    Seating
    Adam G.

    Finally made it to Press to try the touted up coffee. Coffee is roasted under the Wood Burl Coffee brand (small batch, artisan type). I usually like dark roast, but the only drip coffee they had we went was Cutervo, their house light blend. Too acidic for my palate. They also only offer raw organic sugar -- no stevia or other sweeteners. I understand the whole organic mantra, but at some point you have to weigh the option of appealing to the masses. I was surprised at how small the inside was, with very limited seating capacity. One 4-person table in the front, two 2-person picnic tables in the back corner, and a bar top against a wall with 4-5 chairs. People must get a lot of drinks take-out given the limited seating. They offer donut's from Baker Benji's. I tried a banana cake donut and it was delicious. They also have pastries from sixteen bricks based out of Cincinnati. Baristas were slightly off-putting. Overall, I was quite unimPRESSed with Press and won't go out of my way to return.

    A very good coffee shop in Dayton. Loved their cappuccino. Great ambience. Service was good as well.

    Quick stop for some coffee in the morning. The barista made me a lovely latte with some extra shots. This is a cool local coffee shop with a great vibe. Definitely a fun place to stop more than the big name stores.

    Espresso shots, need I say more? Friendly service, quaint atmosphere and affordable costs. Always a must for a quick pick me up!

    This is a quaint spot in Dayton. I like the open concept of the cafe, which makes it feel roomy for the space that they have. The parking was difficult and there's only a few street spots. They make their own chai concentrate, which I appreciate, although it did still taste a little diluted. The danish was delicious. The baristas seem friendly and there are people that frequent the establishment, which is always a good sign.

    This is the more famous coffee shop that everyone says to visit in Dayton. We were hoping to visit another cafe but that one had already closed. Not a problem since we were headed to the Oregon District anyway. Not busy here at all! Can't sit or anything. Everything is blocked off. COVID vibes. I ordered a vanilla latte. Small! But prices were so cheap that it was unbelievable! I'm so used to paying $6 at least for an oat milk latte. This was around $3? Whoa. Staff was nice. Just 2 of them. Lots of plants in here! A large dragon tree by the window. A Jade plant. Espresso was light but I'll be back! It would be cute to sit in here one day. Lots of natural light. I love all the black and the contrast with the wood.

    Flies on pastry.

    The coffee here is great but there are some issues with this place. Mainly flies on food. They need to go buy some drain cleaner, clean the area better, get some fly traps, etc. Inexcusable.

    I met my cousin here for a relaxing morning chat. The room is comfortable and it wasn't crowded. We were able to have a nice conversation. I had the Chai. It was very good. My only suggestion is to have some kind of pastry or cookie available every day. I love a sweet with my coffee or tea. After reading other reviews, I knew to bring my own!

    Cortado
    Dillon L.

    Found this spot online while visiting Dayton and I'll say it has nice vibes but coffee has me wanting a bit. The shop itself has a clean aesthetic that is really nice to work in or to just chill. There isn't a ton of seating but it wasn't ever at capacity while I was there on a weekday. The music was laid back and at a good volume for working, not too distracting. When visiting a shop for the first time I usually order the drip but I am also a sucker for a good cortado. I saw that the cortado was basically the same price as drip ($3) so I went with that. It isn't really fair to judge an entire shop off after one drink imo but for me this cortado was a bit lacking. Sadly, the shot was pretty sour. Even when mixed with the milk the acidity of the espresso was overwhelming. I'd probably recommend passing on any espresso drinks after that drink experience. However, it seems that their drip is synonymous with pour over, of which they offer three different bean options. This is pretty unique and I regret not trying it, if I were to come back I'd definitely want to try a pour over. It's brewed automatically using a Kalita wave for those interested. So all in all, I like the design of the shop and the love shown to the drip coffee options but I didn't get a dialed in shot of espresso. Would still say give it a try if you're in the area but set your expectations for the espresso bar.

    Cute like coffee bar located just outside of the Oregon District. They don't have a lot of latte flavors, but the service is great and the decor is nice! Definitely recommend!

    Coffee was ok. Condescending barista laughed/scoffed at my wife's order. A literal scoff. Like a movie villain.

    Central Perc European Cafe at 2315 Far Hills Ave in Oakwood is celebrating their 29th year in…read morebusiness this week! Congratulations to Mike and his wife Rosie. Bringing a bit of English Ambiance to the Midwest, visitors love Central Perc's popular Afternoon Teas, served from 2 to 4 p.m. The tea menu changes seasonally and Mike is meticulous about steeping tea for five minutes, and instructs new customers about how to approach the imposing three-tiered stand of Afternoon tea goodies of sandwiches, scones and pastries, saying, "Begin at the bottom, and work your way to the top. If afternoon tea is not your thing visit and enjoy breakfast with a friend or come have lunch. You will not be disappointed.

    1. Cash or venmo... not sure who pays for food with a check but these are your only options…read more.... and no signage at door.. 2. Not friendly place and no service. You need to know how the operate bc they are not going to help you. You need to get your own menu and place your order at counter. 3. Ordered the afternoon tea. Took forever to receive a pot of tea and we had to wait while it seeped at the table. Took over an hour to get some finger sandwiches. 4. Several tables came in after us and were served and finished before we got the tea. 5. Cucumber sandwiches were the best. The other sandwiches are basic, no flavor, very bland. Scones were dry and the desserts are store purchased. Watch the lemon, it tasted bad. 6. Never checked on us to see if everything was good. We have been to so many tea rooms all over the country that I guess I expected better. Very disappointed.
