We often talk about bourbon trails and margarita miles, but those who prefer a caffeinated cuppa shouldn’t be excluded from the food trail fun. In the Buckeye State, those who delight in a great cup of coffee will be buzzing on the FC Java Trail, a collection of a dozen deserving coffee shops, bakeries, and delis in Ohio sure to satisfy your every caffeine craving.
For many folks, coffee is an inextricable, non-negotiable part of the morning routine. It’s a jolt of caffeine that kick starts the day for busy professionals, studying students, and tired parents. It’s not so much a drink as it is a necessity, like water or vitamins.

But for others, coffee is more than just a hot, caffeinated beverage; it is a ritual and an experience – one many people enjoy and look forward to each day.
