21 Best Cafes in Dayton

“Our family loves this cafe!! We have ordered afternoon tea for two birthday parties for our granddaughter! She loves good tea and scones and theirs are the best! The Strawberry Kisses hot tea is fantastic! Central Perc is a little gem!!“

“Great coffee and chocolates! The barista who was working at the downtown Dayton location this morning (12-6-24) was so friendly and cheerful that he set the mood for my whole day.“

“1st time there. I had the Bourbon Chicken with steamed veggies. Small. Plenty of delicious food! The staff were so friendly. Juicy tender chicken. I would love to have the recipe. Dayton locals, you have a great treasure of food awaiting you!!! Thank you!“

“Great pies made by better people! You will not be disappointed!“

“Excellent chocolate chip cookies and brownies- the salt on top was just the right amount to balance to sweet!“

“The coffee Pettibone serves is outstanding: true 3rd wave with amazing profiles, not the burned-n-bitter-made-for-milk beans so many roasters generate! Try their pourovers and taste the difference. The food here is really first class too, and priced fairly for non mass-produced creations. Many choices too. Avoid crowds and come early or after peak times.“

“A wonderful place to have breakfast, brunch or lunch. Great food & atmosphere.“

“Thank you CommuniTea for hosting our special day. Everything was perfect! 🫖🍯🩷Support Local🩷🍯🫖“

“Gracious! Visited this bakery today and was completely blown away. I am a home baker and make a mean chocolate chip cookie. Low key, kinda famous. That said, I bought a small sampling of items today with a big as yo face chocolate chip cookie with both white and chocolate chips. Seriously, best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had! From the warm welcome and kind service to the homey surroundings, don't miss out on this little gem! I can't wait to go back!“

“My daughter & I went here for brunch. It was hands down the best brunch I've ever consumed in my life!“

“always great service and amazing coffee. 5 stars all day! :)“

“6/18/2022 This place is opened every year BUT it is SEASONAL in nature. If you see my photo you will see the hours of operation. It's located right next to the children's fountain play area. All items are reasonably priced and they take cash AND card!

Kid-friendliness: basic food choices for kids & adults alike.

Wheelchair accessibility: open space area around the building“

“It's the best place to eat brunch! a lot of gluten free options. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to be kind! 5 stars!“

“This is a really nice Starbucks inside of Target. They always have a great collection of cups and mugs for the cup hunters out there. Their staff is extremely friendly too.I recently tried a new drink that has been getting mixed reviews, and the barista made sure that I liked it. When I was kind of "meh" about it, she added some additional flavors and it made it much better!My only complaint, is that they haven't gotten hip to the online/app ordering yet. Otherwise, this is a really nice location!“

“It was great to see you today & the food was amazing as always!“

“I wasn't sure where to pick up my order I ordered in advance and when I walked in I asked the woman at the counter and she seemed disgusted and annoyed by the fact that I wasn't sure that the food was sitting on a shelf behind me it was my first time there I was I supposed to know. And then was even more disgusted by the fact that I didn't know where to fill my cup up with the drink that I had ordered. I'm sorry I haven't been there before I apologize for that it'll probably be enough to keep me from going back“

“The only reason that I even come to this particular Panera Bread is because of Miss Kathy and Anthony the assistant manager (I come for coffee after working 3rd shift at the hospital on the weekends).Miss Kathy and Anthony are the bomb💣....their customer ❤service is next to none. But today the manager on duty, let a dog come in here and be in the restaurant she told me there was nothing she could do about the dog being here in the restaurant. I even called 911. The dog ran around the fireplace. the woman said that he was a service dog and that he wasn't hurting anything (but his hair flying around the restaurant!!!!!!)but service dogs don't run around the restaurant. They sit in one place next to the owner.I love dogs but not dog hair in my food!!! LEAVE THE DOG OUTSIDE!“

“Store was very cleanly— dining area, drink station, and bathroom were all well maintained and stocked. The employees were very kind and service was quick! Food was yummy. Big props to management. I definitely recommend the orange scone if they have them made. They are scrumptious! 😋“

“Stopped at Winans while in Dayton on Monday. Decided to enjoy the day walking around the city and found this lovely cafe. The atmosphere, staff, and options were outstanding. I enjoyed the best spiced chai latte I have ever had. If I lived in Dayton, I would be here often. I plan to make this a stop anytime I’m in the area.“

“Carly and Matt are fantastic at welcoming customers! From the moment you walk in their bright and positive attitude brightens your day. I love coming in when they are working because it could definitely improve the day with their positive energy.

Of course the food is good and we know that already. People are what sets this business apart. I enjoy getting my drink with the sip club and I’m trying to get a taste of many things across the menu. Both Carly and Matt have made some excellent suggestions recently that turned out very good.

Thanks for the great visit again today (as usual!)“
