Central Perc European Cafe

Excellent customer service and food is awesome

Very elegant. Was a perfect place to get tea with the squad.
Was there for the 14:00 afternoon tea, and was serviced really well, tea was great, and food was very good.
Will definitely be back again.

I love this place - I’ve been in a few times for tea, and I finally did the full tea for two experience. Beautiful sandwiches, scones, and pastries, lovely atmosphere.

I’d never been to an English tea shop before but I loved everything and the scones are to die for 5/5

Great little place for tea, coffee, and the scrumptious scones.

OMG!! They have clotted cream for their hot teas! Small interior, but we got a table on a Saturday (for 2) during high tea time, so we got lucky! Pastries are amazing; the creamy chicken vegetable soup was to die for (and I'm not a big soup fan)!

Central Perc has a great tea selection—I had the Buccaneer, my friend had chamomile, and both were delicious. Our teas arrived early with cute pot covers, but the food took well past 2 PM to arrive, despite us getting there 30 minutes early. With how busy the café was, no one explained what to expect, which left us a little uncertain.

The sandwiches were delicious, though their circular arrangement made it hard to tell who got what. It was a bit surprising to find a peanut butter and banana sandwich mixed in with more traditional options like tuna, egg salad, and turkey. The egg pie was two eggy, which threw us for a loop considering we both thought it might have been custard, sugar cream, or cheesecake, something similar to the other sweet pies displayed. The other pies were delicious and we were told housemade. The scones were more like biscuits, not my favorite, but the jam and cream helped.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience, but a little more communication and timeliness would have made it even better!

The high Tea here is so good!$50 and very much worth it ! A pot of tea and a three tier plate full of tea sandwiches , scones and delicious desserts.

One of my favorite Dayton spots. Quaint- Excellent coffee, and sandwiches.

Just like taking a trip to England. Great little gem with wonderful food and super friendly staff. Great atmosphere and a lovely place to share a spot of tea with your favorite friends and lovers.

I've been going to Central Perc for years— we're talking I was in middle school and I'm now an adult!

The food quality has only gotten better and if anything, it hasn't changed in a good, nostalgic way that I can always depend on when I'm feeling not the best.

The desserts here are phenomenal, and there is nothing else like them in our city. They're made with such care and you can taste that.

Central Perc is somewhere you want to stop if you're ever in the neighborhood.

But, make sure you have cash, check, or a Venmo account as the cafe only takes these. And if you're caught off guard, there's an ATM up the street to the left of Central Perc.

If you want a place to go for afternoon tea this is the spot. Service was a little slow but the food and tea were delicious!

Absolutely loved the food! It was delicious!! The reason for 4 stars is because of the wait it took to get our food. We only ordered two sandwiches and it took almost 25 minutes. No one ordered ahead of us. When we went to check on our order, they said it’d be right out, and then our sandwiches were out in 4 minutes. So, take that as you will. They also only except cash, check, and Venmo.

Stopped here while visiting friends for a coffee and scone. Absolutely delightful little shop. Ordered a late, one black coffee and two scones, one plain and one currant. Coffee was delightful, scones fresh from the oven. Lovely little gem in Ohio. Would absolutely stop back again for tea this time and eggs.
