    I came here because I wanted to try the soup, but they said they didn't have any soup in June…read morebecause it's not soup season. I had the feta beat salad, which was ok. I got a slice of Carmel cake for $4.99 - sounded like a good deal, but the slice was pretty dinky. I also got 5 Buckeyes for $5.99. I really liked the outdoor dining option and the girl strumming acoustic guitar singing outside the book store next door. Three stars for now, but this rating might come up when I get a chance to try their soup.

Unfortunately, our experience on February 17th,2026 was deeply disappointing. My husband entered the restaurant when it was quiet. There was no line, and he had been standing inside looking at the baguettes for a few minutes, by himself. Two staff members came out from the back and did not acknowledge him. A white woman then entered the store and was immediately greeted with "Can I help you?" My husband had clearly been there first. When he calmly questioned whether they intended to skip over him, he was met with defensiveness and told not to speak to the employee's daughter that way -- despite not raising his voice or being disrespectful. Being ignored and then treated as though he had done something wrong for asserting his place in line felt dismissive and uncomfortable. As Black customers, experiences like this are not minor. We value businesses that treat all customers with equal acknowledgment and respect. Unfortunately, this interaction has caused us to reconsider returning. We hope ownership takes this feedback seriously and ensures that all guests are welcomed consistently and fairly.

Will comeback to work here and get some coffee. Started off with some fruit juice the green was good fresh but the other one paradise seems frozen so more like a smoothie. Ordered the chicken & waffles! (Not a fan of the mayo but it wasn't bad). Chicken was well seasoned and crispy and so was the waffle! We also got the cinnamon roll and that didn't disappoint! Was not super sweet, it was just right and the cheese cream icing was amazing! Now service was good, everyone was so friendly and had no problems! Again we had to wait like less than 10 mins. Seems like they were getting to people as quickly as they could!

    Sunday morning, Margot and I joined the kids here for breakfast. We started with coffee for Margot,…read morean espresso for me, plus a mimosa and a tequila sunrise. Margot didn't finish her mimosa. I did finish the tequila sunrise, although calling it a tequila sunrise was generous. It was mostly a very sweet sunrise with rumors of tequila. Margot said her coffee was good, so we were off to a promising start. Then the food arrived. Cold. Margot ordered a breakfast bowl with the beef protein, which was so overcooked and so aggressively salted that she removed it from the bowl and left it on the plate. I assume it is still preserved somewhere in the restaurant and should remain perfectly edible well into the next century. Another person in our party ordered the same dish and had exactly the same experience with the protein. I keep using the word "protein" because I'm hesitant to call it meat--or beef, as the menu does--after seeing what actually arrived at the table. Whatever journey it took from cow to breakfast bowl clearly included several additional steps that were not necessary. I had two eggs, three sausage links and three pieces of bacon. Apparently the kitchen was equally concerned about my long-term preservation because the sausage and bacon contained enough salt to qualify as cured building materials. Both meals came with one piece of their "world famous" sourdough toast. One. Calling it a piece may also be generous. It was sliced thin enough that, under proper lighting, I believe you could read a newspaper through it. Another piece would have been appreciated, particularly considering toast appears to be part of the restaurant's identity. Service was an interesting team-building exercise. One person took our order, another brought drinks, someone else brought food, and yet another person checked the table. I believe we interacted with four different employees, which made it impossible to build any rapport with an actual server. Nobody was particularly terrible. Nobody seemed particularly responsible for us either. We didn't feel rushed, which was nice. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived but was absolutely packed by the time we left, with people lining up at the door. One thing we noticed on the way out: the restaurant itself looks great. Whoever designed the place clearly spent some serious time on Pinterest, and unlike the kitchen, they actually executed the assignment. At this point, Toasted may want to seriously consider a pivot. Close the kitchen, leave the furniture exactly where it is, and start designing restaurants for people who know how to cook. Because whoever is responsible for the interior clearly understands what a restaurant is supposed to look like. Now they just need someone who understands what the food is supposed to taste like. So clearly Toasted has found its audience. If you enjoy cold food, aggressively salted mystery protein, cocktails where the liquor is largely theoretical, and world-famous sourdough with the dimensions and structural characteristics of cardboard, you may have found your Sunday brunch destination. If you're preparing your body for long-term winter storage, even better. Margot and I will probably just admire the Pinterest board from a safe distance.

    I love a good coffee shop, so I found this one on Yelp. Nate and I were exploring Yellow Springs…read moreand I loved this little town! Emporium Wines & the Underdog Cafe is a cute and cozy charming little shop with lots of wine for sale and some tasty food. There isn't a ton of seating, so we had to share a table with a kind stranger while we enjoyed our iced Americanos and breakfast focaccia. The breakfast focaccia was delicious - it had cheese, chili crisp, and a hard boiled egg inside. We also added some bacon. I really liked this and it was great to split for a light breakfast snack. They also have other breakfast items and lunch food. There are bookshelves full of used books for sale. The space seems very community-forward and I think I'd be a regular here if I lived nearby.

    I stopped in to sit and kill time with a book and a coffee…read more I ordered an iced latte at the counter, and found a table facing the outside sidewalk. I saw they also sell wrapped grab 'n go sandwiches, drinks and yogurt parfaits. I didn't see a menu, but apparently they have pastries and breakfast sandwiches. They are also a beer & wine shop retail shop. There are several tables both inside and out to sit and read or socialize. It was a really pleasant atmosphere in the middle of the day. They have shelves of used books for $4.99, alphabetical by author. I found one to purchase. I came back with granddaughter for breakfast, but I wished we had gone to a different place, more of a full service breakfast joint. I had a breakfast wrap and a hot coffee. It was pretty good. The staff were okay, not super friendly.

    I always enjoy coming to Ellie's and supporting this wonderful little spot in Yellow Springs. The…read morepeople are so friendly, and there's something special about the welcoming feel of this town. I started with an espresso martini before my Benedict Your Way with smoked salmon, and it was so good that I had to have another one after my meal! Smooth, delicious, and the perfect way to bookend a great breakfast. And then there was the Benedict. I substituted the English muffin for a biscuit, added smoked salmon, and asked for extra hollandaise. Life changing. The biscuit was such a delicious upgrade with the smoked salmon, eggs, and that rich, creamy hollandaise. I honestly didn't want the meal to end. But the real finale was the crème brûlée. Absolutely perfect. The caramelized sugar on top had that beautiful crisp crack when I broke into it, while the custard underneath was silky, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, just rich enough, and the contrast between the delicate caramelized topping and smooth custard was exactly what a great crème brûlée should be. Paired with my last espresso martini, it was an incredibly satisfying way to finish the meal. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'd love to see a few more vegetarian and pescatarian options on the menu. Otherwise, Ellie's is a lovely place with genuinely friendly people, great food and drinks, and that warm Yellow Springs charm. I'm happy to support them and will definitely be back!

    Ok. To be very upfront I've hated the physical appearance of this building since it was built. But…read moredrove to yellow springs today to get lunch at one of the vegetarian restaurants,,,not realizing they were closed. So we opted to finally try Ellie's. I'd heard that the food was good but expensive. It turns out that neither was that true. Prices weren't bad. The meatless options were very very limited. I ended up with a Caesar salad that was decent. My companion opted for one of the breakfast options with tofu as the protein. 1/2 an hour later she was informed that they were out of tofu. I don't expect every restaurant to be vegan friendly but some effort to have a dish or 2 on the menu that isn't meat centric would be appreciated. (It is Yellow Springs after all). Also a tiny pet peeve. In a dining room I really don't like seeing a tv screen like I'm sitting in a spurts bar. Fortunately the sound was low.
