All vegan brunch

It’s wonderful finding a new vegan restaurant, especially one with brunch items (which they serve throughout the afternoon). The restaurant has a cool vintage ambiance with antique decor. They do have a limited menu since they are just starting out with a small staff. I tried the grits dish which was delicious; even though grits made up most of the bowl, the toppings had great seasoning and texture. It was filling enough for me, but you might want an extra side if you have a large appetite. I also got a donut to-go which was very good. I would like to try their Sunday night special dinners as the food sounds more intriguing!

Pros: Good flavors , Vegan brunch and pastries , Guest chefs

Cons: Expensive for Ohio, Single-use dishes and utensils

Good option in Dayton

I was visiting family for the first time in a couple of years and was excited to see a vegan restaurant in Dayton! Got the mushroom sandwich, Mac and cheese, and southern fried tofu, as well as a strawberry shake to just try a whole bunch of stuff; the prices were solid for sure.

Sandwich was good, but I didn’t really dig it coming on cheap white bread. Mac is solid, but an odd choice of noodles that don’t really work with the cheese, and I only got 4 small cubes of tofu in the order, which wasn’t good bang for the buck.

Rating 4 stars because I really respect them making a good vegan restaurant in Dayton, and the staff were so friendly, but I hope they keep honing the menu over time.

Pros: Vegan joint in Dayton!, Nice staff

Cons: Cheap ingredients

Wow!!

I stopped here with my fiancé on a road trip and we both fell in love with their food. I can’t say how good this place is. The atmosphere is amazing and the owners/staff are so friendly and welcoming. It was 10/10 on all fronts.

Pros: Amazing ALL VEGAN food, Friendly, Great space

Delicious & affordable

After hearing about their business struggling on Facebook, my husband and I decided to take a trip to Dayton to support this small local vegan business. There are no vegan restaurants where we live so making a 2 hour trip every once in a while is definitely doable for us. Their donuts are pretty good but remind me of homemade ones I make myself, the chili cheese fries were also super delicious but I was expecting the cheese to be less runny. The gyros and coconut bacon is really what did it for me though. Super delicious food and amazing interior of the restaurant.

Pros: Amazing interior/hangout , Quick service/curbside pickup, Tasty vegan food

Cons: Limited menu , Location(bc for me it’s 2hours away)

Very Tasty Vegan Meals

I've had several breakfast, lunch and dinner items and they are all very delicious. I am hooked on the chicken salad sandwich! It tastes so fresh and light. The fried veggies are very good. The breakfast tacos are one of my favorites. They just added curbside service which is awesome, especially when you are in a hurry. I think prices are good for the amount and quality.

Great place for vegans and non vegans

All the food I’ve tried is amazing. Love the atmosphere. Love the weekly specials. Also love their interactive social media presence. They ask people on Instagram what specials they wanna see. Love it! Everyone who works there is super nice too. They also play good music. 👍🏽❤️

Pros: Atmosphere , Food is great , Has weekly variety specials

Such a bummer

I was so excited to have an all vegan place in Dayton! The building is beautiful and the service was quick but the food was not great. The portions were SO small for the price. I'm all for paying a decent amount for lots of yummy food, but that's not what this is. The tacos were so small and had very little filling or flavor. The biscuits and gravy were dry. The French toast was good, but again, small for the price. I'm so bummed - I honestly don't see many repeat customers without some major changes. It looks like from other reviews maybe the guest chiefs on Sunday evenings are better? But I won't be going back for brunch.

Pros: Pretty building, Nice decor, Fast service

Cons: Expensive, Super small portions, Not flavorful

Great location - Okay Food

Cafe 1610 is a new all vegan spot in Dayton. The location their in is an absolute dream - it's almost worth the try just to walk around the cool old building.
We check outed 1610 on a Saturday morning. The menu was very short, maybe 6 items plus bakery offerings. Everything right now is packaged to-go, but you can still eat in house. Our food was ready to go pretty quickly, which was nice.
The food was just okay (not much flavor) and the serving sizes were small compared to the prices.
I'd like to go back once they get a better footing and maybe try their guest chef nights.

Pros: Quick, All Vegan

Cons: Wasteful to-go containers

Cafe 1610 is a 10!

Cafe 1610 actually turned my sister into a consumer of tofu! I loved those tacos so much too, I ordered a portion for me:) The vegan “shrimp and grits” as I call them was served hot, smooth like vegan butter and gave me all the flavor things: sweet and savory BBQ sauce, hearty, buttery grits and the dark, yet mild, kale to compliment the dish. It’s served with dried sweet potato that looks like bacon. I didn’t know what to make of it other than it’s good. And the colors are pretty too!

Pros: All Vegan, All Delicious!

Delicious breakfast

I highly recommend this breakfast cafe. Great atmosphere and food. The breakfast tacos have a slot of flavor as well as the sweetness of the jelly donut pancake and churro French toast. There are so many options available for any taste; vegan and non-vegan alike. I am excited and happy we have a local breakfast place in Dayton. It’s a must try!!

Pros: Fast service , Delicious food, Friendly staff
