11 Best Cafes in Toledo

“Cafe Donuts single handedly saved the day for our child’s donut theme breakfast birthday. We discovered that Krispy Kreme was just… closed despite placing a pick up order earlier in the week for this. This was at 9 AM and we had no treats for a party! We called cafe donuts in a panic- we had 60 people to feed! By 10:00 AM, we had 200 freshly made donut holes and four dozen raised glazes with sprinkles to match our theme still a bit warm from the fryer on our party table- even including a special donut with multicolored sprinkles in a box labeled “happy birthday!” The person picking up said every employee was working impressively quickly to get this order out the door in under 30 minutes from phone call to car! My frantic husband even noted that the manager was calm and collected when he was definitely not, suggesting the right number of donuts and types! I cannot express how extraordinary their customer service is. We already loved their donuts anyway, but I have to say I don’t know that we’ll ever go to another bakery in Toledo besides Cafe after this day saving experience!“

“First time coming here. Never knew they had a whole line up of fresh food for lunch. my sandwich was amazing and the price was very reasonable for the amount of quality food you get. Amazing experience and will definitely be back soon for some cabbage rolls!“

“my first time well worth it my co worker was like you want tacos I was like yesssir everything balanced and the shell was the best it stayed crunchy I'll be back again“

“Great homemade food & wait staff“

“Was there on a Sunday and it was busy but the wait wasn't too long. Service was good but I noticed that she had several large parties to take care of as well. I had the Eggs Benedict Florentine and it was excellent! Plan to return when we are in town again.“

“Just visited the Byrne Rd. location. Been going every Sunday since they reopened. The staff there, rocks!! Thanks everyone!“

“Restaurant is across from the river and right by a trailhead for the Great Allegheny Passage trail. Wife had tacos and I have a big burrito. Both were very good. Restaurant was busy and limited staff were working hard to keep drinks and food moving (great job)! Great place to hike or bike a trail, grab a beer and a relaxing meal. Very dog friendly as well.“

“This Panera is inside Entrance B of the hospital, for anyone else who is confused trying to find it like I was. The food was exactly as expected for Panera, which means my soup and bread was delicious. I love the broccoli cheddar. It would be much more convenient to eat here if there were more (or any) signs on the hospital campus telling you where it is.“

“Great service every time! My go to for my morning coffee!“

“a place to play, where friends can enjoy good times with one another“

“Everything I got today was absolutely delicious! Wait time wasn’t bad for 6 cars in front of me. My daughter who is usually picky loved the Mac and cheese and the chicken Caesar salad. Best experience I’ve had at any Panera.“
