Gem City Market - Food & Drinks category in Dayton

"My mother reserved the kitchen from 8am-6pm checked on everything the last three days before our actual scheduled date! Just to come here and for them to say she’s on the list but they didn’t know she was coming! They had an inventory “team” in the kitchen instead of the back room! Because that’s actually empty as I write! The “manager” said they would be done in 20min. They have taken up space for way over an hour! It’s uncomfortable to cook and bake and be comfortable doing so with people around that weren’t supposed to be here at your personal scheduled time! My mom still had to pay $50 for the reservation even though… this lady is STILL sitting here! This is disgusting and also might I add VERY unsanitary considering BOTH people that won’t leave keep coughing! And I HATE! Germs. I would recommend coming IN a day before and at least 30min to an hour early to check the place out and make sure you’re straight! STILL SITTING HERE! In my personal opinion NEVER AGAIN! And I have two stars because I’m still going to bake and cook and try and enjoy my family time that was reserved! 👎🏽🙏🏽"

"They have a wonderful party room in the back. It is perfect for all kinds of functions. Just make sure you bring your own power straps because there are not a lot of plugs."

"I first moved to the Dayton area this was the 1st store I went to. They made you feel so welcomed and they store was clean and environment was uplifting. Great people"

"Always have fresh food and it's somewhere to go so you don't have to get on the highway to go to a grocery store to get decent food, prices are a little higher, but it's worth it when you're in a food desert."

"It's finally here! Perfect location on a major street. I noticed many people walking to the store (this is important). The store is set up in a way where you can find what you need. There is a cafe there (Third Perk Coffee). The store is well lit and colorful. You cannot miss it off of Salem. The staff is extremely helpful and the prices are affordable. There is a community room with free story books for children. The community kitchen is awesome. Their community room has several classes for the community room. There is also a health clinic that offers a variety of service. I can go on and on about how amazing this place is. And yes, you will find me there at least 5 days a week!"
