Ghostlight Coffee (Historic South Park)

The OG spot for Ghostlight. It’s cozy, has quirky paintings modified with coffee cups, and they serve tasty coffee. The snacks are great too since I’m usually running around. It’s sometimes nice to grab a quick bite that isn’t a bag of chips. It’s a great spot to meet my clients to discuss jewelry designs, hang out with friends to catch up (I’ve never felt rushed there), and to also grab a cup of coffee and go if you are in a rush. I love the gem designed bike lock, and the blue grey wall outside. In the warmer months I especially enjoy sitting on their picnic tables out back. They have umbrellas so you can be comfortable if the sun is bright. There is a small parking lot, and you can park in the street directly outside. Even with it being slightly limited, in all the years I’ve been going here I’ve yet to experience any parking issues. It’s a nice family friendly spot that I would recommend anyone to visit. Conveniently located near highway 35. If you’re on a road trip it’s not too far off track to get a good cup of coffee. I also highly recommend their new sister store called Ghostlight Midtown.

This is my favorite coffee shop i have ever been too. The atmosphere is great. The people are really chill. The staff is super paitent and friendly. And they have vegan options! :D Local art on the wall and awesome music too. Great hangout place.

Great place to read, hold a meeting, or just relax with a great coffee or latte and a bite to eat!!

First time there. Been wanting to go for a while now. We got the hot chocolate and cherry chocolate muffins. Loved it! They were all very nice, helpful, and just wonderful. The selections are nice too. We can't have dairy, so it was nice to have something we could eat for baked goods.

Cute coffee shop in an old store-like building. Coffee was great and even better you can order before you get here so no awkwardness if you aren't used to ordering coffee from a coffee house. I really like the decorations and the mid-century feel

Very cozy and warm atmosphere. I had been looking for a coffee shop like this since I moved to Dayton!

I have never been to Ghostlight before and one of the employees had just walked in for his shift (I believe his name was Shawn) and automatically asked if I had been helped yet, which I hadn’t and he was so quick to get my order. I got an iced coffee with almond milk and honey and he asked me if the amount of honey, and the color of my coffee was how I liked it. Wonderful first experience, and I think I found my new favorite local coffee shop (-:

If you want a warm, comfortable coffee shop that isn't pretentious or snobby this is the place to go in Dayton. I love the vanilla fig black pepper syrup in my latte but all their drinks are great. The fresh baked goods are inconsistent but delicious when you get lucky. Don't forget about the back room seating too!

Their coffee is just as robust as the celebrities that visit! Love their coffee and Rishi Teas they sell. Mischa Collins from SPN (Castiel)

Simply marvelous! The atmosphere and hosts are fantastic. They have a selection of vegan and gluten free foods. The only downside is that the location can feel small for such a busy place, I had to search and eventually wait for 5-7 minutes for a spot to sit down.
