Three dining treasures to discover in charming Tipp City
During the holiday season, a visit to Tipp City should involve two missions — shopping and dining. Neither will disappoint.
Downtown dining highlights in walking distance from shopping include Harrison’s, Coldwater Cafe, Sam and Ethel’s and the Grounds for Pleasure Coffeehouse. Uptown and a short car ride away, dinner can be enjoyed at Greenfire Bistro. Hickory River Smokehouse is also nearby, as well as Hinders (famous for its wings).
The options range from a snack to a high-end dinner. Here are three great dinner spots worth stopping at in downtown Tipp City.
Coldwater Cafe and Catering

The Miami County restaurant, founded in 1994, is a quick 20-minute jaunt from downtown Dayton. Once you have arrived in the quaint downtown, the restaurant will begin to charm you the minute you step through its doors. Housed in a regal former bank building, the exterior doesn’t even begin to hint about what’s inside. The cozy, quaint décor, peppered with flourishes of European inspired flair, is broken up into several rooms with distinct personalities — a warm, inviting bar, a main dining room, the bank vault, the boardroom, a private outdoor deck and a second floor that can be rented out for exclusive dining events for larger parties.
