Great little coffee shop with some tasty bites to eat. The coffee is some of the best around. The pies look good too!
I had a tasty breakfast at Lefty's this morning. I had Steak Benedict and coffee in this small corner café. The service was quick and friendly, and tables/floors were clean. Although I didn't order any, they had a large selection of pies to choose from. I definitely recommend this cozy café. 👌
Fabulous place! Great vibe, great service, clean and organized and best of all, the food is home cookin'good!
Friendly and efficient staff. Cute and cozy dine in. Outdoor seating. Was Apple to try a pie I never heard of the sugar and cream. It is a soft Sweetness I enjoyed. Also has a cappuccino. Opens early too! Had a mango bubble tea
I love lefty’s! I’ve happened upon them twice for free pie Wednesdays and am always super delighted with their pie options. Otherwise the food is good and well priced for the portions, and the establishment is very clean! Staff is friendly and seems as though they genuinely enjoy working there.
Loved it! The staff was super friendly in helping us decide what to order, and the coffee itself tasted delicious. It's a nice establishment perfect for catching up with a friend or loved one for a few hours, with a lot of great shops nearby to wander while you sip your beverage. I do wish that they had more seating here as it can get pretty cozy if more than three groups dine in, but there's outdoor seating as well for the warmer months.
We’ve become regulars at Lefty’s in Fairborn and it never disappoints! The lunch options are fantastic and my daughter’s absolute favorite is the strawberry smoothie with kiwi popping boba. She lights up every time she gets one! The smoothie is creamy and perfectly sweet, and the bursting boba adds such a fun surprise in every sip. It’s become our go-to treat whenever we visit. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and great prices make Lefty’s a winner for families. If you’re in the Fairborn area, stop in — you won’t be sorry! We’ll definitely keep coming back. 😊🍓 Highly recommend!
This is a wonderful place to visit for a local, small town breakfast. They have a big menu, which was surprising! They also have an app for those who are or might become frequent visitors so you can order ahead and have faster service and quick pickups. They do have vegetarian options (garden benedict and huevos rancheros) and they do have two vegan options (the green goddess sandwich and the garden salad). I got the green goddess sandwich (pictured with potato salad). My husband got French toast with breakfast potatoes (also pictured). They have a huge coffee/drink menu, AND they also have a big selection of pies! This is a cute and relaxing place to have a good meal, and it really does have a great “café atmosphere”. I was also surprised with how quickly my food was prepared. We didn’t have to wait for our food or drinks for a long time at all. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant!
First time here and I look forward to coming back! I stopped in for a coffee. But I was quickly influenced to add a bite to eat- a pic of smoked sausage slid across the menu screen and I really needed that in my life! It was a very good decision! The smoked sausage was grilled just right, the flavour was wonderful and it complemented my Dutch Apple Pie Latte, perfectly. I had my latte, served hot - one of THE Best Flavoured Coffees I have ever had the pleasure of consuming!!! They have an extensive menu - including a very large breakfast menu. Breakfast is served until 11a. I'm sorry breakfast is over...I really miss that sausage...
Huge selection of sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. I haven't tried the coffee, yet, but the smoothies are also delicious. Service is friendly and quick, and atmosphere is warm and welcoming. This is our monthly stop after a local race, so we always arrive around closing time and order carryout. The food is packaged well.
