“I love everything about Una Taza! The ambience is cozy and welcoming, the coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had, and there are so many delicious vegetarian options. If you haven’t visited yet- add it to your list! 💛“

“The drinks are expertly made and the place is immaculate! Shout out to Jack!“

“Great coffee . Pretty busy but love the Milky Way iced coffee“

“Y’all, Francesca is the best. These are the best croissants I have had in Cincy, and some of the best coffee. I came in to pick up a birthday cake and Francesca spoke with me in Italian and was so, so kind and generous. Definitely go see this place.“

“Benson Paige is a pup who has lived in a shelter for a whole year. Today is his last day on earth since he is being humanely euthanized tomorrow. A foster took him out and spent some time at Bloc, so benson got to finally cuddle up on a couch. He finally got to eat a whole plate of eggs, a plate of bacon and experience the good life- something he never got to experience before. Stevie the lead barista was incredibly kind and compassionate over the phone with me while I tried to coordinate getting benson a special treat and helped me make sure the foster & benson were taken care of and that he got to experience love. There are no words to describe my gratitude to them and thank them for providing a place for benson to be safe and loved. ❤️❤️❤️ can not recommend them enough for their customer service“

“SUCH a cute gem in madisonville! Great coffee and bakery. They have an outdoor courtyard and patio, and they allow pets! I’ve brought my cat on a harness and leash multiple times and they are so welcoming.“

“I visited Kings Arms Coffee today for the first time, I was impressed! The coffee was silky smooth, I would recommend it.“

“Place has a really comfy atmosphere and nice decor.

Got tomato soup and ginger molasses cake. Tomato soup was very sour and honestly barely tasted like tomatoes but the ginger molasses cake was so good and I'd probably go back just for it.

Service was also very nice. Would recommend!“

“Update 6/19/25:
Love this place. I wish the credit card surcharge fee is included in the menu prices - or make the font bigger in the machine - or a paper sign notifying customers about the fees.

Original:
Great place to get breakfast and coffee (of course).“

“First time here. Wonderful coffee and most delicious maple peanut butter and banana toast. Wonderful staff will make this go to every time I'm in Cincinnati.“

“Delicious new coffee spot! So cute on the inside. Everything I’ve had so far has been wonderful.“

“It tastes great. It's my first time.“

“I come around here often, since ive moved here, and i gotta say: this latest visit today was the BEST EXPERIENCE IVE HAD HERE!!! LISTEN, okay i love the vibes, i love the drinks especially the monthly ones, i love the baked goods, and i love the little nook-esque seating way in the back. im an introverted person, and i appreciate being able to be walled in comfy seating and outlet access to myself so i can draw in peace in between my little walking/shopping journeys. HOWEVER, the two gentlemen working today were probably some of my favorite baristas ive ever had the pleasure of interacting with, because 1) they were chill. 2) they played some absolute classic jams on the speakers today, and 3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY LEFT ME ALONE THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS SITTING DOWN!!! Almost *every* previous time ive come down here to relax and take a load off while im working on art, all of the other baristas would literally, without fail, check on me every 5-10 minutes. Moreso than any of the other customers, to the point where i would get extremely uncomfortable and leave earlier than i wanted to. But today? I was anticipating the inevitable eyes boring into the back of my skull reflecting on the window glass after the first 15 minutes, and yet, there was nothing. i was RELIEVED!!!! the dudes working today, im so happy thats who was clocked in, I haven't had a peaceful coffee shop hangout in a hot minute! Would recommend anyone to come in, their drinks are very strong and delicious 😋“

“Thank you Fable for not only DELICIOUS coffee, but a cozy shop to stop in. Your Valentines Day Strawberry Mocha just made my day!“

“We love getting coffee and a bite to eat when in Fort Thomas. Their drinks are amazing, we love working from there, and their staff is so friendly. Highly recommend!“

“love❤ Mrs. Carol and family they always make you feel like you come to visit there home they serve you with so much care my children and grandchildren loves her as well .I always look forward to going and being there when I can a beautiful place to relax or unwind love you all💜💖“

“I grew up on Long Island NY and now reside in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of East TN with my gf, so we know good coffee spots! This charming little place just so happened to be across the street! It was our check out day after I sang the National Anthem the night before for the Florence Y'all's. I had a capuchino, my gf had a latte. Both were very good! It is my understanding the owners are Taiwanese. Historic building with tons of board games and an upper level where you can sit on the floor traditionally like their Culture. Definitely make a point to stop here on your way to Covington KY or just passing through! -dmc-“

“I got a decaf stroopwaffle latte (it might be seasonal) and it was so so tasty and just so aesthetically pleasing, and in general it just lifted my mood to be there. People are studying, quietly talking with friends, or reading. All the workers were nice and happy to give recommendations- and its a big mug you get, filled to the rim, for in my opinion, a very reasonable price. Mine was $5“

“Great little coffee shop.“

“Such a gem. Stopped while in town for the weekend and will be back. Staff are friendly and kind. Atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect place to chill, work or read. Good seating options and love all the windows. I got their seasonal drink — peppermint mocha? Iced, and I’m glad I did. So sweet and good, but not over the top.“

“Great little coffee shop.“

“This is the best one. I miss the coffee.“

“This place is just a couple blocks away from the downtown Starbucks and the coffee is heaps better. They freshly grind and press each espresso shot and their coffee comes from local roasters. The space is small but they make the most of it in terms of seating. When the weather is nice there is a nice outdoor area as well.

