RUSTBELT COFFEE REVIEWS

This coffee shop has been the highlight of my stay in Toledo! Friendly baristas who patiently explained the piccolo latte to me. It was amazing btw! The wide open area with many different table options made it a great place to get work done as well. And the blueberry-bacon toast thing was one of the most flavorful and original tasting thing I’ve had in a very long time.

Great gourmet coffee shop! Rustic chic warehouse setting in downtown Toledo with plenty of meeting / study options. Top notch custom drinks and pastries.

Love love love this place! Everyone is so nice, friendly & warm every time I go! Their coffee is phenomenal every time, and their food menu is all tasty! It’s my go to spot to either be alone, do some work, have group meetings or catch up with a friend! I’ll always come back.

BLACK KITE COFFEE REVIEWS

Really awesome coffee shop. Spacious and cozy. I had the low calorie breakfast sandwich which was delicious and a large iced mocha latte which was also tasty. It’s the perfect setting for a day of studying and there were several people who came just for the food etc. the staff was friendly as well and there’s a bunch of parking in the lot next to the building. Highly recommend. Had a productive day.

Very good drip coffee and lattes. The bagel sausage bomb is always so good. Atmosphere is great. Just a. Little loud when lots of people are in but the building is very open clean and inviting.

Great people and service, The Ohio Honey and Lavender Latte, Caramel Coconut Buzz and the bagel balls are to die for.

SWEET NATE'S CAFE REVIEWS

I can’t say enough good things about Sweet Nate’s Café! The food is absolutely delicious — the quiche is a must-try, and their baked goods are always fresh and amazing. The coffee is top-notch, and the Italian sodas are so refreshing. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, making it a great spot to meet a friend or sit down and get some work done. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. They’re personable, friendly, and always so helpful.

Sweet Nate's Cafe did an excellent job handling a very large to-go order for us. Everything was clearly labeled, and when I called, they confirmed the order and asked thoughtful questions to be sure it was perfect. Our guests were very pleased and truly enjoyed both the food and drinks. My personal favorites were the Bakla-Vatte Coffee and the Queen Bae sandwich—so delicious. Next time, we plan to stay and enjoy the atmosphere, which felt cozy and inviting even during pickup. Thank you, Sweet Nate’s—we’ll absolutely be back.

Such a cozy little spot! The coffee was perfectly smooth and rich — just the way I like it. I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese, and it was fresh, warm, and had the perfect chew. The presentation was simple but thoughtful, and the vibe of the place made it a great spot to slow down and enjoy the morning. Definitely one of those cafés that makes you want to come back and try everything on the menu.
