Communitea Cafe - Dayton

The cafe was fantastic and the staff was very friendly. recommend them to anyone looking for a friendly tee with family and friends

We enjoyed our high tea very much because of the delicious food and cosy authentic atmosphere. Like stepping back in time.

Our experience at Communitea was mediocre. It was our first time there, but none of the staff explained anything about the cafe to us. I had purchased 3 Group On coupons--one for each of two friends and one for myself. The coupon included a pot of tea and a scone. Our intention was to use the coupons and purchase a small salad or soup or something to our lunches. However, I was immediately told we could not use 3 coupons in one visit at our table. This did not seem to be clear at all in the Groupon ad, nor was it clear on the coupon. My friends suggested that I use the coupon for my lunch--which the host seemed ok with, but it defeated the gifts for my friends. Service was VERY slow, and the host was distant and not very helpful at all. The salad I purchased was supposed to have candied walnuts, but the walnuts were simply, walnuts. The salad was not as pictured on the menu, it was smaller. At one point, the host asked who had the small salad--we were not aware there were 2 sizes. The room itself was pleasant, relaxing, but we did not feel welcomed and, since none of us was impressed enough to make the 25 min drive to return there, the extra two coupons I purchased will not be used. Sorry, but some warmth from the host would have gone a VERY long way. Unfortunately, I was left feeling like I insulted her by buying 3 coupons and inviting 2 friends to try this new experience. We will look elsewhere for a girls lunch after this.

The idea of this place is very cute. The atmosphere is adorable. And there's really not a whole lot like it in the area. However, the service was abysmal. I said multiple times we had never been to the place and they never explained anything. I ordered high tea which was fine but had to ask multiple questions to understand any part of it. We waited forever to receive our tea. And then about another 30 minutes in between pots because the server kept forgetting. We did receive a $5 discount, but I would not tell somebody to go here oh, because the service was very lackluster and the food was just so-so. I'm glad to say have experience to tea room but that is my take away.

This little cafe is quaint. Very personalized service. Enjoyable meal, great dining experience.
