Enjoy High-Quality Coffee and Tea

BREW Coffee Bar is a locally owned and operated specialty coffee shop near the University of Toledo, offering an array of high-quality, ethically sourced coffee from Zingerman’s Coffee out of Ann Arbor. With a reputation for roasting small batches of beans and continually cupping them to ensure the best flavor possible, BREW prides itself on its commitment to excellence. In addition, tea lovers will find plenty of options with the extensive hot and iced tea selection from Rishi. BREW has quickly become a popular spot for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere and central location for a work break, business meeting, or after-dinner coffee and dessert – not to mention their classic Bagel Bomb bursting with a cream cheese base with roasted red pepper and scallions, or the Breakfast Roll filled with scrambled eggs, cream cheese, and sausage.

Flying Rhino Coffee is proud to be a part of downtown Toledo since 2005. As the original coffee roasters, they have become known for their one-stop shop where they roast, package, brew and sell all their products from a tiny warehouse in the beloved Warehouse District. The public is always welcome to pop by the roastery for a cup of coffee or to pick up freshly roasted beans and filters. Flying Rhino also offers a selection of natural teas and tasty beverages, as well as coffee accessories and brewing equipment. So come by and explore the wide variety of locally made pastries, desserts, and food items offered by Bagel Box Toledo, 7 Little Cupcakes, Vegan Taste, So Sweet Lebanese & French Pastries, Tiger Bakery, Latin Cravings Factory, and Sarnies, all while taking advantage of the free WiFi.

Plus, now you can enjoy the convenience of ordering online and having your favorite items delivered right to your doorstep the following business day.
