This restaurant housed in a former bank building in the heart of downtown Tipp City offers quality dining in a small-town setting. The decor is warm and welcoming and is a delight for the senses. The fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere while the full bar allows patrons a relaxing stop while awaiting a fabulous meal. The inviting atmosphere encourages relaxed conversation. You may be surprised to find that a restaurant in such a small town has some rather sophisticated choices on the menu alongside your more normal fare, with entrees such as ostrich being offered. If you are looking for a decadent dessert, look no further than the butter-drenched English Tea Cake! An easy drive from all points in the Dayton area, words cannot do it justice. A visit is a must and will be the first of many.

    food is excellent and flavorful. I have dietary restrictions, primarily sodium and sugar, and there are no healthy choices on the menu. The sauces and accompaniments are very tasty, but also salty and often sweet. I can't dine there as often as I'd like. I'd like to see the kitchen turn their talents to also crafting some "healthy" items to also add to the current excellent menu.

    Coldwater Cafe never fails to deliver. You can depend on the food being delicious, well-presented, and carefully served. The selection of entrees is diverse but not overwhelming. You cannot beat the desserts. The chocolate cake is wonderful. We in Tipp City are so lucky to have this jewel of a restaurant.

    Dining at Coldwater Cafe is such a pleasure! The atmosphere is cozy, it's quiet enough to carry on a conversation and the food is amazing! There's nothing on the menu that isn't delicious and there are many choices! And all the desserts are made on property by the pastry chef. It's excellent for special occasions or for no reason at all. Must try! You'll be back time and time again! Favorite dining spot for sure!

    Delicious as usual. We come here often because it is so good! Had the mussels in wine sauce-the best! New York Strip steak was perfect. Get the carrot cake and share. It's huge and yummy.

    My husband and I first time at Coldwater Cafe. Celebrated my birthday and everything was exceptional from dirty martini (thanks John) to the last course of our meal! Kelly was our waitress and an excellent experience server. We will definitely recommend and come back. I highly recommend mussels for the first course of your meal.
