Leftys is one fine place to eat. The sandwiches are the right size, made with fresh ingredients, and include a side such as pasta salad, coleslaw, or chips. The coleslaw is so very, very good.The staff is pleasant and polite and they get it right.Try Leftys because its the right place to eat. Good eats.

Have eaten here couple of times and always have a really good experience overall. Friendly service. Great menu. I am picky eater and have ordered the Reuben both times I have eaten there, but they have a pretty wide variety. Their coffee drinks are great as well.

Excellent double espresso, I am in town on business and greatly appreciate finding good coffee without a pretentious price or atmosphere. Thank you very much, you guys cured my jetlag.

Their coffee is hands down some the best I have had! I got a pumpkin cake latte and it was fabulous! The breakfast sandwich my husband got was delicious and way better than mine. We were bummed they weren’t open on Sundays to grad a cup before we headed home.

Service was just okay. I was standing up front for a few minutes before anyone came out. I ordered the brown sugar cinnamon iced latte. It was sub-par to say the least. Not much coffee, brown sugar, or cinnamon. I watched the young lady fill most of my cup with milk. I was passing through the town and wanted to shop locally. I certainly wont be returning here on the next pass through.

Great sandwich options, something for everyone & they’re always tasty! Favorite midday lunch stop in Fairborn.

Service was OK, food was surprisingly good. The coffee was also good, but not $2.50 for a 16oz cup without free refills good. I will probably not return.

Not a great first experience. I stopped in at 3:35pm on a weekday after my kids’ haircuts, and was greeted with a very rude blonde woman who instead of saying hello, immediately told us they were closing in 25 minutes so we’d have to take our food to go. We weren’t there for food anyway (just a quick coffee), but still a little strange that you’d kick customers out immediately at closing even if food was ordered well before. Even as people were in line, another staff member was moving people out of the way to take the trash out without saying excuse me. The blonde acted extremely rude and annoyed at the entire experience, to myself and other customers. I was clearly going to order something but since there was a line I asked if my kids could use the restroom- you would have thought I asked to go to her house. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but she made me feel really unwelcome and I’m not sure that I’ll return.

So I finally was able to work in some coffee from Leftys to try and support local, and Im disappointed. I ordered an iced chai and an iced caramel macchiato with an extra shot of espresso. Both taste vaguely of their coffee/chai, but so over milked to make them bland representations of what they actually should taste like.The service was quick and friendly so thats why it is getting 2 stars instead of 1, as Im currently going to go spend more money elsewhere to actually taste what I pay for.

Re
Review №16

Was excited to try this...left disappointed. Should of went to Dunkin or Fifty Five Rivers. Boyfriend got a iced Chai, I got a iced macchiato. Both were mostly milk, very little actual chai/coffee, leaving the drinks beyond bland. Would of been a 2 star review, but the straw they gave out barely reaches halfway down the cup they used.

Leftys is one of the best places to eat at in Fairborn. Fast & friendly service. Get it to go if you like! The dessert (pie) is to die for! The coffee is superb! Stop by & say hi! You wont be disappointed! Also theyre on the left depending on which way youre coming from.

Need to update their hours. Stopped by on a Tue at 10:45am and the door was locked with no sign explaining anything. Hours say 7:30 am on Google and on the door. Annoyed I drove out of the way to try it and it was closed.

Fantastic spot for coffee, sandwiches and pie! They have the best Cuban sandwiches I’ve ever had. I love their coffee too, especially their iced mocha breves. Wednesdays are the best because it’s free pie day. They serve Mehaffie’s Pies and the lemon merengue is my personal favorite. This place is an absolute must if you’re in Fairborn and looking for lunch or a coffee!

We missed breakfast, but were able to get toasted bagels and the most wonderful coffee. Not many indoor seats, but they have an outdoor patio and carryout. Quite a few military service men and women came for takeout. Thats a good sign. Most had placed their orders ahead of time.Excellent counter service with a family feel.

Five of us checked the place out today. We ordered the huevos Rancheros, biscuits and gravy, hot shots, chocolate muffin, some coffees. The hot shots were wonderful, the biscuits and gravy were good. The huevos Rancheros were ok; just not set up correctly leaving the corn tortilla lying flat, soaked and in pieces (just ate them with a fork). The carmel latte was pretty good. When it came to coffees things got wierd. Our party asked for flavored shots...the staff stated it was not possible to add any flavored shots to coffees and that all flavors are accounted for and unable to be added as extras. It was a first time we had ever hear of such a thing. Not sure if they didnt know how to do it or if it was on some weird syrup metering or if the staff just didnt want to or couldnt problem solve without a manager or what. No clue but skip the frustration by not asking lol.

