One Bistro

This place is a keeper, great breakfast menu (the food is good), great service and seriously an unbeatable price. This is a community cafe that really does just that connects the community. With their community meals on Wednesday and their ability to keep costs down and help the homeless, you can pay it forward and buy a meal for someone and sponsor tables and community meals. It's such a cool place to come. All the wait staff are volunteers. The coffee is supplied by the coffee hub next door so it is way good coffee.Enjoy the massive blueberry pancakes with lemon crème or the massive yogurt parfait. All their dishes are big, low price and big portions and it's all so good. They have some great omelet options and biscuits and gravy. This is such a unique and great concept. If you love making an impact and thinking big picture One Bistro has all of that going for it. It's a massive win and hope to see more of these in the Dayton area one day.

Great food and excellent service. Feels good to do something we always do (dine out) and help someone else at the same time. The hostess was fantastic! We had salad and Italian hoagie. Very good! The house made dressings were awesome. The balsamic vinaigrette was tangy and fresh.

Food - outstanding! Service - Amazing!One of the best club sandwiches that I have had! Soup of the day was Corn Chowder - one of a kind and so delicious!Can't say enough about this place, will definitely be back.Do yourself a favor and try this place the next you are even remotely near Xenia.!!!!!

The food is always great! The salads are always fresh and the pizza is so good! Not like every other restaurant in town. Really love the pay it forward business model! Definitely recommend!

What an awesome concept! This restaurant offers meals for paying customers or those who can't afford to pay. It works on a pay it forward type concept. Volunteers run most of the restaurant with a few paid staff. We ordered from the Saturday brunch menu: French toast and eggs Benedict. Both were very good. The vibe is laid back and warm.

When I first walked into One Bistro, I thought I was just going out for a meal. What I didn't expect was how much that meal would mean--not just to me, but for my community. The food was absolutely incredible--fresh, homemade, and better than anything I could've made at home. But what really stood out was the atmosphere. It wasn't just a restaurant; it was a place where people of all backgrounds came together as equals and I felt seen and heard, as did everyone else who walked in the door.When I learned about the Pay It Forward program, I immediately wanted to get involved. Knowing that my meal could help someone else enjoy the same experience filled me with such a sense of purpose. Dining here has become one of my favorite ways to give back. It's more than food--it's community, love, and hope served on every plate.

Xenia is the Greek word for Hospitality, and One Bistro couldn't represent that better. This place is a beacon of hope and model for all of society. It is staffed by the most pleasant volunteers and the food is wonderful. It is a "pay what you can" concept that benefits those who give, as much as those that receive. We are all One, and One Bistro brings us all together. Thank you so much for the work you are all doing for the community! One Love

Although it is a (questionable) pay-it-forward business model, it is still quite rude to ask for donations from your patrons, especially in front of other guests. I don't think it is a good idea to shame people into giving money to your cause.

Good food but even better visit with Jenna Lynn and co., even when we had to order "to go!" Love what this downtown Xenia place is about! Check it out! We will be back.

I love One Bistro. The concepts of "paying what you can" and being able to "pay it forward" are so compassionate. The staff are always so kind and helpful. The food is also delicious. Such a cute little restaurant with a great cause.
