JoyHouse Coffee Circleville

A Cup of Coffee, A Sense of Home: JoyHouse in Circleville

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

At JoyHouse Coffee, coffee is just the beginning. More than a café, it’s a place where faith, connection, and community come together in a welcoming space that feels like home. Located in a beautifully restored historic building, JoyHouse was founded on a calling—a clear sign that God’s hand was guiding the journey.

When the previous owner felt led to sell the shop, her prayers continually brought one name to mind—someone she knew would carry on the mission of bringing people together. At the same time, God was working in the heart of Jason & Mandi Stone and Luke & Amanda Smithberger, calling them to step forward and create something more than a coffee shop—a place for genuine connection, encouragement, and love.

A Menu That Brings People Together

JoyHouse serves high-quality, handcrafted drinks made with care, from expertly brewed coffee and espresso to seasonal favorites and specialty teas. The café also offers a selection of locally made pastries and signature toasts, such as avocado toast, providing fresh and satisfying bites throughout the day.

But it’s more than the menu—it’s about the experience. Customers often find handwritten messages of encouragement on their coffee sleeves, little reminders that they are valued and seen. In one unforgettable moment, a customer struggling with a health concern picked up her cup and began to cry, saying, “How did you know what I needed to hear?” Those simple yet powerful words have touched many lives.

More Than Coffee: A Space for Connection

From the moment someone walks through the doors of JoyHouse, the goal is for them to feel at home, loved, and known. The café is designed to feel like a cozy living room, where conversations can happen naturally or someone can find a quiet corner to read and reflect.

JoyHouse also comes to life through events that bring the community together, including:

  • “Flight Nights”—Once a month in the summer, JoyHouse closes down the street for live music and food trucks, turning the area into a festival of community and connection.
  • Board game nights and euchre tournaments, perfect for a fun and relaxed evening.
  • Family-friendly activities, including cookie decorating parties.
  • Seasonal coffee flights that celebrate new flavors and bring people together.

And for those looking for a cozy spot in the evening, JoyHouse stays open late on Thursdays, offering a warm, inviting space to unwind.

Faith in Action: Serving Through Love

JoyHouse’s tagline, “Your Story Matters,” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a way of life. The team believes customers matter because they matter to God, and they strive to show that through kindness, encouragement, and genuine care.

One of the most defining moments for JoyHouse came when a customer battling cancer became part of their family. The staff supported their journey—not just by making drinks but by writing messages of encouragement on their sleeves, checking in on their loved ones, and even attending their funeral when they passed away. It’s in moments like these that JoyHouse’s purpose is truly felt.

A Community That Gives Back

JoyHouse is also dedicated to supporting local artisans, offering handcrafted goods such as locally sourced honey and unique finds from area makers. And in a heartwarming surprise, the café’s impact was celebrated in an unexpected way—a customer built a JoyHouse float for the parade entirely on their own, simply because they loved the shop and wanted others to know about it. That’s the kind of deep community connection JoyHouse inspires.

Plan Your Visit

As a stop on the Pickaway Coffee Trail, JoyHouse Coffee is more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a destination for hospitality, faith, and meaningful connection. Whether you’re visiting for a peaceful morning, a lively community event, or just a really great cup of coffee, JoyHouse is ready to welcome you with open arms.  Visit JoyHouse at 202 N Pickaway St. in Circleville.

Rivers Coffee House Ashville 3

River’s Coffee House: Where Cozy Mornings Meet Culinary Creativity

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

River’s Coffee House isn’t just another coffee shop—it’s a cherished spot in Ashville that blends small-town charm with culinary creativity and a cozy, welcoming ambiance. Owner Myranda Sheets has poured her heart and soul into making every detail shine. When guests walk through the door, they’re greeted with the comforting smell of freshly brewed Silverbridge coffee and the irresistible aroma of warm, freshly fried donuts. The atmosphere immediately sets the tone, with soft music, comfortable seating, and a layout that makes you want to linger and enjoy the moment.

The menu is as thoughtful as the environment. River’s Coffee House offers an array of options to satisfy any craving. Breakfast classics—served with a side of fresh donuts—kick off the day in the best way. For lunch or a light bite, there are comforting soups, hearty deli sandwiches, crisp salads, and seasonal specials that Myranda updates every month to keep things fresh and fun. Desserts round out the menu, ensuring there’s always something sweet to look forward to. And of course, the coffee menu is designed to fit every mood, from a steamy hot latte to a refreshing iced coffee or a delicious frozen creation.

Myranda’s journey to opening River’s Coffee House began with a dream. After graduating from the Columbus Culinary Institute and working under top chefs, she knew she wanted to create something of her own. “This has always been my plan,” she says. “I’ve worked for some fantastic chefs, but I couldn’t wait to open my own place.” That dream became reality when River’s Coffee House opened its doors, offering Ashville not just a coffee shop, but a gathering place where the community can come together and feel at home.

Myranda’s dedication to quality extends beyond the menu. She crafts every house-made coffee syrup herself, ensuring a natural sweetness that enhances each cup. This attention to detail makes a visit to River’s Coffee House something truly special. Guests often comment on the warm, friendly environment, the delicious made-from-scratch food, and the sense of community they feel from the moment they walk in. Myranda’s goal is clear: to create a place where everyone feels welcomed, comfortable, and part of something special.

“The most rewarding part of all this,” she shares, “is hearing customers thank me for providing a fast, casual option that’s not a chain. It’s amazing to see people appreciate the effort and care we put into everything.” While Myranda’s passion fuels the operation, she’s quick to acknowledge the challenges she’s faced. “Everything was more difficult than expected,” she admits. “I give so much credit to all small business owners. It’s truly incredible what we can accomplish in a day when we need to.” Despite these challenges, her determination has never wavered, and her love for her work shines through in every detail.

As a proud stop on the Pickaway Coffee Trail, River’s Coffee House is not just a place to grab a quick coffee—it’s an experience. Whether you’re an early riser drawn to the peace of the morning hours, a mid-day visitor looking for a satisfying lunch, or a dessert lover eager to try something sweet, River’s Coffee House welcomes you with open arms. Located at 17 W. Main St., River’s invites you to come in, get cozy, and enjoy the unique flavors and warm hospitality that make this café such a special destination. Don’t forget to follow along on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the latest seasonal offerings and events—and make sure to add this inviting spot to your Pickaway Coffee Trail itinerary.
