CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Rōst Coffee has established itself as a specialty coffee destination in downtown Chillicothe, combining locally roasted coffee with a relaxed atmosphere and a focus on community.
Located at 97 E. Second Street, Rōst Coffee specializes in small-batch, ethically sourced coffee and has been serving the area since 2013. The business roasts its own coffee, placing an emphasis on fresh, specialty-grade beans and carefully crafted drinks.
Beyond the coffee itself, Rōst offers customers a warm and comfortable setting inside a historic downtown building. The shop features multiple seating options, including armchairs, giving customers a place to meet, work or simply spend some time with a cup of coffee.
One of our writers visited the establishment and recommended the hot Cubano!

The Chillicothe location is also connected to The Fort Collective, providing visitors an opportunity to browse boutique retail shops and see a co-working space while visiting the coffee shop.
Owner Trent Fannin has emphasized Rōst’s role as more than simply a place to grab a drink. The business has worked to create a local gathering place for coffee enthusiasts and has offered community-centered activities such as coffee brewing classes.

Rōst’s presence has also expanded beyond Chillicothe, with the business listing locations in both Chillicothe and Circleville.
With more than a decade in operation, Rōst Coffee continues to blend specialty coffee, local roasting and community involvement as part of its presence in Southern Ohio.
