Love all the locations for Roebling Books and Coffee, but this is my first time trying the food! The coffee is always great. Our breakfast sandwiches came out so fresh and delicious. The challah bread it comes on is delicious. I love the atmosphere of sitting in a book shop while having breakfast. Seating is a little sparse at this location, but worth going!

Another local bookshop (Joy & Matt's) actually recommended that we check out Roebling Books & Coffee. After reading these reviews, I wish I had gotten a coffee and food but we had just eaten. Definitely have to go back for that! The bookstore layout is uniquely different. It made me a little anxious at first, trying to find where to go when you walk in. Deep breath and telling my social anxiety to chill the eff out. Then it was super cool. I've ever been to a book store that sprawls the building with cafe seating as well. Laid back and relaxing vibes. We got 2 books and had a little bit of sticker shock, but what the heck to support small business.

When I tell you this is the best Tumeric Gold Latte with oat milk I ever had, I mean it. Heavy on the ginger in all the best ways and maintaining the flavor while still tasting the espresso. I would make the drive to it for that alone. However, other things to note:Great customer service - helpful in selecting the items, brought the drink to me, didn't rush us out of the place when they were closing (and I would not have blamed them if they did)All the cozy vibes - gorgeous historical architecture details with books in all nooks and cranniesGreat book selection (bonus - stickers)Free street parkingWill definitely be back

Yes!! I Love that one of my favorite Covington neighborhood coffee shops has opened this spot in Dayton, KY! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the beloved Lil's has partnered with and "reopened" in this space. While we don't get to enjoy her bagels anymore, we have a whole menu of deliciousness to drool over. On a recent visit we ordered our go-to Roebling coffees: cold brew for me because it's always so smooth and the turmeric gold latte for my husband. They were perfect as always. As for our food, my husband ordered the Lillian, a sandwich he'd had before on a Lil's bagel but now it's served on a challah roll instead. Still very good! My toast, the Alice, was also delicious! I love trout to begin with and their trout salad with pickled carrots and wasabi roe on seeded sourdough was something I didn't realize I was missing but now won't be able to go without it for very long. I was also so happy to see this location already so busy! It looks like the community have already enveloped Roebling and Lil's and I'm here for it!! The baristas and other staff were also unfazed and were friendly, welcoming, and getting everyone's order out super timely. Now on to the space itself. It's absolutely beautiful inside. Plenty of tables and chairs in the front for dining plus outdoor tables/chairs for when it gets warmer. The actual bookstore portion of the store is dripping with charm. Specializing in the sale of used books, this location of Roebling seemed to have quite a diverse collection of genres and authors. This location has already garnered itself a spot on our weekend rotation of neighborhood coffee shop spots so it's only a matter of time before we'll be back! Plus, I can't wait to work my way down the whole Lil's menu!

The third installation of this fantastic local bookstore, this time in Dayton and with cozy places to have lunch. I really love Roebling books and try to stop by weekly. It makes me extra happy that they've expanded to Newport and now Dayton. If they don't have what you are looking for, they will order it. OR, you can use bookshop.org and order a book from them that way.Either way, I think it's super important to support our local bookshops and Roebling is really giving us their best in atmosphere, useable community space, coffee, small bites, and more. Love, love, love!

Wonderful food, wine, coffee, and tea bistro in Dayton, KY. I instantly fell in love the moment I walked in. There's something for everyone here. I'm looking forward to trying everything on their menu. Za'atar artichoke fries are a must. Can't wait to go back!

Very cool inside with lots of books & local small gifts. Outdoor patio in front and on the side- side patio had large picnic tables that were great for working at. Staff was very friendly and recommended drinks/food and helped with the menu as it was my first time there. Almond milk ice latte- delicious, smooth coffee flavor BEC with chive cream cheese- recommended by staff as one of their favorites. Very fresh ingredients, sausage had a bit of a spice but that & the cream cheese were the best part

I love this location! YUMMY food, DELICIOUS drinks, and the loveliest ambiance/feel as you peruse through the different worlds of literature. I love the different seating options here, and the restroom is so beautifully decorated, yet has a homey feel. It makes me feel like I'm at a loved ones home, having a delicious bite to eat and a soothing drink, as I find a cozy spot to get lost in a good book. All the goods at this place! Definitely recommend stopping by this cute coffeeshop-bookstore.

Full drink menu, baked goodies from a variety of local places (North South to name one), and lots of cute trinkets, stickers, and loveliness. I had a dirty chai and of all the local ones I'm pretty sure it is like my favorite and The bEll - delicious toasty treat!!!They aren't completely done finessing the space but it will look great when they're done. Meanwhile, there are a couple good places to engage in some solo self care snuggle up and enjoy your beverage. The front has several tables and chairs to eat, drink, and chat. Personally, I'm ultra excited by the outdoor seating and can't wait to go back. Gloria would absolutely be gushing.

I went here for the first time this weekend, and I loved this place! My daughter and I needed a coffee, and she had been here before. It's a quaint, bookstore with a wonderful selection to browse. I gravitated to the children's section since I'm a K-4 ESOL teacher. They had so many books that I wanted to buy for my classroom! We enjoyed our Chai Lattes in one of three small rooms where you could sit, read, and/or meet. Loved that they had a variety of milks to choose from. Plus, the person taking orders was cheerful and personable. One note: the flooring was uneven in places that could cause someone to trip.
