45 Best Coffee Shops in Dayton

“Very clean and very nice! GREAT coffee!!“

“The best coffee and chocolate!“

“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.“

“Friendly staff, great atmosphere!! Very delicious coffee, drinks and food!“

“We love stopping at Winans. The staff is always so so nice and they are always good to my dog! The drinks are super good and reasonably priced. the location is perfect after enjoying a Dragons game or going to Riverscape. We highly recommend Winans!“

“The baristas are so kind and welcoming when you walk into the space. I ordered a caramel latte and it was the most delicious coffee I've ever had, and I experiment a lot with various coffees. I told them my preference of how I like my coffee, and they were happy to cater to my needs, and also the caramel latte I ordered was BUTTERY!!! I could taste the rich caramel flavor, and the next few days after I went, all I could think about was that latte. It is high quality coffee and for me, a traveler looking for a quick caffiene break, it was the perfect pick-me up.“

“The owner was very friendly and the food was great. You can choose between a traditional American breakfast or try Mediterranean dishes. I had a dark roast coffee with my breakfast and it was outstanding. This is a nice addition to our community! Highly recommend.“

“Friendly warm atmosphere and great coffee. Gotta try their desserts.“

“Lovely little coffee shop with plenty of goodies and friendly staff. Check out the whole beans and take a bag or two home when you stop in.“

“My slice of pie was delicious. I took a different flavor home to my husband. I asked him how his was, he'd already eaten his. That was my answer!“

“Stopped by this morning to get in line before they opened and it was so worth the wait! My absolute favorites were the tiramisu cold brew and the garlic cream cheese croissant. We also got a variety of other baked goods that were all delicious! The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was excellent! I’m sure we will be back soon!“

“Our second time back at The Ugly Duckling. Great food and service! Especially accommodating and good with our kids. They all got a mystery duck! We will be back!“

“Very chill spot to hang. Loved the indoor space.

Salted choc chip cookie was really good.
Cortado was also good, espresso was a little more bitter than my taste preference. Milk was steamed really well.

Would come back again.“

“They always get my order right and we get through the drive through fast. The menu is super long and I can’t imagine how hard it is to memorize the items. It’s a very small store and usually only has one or two people working but they are able to multi-task taking orders and helping at the window. The lady with blonde hair and glasses was very nice today.

My favorite items are the frozen matcha latte, and the sugar and spice latte

Dietary restrictions: There are dairy free options like almond milk.“

“The best coffee and chocolate!“

“Love the coffee and donuts but the staff should refer to the picture when making Avocado Toast.“

“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.“

“Quick service and friendly faces every time. Thank you Baristas!! ❤️“

“The donuts taste great! I wish I could frequent more but my blood sugar won’t allow it.“

“The coffee shop is inside the whole food market. Got coffee (Butterscotch white mocha ). It was so sweet I was not able to finish it. If you are getting it make sure to double check. The hot chocolate was good. There is plenty of sit down space.“

“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!!“

“Love the team here! They know my order by heart!!! And are so sweet!! Always coming back to them!! Don't change a thing! �“

“i decided to give this place a try for the first time today and it was soooo good, all the workers greeted me as soon as i walked in and were patient as i looked over the menu. the dining area was clean and they were quick to make my drink. i’ll definitely come again!“

“Today I went in with two my friend I just let order so I didn’t order anything my self, but once my friends got their drink they brought one out for me as well. That had really made my day 10 times better, I will definitely be going back.“

“All I can say is that their organic latte offerings are great! I like the stronger Lattes. They make them perfectly. Friendly staff and inviting place. Highly recommend!“

“Pretty good donuts. Prices are a touch high and they're open consistently. However if you get there too early, I feel they serve the donuts from the day before sometimes. They're usually really soft and moist, so you can tell they're fresh, but other times they are dry and a touch stale.“

“Muffins and Coffee !! <3 One of the reason library is interesting.“

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

“Excellent breakfast sandwich, donuts, and decadent coffee. They did get the expresso add in the wrong cup, but I enjoyed it and my husband didn't begrudge me the caffeine boost! Considering all the various options I was impressed with the professionalism and kindness on a busy Saturday morning.“

