Overall a great coffee spot. We popped in for to go coffee. Easy street parking. Charming ambiance with sophisticated coffee selection! Cute eclectic decor with warm tones and wood. Really enjoyed the homemade strawberry "ghost tart" as well!

Nice eclectic coffee shop. Full menu of coffees and teas. Barista was rocking my espresso drink. Please be patient as with limited staff they can't crank out drinks like a major chain might

I stopped here on a whim, while I was downtown getting stuff from a plumbing store. I had seen their signage when driving around so I thought that this was a prime time to check it out. A little quieter time so there wouldn't be crowds trying to get some Java on the way to or from work. I was not as impressed as I would hoped from the hype that I had heard and read. Folks behind the counter were polite but not particularly attentive. With just a few people in the place, it took 5-10 minutes to prepare my drink after I ordered. Muffins looked beautiful but mine had only a few blueberries. For what I had heard of this spot, I was underwhelmed. But I might stop back another time to see if I just caught them on an off day.

Ghostlight became a favorite spot during my recent stay in Dayton. This neighborhood coffee shop had just the right vibe - cozy, eclectic, and absolutely lounge-worthy. Service was prompt and the barista was very helpful with my dietary restrictions. I absolutely loved my iced coffee latte because it was not disgustingly sweet as those that I have been served in other coffee shops. The menu is typical of most coffee shops with essentially any coffee or tea concoction that one could desire being available. I was particularly happy to see several milk alternatives available, as most coffee shops just have half and half for those of us who do not drink milk. I was intrigued by the zero-proof spirits and beverages located in the on-site Bottle Shop. The shop has a collection of non-alcohol spirits (e.g., whiskey, gin, rum), 'clean' wines, non-alcoholic cocktail syrups, and more. The barista was happy to let me sample a few, and they were surprisingly good. Non-alcoholic mocktails are available for purchase too. There is a small parking lot behind the building and street parking is also available. Whenever I am in the Dayton area, I will be certain to revisit this cozy coffee shop!

I always worry about parking when I go near any downtown but there was available parking behind the cafe. I had to try their chai as that is my go-to--unfortunately tasted like the kind of liquid chai you can purchase at the store. I did like seeing the local artist works displayed along the walls and the fun origami decorations hanging around. They do a good job of offering different types of seating for the limited space they have along with access to plugs for working.

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 love the coffee here but DAMN it shouldn't take 1/2 hour to get a latte. I'd come here every Saturday if they could get it together.

What a cute shop! I really like the atmosphere, which is this mix of eclectic and cozy and hipster, but works well overall. I got one of the fancy lattes, which was well made and not super sweet, and one of the fancy poptart pastries, which had just the tiniest bit of too much dough for the filling, but was still excellent.The outside seating is ok - it's mostly along the side of the building and next to a parking lot, but I appreciated having it, and the staff were very welcoming to me being that one weirdo who watched them set up for a block party XD

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
