  I've always loved Boston Stoker and when I lived in Dayton, I would often visit their location in the shopping center at the intersection of Whipp and 48. While driving around on a trip home to Dayton, I noticed they had moved farther south on 48 in what appears to be an old bank. I really like what they've done with the location. The main room is open and has multiple tables and a couch. There are smaller side rooms with different themes--one is a game room, where all their board games are stored and they decorated the walls with board game boards. Very cool. The best part of Boston Stoker though is the coffee. I got a decaf iced hazelnut latte and my husband got an iced white mocha. Both were sooooo delicious--some of the smoothest and creamiest lattes I have ever tasted. Service was quick and friendly. I wish I had a Boston Stoker near me--I would be there all the time! Dayton, be sure to treasure this gem, as you won't want to lose such an awesome and local coffee shop!

  Morning coffee at the bank. Yep, this Boston Stoker location is very clearly a former bank building, right down to the vault in the corner that now serves as the playroom for the kids. Another adult gaming room for adults, plus a small conference room on the opposite side.
  
  In the middle, tables for laptops or talking or, here's a radical idea, drinking coffee.
  
  I chose a large cold brew, iced. It was delicious. Great coffee, nicely brewed and had all the flavor I needed. Oh, and caffeine. Good stuff!
  
  There is also a large cigar humidor for those who are interested in such things.

  This is a new Boston Stoker's location and completely different then there other locations. It's way more hipster and loungy. The coffee is still meh. I never have understood the love people in Dayton have for this place when the coffee is just okay. I do appreciate they offer alternative milks. The staff was super nice and friendly. My son's blueberry muffin was delicious! The inside is very different. They some regular tables, some high top tables, a few conference type rooms, and a "play/game" room. It is pretty small, but has toys and games. A great set up for moms when they need to get out. Great for a mom meet-up as well. I do wish customers would be more observant and give up the room if they seem someone with kids. I just find that to be common courtesy. They also have cigars, which you can apparently buy. Not sure if you can smoke them or not there.
  
  Overall a cool spot, but they need some work on the coffee front.

  Growing up in Dayton, I'm a little chagrined that I didn't love Boston Stoker more. During a visit back home my parents and I stopped into their new location and were completely blown away by the space, the hospitality, and the quality of our drinks. There is free Wi-Fi, which allows for multi-tasking while enjoying a latte. If working isn't your thing, there is also an entire room for games, converted from a vault from when the building was a bank. The staff is incredibly helpful, ready with recommendations, and the drinks themselves are truly delicious.
  Boston Stoker - keep up the great work; I'll be back.

  Boston Stoker has creatively leveraged the shell of an old bank and have transformed it into a decent space complete with a common seating area, stand up tables, game room, and study.
  
  Coffee and espresso drinks are great. I got a Cortado ($2.75) and an Ethiopian Cheney pour over ($3.00). Both excellent.
