    I'm giving 4 stars for the coffee, but I would give them 2 stars for the event space experience. First on the regular Rustbelt Experience: the coffee is great, the price is right on point with every other independent on coffee shop in the area. It's a very cool vibe, the staff are friendly, the space has an industrial unique feel. I would definitely come here for coffee, a meeting, or to hang with friends. As an an event space for rent 1-2 stars. When I write an event space, I don't expect to be catered to or to have an assigned event, space attendant, but at the very least they could remove the garbage and offered to help arrange tables and chairs, etc. If I pay for an event space, I don't think our guests should have to take out the garbage. We rented on a very busy Saturday morning, we had zero accommodation day of. It was weird to even ask for ice or for water for our drink table. The space is VERY dark. The large windows likely provide a lot of natural light, but one thing about Ohio winters... They are short on sunshine! The overhead industrial lights are high into the ceiling, which is black. And with black walls on top of the black ceiling, it is literally dark. Luckily, with our thing we had candles everywhere. They need a little more lighting options, including some Laura layups or closer spaced and lower hanging overhead lights. Had I known about their deplorable religious/political/non-humanitarian stance. I don't think I would've even walked in the door. I can tell you I won't be walking back in.

    Iced chai w almond milk. Top tier!

    While I was never able to step foot into Rustbelt myself, I greatly enjoyed their iced chai while I was staying in Toledo. My mom brought me back several and I must say, it was the best chai I've had in years. The perfect balance of sweetness, spices, and black tea, and just enough almond milk to make it creamy. I wish they were in New Orleans so I could get one every day!

    Space is bright and spacious 4/5 Parking ample street and a small 20 car spot 5/5 Staff friendly and knowledgeable 4/5 Speed 4/5 Tl;dr I'd return here over others in the area. Went to Maddox and Bella for 8 (says it opens at 8 on sat but had a sign on the door saying they'd open at 9). Rust belt is less than 5 mins away. Glad I went.

    Rustbelt is a perfect place to spend a lunch break or business meeting downtown! The service is very quick and all of the baristas are very friendly. I like that their menu is simple and the seasonal options always provide something to look forward to!

    Workshop and an everything bagel
    Jay T.

    Delicious bagels at a reasonable price- I got an everything bagel with cream cheese and my Bride got a vanilla cinnamon bagel with cream cheese. We really enjoyed them- and I'm kind of a bagel snob. The sign in the window says "Proudly Serving Actual Coffee," and they are. I asked for "a regular coffee," and got what they call "the Workshop." Which is a cup of coffee as smooth and dark as Barry White's vocals. Bride got a tea latte made with English Breakfast tea for maximum caffeine. She described it as "delicious- lightly sweet but not cloyingly so." Altogether with tax it was $14 and change. Well worth it! I'm definitely planning to come back while we're in town.

    Great coffee in a great in a refurbished rust belt setting. Their large latte comes with a generous 4 shots. Got a Russian tea cake make this an annual stop on the way to up north Michigan.

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Toledo is RustBelt, which I visit several times a month. It is always quiet and clean, and the service is very fast! In December, I tried their Christmas menu, and it was delicious. Surprisingly, even with all the marshmallows, it wasn't too sweet, which was lovely!

    the interior of a coffee shop

    What a fabulous coffee shop. I definitely didn't expect to find a spot like this in Toledo. Clearly the joke is on me. After parking my car in their private lot, I walked in and was shocked to find a community hub. Not only did they have the option to pay for a coworking space in the back, but it was filled with people. Whether they were there catching up with old friends or to get some work done, it was obvious if you lived in town this is where you would go. After taking a look at the drink menu and scanning their behind-the-counter treats, I landed on a vanilla latte with soy milk and an everything bagel. The service was spot on and friendly. It didn't take long for both of my items to be prepared and from there, I popped a squat, and got to work. I sat at a community table that had a ton of electrical outlets. Thank you for that! The wifi didn't have a password and worked pretty well. There's no doubt that I would come back for the coffee AND the atmosphere. And will likely do so as I travel to Detroit for work every now and again. I can confidently say that Rustbelt deserves five stars all the way.

    Expresso is super bitter, Iv tried a few different lattes but never find it drinkable...

    Seasonal coffee flight

    You could either sit with the quiet kids (adults) or sit with the rowdy ones. In other words, there's a quieter work space in the back of Rustbelt, lol. I enjoy both sides whenever I visit, and depending on the reason for my visits. I love the ambience of Rustbelt and the friendliness of their staff. There's motivational quotes on the walls of their quiet workspace is amazing! The caffeinated beverages are amazing! I My seasonal "go to" bev is their coffee flights to sample their new drinks.

    Espresso on ice and an iced tea I enjoyed on August 19th, as I did some work on my iPad.

    I typically avoid this place because of my own politics (Rustbelt is directly connected to an anti-gay, anti-choice church), but a friend invited me to meet him recently and I never pass up a chance to have some coffee! While I prefer the coffee from the nearby, super cute, Maddie & Bella, I have to say the espresso and iced tea I ordered at Rustbelt were both delicious! And the staff was super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere really is killer too, and offers a lot of instagramable moments. In this new "work from home" world we live in, Rustbelt offers some really killer opportunities to grab a table and get some work done. The wi-fi is fast, there are a ton of seating arrangements for your meetings, and they even have a few more private areas if you need that. It is a thoughtfully designed space, with a ton of space for crowds, and since there are currently no other co-working spaces in downtown Toledo, this is really a great choice if you need to get out of your home-office. Will I be back? Probably not! But if you're ok with Rustbelt's politics, or like many that eat Chik-Fil-A you just chose to turn a blind eye when it comes to food and drink, definitely check this spot out!

    I walked in and saw a sandwich on the grill, and immediately thought, that looks great! I asked the…read morecashier if I could have that same sandwich, and he said it was actually made for himself. I said, could I have the same thing? And he said "you know what, just have it I'll make myself a new one." The chef offered me to try a piece first because it was off-menu, and it was the best thing I've eaten in Toledo. They charged me $10 flat and sent me on my way with the sandwich. Great Service, greater food.

    YES!!!!! Finally,…read moreafter nearly 10 years living back in Toledo, this place has opened! Real NYC-style chicken and rice. If you ever lived in NYC you know what I'm talking about. This is the real deal. The guy who runs it used to run a deli in Brooklyn. Toledo has plenty of good Lebanese shawarma platters, but this is a different category. Nothing else scratches the itch. They upped their price to about $15, but when they did that they increased the portion size and included a drink and a bag of chips for free, so I think it's still a pretty good deal. Often they'll mix in some fries with the platter, too. As well as lettuce, tomatoes, and grilled onions and peppers. And they have Vernors, which you can't usually get at NYC halal trucks. So it's almost like NYC-Detroit fusion, the best of both worlds LOL! I haven't tried the rest of their menu much. I tried a lemon chicken sandwich once, and it was not on par with the ones that I've from the better delis in Harlem and The Bronx. It was kind of soggy and salty. I might try more of the subs at some point, but I really think of this as a one dish place for now, in spite of their long menu. I think it's hard to express just how happy I am to have this place a short drive from me. The cost to obtain one of my favorite foods from my home in Toledo went down from about $500 and several hours of travel (the price of a round-trip flight to LaGuardia plus one night in a hotel in Queens) down to about $15 and a 10 minute drive.
