River Road Coffeehouse – On the Square

River Road Coffeehouse – On the Square is a locally owned coffeehouse located at 26 North Park Place in the heart of downtown Newark, Ohio, part of the family-operated River Road Coffeehouse group. The location opened in 2014 after the Forman family was invited by community leaders to join revitalization efforts in the downtown Newark area, making it the fourth location in the brand’s growing footprint alongside stores in Granville, Newark’s 21st Street corridor, and Gambier. The coffeehouse offers a welcoming community space with free Wi-Fi, a full coffee menu, and food options, serving as a go-to gathering spot for locals on the downtown square.
