Their inviting, minimalist space in Toledo is the perfect place to grab a coffee ☕ and a pastry 🥐 while working, meeting up with friends or relaxing.

👉 PRO TIP: go to Maddie & Bella Coffee Roasters in the morning between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. The sun shines perfectly through the large windows during these times, warming the café and starting your morning off to a bright start! ☀️

Get your morning coffee at Maddie & Bella in the next couple of weeks and cross it off of your @coffeequest419 list! Or you can stop by on 419 Day with your Best Bites Downtown Toledo ticket 🎫
