There is a door to the building and to your right there is their main entrance to the coffee shop. Watch your step UP into the café. Music is contemporary and not too loud. Vintage decor. Standup Piano. Cozy seating arrangements of 2 to 8 seats throughout. Storefront window to gaze at the bustling traffic and pedestrians. Offerings. Standard coffee shop menu and interesting pastries, interesting cheesecakes, biscotti, and cookies. We got mocha and salted caramel latte. Very good. Fun latte art. Oatmeal cookie was chewy, spicy, and comforting. Happy to see lunch items on menu. Pics say more. Hospitality. Friendly and accommodating baristas. Bussed our dishes since it was almost closing. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lovely loos; clean and stocked. The temp of the café was a bit too cold for our preference. But overall, good place to just enjoy a cafe drink with friends.

I liked this spot. I do wish they had prices on their coffee mugs etc…read more Luckily I read about this spot before going or I wouldn't have realized they had food. The food menus were not obvious and the staff did not help much. Their drink menu board is fun but hard to read. Sent a group in after me and they couldn't find where there was a food menu and had a hard time with the staff showing them (they didn't even after being asked) so they only got coffee and got food elsewhere. Items did take awhile. I think if they were more helpful to out of towners (tons of hotels around) and made it more obvious of their different offers they could get a lot more $$$ per head. Decent vibes inside. I do feel like they could have done more for the aviation theme.

Very aesthetically pleasing ambiance, pleasant service experience, adequate menu pricing from what I saw. I tried an iced matcha latte with their house made honey and ginger syrup. The matcha itself was alright, but I unfortunately could not taste the syrup. I will have to be back to try their coffee and order something from the food menu. Driving up to the shop/parking experience was a little confusing, but I just ended up parking down the street and walked.

They have a great little room for parents with little kids. Our kid had french toast sticks and also a chocolate muffin, and he was so happy. We had avocado toast and a hummus avocado press sandwich, both were great. This is a great choice for anyone! And it's super kid and baby friendly!

I like substantial flavors...I could REALLY taste the chai (and the pumpkin), and I loved it. Great pastry: Some is homemade, and some is not. They do have "viral fruit pastries." Great service. All the baristas were personable and friendly. The owner was talkative...but not TOO talkative. Great atmosphere: It doesn't have the grungy hipster vibe that often goes well with a coffee house...it was clean, bright. Very comfortable. Nice variety of music overhead...one can't listen to metal and rap ALL the time, I guess. Food: We didn't try any of the breakfast or lunch items, but they looked great! 5 stars.

We appreciated finding this space though to relax in after a long day at the Toledo Zoo and in the hot humidity!! Would return.

Things to do along I-75 N/S to and from the Detroit area (1 of 2)…read more I had to spend a few days in the Detroit area and I-75, featured in black and white on Eminem's excellent Super Bowl commercial, is the route on which I'd be driving. I have become increasingly tired of Starbucks, but less so of other chain coffeehouses. That said, I always seek out the independent coffeehouses. Mostly, I was sold on the name (Rustbelt) of this coffeehouse in Downtown Toledo, just a few blocks from the small cluster of downtown mid-rises. Inside, it has the open floor plan with exposed ceilings up above, which works very well here and fits the industrial Rust Belt mood. The seating options were to my liking: big butcher block type tables meant to be shared, smaller tables, and upholstered seating with coffee tables. I wish I could have stayed at Rustbelt longer. It was a warm and humid summer day and I had an iced tea and a pastry. The items were tasty. The pricing was fair and the service was unremarkable, but did lean toward being good natured. Parking is available right in front along the street, should you want to keep an eye on your car. That said, I couldn't get a read on the location ... it seemed that there were other eateries and bars nearby, so maybe that meant it was okay. Also, I couldn't figure out where the customer base came from. Usually, bohemian coffeehouses have bohemian enclaves nearby where the bohemian people live. I didn't see any, or maybe I didn't look long enough. I couldn't imagine them being suburbanites. Lastly, I believe I've always seen Rust Belt spelled as two words. If they want to stylize this and go with one word, that's their prerogative. So, what you have here at Rustbelt Coffee are good tea/coffee with pastries to choose from, fair prices, decent service, and a spacious open interior plan where the climate control system was working very well. That sounds like 4 stars to me.
