This is a great little coffee shop! I love the ambiance here. It’s very cozy and relaxing yet there’s ample seating. The booths allow you to have a little more privacy. The latte I had was very good as well as the bagel. They have some pastries as well but that was about it for breakfast foods. The staff was friendly and the prices are reasonable. I spent about $ 7 for the latte and bagel.

Great vanilla latte — anytime I’m in town or on the way to cover village council during my reporting days I’d stop by for a perfect and quality coffee. I always find a quiet, mellow atmosphere and kind, efficient service.

Toasted everything bagel with herb cream cheese for $ 2. Just what I wanted. And my latte was tasty, too. Totally fine coffee spot with air conditioning, plenty of tables, and nice people behind the counter.

Wiggin Street is quite generic compared to its predecessor, Middle Ground. The vibe is more corporate, despite being owned by a company with only 3 locations. I don’t really feel like this place fits in with the rest of the Kenyon/Gambier area, it just seems out of place. There’s also no wifi unless you have a Kenyon wireless account, so that’s a drag. It’s a nice place to people-watch, although at times the students can get more obnoxious than entertaining. As a local, I’ve found in my many stops that their coffee is a lot like that old Goldilocks story. seems like depending on who made it, it’s either too strong, too weak, or if you’re lucky, just right. They offer some limited snack options, but for a quick bite their selection is fine… bagels, carrot sticks and hummus, muffins and cookies. nothing to write home about. Good place for a quick stop and a caffeine hit but nothing spectacular.

I am so annoyed at all the negative reviews about this place. Wiggin St. coffee makes AMAZING espresso, and that’s what it is a COFFEE house. Middle ground could not make decent coffee no matter how expensive the cup was(trust me, I would know after years of going there). I am beyond thankful to actually be able to get a decent cappuccino on this campus and if you can’t realize how much better the coffee is, and that what they serve IS coffee as opposed to the mud that was served by Middle Ground, then I’m not sure what you’re doing even going to a coffee house since you obviously have zero appreciation for the Italian commodity.

As far as a coffee house devoted to serving tasty coffee, Wiggin Street has not lived up to the hype. I can deal with a limited menu option but the coffee is not good enough, or executed properly enough to truly succeed in the«café» genre. For my entire review, check out

After six years of actively going to this coffee shop when it went by the name«Middle Grounds», I couldn’t help but walk through the doors with a bit of skepticism. But all fears were quickly dismissed as the renovated space has the same skeleton and vibe with only moderate changes. A much cleaner setup and light array of wood bars and seating, Wiggin Street provides a great space for a meeting or afternoon read. The space lost a bit of its warmth, but it feels huge and it’s less of a greasy college lunch spot like it used to be. Their coffee has significantly upgraded since the relaunch, thanks to a move to One Line Coffee roasters. in regards to food, I didn’t try anything out but the Umpqua Oatmeal looked amazing. I found myself eager to pout about the lack of chicken tenders, sweet potato fries, and the wide array of dipping sauces, but memory served correct that VIllage Inn was the same owner, so a quick trip next door and all of my needs were satisfied.

Wiggin Street seems to be struggling to find a cohesive identity. I’m not a coffee drinker, but I have heard mixed reviews. Their hot chocolate and other coffee-free drinks are so-so and priced comparably to big bad S’bucks. As Zeph mentioned, they scaled back the menu significantly from what Middle Ground previously served in the same location. The stromboli is surprisingly pretty good, but I’m generally opposed to purchasing something that was made previously and re-heated in a microwave. I haven’t written them off completely, but it won’t be a regular stop.

I was disappointed to find that Middle Ground is now Wiggin Street Coffee. The place has been cleaned up, which is good, but certainly the ambience is different and lacking the homey feel it had before as Middle Ground. It was deserted and lacking student presence. We were told that the focus is coffee, not on food. As much as I love coffee, I was expecting a place that serves decent food with vegetarian options. We were told that the only veg thing on the tiny little unimpressive menu was hummus and pita chips. Wow! How imaginative. I can get a tub of hummus and some pita chips at the grocery down the road. We were annoyed so we left, not trying the coffee. Can’t say whether or not it is good, but given that Wiggin Street is apparently owned by the same people who own Riverroad Coffee, my guess is that the coffee is atrocious. No reason to visit Gambier any more.
