Reza's

you're on wayne ave, a stretch of dayton that feels like it's been quietly holding its own for years. reza's sits at 438, an independent roaster with a following that clearly means business. regulars here don't drift in casually and leave indifferent, they come back, which says more than any passing review could. dayton's specialty coffee scene isn't enormous, so a roaster that's genuinely built loyalty on this particular block is doing something right. the focus is on the beans themselves, roasted in-house, which means what's in your cup started its life in this building rather than a distant warehouse. if you're making the trip, don't rush it. wayne ave on a slow morning is the right pace for what reza's is offering.
