Gather

We popped in really quickly for a quick drink. I love the interior space. It has so much style. I guess I've been sleeping on some of Dayton's spots recently. Both of our cocktails were fantastic. I recommend checking it out.

Great lunch today at Gather at the Dayton Arcade today. You order at the cafe counter & bring your lunch & beverages to you.I enjoyed the roasted chicken & giardiniera focaccia sandwich just roasted right. My guest enjoyed the Gather salad. We ate in the Arcade rotunda. Nice location & quick service in the renovated Dayton Arcade.

Really interesting concept spot that seems to do it all! Great coffee and food during the day, and I've heard excellent cocktails in the evening. We went for a weekend brunch on a Sunday and it was amazing. They have so many fun brunch options, but I was really feeling like a breakfast sandwich so landed on The Spicy Ghostlight with chorizo, egg, cheese, jalapeño maple, and arugula all on an English muffin (they were out of ciabatta that morning). It also came with a choice of a side, and I got the smash brown potatoes which were sooo yummy, drizzled in some kind of herby mayo sauce. I could tell this breakfast was made of high quality ingredients and it was truly delicious. Also tried the Local Honey Latte, sub oat milk and iced. So good!! Loved my visit here.

Excellent place to hide before a busy morning at work flipping through the paper scrolling through my emails

I saw this was a new extension from Ghostlight, so I had to check it out. Compared to the cafe I went to, this one was much spacier and had lots of seating. At the entrance, there are couches and a fireplace. There were paintings and seating on one side and the coffee bar on the other side. There is also plenty of seating "outside." I had the Shanghai fog which is made with green tea and it was good. I didn't try any of their food so I will have to the next time!

The Dayton Arcade just got a classy new cocktail and tapas bar by Ghostlight, one of my favorite Dayton coffee shops!Service was friendly and helpful with drink suggestions. Our cocktails were delicious! The space was beautiful. Will have to come back for more next time I'm in town.

The food was so nice and the ambiance of the seating, peaceful. It was a pleasant experience. The service was delightful and very kind to my toddler.

Lawd ha'mercy! The breakfast sandwiches were the best I've EVER had (and I'm 50+)! I shared The Happy Italian and The Spicy Ghostlight with my partner - WOW! - what a flavor punch with both sandwiches and the side of Smashed Brown Potatoes was also exceptional! It was Sunday and we went for the brunch w/jazzy music; there were DJs (Levitate) and the music was fantastic; really GROOVIN'! I had to have another, fabulous Bloody Mary, so I could stay longer! Thank you, Gather employees, for being kind and attentive! I will Gather again, SOON!

A true Dayton "GEM"On a hot Saturday in August amongst the bustle of Art In The City, I had the pleasure to experience Gather by Ghostlight. The staff was friendly and answered questions promptly (even in the height of lunch service time). --- Drinks - Featuring a full bar and wine selection, the craft cocktail lover in me was overjoyed at the selection of seasonal and classic cocktail offerings. YES THERE IS N/A COCKTAIL (mocktail) options too!---- Food - Modest breakfast lunch and dinner menus feature an array of themed cuisine. Which were all delish, decently portioned, and fairly priced. ---- Ambiance - Serenaded by live local musicians both inside and outside of the establishment, I was able to find a cozy spot to complete my classwork. When I needed a break from the laptop and took a stroll around the restaurant taking in art from local artist. The dark walls, fresh flowers, tiled floors and deep wood accents made for an elevated experience. Final thoughts, this is a place to do it all from cocktails, coffee, study session, food, live performances, art, and community. Next time I am in the city, I will be sure to visit again.

All I need to say is...TOP QUALITY. From the food to the service. This place will become my new regular "Gathering" place to connect with friends. One of the awesome bar tenders, Tori, made me an Espresso Affogato and a custom vanilla coffee beverage with coffee liqueur and it was delicious! The best drink I've had in a long time. My items were so good and appealing to the eye that a few ladies at the bar spotted my desert and beverage and wanted to know what I ordered. A huge shoutout and compliments to Tori!!! Definitely try this cool place out.
