    “A fantastic, no frills place to grab delicious food for a reasonable price. Counter staff is friendly, every menu item is delicious. Your food will come in a Styrofoam box, the building it's in is old, don't let that deter you. I would eat here daily if I could! Edit, years later. This place is still amazing and consistent. Prices have risen slightly (but that's everywhere!) but still a great price for the amount of food you get. Still always friendly, easy, quick. Hot tip: ask for sauce on everything and get some cornbread to soak up every last drop of deliciousness. They were one of the safest places I visited during the height of COVID-19, which was wonderful, as a person with immune system problems. If I had to pick a complaint, sometimes some flavors in the soda machine have a very very slight soapy flavor. Which, I mean, I imagine means they actually clean it, which is more than I imagine some other places do. Edit: Google wants me to update this review. My update is that this place is still fantastic. Edit 2: Google, I still love this place. Bourbon chicken, double spuds, sauce on everything, cornbread. Every time. Edit 3: no change. Still great.”

    “We had such a beautiful experience at Pettibone Coffee. The food was absolutely delicious, the coffee was rich and comforting, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We hosted our Coffee and Conversations event there, and it was the perfect space. There was more than enough room to comfortably seat the 15 people who attended, which allowed everyone to relax, connect, and truly enjoy the time together. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating — kind smiles, patient service, and genuine hospitality that made us feel cared for. You can tell they value community. We’re so grateful for such a cozy, inviting space to gather. Highly recommend for a quiet coffee date, a meet-up with friends, or even hosting a small event. 💛”

    “☕️✨ Y’ALL! I think I found my new coffee spot in the Oregon District! 🤎😍 I was walking through the Oregon District one evening while out with my kids when I spotted this BEAUTIFULLY lit-up coffee shop. I wanted to stop so bad, but they were getting ready to close. 🥹 So, of course, I came back the very next day with my girl Laura! Listen… THIS WAS A 10/10 EXPERIENCE! 🙌🏽 From the customer service to the atmosphere to the freshness of the coffee, everything was on point! And that PISTACHIO LATTE?! 😮‍💨☕️ BABYYYY! I had never tried one before, and my taste buds were having a whole party! 😂💚 They also have Turkish ice cream and an assortment of Turkish pastries that I cannot WAIT to go back and try. This is more than just grabbing a cup of coffee. It’s an EXPERIENCE! ✨ If you haven’t been, put this spot on your list! And if you HAVE been, tell me what you tried because I’m already planning my next visit! 👀🤎 📍Oregon District, Dayton, Ohio #DaytonOhio #OregonDistrict #DaytonFoodie #CoffeeLovers #SupportLocal”

    “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!”

While I was initially annoyed, all was well when the delivery guy came in with the complete order. BTW, the shift manager was super nice in trying to figure out what was going on, kudos to her for her efforts. Recommend that whoever does the website make some changes to improve clarity.”

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!”
