staff are always friendly and nice. Great drinks, smoothies & pastries.
A different name from when I remember going here, but I'm sure it still has the best coffee and atmosphere as it always has had.... This is where most people come to study and also talk to friends/just hang out. Perfect atmosphere for a small town collegeenvironment and worth spending time in if you're in the area. Read more
