Downtown Destinations: Reza's Downtown

Wayne Avenue is becoming known as the coffee trail in Dayton because of amazing coffee shops like the newest one, Reza's Downtown. This is the first retail location for Reza's Roast in Fairborn where they sell wholesale coffee & beans. Walking into the shop you'd think you stepped into a coffee shop in Europe with the chandeliers & beautiful decor. The coffee shop is very spacious with plenty of seating. Reza's also has an area that you can reserve for small events. I was there that day for a baby shower and it was perfect for our celebration. Even though it is very elegant looking, it's also very child friendly. They have a Mother's Room for nursing moms and also a child sized toilet in the restroom. The coffee menu is extensive with hot & iced coffees and teas. We were impressed that the iced coffee that my friend ordered came with a metal, reusable straw. I didn't have a chance to enjoy any of the pastries or sandwiches which come from neighbor restaurant, Azra's Mediterranean Cuisine. So, a follow up visit to the shop will be soon to try these out. They also carry Jeni's ice cream which will make ice cream lovers happy! Be sure to stop by this new gem of a coffee shop of Reza's Downtown soon.

Reza's Downtown is located at 438 Wayne Ave. For more information visit their website at www. rezasroast.com.
