We took a quick trip from columbus to Dayton and were instantly impressed. This is definitely a cafe that loves its city and features many locally made wares. We got the garlic cream cheese danish, the Kellie pie danish, the orange monkey bread, and the buttered croissant. My only problem was that the croissant was covered in a brushing of sugar syrup and it would have been nice for it to just be a butter croissant. It was still delicious and perfectly fine just wish it would have been named more appropriately:) Staff are efficient but kind as there is always a line out the door. We were lucky to still grab some seats inside on a hot day; however, there is well shaded seating outside as well. 4 pastries are a lot for 2 people so we could not try any more. We can't wait to go back!!!!

There is a large indoor seating area. There is some street parking. If I had been parked better I would've lingered. Instead I chose 4 items to take away in a box. I enjoyed everything. They have some really interesting pastries and also the more typical ones. It's on the high $ side. In my opinion it's a treat, a special event kind of place. This is not a get a dozen for the kids ball game kind of spot. Again, just my opinion. I hope to return when I can sit and linger.

Parking is on the street, and there's a garage nearby. Upon entering we were advised that reservations were recommended at least 2-3 weeks in advance, but , fortunately we were able to all sit together by the front window facing Ludlow St.No problem, but the seats were unpadded. There is no wait staff at this location, but we always got the attention of workers. Our food was delicious, we all loved our homemade pasta selections. The only thing I have to say is that it is a bit pricey for what you receive. Workers are nice, restaurant is pleasant and clean.

Not to mention, my wife's name is Adelaide which isn't very common, so we definitely wanted to visit. It's located in the St. Anne's Hill area which was actually quite quaint. There is small parking lot right next to the building off of 5th street, as well as parallel street parking. The inside is kind of small, with maybe 5-6 two person tables. They also have a terrace outside with bench seating. Lots of people got things to-go while we were there. Decent selection of baked goods, as well as coffee drinks. The prices were crazy reasonable -- $1 for a cookie!! We tried a maple sausage quiche, brown sugar mini pop tart, brown butter chip cookie and iced coffees. All of it was delicious, and the coffee was really good too. If you're unable to make it to the brick and mortar location, they are also on Market Wagon where you can have the goods delivered to your doorstep!

You can tell they're aiming to put a unique twist on classic brunch dishes, which I can appreciate, even if it wasn't quite my style. I ordered the Gravy'd Cheddar Tots, and my friend ordered the Breakfast Burrito. While the food was well-prepared, I personally found the value a bit lacking for the price. The Gravy'd Cheddar Tots consisted mostly of tater tots topped with eggs, white cheddar, and gravy. I basically paid $16 for 2 eggs; I left more hungry leaving than I did coming in. I understand that their menu is designed to be creative and different from a traditional brunch spot, but I found myself missing some of the more classic breakfast elements. In the end, it just wasn't the right fit for my preferences, and I left wishing the meal had been a bit more filling.
