“We thought Beavercreek was a great community,” said owner Ben Neely. “We were told it just doesn’t have what we consider a third-wave coffee shop and that’s what we strive to be with the equipment that we use and the quality of coffee that we serve.”
Warehouse 4 partners with Counter Culture Coffee as its base roaster. Customers can expect a full espresso bar with lattes, pour overs, drip coffee and more.

The coffee shop makes fresh baked goods every morning including biscuits that are used for several breakfast sandwiches.
They also offer a lunch menu featuring hot and cold sandwiches, as well as salads. Neely’s go-to is the Italian sandwich made on sourdough bread and served hot.

Star City Brewing in Miamisburg is looking for a new owner to take the brewery to the next level, while keeping the community at its core.
“I’ve loved owning Star City Brewing, but I’ve been considering stepping back for some time to focus on new opportunities and let someone else take the reins,” said Justin Kohnen, who opened the brewery in 2013 with his brother, Brian, and longtime friend, Brian Yavorsky.
His goal is for the brewery to continue without disruption, as well as Bricky’s Comedy Club.

Village Family Restaurant in Waynesville is still looking for a new owner after being on the market for more than 2 years.
Owner Lacie Sims listed the restaurant and its real estate for sale in spring 2023 because she wanted to spend more time with her grandchildren.
“That’s how I bought the restaurant, so I thought that’s how someone else would buy the restaurant,” Sims said.
She recently changed plans and started working with Danielle Chandler and Mark Langdon of Henkle Schueler & Associates to find someone to lease the space at 144 S. Main St.

Benjamin Stuckey, the owner of Baker Benji’s in Dayton, started at the Ohio Renaissance Festival as a member of the street cast team in 2016.
“I used to dress up in character,” Stuckey said. “I would walk around the village and make fun of you in a funny accent.”
He has been a part of the festival for almost a decade, but this year will be his fourth season as a vendor — selling baked goods through a dessert window at New World Knoll. It’s located at the very top of the hill between the beer and baked potatoes.

Local chef shares recipe for frozen breakfast burritos
Columnist Whitney Kling is a recipe developer who lives in Southwest Ohio with her four kids.
“I love making these breakfast burritos and storing them in a Ziploc bag in the freezer,” she writes. “The kids eat them at all times of day.”
Ingredients:
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1 lb cooked taco meat, prepared however your family likes
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar
- 6 scrambled eggs
Directions: Lay out the six tortillas, assembly line style. Add ¼ cup meat, cheese, and egg into each tortilla.
Fold opposite sides of the tortilla in to seal each end, and then roll up to enclose the ingredients.
Carefully place burritos, seam side down, in a Ziploc bag in the freezer.
To prepare, microwave burritos for one minute. Let cool slightly before eating.
