Located in the center of downtown Fairborn at 2 West Main Street, Lefty’s Eats & Espresso opened their doors late last week. Offering coffee, latte, cappuccino and espresso, they are more than just a coffee shop.
Owner Lawren Williams, who ran Williams Eatery in Yellow Spring for 10 years before shutting it down, shared his vision with us for a locally owned eatery that offers clean eating, from locally sourced vendors. His place will offer fresh soups and unique flavors on the menu. You won’t find a deep fryer in his 25 seat restaurant, but his salad and sandwich menu will give you lots of options. He shared that since opening last Thursday, “I am overwhelmed by the support and positive response that we have received so far.”
Here’s just a sampling of his menu:
