Ghostlight has a nice sense of charm, fun artwork, pleasant staff, and mediocre coffee and pastries. It's a comfortable place to sit for a while and work or chat with friends. The seating has become more limited over the past few years, but when I was there most recently I did not have any problem finding a table to work from. The staff is very pleasant, although the espresso in my breve latte was somewhat bitter and I didn't enjoy the coffee enough to finish it. I did not notice any issues with internet connectivity while there.Edit 6/17/22: Internet - 5.7 Mbps down, 2.7 Mbps up

I love both of the ghostlight locations in dayton, but the historic south park location is my current favorite. The baked goods are divine, the drinks are amazing. the aesthetic is lovely and comfortable, and while it is a busy coffee shop I never have issues in the mornings before work having enough peace here to get some work done without being distracted or overwhelmed. I highly suggest this coffee shop.

This coffeeshop is wonderful, very welcoming and comfortable. I was up in Dayton and had some time to kill before going to an event. The people were so nice. The beverages were really tasty. I ordered a double shot of espresso and a bottle of ginger ale. The art on the walls is cool. They have alot of locally made items available. I look forward to coming back here soon.

Very nice, historic building that makes a good cup of coffee. Their menu was outdated and missing a lot, so we had to change our orders. However, the staff was very accommodating. We enjoyed the cleanliness with our biggest gripe being the parking, but what can you do?

My husband wanted to check this place out. Now... I'm a coffee, cream, and sugar type of girl. The fanciest I get is a frappuccino once in a great while, and even that's from McDonald's! LOL! So when he wanted to take me into this... (no offense!) Hippy-Dippy coffeeshop, I was reluctant. An Americano and a bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin later and not only am I regular again (sorry! TMI!) but I can say I survived it and it was a decent little place. Hubby loved it and I was pretty impressed with the house made English muffin the size of a cat's head and perfectly cooked egg I must admit, but the cook did murder the bacon a little. Sorry, chef! All-in-all a cute little place if you like fruu-fruu coffee and "elevated" sandwiches on bagels.

An adorable stop for a morning bite to eat. Wonderful customer service and a nice vibe. They had a delicious choco-chip muffin with cookie butter! Would definitely stop again!

First timer here. Super cute. Excellent coffee. Convenient parking. Great seating. My only concern was ... I asked for the bathroom key. She said “I can’t give it to you until you’ve ordered.” I had already ordered my drink from the gentleman, she didn’t take my word for it, confirmed with him first, then gave the key. I found this unnecessarily petty and silly…you may want to update your policy.

We are out of towners, our family introduced us to this coffee shop. This is in an adorable historic building. I had the dirty chai latte. Although they call it something less "(something) Buddha."This is a great spot for anyone who is studying or looking to work remotely.

I found this silly especially since we had already ordered.

They make coffee even more addicting! I would recommend a latte with some hot honey! Yum
