Poppets Coffee & Tea — 2nd Street Market, Dayton

Market Energy in a Cup

Open during 2nd Street Market hours, Poppets serves espresso drinks, chai, matcha, and a rotating selection of seasonal lattes to shoppers and vendors alike. The stand’s efficiency is legendary: skilled baristas turn out perfect shots amid the bustle while keeping conversation personal.

Tea & Specialty Drinks

Beyond coffee, Poppets offers an impressive tea lineup — from Earl Grey to green jasmine — and creative iced options for summer visits. Try their honey-lavender latte or a dirty chai for a signature sip that pairs beautifully with Market pastries.

Ambience & Experience

Because the café lives inside 2nd Street Market, the vibe is electric: live music, artisan booths, and the smell of baked bread from neighboring stalls. Grab a drink to accompany your shopping, or pause at one of the communal tables to people-watch and soak in the weekend energy.

Community Integration

Poppets embodies what Dayton does best — local collaboration. Beans come from regional roasters, syrups are often house-made, and partnerships with other Market vendors create limited-time drink specials. It’s a coffee stand that functions like a community handshake.
