The downtown Dayton location is open 6 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday and closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Boston Stoker was founded by Don and Sally Dean as a pipe and tobacco shop in Englewood in 1973, according to the company’s website. The Deans started offering free, freshly brewed specialty coffee to their customers as a way to build their customer base.

“As the tobacco business grew for Boston Stoker, so did the demand for coffee,” the website said.
