Ghostlight Coffee (Midtown) — Dayton, Ohio

A Dayton Coffee Staple

Ghostlight has built its reputation on meticulous craftsmanship and genuine hospitality. At the Midtown shop, guests experience the same commitment to quality that made the original Wayne Avenue café a local legend: dialed-in espresso, thoughtful brewing, consistent textures, and a balance of creativity and comfort in every cup.

Coffee & Seasonal Creations

The menu features beautifully pulled espresso shots, rich mochas, silky cortados, traditional cappuccinos, and lattes made with house-created syrups. Seasonal specials — lavender, maple, honey, cinnamon, spiced fall drinks, peppermint holiday blends — keep regulars returning to see what’s new.

House-Baked Pastries & Light Fare

Ghostlight’s in-house bakery produces some of Dayton’s favorite café pastries. Expect croissants, muffins, cookies, pop-tarts, biscuits, and rotating specials that highlight seasonal ingredients. The Midtown location often features unique items not found at the other shops.

Bright, Beautiful Space

Midtown’s interior is airy and modern, with plenty of natural light, open seating, and work-friendly tables. It’s quieter than some urban cafés, making it ideal for remote workers, meetings, or intentional solo time. Outdoor seating is available when weather allows, making it a lovely stop before or after a walk along Patterson.

Community & Culture

Ghostlight is proudly inclusive, regularly partnering with Dayton creatives, nonprofits, artists, and community events. The Midtown location continues that tradition, offering a welcoming space for everyone — students, professionals, families, and long-time regulars.
