From locally roasted beans to incredible gelato, allergy-friendly menus to call-ahead ordering, you’re sure to find your new favorite coffee shop somewhere on this list.

To make it easier to locate a great cup of joe in your area, the list has been divided by region :: North, Central/Downtown, East, West, and South/NKY.
