A Fairborn local’s guide to the Miami Valley cold brew coffee scene
Searching for real cold brew near Dayton, Ohio usually starts the same way: a hot afternoon, a craving for something smooth and bold, and a map full of shops that treat cold brew coffee as an afterthought. If that sounds familiar, good news. The Miami Valley has a genuine cold brew coffee scene, and the heart of it sits on Broad Street in Fairborn.
Cold Brew Coffee Starts on Broad Street in Fairborn
Conflooence by Fifty5 Rivers is a grab-and-go coffee shop at 644 N Broad St in Fairborn, just minutes from Wright-Patterson AFB. It was voted Best Independent Coffee Shop in 2025, and cold brew coffee is not a side item here. It is the whole point.
The lineup features four named cold brew coffee offerings, each brewed at the Fairborn production facility (Fifty5 Rivers Cold Brew): Connection (a three-bean blend), Introspection (a four-bean blend), Cafinition (single origin), and Decafinition (single origin, decaffeinated). Every one is available Still for a classic, clean, bold cup, or River Rushed for a smoother, richer pour with a creamy nitrogen finish.
This guide covers where to find crafted cold brew coffee in Fairborn and the Greater Dayton area, whether you want it poured fresh, sealed in a can to go or in a ready to drink pouch.
