Emporium Wines & Underdog Café
Known For
Exposed brick wine bar that works just as well as a morning café
Emporium Wines & Underdog Café does something genuinely rare — exposed brick walls and cozy nook seating make equally good cases for a 9am coffee and a 9pm Burgundy. The space earns its great-for-photos reputation through actual character, not decor-by-committee.
🕐Best time to visit: Thursday evenings when the wine list gets serious attention
Our Take
Emporium Wines & Underdog Café pulls off the rare double act of a serious wine shop and a genuinely good café under one exposed-brick roof — the kind of hybrid concept that shouldn't work as well as it does. It's a standout Yellow Springs stop that earns its reputation without trying too hard.
