Boston Stoker Coffee Roasters

Boston Stoker know coffee! If you’re looking for a great cup, look no further. They have a cool drive thru, too! I just wouldn’t order a pour over from the drive thru, unless you really don’t like the person behind you, haha!

Cute place, decent (if pricey) drinks, but it definitely didn’t work for our 4 person business meeting. The eclectic seating more suits 2 people groups or studying — they have a nice long bar with electric outlets for your laptop. Didn’t notice free wifi, but they probably have it, given the computer-​friendliness. Parking can be sticky, with Subway, Great Clips, and Hotheads sharing the same lot. They also have a drive-​thru, which is great if you’re in your car, not so much if you’re stuck inside at the counter. Probably won’t go back.

Great coffee blends, delicious pastries. Got a Carmel Latte that comes with three shots espresso standard. Great combination of bitter and smooth sweetness. The pastries were very fresh with crispy flaky exterior and a smooth almond butter inside. The service was fast and super friendly. Check it out!

Oh my word, love this place. Stumbled upon it by accident while *cringe* looking for a Starbucks. But this place was so much better, and I love supporting a small business. Fantastic, strong coffee. Ordered their signature Boston Grogg Latte and it helped me make the drive back to Detroit without falling asleep. Strong and rich and delicious. Decent speed of service, too, considered they were short handed as it was Memorial Day. I make the trip from Detroit to Cincinnati often, so this will definitely be a frequent stop for me.

Very high quality for a local small town coffee shop. Stop by whenever I’m in town and I’m grateful they’re here. Really like their coffee — not burned and charred like some large chains I could mention. Pretty good pastries too. Nice place to hang out and lounge too.

Grabbed a dark roast coffee expecting something bold and it was far from it. Tasted watered down. Should’ve gone up the street to Starbucks.

Others have mentioned how friendly this place is and I have to echo that. The first time I walked into this coffee shop I could have sworn the barista mistook me for someone she knew. She didn’t know me from Adam and yet her greeting was of one you’d expect to get from an old friend you haven’t seen in awhile. Upon many return visits I finally realized this is how they greet everyone. I found this little shop while working in Tipp City. I needed to get out and find a place to grab a coffee and a snack, pull my laptop out, and call into a conference call. This was perfect. There are little sectioned off areas where you can find a cozy spot to have casual semi-​private meetings or you can pull up to the laptop bar, plug into the many available power outlets and work away while you enjoy a nice hot coffee and a pastry. I took advantage of this many times while working on that project and when traveling anywhere north of Dayton today, rarely have I taken a trip where I did not stop in here at least for just a cup of coffee. So onto the coffee… I’m not into specialty coffees. I like good robust dark coffee and am picky about what the actual coffee tastes like. There’s no covering up bad coffee with cream, sugar, or flavored syrups… looking at you Starbucks. Boston Stokers’ dark roast is exactly what I look for in a coffee. Possibly a little harsh for most people but if you appreciate a good dark roast, try it. They have so many different roast levels and flavorings though they should be able to satisfy just about any coffee craving. They also make some really great smoothies if you are into those. I’m not sure if they bake their own pastries/​bread/​muffins or not, but they don’t taste like they are shipped in from somewhere else. They are moist and flavorful, not dry and taste like they were just pulled from a pre-​packaged box… again looking at you Starbucks. Overall I love this place but don’t expect to get in and get out quickly. Even their drive-​through can be painfully slow at times. All I can say is while it might take longer, it is worth the wait.

Very good place for tea and coffee. I always like to come in and relax and sit for a while at coffee shops and this is the perfect place to do so. This place is very quiet and peaceful and the workers are very friendly! The only «negative» (barely even a bad thing, just a misunderstanding!) thing that has happened to me is that I asked for a cold Earl Grey tea and got a hot one, but I’m not complaining because it was still great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone just stopping by in Troy or any local people who haven’t stopped in yet.

truly GREAT coffee and café. This one was right off I-​75, too.
Excellent service. Nice pastry. Wish I smoked cigars because they have a display case if them since they started as a smoke shop a generation ago.
LOved it

Right off I 75. What a welcome relief from an endless line of Starbucks between here and Florida. Excellent coffee and nice place for a road weary stretch.

good place to sit and meet friends though it is a bit small and busy. they train their workers right so you get the best drinks possible (delicious) without impatience or snobbery. you can pick up cigars, coffee grounds, or even chocolate covered coffee beans in store. i’ve enjoyed all three at home! i wouldn’t go for the pastries though.

Holy cow. This is likely the best mocha I’ve ever had.
I stopped here on my way up to Detroit for a business trip. I actually stumbled on it by accident. I got off at the exit to hit a Starbucks there and saw this instead. I much prefer local places, so I gave it a try. I’m so glad I did! They were extremely helpful and friendly, and their coffee is excellent.
I liked it so much that I made a point to stop there on my way home at the end of the week. This time I ordered a pour over coffee (they will do Chemex, french press, etc. if you prefer something besides their regular fresh drip coffee). I was asked which coffee I would like, and they took me over to their wall of beans to choose. I didn’t get her name, but she was super helpful giving me info and advice on which bean I would like best. She was right. It was awesome (and no more expensive than the slightly burnt tasting coffee I would have gotten at Starbucks).
I will DEFINITELY be stopping here any time I pass through Troy, and I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area.

They don’t accept tips, so there’s another buck in my pocket! The internet is spotty, but they said it’s the provider and there’s nothing they can do about it. They also like to play tejano music, which makes me think they have a deal with hot head burritos next door to get you in the mood for mexican food. The pastries are pretty meh, so I just stick with the coffee. They also sell cigars, coffee beans, have comfy chairs, a chess set, and have The Times, WSJ, and other papers on hand. I’ve lived in big cities most of my life, so I’m picky about coffee shops, that’s why they get the «A-​OK»

If available, I would gladly buy stock in Boston Stoker. The chain would flouish even more so outside of Dayton, the quintessential suburban city. Still, Stoker superbly executes a concept that is rarely found in strip malls. Unlike Starbucks they actually know how to make a cappucino. This Boston Stoker is a particularly clean, welcoming store with plugs everywhere and a myriad of seating. This store is also amenable to those wanting a quick cup of joe for carry-​out (or drive-​through).

If you are looking for a low key place to grab a cup of great coffee, this is definitely the place to go.
Boston Stoker is quiet, and the coffee is consistently good throughout all the locations. However, I’m quite fond of the evening staff at this particular location. They are fun, friendly, courteous, energetic, and passionate about their jobs, so much so that I frequently return, and schedule many of my meetings and meet-​ups there, despite it being one of the locations furthest from my house.
