Let’s warm up a little for this first “5 to Try” of 2024.
When we first began this tradition more than two years ago of asking readers for their picks for the best of what Johnson County had to offer, one of the first things we asked about was coffee.
In fall 2021, we asked you to give us your recommendations for best locally coffee shops in Johnson County.
We feel that list may need some updating.
And what a better time to do it then now, when the warm, cozy aura of a well-run coffee shop invites you in from the wind, chill and snow?
So tell us your go-to coffee shops in Johnson County. As always, we prize locally owned picks over corporate chains.

How to tell us your picks for best pie
We’ll take recommendations for this “5 to Try” through Thursday.
To send us your “5 to Try” suggestions this week and each week after this, you can:
- Email ideas to stories@johnsoncountypost.com,
- Send us messages on Facebook or on X (formerly Twitter).
- Or comment at the bottom of this post.
After we get your suggestions, we’ll publish our readers’ picks for what made it into our “5 to Try.”
