Coffee is at the heart of American culture. Sadly, many big coffee chains have begun to take over many independent coffee shops, but in places like Mansfield, OH there are still loads of independently operated cafes where you can enjoy quality, artisanal coffee, and here are some of the best.

Relax, It’s Just Coffee

Located on North Main Street, Relax, It’s Just Coffee is an artisanal coffee joint that serves specialty teas, coffee, and an assortment of homemade bread and cakes. The atmosphere is relaxing (as you could probably guess from the name), and the staff strives to create a place where people can work, create, and generally socialize without any bad vibes.

The help create this atmosphere, the joint regularly hosts live entertainment which supports local acts, and the walls are decorated with some beautiful art created by local talents.

Barrington Cafe

A classic European-style cafe, Barrington Cafe is set in an elegantly rustic building and serves beautiful coffees with proper barista finishes. On top of the excellent coffee menu, Barrington Cafe also serves a wide variety of healthy smoothies and lemonades, and there’s also a great food menu too, so you can spend all day here if the mood takes you.

Barrington Cafe opens shop at 7 am, making this a perfect spot to stop by on your way to work in the morning. Even if you’re running slightly late for work, simply jump in your GMC Terrain SLE, and, with its turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, you’ll be sure you have time to grab a quick coffee before your shift starts.

The Cove Coffee Shop

Situated in Ontario, just 5 miles from Mansfield, The Cove Coffee Shop is much more than just a cafe. Along with its amazing coffee, the joint also serves its own signature Nitro Teas. These are made from pure maple sap, with some magic done in the process to infuse them with some of their specialty teas and add a silky texture. Nitro Teas are only found here, and they’re definitely worth a try.

It’s great to see that in towns such as Mansfield, OH, many independent coffee outlets have managed to survive corporate takeovers. Not only that, but many of these places are flourishing more than ever as people get bored with giant companies.
