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.

    Coldwater Cafe never disappoints. Versatile for all type of occasions and events. Romantic dinner, birthday celebrations, professional and social dining. The menu changes often and is always innovative, and includes several creative vegan and vegetarian options. The ambiance is lovely. Especially when the fireplace is roaring. Attentive service. Impeccable presentation. Highly recommend.

    Always enjoy the consistently delicious menu items, and was so pleased to see so many specials on Valentine’s Day weekend. Some complementary bubbly to start was a nice touch.

    Higher end prices, but an excellent experience and service. You can easily spend a romantic night for a few hours.

    The service, food and ambience at Coldwater Cafe is outstanding. The noise from the kitchen area was a bit loud also dropping stuff on the floor in the kitchen was vibrating the floor as we sat right beside the kitchen near the fireplace. I highly recommend.

    Food in my opinion was not as good as previous times the appetizer, salad and ribeye was not as flavorful. Carrot cake was delicious but overall I was not impressed as I had been with them which of course is disappointing. It was one of my favorite places around Tipp

    Never disappoints! Food was excellent (the quiche was amazing) and the tea cake to share for dessert was the perfect way to finish. Our server, Brandi, is a real pro and always make you feel comfortable. Even though it was Valentine’s Day we were not rushed. Coldwater Cafe has been doing a lot of things right for a long time so it is a well oiled machine. Clearly one of the best if not the best restaurant in the region.
