Peppermint mocha
Sasha M.

You might miss this cute little spot if you didn't know it was here. The staff was super friendly with lots of good recommendations. I loved the holiday special the peppermint mocha. And the quiche was to die for! I'll be going back and telling all my friends too!

The food here is good - bet on it - as are the drinks. Several flavors of tea are available, lotsa lattes, coffee, soda, and water (this might not be an exhaustive list). The staff here is wonderful! There's that "local coffee shop vibe." Very nice and I stopped going to other coffee shops even though this one is about 1.5mi further from my house than the nearest chain store location. It's well worth the extra few minutes. Lastly, I've introduced friends to this place, ergo I highly recommend it!

Wow! What a gem! My daughter recommended the Nutmeg Cafe since she wanted to try it out for the longest time. We made a lunch date - and here we were. The cafe doesn't look much from the outside but is super pretty. The staff soo nice!!!!! The food is sheer amazing. We both ordered a salad. It was so fresh and sooo delicious! I also opted for an order for a cup of squash soup- it was heaven on earth!

Eating area!

Friendly staff, drinks were good, but breakfast sandwich was bland, overcooked eggs, and bacon did not taste fresh.

Yum! Met a client at Nutmeg this morning. It was the first visit for both of us and we were delighted! I had a jasmine tea, which was wonderful. The client ordered a Millionaire Bar and made me eat half...and I was okay with that! Definitely too rich for breakfast. I will be back!

Caprese Panini and Nutmeg Steamer. Ohio Farmhouse Breakfast Sandwich and Cappuccino.

The pictures on Google make this cafe look super old but I was really surprised that everything is very modern and cute in person! Farmhouse sandwich was gigantic with fluffy soft eggs. It was thoughtful that they served the cappuccino with a piece of chocolate like in Italy. Nutmeg steamer was 12/10! Sweet but not too sweet for those who lean away from coffee. I'm glad the money went to a family business that puts so much energy into their work.

It's a little hidden and hard to spot. It's worth looking for though. New place that opened up at the shopping center next to the paint store (same side as McDonalds and across street from Kroger). The coffee was spot on and it's good to see another local coffee shop that's not a Starbucks. It was a little busy so that's a good sign, but help support this local business. Again, it's hard to see and the signage isn't the most conspicuous. We wouldn't have noticed it if we weren't shopping for paint.

Table 33 - Chateaubriand was perfectly cooked!

This local restaurant is one of very few not only survived through COVID but also thriving! My…read morefriends and I used to meet up for brunch at the old location before COVID. During COVID, they made adjustments to keep the business going without losing their focus on the food preparation. They worked through the struggles like everyone else but slowly getting back on their feet and moved into their new location. This new location totally elevate the level of the entire dining experience compared to their old location. New location decorations is tastefully done - fancy but comfortable, you won't feel under dress if you wear jeans! The bar selection is great - enough for me to think about what bourbon I want for my Paper Plane cocktail It is obvious that I'm "somewhat" a regular....The service is always on target, food is consistent and fresh! I was just there this morning for brunch - I have my ALL TIME FAVORITE "Chicken & Waffle". Highly recommended. I always tell myself to try something different, I always go back to my "first love"! From the first time I had it at the old location to this morning, it is still the same except the food was plated much fancier than a decade ago! Also, the mimosa is still good as usual. This morning, I asked if they have pomegranate to make the pomegranate mimosa.... I was so excited to hear "YES" Totally made my day! If you don't often go to downtown for dinner, try Table 33, they offer valets parking during dinner time (over the weekend only). A MUST TRY - be sure you save room for dessert in their beautiful Dessert room after dinner! You will not regret it. Note - the pictures include dinner back in June and breakfast this morning!

