If you're in Carlisle, a peaceful village nestled between Franklin and Middletown with a strong sense of local pride, your next favorite coffee shop is just 8 minutes away. 12 Stones Coffee is a one-of-a-kind destination in Hunter, OH — a church turned coffee house where specialty drinks meet genuine community. The 4.5-mile drive from Carlisle is worth every minute.
We serve handcrafted espresso drinks, rich Ghirardelli mochas, house-made chai, premium Tea Pigs teas, and fresh breakfast to start your day right. But people keep coming back for more than the menu. They come back because 12 Stones feels different from any other coffee shop in the area — it's a place built on the idea that sharing stories and building relationships over a good cup of coffee is one of life's most important rituals.
Our name comes from the biblical story in Joshua 4, where twelve stones were taken from the Jordan River to create a memorial — a place where stories of faithfulness would be passed from generation to generation. That's what we've created here: a modern-day gathering place where Carlisle neighbors can slow down, connect, and share what matters most.
