About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
This restaurant housed in a former bank building in the heart of downtown Tipp City offers quality dining in a small-town setting. The decor is warm and welcoming and is a delight for the senses. The fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere while the full bar allows patrons a relaxing stop while awaiting a fabulous meal. The inviting atmosphere encourages relaxed conversation. You may be surprised to find that a restaurant in such a small town has some rather sophisticated choices on the menu alongside your more normal fare, with entrees such as ostrich being offered. If you are looking for a decadent dessert, look no further than the butter-drenched English Tea Cake! An easy drive from all points in the Dayton area, words cannot do it justice. A visit is a must and will be the first of many.

    A very nice experience in downtown Tipp City. I informed them it was our anniversary. They had a special table setting and complimentary champagne toast for us.

    The food is always delicious. They have a somewhat limited menu and no dinner specials. Menu items are pricey, but I believe you get what you pay for.  Lots of scrumptious desserts.

    Celebrating a special anniversary, my wife and I chose CC our favorite restaurant in the area. Simply mentioned in the reservation that we were celebrating and asked that they make it special. And special they did! Choice table with handsome silver chargers and a glass of complementary Prosecco to toast the event greeted us. Service was the typical top shelf that CC is known for and the meal selections definitely did not disappoint. CC is a home run every time … so very pleased that it has been a “go to” for us for many years and will continue to be.

    Another lovely evening at The Coldwater Cafe. I especially enjoyed the new shredded brussel sprout salad. My husbands steak was cooked to perfection, and since it was his birthday he indulged in a piece of cherry pie.

    Was a very nice lunch and a birthday for my friend. They acknowledged her birthday and even gave her a tea cake as a treat. Eating in the old bank vault is historical and has a nice atmosphere! Service is friendly and a nice place!

    As always, an awesome experience, delicious food and drinks, and outstanding service. My wife ordered the venison and I had the 14 oz CAB Ribeye…both the venison and steak were perfectly prepared and melted in our mouths!! Highly recommend Coldwater Cafe for a special occasion or just a regular night out for dinner.

    Holy moly, the new menu is out of this world. I am combining two experiences because we ate at Coldwater back to back for both dinner and lunch, but the lunch reservation was not in my name, so I am mentioning theexperience. For dinner, we went all out for appetizers and LOVED. THEM. ALL. Fried burrata, Brie Toast, Truffle Fries, lobster crab cakes, and we also split the radicchio salad and the brussel sprout salad. All superb. I didn't try the soups, but those who did loved them both. Dinners were a variety of steaks and fish, with one pappardelle pasta. We ended the night with creme brulee, cherry pie and bread pudding. Drinks were fantastic and service by Morgan was wonderful. I have to at least mention our lunch because my family was blown away. My daughter deemed the truffle grilled cheese incredible and I totally agree. We also loved the Turkey and Pesto sandwich and the steak salad. We ordered the carrot ginger Bisque again because it was that good! LeeAnn was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the new menu. Thanks for always being fabulous and practically perfect. We will be back very soon!
