We are situated in the heart of the Warehouse District of downtown Toledo. Our coffeehouse has become a crossroads to a diverse customer and employee base.
Downtown Latté was opened in April 2004. The coffeehouse was envisioned as a place with a warm and inviting atmosphere, where people would come not only for a cup of coffee, but to enjoy conversation with others. The concept for a coffeehouse was then paired with a passion for social justice, serving exclusively Fair Trade coffee. Fair Trade ensures that farmers are given a just and sustainable wage for their product. Downtown Latté is the first Toledo café to have set this standard.
The overwhelming sense of community and identity inherent in our establishment sets Downtown Latté apart from other coffeehouses. It has become an integral part of Toledo’s revitalization within the Warehouse District. It is this atmosphere that draws people in to see what’s brewing at 44 S. Saint Clair.
Downtown Latté started its next chapter in July 2010 with new owners Ron Novak and Jason Binder. They felt it was extremely important to continue this staple as part of the community. Ron and Jason have been living in the Warehouse District neighborhood for five years. They wholeheartedly believe in urban living, sustainability and the efforts of revitalization in Toledo’s central core. With such passion, we will go onward to many wonderful years ahead with a great cup of coffee.
