Coffee Hub Xenia

What Coffee Hub Xenia does

Coffee Hub is a privately held specialty coffee shop chain founded in July 2017 by Cynthia "Cymp" Stemple in Xenia, Ohio. Operating under the DBA "Coffee Hub Ohio," the company has expanded from a single downtown Xenia location to five retail locations across the Dayton, Ohio metro area (Xenia, Beavercreek, Centerville, Waynesville, and Dayton Metro Library). The Beavercreek location is operated as a 100% gluten-free and Celiac-friendly cafe in partnership with Purely Sweet bakery, addressing an underserved dietary segment in the local market. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment.

The company's core product is specialty coffee, with in-house roasting capability launched in 2023 after extensive development in learning, cupping, and refining roast profiles. This vertical integration gives Coffee Hub control over bean quality and enables direct farmer relationships, with the company investing in a larger roaster to support both internal consumption and a planned wholesale channel targeting restaurants, churches, and offices. Beyond coffee, the menu includes cold brew, drip coffee, homemade chai, teas, frappes, donuts, and baked goods. Catering services support corporate events and group gatherings, with DoorDash delivery available across all locations.

Coffee Hub generates revenue through direct-to-consumer retail sales, catering for corporate and group events, an online storefront via Square, gift card sales, and a planned wholesale coffee channel. The company is positioned as a second-chance employer affiliated with Hope Hub, a non-profit organization that supports women recovering from addiction; this social mission is core to its brand identity and customer narrative rather than a primary revenue driver. The customer base is predominantly distributed individual consumers in the Dayton area, with no major enterprise anchor customers identified in the available data.