“Delicious coffee. Great atmosphere. Beautiful place. Plenty of seats are available. ATM. Free Parking lot. Free wifi, and Drive thru.“

“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!“

“Vegan approved! Hazelnut + Coconut Milk + Mocha = Vegan Nutella with Caffeine! It's perfectly balanced with layers of espresso sweetness in every sip. Sooo delicious and I absolutely love hazelnut. This drink is aHHmazing! #DitchDairy#CoconutLover“

“My son and I visited this tea shop while in town for the week. We ordered a watermelon green tea with strawberry popping bubbles and a Hokkaido milk tea with brown sugar pearls. Both were delightful and we agreed it was more delicious than our local place in NEO. Friendly service, reasonable pricing, & a clean & fun atmosphere added to our experience!“

“Starbucks baristas are typically top notch but the ones in harrahs gulf coast are beyond that not only friendly but make incredible drinks my only complaint is that they close at 2 I was pretty upset when I was ready for my second peppermint “

“Genesis, not sure I spelled her name right, was subbing at the Starbucks at the Kroger Cornerstone Store from the Austin Landing on Sunday, May 22, 2023 & the only one working a very busy Starbucks. She is GREAT! She was smiling while preparing coffee drinks, food, interacting with customers & cleaning as she worked. The Cornerstone Starbucks is not open all the time and I really appreciated her being there today. We should all have her energy and attitude. I truly appreciate hard workers like her … she will go far in whatever she does.“

“Paradise (manager) & Missi are the BEST!!!! Every time I get a caramel frappe with extra whipped cream and caramel drizzle and they never disappoint. They are always friendly and very efficient. I won't go to any other Starbucks! Great job ladies!!“

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

“Soooo good! Highly recommend coming here for your cravings. Absolutely LOVE this place. 10/10 recommend!!“

“I am so MAD, I ordered the new watermelon ? Donut. Fried not to get my hopes up because you never know... Well I drove all the way home before I tasted it and it was DELICIOUS ???. IM upset because Im too far away to order another one ???? next time try your food before you pull off just in case you need to circle back and get a second or third one... For the family to try of course ?. I ate it too fast to take a pic so here's a pic of the bag.

Vegetarian options: Oat milk and other milk alternatives.“

“I perused some prior reviews and normally don't make comments but HAD to today. Today was the power outage 9/28/24. For over THREE HOURS this place had anywhere between 40-55 people in it. This is not a big place. I came because I had to no power at home to do my work. The staff handled it like absolute champs. The lady with brown hair and middle-aged at the register was efficient, professional, and stepped in to help with drinks if the rare moment presented. The entire working staff moved phenomenally quickly, even though wait times reached up to 30 minutes. With the number of drive-through orders, in-person orders, and delivery/pick up orders I can't believe they pulled it off. Unreal. I have to say, objectively, that my drink was a bit bitter and the cold foam was subpar, but overall acceptable, especially with the circumstances. People who complain with prior reviews likely just don't understand what these employees have to go through with the now-nationally-known issues the Company has, with so many moving parts with their drinks being a potential downfall. HOWEVER, the staff, in the face of all this, did mind-blowingly well. This staff also lets me enjoy my kids here sometimes and they are friendly and courteous. Well-freaking done, everyone. Keep treating your staff better, @Starbucks.“

“Look, they close at 7pm. I show up every Wednesday night at 615-30ish. They have everything pretty much cleaned up ready to close. I am thinking what won't make much of a mess. Every Time, I am told that they will make me anything I want. To me, that shows me good business!“

“I go there all the time and I’m apart of their reward program on the app which makes it so much better! I highly recommend getting the app so you can save on future purchases! The workers are always so nice no matter how busy it is and they are always smiling and really make my day!

Dietary restrictions: Everything is fully customizable and I don’t they would turn down cleaning equipment for you if need be! There are also many different kinds of milk that have recently had the upcharge taken off of them!

Kid-friendliness: Their “tall” size is perfect for a kid!“

“Great one stop shop all a person can need in a quick minute.“

“My Chai was perfect!!! The ladies were very kind and they worked very well together behind the counter.“