Leftys is one of my go-to places. The food and coffee are delicious! If youre in the mood for a sandwich, pasta, soup, salad, latte, frappe, coffee, or pie, Leftys is the place to go. I am continuously impressed by the diverse menu and quaint shop. Any time I am home visiting I always stop in (at least once but usually daily). We love Leftys!!!

Review №51

I want to start off by saying staff was very nice and professional. BUT, Iced lattes...AWFUL! 24 oz. iced latte, gets only 2 shots (ounces) of espresso. The drink only tasted like milk and a small amount of flavor, in both drinks. The 16oz hot latte gets 2 shots, the 20oz 3 shots. So a larger size only gets 2 🤔.I asked about that, and was told it’s different with iced drinks. Umm, not when you’re pulling a hot shot. It would be different if it was toddy used for iced drinks, the formula/ratio is different. The ounces would actually be more. Bottom line, iced drinks are extremely diluted. Paid $15 for 2 drinks we threw away.

Ive been taught if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all. Coffee was great atmosphere was great but.... The staff was a little on edge. Busy is good for business but learn to relax. All the customers myself included were aware that every staff member was working and kept moving forward. There was no need to keep ringing the bell like that she was elbow deep in pouring a frappe. She was coming for the food... Yet ding ding ding goes the bell.Lovely place only had coffee but it was tasty

I always make sure to give a new business several visits before reviewing. I am so happy that I can give Leftys 5 stars! Leftys has one of the best lattes I have ever had (having lived in 3 states) and their food is very tasty as well. So many unique and fresh options on their menu. While their menu is both diverse and delicious (from what Ive had so far) their customer service is what really sets this place apart. I highly recommend Leftys on Main.

I highly recommend this place not just for the great coffee but their food is top notch. I HIGHLY recommend the jerk chicken salad sandwich, but if a little heat isnt your thing then you can feel pretty safe with just about anything on the menu. Everything I have had has been freaking amazing.

Sandwiches are good and reasonably priced. Plus you can get two halves of two different sandwiches which is pretty cool. Wish they had cold brew coffee specifically but their hot coffee over ice is still good!UPDATE: All of the above is still true but if they could be open when their own website says theyre open, that would be great. This is the third or fourth time Ive showed up during their operating hours only for them to be closed with no explanation.

Review №72

The coffee was really really bad. I ordered on Door Dash so that might be why...I ordered cherry and chocolate favoring and its just really really bad. The cherry tastes like cough syrup.However, the sandwich I got was AMAZING... Egg, bacon, and gouda. So good. And I asked for almond milk on the side and they put it in a little container which I appreciated! I think next time Ill just order plain coffee. Beware of what you order on Door Dash!

Stayed in Fairborn for 5 days visiting the National Air Force Museum. Luckily, I discovered Leftys early on. It was like Home. Start the day with a delicious breakfast and great coffee variations, lunch or dinner at Leftys the best restaurant in Fairborn. Open 7:30am -6:00 pm. Homemade, quality ingredients and original recipes at most affordable pricing. Travel Northeast on 444 heading the opposite direction of the Air Force Museum. Stay to the left of the Y 444 converts to Central straight ahead to Main. Leftys is at the intersection. You wont leave without a slice of homemade pie and Im not a pie-eater !!...its that good. Friendly staff ...youre always welcome at Leftys !

Leftys is one of the best little cafes in the area. Each time my family has visited Leftys we have ordered something different and everything has been very good. The hot coffee drinks, tea, hot chocolate, and food are tasty. Each day there is a different special either for food or drink.

First time Ive ever eaten here. I gave it Five Stars based on what I ordered. I had the Caribbean shrimp salad and a large chai tea latte. The drink was great. The salad was well-balanced. I could tell they took a lot of care and preparing my food there was no miscolored old ingredients on my salad at all. I definitely want to go back and try more things on the menu. Very clean and pleasant.

Absolutely unimpressed! Started off a rough morning at the BMV, found Leftys online and it sounded like a cozy place to lift our spirits...The guy working the counter was pompous, he didnt seem to know the items on the menu even though I had already looked at it in the car.We ordered breakfast with him, to be told by the cook that breakfast was over and that she didnt have sour cream for the Huevos Rancheros.....so they had to refund that to our card because we had already been charged.The coffee structure is a struggle as well.We were going to sign up for their loyalty rewards program but quickly changed our minds.We will not be back!All of this before even tasting the food has started off as a bad experience.Too bad first impressions say a lot because the food was actually good.
