    Central Perc European Cafe at 2315 Far Hills Ave in Oakwood is celebrating their 29th year in business this week! Congratulations to Mike and his wife Rosie. Bringing a bit of English Ambiance to the Midwest, visitors love Central Perc's popular Afternoon Teas, served from 2 to 4 p.m. The tea menu changes seasonally and Mike is meticulous about steeping tea for five minutes, and instructs new customers about how to approach the imposing three-tiered stand of Afternoon tea goodies of sandwiches, scones and pastries, saying, "Begin at the bottom, and work your way to the top. If afternoon tea is not your thing visit and enjoy breakfast with a friend or come have lunch. You will not be disappointed.

    Traditional Afternoon Tea

    Quaint little cafe near a main road. Lots of character from the founder, who originates from the UK. Park either on several spots in front or in a lot behind the shop. Peak hours are in the afternoon when most patrons order the afternoon tea set so expect higher wait times as the food is made to order. Set starts off with your choice of tea, following the pastry rack later. Our food came about an hour later after our tea was served, which could have been faster. But overall it was an experience.

    High tea

    Had an amazing afternoon having high tea. The place is small with odd mix-matched seating along one side as well as some outdoor seating. The sandwiches were lovely. Ham, turkey, egg salad, cheese, cucumber and potato. My favorite were the cucumber with cream cheese and the cheese sandwich which had caramelized onions. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The desserts were sweet and delicious especially the chocolate tart. But the best item were the scones with jelly and cream on top!! They were dry but not too dry and the jelly was sweet without being overly sweet and the cream was creamy without being overly creamy. All in all they were wonderful.

    Fabulous vibe. Very fresh sandwiches. Unique ambiance. Very friendly owners. Highly recommend.

    It's not kid friendly with tight small dining area but they do offer some fun things for kids inside there larger tables

    Overall amazing scone! Get all the toppings and dining in does have its perks of lovely tableware but I had my kids along so we did the to-go box! ( first picture) They have a back parking section I recommend with a lot of character upon entry to checkout desk. Cash only but I did see Venmo link! (Photographed) Not kid friendly! Exception infant in car seat! No space for stroller either! (Exception outdoor dining) They did offer books inside larger tables with draws which helped 100% with entertainment as we waiting! Small outdoor patio Small indoor dining Typical vibes = older generation, trendy young couples, some college kids ( as a college is near by!) Small Quaint restaurant in a small downtown! Worth it though, go for a date, girls brunch, small meal! (keep in mind there hours though!!)

    Consistently good and friendly service. Nice good sized sandwiches. They opened up tables outside separated for COVID but even for normal situations, it's nice to sit outside away from other people.

    Scones, eclairs, lemon curd tart, finger sandwiches

    A quaint little British-themed cafe in Oakwood with friendly service and a casual, relaxing ambiance. They only accept cash, check, and Venmo. My husband and I ordered the afternoon tea for 2 which included scones, eclairs, an almond based cake, a lemon curd tart, and assorted finger sandwiches. We chose English Breakfast tea among a large assortment of teas offered. The desserts were fantastic and lightly sweet (which we enjoyed!), the finger sandwiches were a little bland and dry. Overall, we loved supporting a small, family owned business and we would return if we are in the area again!

    Scone with Cream and Jam

    A small English tea/bakery in Dayton. The owners are polite and friendly. You get the rustic feeling when sitting inside. Their tea pot, cup and saucers are beautiful. I got the scone with cream and jam. The jam was excellent. They also have sandwiches. I highly recommend paying them a visit. Overall a great place.

    Coffee is good. Service is good. Unfortunately there is no WiFi offered. That is a big part of why I go to coffee shops.

    A hidden gem. High tea is a standout. Soups and desserts are great. A rare find I love to support this hard working couple.

    Ambiance was jazzy and modern and clean…read more Service was fast and meets expectations. We got the foccacia, which was 10/10 (just wished they gave more bread!) We also go the chorizo a la vodka which was 9/10 We lastly got the cheeseburger which was 7/10, good ingredients but have had better tasting burgers. Everything tasted fresh and was locally sourced. We would come back again!

    There wasn't anything inherently wrong with our meal at Corner Kitchen but it was just mediocre…read more Perhaps part of the reason is that we went early to try out the Happy Hour they were promoting and we were the only people in the restaurant. The decor looked more drab and like a diner than I expected. I assumed it would be more like the other hip, upscale restaurants in the Oregon District. We started with cocktails, an espresso martini and an old fashioned, that were very good...my husband commented that it was one of the best old fashions he's had in a while. We then ordered 3 small plates from their Happy Hour menu to share. The shrimp and grits were tasty but only 2 shrimp, even for a small plate, seems skimpy. The charcuterie was some grilled bread, a very small amount of cheddar cheese and sliced salami, some jam, and "pickled vegetables" which were grated carrots and two slices of jalapeno in a condiment cup. The poutine was just odd. Instead of a beef gravy and cheese curds on top of fries, it was deconstructed: a bowl of gray mushroom gravy with a small pile of fries and fried cheese curds. Overall, it was a decent meal and the server was good, but I wouldn't choose it above any of the other restaurants in the area.
