MARIETTA — Roseland Coffee Bar is set to expand to its third location in Marietta starting in 2025.

The expansion comes after the successful renovation of its original Barlow location and the growth of its bustling Belpre location.

The original Barlow shop, located next to Warren Local Schools, recently underwent a summer renovation that added a spacious outdoor seating area. This location now serves hand-dipped ice cream from spring through fall, offering waffle cones, ice cream sandwiches, cups, and milkshakes alongside its popular drink menu. The expansion, according to Roseland, was a way to give back to their hometown and support Barlow’s ongoing business growth.

“We also have our Belpre Roseland Coffee Bar which has now taken over as our busiest store and it has been open just over a year,” the company said in a release.

Roseland is now eyeing Marietta for its third location. The coffee company has purchased the Southeastern Ohio Counseling Center building on Seventh Street, directly across from Marietta College. The location is also near Marietta Middle School, Washington State College of Ohio, and Marietta Memorial Hospital.

“We believe this is the perfect location for several reasons,” the company said, highlighting its proximity to key educational institutions and medical centers. “It will place us in the heart of a close-knit community, making it more convenient for locals without the hassle of navigating Pike Street’s traffic.”

In a statement, the company said they perform community outreach and community events throughout the year. Roseland Coffee Bar anticipates that opening a location in Marietta will help them expand these events to reach more people and in a statement, they said they hope this will help them make a larger impact in the community.

“Marietta has such a historic foundation not just in Ohio, but Marietta also has a rich impact on the history of our country,” the company said in a release, “We are excited about the opportunity to be a part of that! We can’t wait to see all the new faces and make so many new relationships.”
