Another locally owned coffee shop shuts down at the Dayton Mall

Mall’s general manager says several prospective tenants are looking at space vacated by locally owned shop

Tastefully Roasted has shut down its coffee shop inside the Dayton Mall, the retail center's second coffee-shop closing in the last six months.

The locally owned Tastefully Roasted’s remaining location in Oakwood is open and operating. Both locations operated as Saxby’s Coffee shops until transitioning to local ownership in June 2017.
