Absolutely delicious lunch! We sat outside (super cute patio area, touch of a bee problem) . The iced tea is delicious. I'm a huge iced tea fan and a good glass of tea makes my day! I had the Rachel and it was outstanding. Stacked full of turkey, Swiss and coleslaw on toasted bread. Served with house made crispy chips. If you are in or around Tipp City this is a must try spot.

What a delightful experience! The food, service (Madison rocks!) and venue were a welcome surprise. I worked within 10 miles of Tipp City for five years, but never ventured further than the expressway Exit. Shame on me.We started with the roasted brussel sprouts. The portion was generous and the seasoning was spot-on. The crab cake sandwich was expertly prepared and plated. I am guessing, but I suspect the roll was baked in-house. The homemade chips were fantastic - I appreciate them being lightly salted. My lunch companion ordered the quiche and she said that she will definitely order it again. Will I return? Absolutely!

This seems to be a staple in the area. While I had a pleasant lunch here with co-workers, I wasn't close to being as wildly impressed as many. We made reservations and were seated immediately, so that was good. Our server was fine, but nothing special. Not wildly attentive. Their main menu was somewhat limited (the dessert menu was extensive, strangely) and in my opinion, overpriced. Paying $18-20 for a bed of standard mixed greens you get from a bag for a tiny scoop/chunk of protein seemed... Meh. I went with the crab cake croissant sandwich which was tasty and probably the most bang for the buck at my table.I was really looking forward to my crême brulée and it was just, terrible. The top was super burnt (I had to STAB it), got stuck in my teeth, and honestly one of the worst crême brulées I've ever had. I'm embarrassed for them. My co-workers seemed happy with their choices so maybe I just had bad luck? I don't know, change my mind, internet.

We love this place, and we LOVE the bread pudding! We had dinner at Coldwater Cafe during this year's Trans Am Nationals car show that takes over downtown Tipp City on a Saturday evening every August. It's become an annual tradition for us, and we always enjoy our meal. The service was great, the place is super cute and clean, the bar menu is interesting and well prepared, and our meals were fantastic as always. We are already looking forward to next year, and will probably sneak over in the fall just for the bread pudding and maybe some tea. It was a 5 when we stumbled in without a reservation three years ago, and they are still doing it right today.

I can't say enough about this romantic and intimate place. You can have a conversation, there is a dress code. The staff is amazing as is the food. It's very unique as it was once a bank that they repurposed. Lunch is great as well. Unruly children and unruly adults are not allowed.

Location: 19 West Main Street Tipp City, OhioParking: plenty of free parking available - street parking, lot behind restaurant, or public lots within 1-2 blocksWebsite: www.Coldwatercafe.comMenu: see websiteHours: see websiteReservations: OpenTable (recommend having a reservation)Another fabulous dinner celebrating a birthday at Coldwater Cafe.Known for their signature cocktails, fabulous menu, and friendly staff - this is a favorite spot for lunch or dinner.The menu changes seasonally and on the weekends there are special menu items as well.I must admit I am usually torn between seafood or steak and tonight was a real dilemma since they recently added a beef ribeye to their regular menu and featured a sea bass entree as one of tonight's specials.These are my 2 favorite dishes here of all time.Our table of 5 chose wisely:First course to share: tuna tartare, artichoke dipSecond course: house salad (for 1)Third course: 3 filet mignon entrees plus 2 ribeye steak entrees. All perfectly cooked to medium rare and absolutely perfect paired with mashed potatoes and asparagus spears.Dessert course is a real struggle but we enjoyed sharing the English tea cake and the frozen peanut butter pie with hot fudge.We had 2 rounds of cocktails (their old fashioned is really good) but definitely don't skip their wine menuThe service here is impeccable.The food and beverages are even better.

I don't know where to begin! My food was AMAZING! My server knocked it out of the park and every employee was friendly and helpful. I had made a reservation and they put us in the "vault" at a table along the back wall which was perfect for my friend and I to catch up. I could not have had a better experience if I had orchestrated it myself. You will not be disappointed if you go there as long as you are expecting to pay for a wonderful meal and not a McDonalds Happy meal price.

We really enjoyed this place. We are from out of town and had read great things about it. Very impressed with this restaurant, Kelly was our server and was very friendly and prompt! Husband and I both ordered the salmon, he ordered a wedge salad and I had the summer salad, very delicious! Kelly offered us the English tea cake as a complimentary dessert and we both loved it! Also the bread is freshly baked daily, it is so good and she provided us some extra to take home. We will definitely be returning, hopefully soon!
