I recommend stopping by and not just because it's on Coffee Quest. The atmosphere is great, lots of unique places to sit. I like the record theme and the coffee is good.

Whenever I’m traveling for business, I make a point to visit a locally owned coffee shop, for better or worse lol. Sweet Nate’s absolutely deserves those 4.9 stars. I got a BEC bagel and it was perfect. For coffee, I ordered their house drip, black, with a thick vanilla cold foam— DELICIOUS! The price was also great, like $13 total. I make it to Toledo several times a year, and Sweet Nate’s is officially my new before-meeting spot:-)

How have I never been here before?! Like stepping back into a late 60s English slash post modern coffee shop. My late father would have loved it. Food was good. Coffee was good. Will absolutely go back. Love their story too.

A cafe that sells relevant records, delicious coffee and bacon egg and cheese on local bagels? Around the corner from a local brewery? Oh, and the staff/owner are super cool, I can’t recommend it enough! Pro-tip per the owner: walk out and to the right off of the exit of this place for a quarter mile, walk through the dog park to the left and you will find a great place to enjoy your breakfast.

Such a lovely spot! The French toast latte was so yummy and my avocado bagel had what seemed like an entire avocado mashed on it! There were coloring books and my daughter enjoyed coloring I wish we lived in the area because we would definitely be back!

Great place to stop and grab a coffee and something for breakfast. I enjoyed the latte and cranberry quiche (I was skeptical on trying cranberry quiche but it was savory). They have a few different areas to sit from small tables, a couch or a large table that could seat 12. Parking is convenient. Looking forward to stopping in again.
