Culp’s Café pays homage to Culp’s Cafeteria—a renowned Dayton lunchroom that specialized in home-cooked food. Housed in the legendary downtown Arcade, Culp’s was Dayton’s first restaurant to offer air conditioning, and it featured the first electric Hammond organ in the area. Open Tuesday through Saturday, Culp’s Café at Carillon Historical Park offers delicious sandwiches, soups, salads, and classic soda fountain favorites