They sometimes have a selection of pastries, but they are limited so I don't count on the food here. If you're looking for a good cup of coffee or tea, though, this is the perfect spot.“

“We loved it! Teas were good & the protein bites were SO good!!!!“

“Great coffee . Pretty busy but love the Milky Way iced coffee“

“Delicious you won't be disappointed.“

“Great little jazz Cafe!! The music is phenomenal. The drink selection superb. However, the food selection needs an overhaul. While eclectic in nature, it's only reheated pre-packaged food. We were quite disappointed when our waitress Clementine told us that, and alterations or substitutions could not be offered. However, with incredible music, we still highly recommend not missing out on this superb little venue.“

“Great espresso, coffee, and other beverages. Always happy to support local.“

“My older son and I stopped to use a BOGO offer before it expired. This was my first time at the Redbank location and it was nice inside. The staff were friendly and did a good job making our coffee. The drinks were wonderful and hit the spot. I recommend this location!“

“This is the best one. I miss the coffee.“

“I am not a coffee drinker, so I was happy to see they have good loose-leaf tea (Rishi) as an option. The barista was very friendly and knew a lot of visitors by name. The blueberry scone was delicious! I’ll definitely stop again when in the area!“

“Such a cozy place. I had a hot black tea with a blueberry scone. There is a gift shop with lots of choices for gifts for a friend. The seating is all outside. The front outside area of the shop has lots of mosaics, as the owner was an instructor in mosaics at Baker Hunt which is across the street Around the right side of the building is another area to sit outside an enjoy your drink.“

“We recently ordered from The Park Pour for our holiday staff party. The food was wonderful, as always. Beautiful salads, deviled eggs & more. Ordering was easy & their team is always helpful. One of my very favorite restaurants- highly recommend!“

“The location is very convenient for working remotely, meeting clients, or grabbing a morning or afternoon coffee. I love the overall energy and vibe and meet new people as well as see old friends every time I go.“

“What a delightful coffee shop! Lots of delicious options. I had the Cinnamon Chip Muffin, Hazelnut coffee and took home an Almond croissant. They have sugar free and gluten free options, too! Scrumptious. Chill and friendly atmosphere with good service. Local art on display and community feel. Easy parking. I highly recommend.“

“Loved my experiences here so far. Friendly employees, great coffee and the best chocolate croissant I’ve ever had in the United States. You can tell that their croissants are freshly made once you buy into them. They have great coffee choices that they change up each day. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“It tastes great. It's my first time.“

“My friend and I happened upon this gem while on a girls day in Latonia. From the minute we walked in, we were welcomed with open arms. The baristas answered our questions and whipped up the most delicious drinks. The owner introduced herself and showed us around, quickly becoming a friend. We sat for a while on the amazing pink velvet couch and fell in love with this quaint little shop. Before we left, the owner offered to loan out her personal shopping cart (which she decorated for us). It was a memorable day and we will definitely be back!“

“I was passing through town and decided to stop at Villa Mocha — and I’m so glad I did! It’s a quaint little shop with absolutely delicious coffee. I ordered the apple blueberry pie and my husband got the apple doughnut… omg, both were incredible. I wish this place was local to us in Nashville because I’d be here all the time. I also had the pleasure of meeting Lydia and Hunter, who were so kind and welcoming. If we pass through again, I’ll definitely be back. Villa Mocha is a true gem — delicious treats and a warm, inviting atmosphere.“

“Biggby on Monmouth is hands down the best coffee spot around. The drinks are magical, the staff is friendlier than a Southern Grandma handing out cookies, and the vibes are immaculate. One sip and you’ll forget all your life problems…at least until the caffeine wears off. 10/10 would abandon all other coffee shops again.“

“So this is my second time here obviously the first time was amazing for me to come back, however, learning that everything is basically made homemade in the store from the fresh coffee beans to the freshly made Housemade bagels, the roasted res pepper cream cheese, plus the vibrant people serving you who are kind and courteous That’s why I give it five stars. I highly recommend it the best bagel I’ve had in a very long time. Not expensive, very budget, wallet, friendly, and great quality ingredients try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed“

“I enjoyed my recent trip there, was a liytle confused walking in trying to understand ( how it works) but i was quickly helped by someone.

The food was very good (first time having goetta but they made a lover out of me) i will be returning the next time i am assigned guard duties at the textile apartments“

“We were visiting from Buffalo and my wife had read about the distillery in whiskey advocate so we wanted to take a tour . We really really enjoyed it . Carus - I hope I spelled his name correctly gave us the tour and it was very informative and fun getting the chance to talk to him and ask as many questions as we wanted. It’s a neat little distillery with excellent products , a cool backstory and a nice bar area for excellent cocktails . Definitely worth stopping in to support them - your new friends and fans from the Buffalo area- rob, sue and Tim 😊“

“I visited this place while on vacation. They have excellent coffee drinks! The staff are friendly, the establishment is clean and inviting with a fun vibe! They offer non-coffee drinks too (but why would you when the coffee is top knotch! 😉). 10/10 would recommend!“
