Customer Reviews

"This location is awesome Ive been to both locations. It was a wait to get seated we called ahead and put names down so we didn't wait to long when we arrived. Someone I know gave me that advice. My food was delicious. Warning the pancake is huge I shared it with my friend. The atmosphere is cozy and has different feels depending on where you get seated. I felt like I was at someone's grandma's house. I would go back and highly recommend. Be prepared to be full when you leave."

"This place is big but feels intimate and is fun. They're famous for their huge blueberry muffins. The chef that makes the muffins is featured on their canvas bag. I went here with a large group; we did have a reservation. They were ready for us on time. Ordering and delivery of food went smoothly. They had a vegetarian option of yogurt parfait with hash browns. It was all fresh and tastey. Portions are large and could easily be shared. They have outstanding coffee with several specialty options. The place is very clean. It's more of an experience than only a restaurant. Highly recommend this one!"

"Heard about this place a couple of times when we visited Dayton in the past. Finally made and glad we did. Service was great, and food was even better. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Definitely would recommend a stop at either one of their 2 locations."

"The food was brought out quickly and was delicious! We got the cowboy Bennie's and the country skillet and the cookie butter French toast. It all tasted amazing and the service was wonderful! Erica L even brought out the French toast with a candle for the birthday breakfast. Would return!"

"I decided to try a carry out at this location because the rating was higher plus one in Kettering isn't good. Let's go over the positives: customer service while placing a to go order over the phone was top notch. Once I got inside I was greeted by someone that I thought worked there but he was just a friendly customer! The lady that rang me up was friendly as well. My order was correct and cooked as I asked. Negatives: the food was bland. Nothing had any stand out flavors. I can't explain it, the food was prepared fine but for example the hash browns were just basic no flavor besides fake butter flavoring, the eggs cooked nice but meh, bacon meh, the pancake was totally tasteless. Are they afraid to season/flavor the food? I get having to add Extra salt etc but they should at least try some meal was $18.90"

"First time visiting after living here many years and I understand all the hype! The food was beyond expectations. I got the cowboy Bennie's and thought it was the best gravy I've had outside the south. The pancake was definitely a must order. It was so good that I couldn't return to my regular food after. Highly recommend eating their massive pancakes last to fully enjoy everything. Their blueberry pancake latte was decent but full of blueberry pieces that made the drink difficult to enjoy. Added to my must visit list!"

- Dylan H.

"I ate at The Blue Berry Cafe Bellbrook three times in one week while my kid was at an art class nearby. I give this place major props for three things: everything I ordered came out at once on one big platter (no waiting on missing items!), the fresh-squeezed orange juice was amazing, and the grogg coffee was rich and flavorful. The place was busy every time, but I grabbed a spot at the bar, which is first come, first serve--perfect for a solo diner. I tried the waffle, french toast, and blueberry pancakes, and while they were all great, the waffle was my favorite. But perhaps it was really the butter and syrup combo that made the bread, as I could've slurped it up with a straw!"