We went into Table 33 with pretty low expectations. We'd been in Dayton the weekend before for a…read moreconcert and had a disappointing experience at another highly rated restaurant. Table 33 was within walking distance of our show at the Victoria Theatre, so we gave it a try. Let me be clear: Table 33 isn't good "for Dayton." This place could easily compete with some of Cincinnati's best restaurants. When you first enter, the host area feels pretty typical, so there's no indication of what's waiting beyond it. But as we turned left toward our dining area, we were shocked by how beautifully the restaurant opened up. Tucked throughout are gorgeous, quaint little private dining rooms. And I mean little in the best possible way. Some looked intimate enough for just you and your plus-one, while others could accommodate maybe four or six people. These aren't large event spaces. They're cozy, beautifully designed rooms for an intimate dinner for two or a private evening with a few friends. We told our server it was our first visit, and she walked us through the food and cocktail menus. We both ordered the Raspberry Beret. She completely undersold it. The bartender personally brought our cocktails out and explained the preparation. The cocktail is sous vide, then strained and allowed to rest for several days. I was fascinated. It arrived with three gorgeous blackberries and fresh mint attached to the glass with an adorable mini clothespin. Almost too pretty to drink. Almost. Because the Raspberry Beret was outstanding!!! From the technique to the flavor and presentation, there was genuine craft behind it. That's when I realized we'd seriously underestimated this place. Then came the Wild Mushroom Tempura and House Focaccia. The focaccia was warm, soft, buttery and delicious. Those mushrooms, however, made me ANGRY. Not because they were bad. Because I don't get to Dayton often, and suddenly I was faced with the very real possibility of driving 40 minutes for mushrooms! LOL Lightly battered, meaty and incredibly flavorful, the wasabi ponzu aioli and chili crisp brought creaminess, heat and brightness. They had me questioning my commitment to meat as a protein. I was planning my return visit after the first bite. For dinner, my fiancé ordered the Pan-Seared Scallops and I had the Chateaubriand. I don't often look at someone else's entrée and think, "You know what? I want his too." But then those scallops arrived. They were huge and beautifully golden, with the kind of sear that makes you silently wonder, "If he really loves me, he'll give me one." He did not... :) and to be fair, I didn't ask. So my eyes ate from his plate while he confirmed what they were telling me. He loved the citrus with the seafood and the velvety sauce. My Chateaubriand was gorgeous. Medium rare and perfectly even throughout. The petite potatoes were lightly roasted and salted, and as a sucker for root vegetables, I devoured the roasted carrots and beets. But the potato slaw? Brilliant. Those thin, crisp potatoes added exactly the texture the dish needed. I rarely finish an entire restaurant entrée. You would have thought I licked this plate clean. We were watching the clock because we still had an 8 to 10 min walk to the Victoria Theatre. Then our server casually said, "I noticed you marked maybe for the Dessert Room." Excuse me... (insert dramatic pause) Dessert ROOM?! I looked at my fiancé, who explained, "Yeah, I saw it when I made the reservation, but I wasn't sure what it was or if we'd have time, so I marked maybe." Well, now I needed to know. I didn't care if we had to sprint to the show. At minimum, I needed to see this room. And somehow, Table 33 delivered AGAIN. The Dessert Room is fabulously whimsical. Eclectic chandeliers stretch across the room against a beautiful soft gray backdrop, with comfortable upholstered chairs inviting you to settle in. There was nothing hard about this room. Everything felt soft, warm and intentional. The room felt designed to change the pace of the evening: sink into a comfortable chair, order something sweet or a dessert cocktail and relax. I genuinely wanted to stay, sample the desserts and try a couple of those cocktails, but we had a comedy show waiting. So we chose the affogato. Even that received the same attention as everything else. The espresso had none of that overly roasted, bitter flavor, and the gelato was incredibly smooth and creamy without a single detectable ice crystal. We enjoyed every bite, paid our bill and headed toward the Victoria Theatre. And talked about Table 33 for nearly the entire walk. That probably says more than anything else I could write. If you're in the area for a show, spending an evening downtown or simply looking for an excuse to explore Dayton, add Table 33 to your list of adventures. As for me? Apparently I'll be driving 40 minutes for mushrooms.
