“I am a visiting scholar at U Cincinnati working in Classics and co-teaching a graduate seminar on the Greek Bronze Age where the greatest Aegean prehistory program in the world is located: the Blegen library. Rohs is an ideal location for an out-of-towner to feel at home, meet with fellow researchers, and drink fine coffee and sample fine pastries. I think I have been there now at least a dozen times. Whether talking with a brilliant humanist archaeology professor like Eleni H. who is an expert, inter alia, on the great Palace of Minos; or Ruth P. from Ohio University, who knows lots about wine, grain, farm and herd and wild animals in the Aegean Bronze Age and beyond; or a bright young graduate student philologist Cason W., who knows Homer well in the original Greek and even writes his own poems in. Greek, or a visiting Ph.D. who studies and applies information theory to Bronze Age texts Miriam M., the atmosphere is pleasant, inviting, respectful, and very very welcoming. All persons who have taken and filled my orders have been kind, personable, humanly curious, intelligent and respectful. And this is not a mass-distribution chain store. Sitting outside or inside or taking out, Rohs Street Cafe is one of the best cafes I have been in since I first sipped coffee from my grandpa’s spoon as a three-year-old in 1954. Rohs is the Cincinnati version of the best university coffee shops in the world. As Bob Dylan sings I have been all around the world, boys and I’m tryin’ t’ get to heaven before they close the door! Well get to Rohs after they open and before they close their door. You won’t regret it or forget it. Dig their coffee, man! TGP”
