Steve M. "I tried to post a comment about my visit on the Ghostlight Coffee Facebook page, but rather than comment or follow up on it, they deleted it. So, I'll try to recreate the content here.Their coffees are always good, and today was no exception (hence, the 4-star rating). Their baked goods are usually good too, so when I saw that they had a "Black Forest Cherry Cake", I was excited to get one. Sadly, I was greatly disappointed. Really, you can't just make a chocolate sheet cake, top it with super sugary icing, toss a maraschino cherry on top, and call it a Black Forest Cherry cake. There was nothing about this dessert that resembled a Black Forest Cherry cake. I've attached a photo so that you can see what they made. There are plenty of good recipes online for this, and I'm including one here so that anyone can get an idea about what it SHOULD have been.https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020807-black-forest-cake"

Rebecca M. "Love their bagels, I get so used to chain bagels that I forget how big and chewy Everything Bagels is! I'm not a bagel snob in the slightest but they know how to do dough!The perfect amount of cream cheese is always what I'm looking for and they do it well. Between the blueberry bagel and the salt bagel, I'm not sure which is my favorite. If you're thinking outside the box, go for a pizza bagel on an onion bagel; 5 stars everything!"

Tori B. "An Oxford staple and MUST HAVE. Trust me there is just no way you can be disappointed with these amazing bagels. Not to mention their very large menu. I'm pretty sure they can make whatever your mind comes up with. A place I visit often. Service is bar style, order when you're ready. When at Miami University or just around Oxford, Ohio you must try this place!"

I heard about this cafe from local friends at the college I attended. The drinks my friends and I had were excellent. The place has a cozy, comforting atmosphere and consistently serves great drinks.

I had lunch here with my daughter on Sunday. It was really busy but luckily we were able to find a table. The line move quickly, despite how long it was when we got there. They have a variety of bagel sandwiches and wraps. They also have soups and breakfast sandwiches.I ordered the Everything Sandwich on an Everything Bagel. My daughter ordered the Roast Beef Philly on a Cheddar Bagel. Both came with a bag of kettle chips. Both sandwiches were very good! Both having tried each others - we both thought that mine tasted better but the Roast Beef Philly is pretty good too. The service was very friendly and quick. I also bought a bag of their bagel chips. So good!! The best bagel chips I've had in awhile. They're crispy without being too hard. Seasoned well without being overly salty. Delicious! I will definitely stop back in soon.

What a great find in the heart of Oxford. If you love bagels this is the place for you. Loads of fantastic and unusual bagel sandwich combinations. Breakfast all day. Limited seating but take your bagel to go. It's worth it !!

The service was quick and easy. The menu is posted on the on the wall and you order with a person instead of through a speaker. This is better than the leading coffee shops. The taste is smooth and fantastic! The drive through is quick and convenient.

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!I should've known when I got there around 11 and there was no line. I ordered two bagels, blueberry and pretzel. Got home and I couldn't tell which was which. The blueberry bagel had one single blueberry, was quite hard, and tasted like nothing. This is not what I remember! I don't see this place last much longer.

We actually got lost and ended up a few miles from our original destination. Maybe Yelp can help locate great coffee and bagels? One block down on the right!We definitely found great bagels. They are very reasonable priced, too. The variety is large. If you order creme cheese, beware, they will put it on heavy. We decided on the breakfast special of sausage, egg, and cheese on a 1/2 croissant. It comes with a Small Coffee for $5.50. We also got day old donuts for 60 cents each. Not only was the price right, but the food was pretty good. The staff was friendly and had things well organized. I just love fast service. I only wish we had more days here and could visit again! 03/22

I overheard someone talking about this as their go to lunch spot downtown, so I made it a point to check it out. I love a good bagel, and Cincinnati has quite a few to offer. I was a little confused about the setup and ordering process, and it was crowded in the small store, but the kind person at the register walked me through it and didn't rush. There are lots of bread and bagel options, and you can get all sorts of sandwiches on any of them. I went for a rueben on an everything bagel, and it was very tasty! Maybe not the tidiest lunch, but we have a sink in our break room, so I'm not afraid of a little sauce. I tried the potato salad as a side, as well as an unsweetened iced tea, and both were good! I think this is a nice addition to downtown!

I couldn't believe it when I found out about this truck--no more 45 min. drives to Oxford.The bagels are 98% exactly the same. For some reason, I feel like they're a touch smaller and the ingredients/taste/flavor/construction/silver wrap are so, so close but not an exact replica as if you ordered from B&D directly in Oxford. I'm sure as many, if not all, of the ingredients as possible have been matched, but something is different about them.All of the people that I have seen working have been incredibly friendly and super nice. They've just been getting started and I'll definitely give them another shot to see if my review holds weight or needs to go up, but the customer service is definitely a "5."I want to warn you: you're going to suffer sticker shock. There are two reasons for it. 1. Each bagel looks like they are $2 above what you would pay at B&D directly. For an already kinda, sorta expensive bagel that's going to hit hard. 2. The other one is unexplainable: they charge a sales tax and I can't for the life of my figure out why. I have no idea how many food trucks I've been too, but I can't recall a single one charging sales tax. It's food literally meant "to go."With all of those extra numbers, even ignoring the tip prompt from Square, and it's like a 25% upcharge on an expensive meal. I love B&D, I'll give the truck another shot, but I was really thrown off guard when two bagels came just shy of $30.

Courtney P. "Who goes here? I often asked myself that every time I passed this place on my way to work or to Bruegger's for an overpriced bagel.Well now I do!This place it pretty good. I stopped in one morning for work because I was starving a knew my plan of going through my day without breakfast was dumb. Upon arrival I could barely get into the door, the place was littered with Hughes High School students, Even the staff looked a little peeved that there were so many of them in there at once. I pushed through and managed to order myself a sausage, egg, and cheese "omelet" sandwich on a croissant and then stood back and waited....and waited. I did learn the cookies were pretty good because literally every kid that came in ordered them, requesting that they be warmed up. I ended up picking up a few chocolate chip for myself while I waited forever to get my food. The breakfast sandwich was pretty darn good for $3.50; better than anything I would have gotten from Mickey Ds. The cookies were also quite delish (better than Insomnia's overpriced stuff). I will definitely be returning here for lunch. The traffic of students in the morning was a bit much for me. But I will definitely swing by again!"

Rachel M. "AMAZING! Parked right in the heart of Loveland bringing the good 'ole Oxford Bagels to Cincinnati. I believe they just started as it seemed like more of a soft opening with various hours. It definitely had a following when we were there. We had the Messy Katie and Crunch & Munch and it brought us right back to our college memories! Love seeing this in Loveland. LOVE & HONOR"

Dean S. "Finally decided to give Biggby Coffee here in Springboro a try. It's been here for a short while but it's kind of hidden as no signs posted on Main Street. It's located in the same building as FM(Farmers and Merchants) bank next door to El Toro Mexican eatery. Having never been to any Biggby store I really didn't know what to expect. Folks working here were super nice. Ordered what I would refer to as a caramel macchiato, the lovely folks here called it a caramel marvel. It's a bit too sweet for me(think liquid candy bar) but the flavor was tasty."

Maureen J. "Owners Gary & his wife Michelle are good people. Nice, clean location with lots of food and beverage options. The major plus for me is the full-size salad bar, a rare find in downtown eateries. If I (still) worked downtown, I'd be hitting the salad bar, like all the time.The other plus? They carry those Sabra hummus "Grab & Go Packs" in original and Roasted Red Pepper (my fave!) flavors! That's reason alone to go...that and they have Coke Zero fountain machine!"
