50 Best Coffee Shops near Fort Thomas

“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!“

“If a coffeehouse does not have at least one couch and a couple “comfy chairs” to enable one to chat with a friend—it needs to close down and get out of the business. This place has it all! This place is NOT overpriced, it satisfies not just with the coffees and drinks but also has unfussy, unhipster sandwiches, fast breakfasts without all the goofiness, stiffness and pretension of the modern “it” coffee shop. Spacious, sanitary, yet comfortable and with a smart investment in an outside patio too. They welcome locals who just want to watch an FC Cincy soccer game, have a cocktail, get “out of the house” but not feel like you are entering some enigmatic world of strange new vocabulary for coffee.“

“Best Coffee shop in Cincinnati hands down - Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast croissant was a 10/10

There were some coffee YouTubers in there and I heard the guy RAVING about the seasonal coffee beans that he purchased

Stashed away about 5 min from University of Cincinnati and downtown this is a must visit in town for any coffee connoisseur“

“Phenomenal would be an understatement to describe this establishment. 10 out of 5.“

“I am in the area often for work and have even delivered here. But I finally got to try it today! This iced mocha is divine. I WILL be back. It’s so cozy inside and the staff was very nice.“

“Fantastic tasting coffee, cute atmosphere and friendly team members.“

“The best brew around! Stop in and see for yourself!“

“Tried Coffia this morning and got their hot vanilla latte. Hands down the best latte I’ve ever had. Shop was gorgeous inside as well! Friendly staff. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

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

“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!“

“A delightful coffee shop! Friendly staff, delicious toasts, great coffee. The Snickerdoodle latte that I had today, served on ice, was just sweet enough.“

“I really appreciate the message BLOC stands for and the positive impact they have on Price Hill. However, my main issue is the slow service. It often takes far too long to get a simple (and pricey) cold brew coffee. If you're looking for a quick stop for a $6 coffee, this isn't the place.

This business could really benefit from offering carryout or call-ahead options. I often find myself driving past BLOC and grabbing carryout from Starbucks instead, just because I know I can get in and out quickly. While high volume may not be the goal for this business, I would love to support them more—if only the speed of service were faster.“

“Fantastic tasting coffee, cute atmosphere and friendly team members.“

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

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

“Had the most unusual flavor combination today. Sugar free blackberry syrup in my decaf latte. I’m hooked. This place wasn’t easy to find but glad that we stopped in. Very welcoming atmosphere for 2 friends to sit and chat for hours. ☕️“

“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.“

“This charming coffee shop offers a delightful experience.
Their coffee is expertly crafted and delivers an exceptional taste.
It is an ideal location to indulge in their delectable chocolate croissants and other freshly baked goods from their in-house bakery.“

“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-“

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

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

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

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

“We stopped in here for breakfast during our hotel stay. Staff was prompt and polite but admittedly was not very outgoing. The coffee is highly recommended. Breakfast sandwiches were freshly prepared and were better than expected. The space is functional and comfortable but seemed a bit too spartan. A few more touches of color or some additional decorations would warm it up.

Food and beverages that are purchased from here are part of the Hilton Honors My Way hotel benefits, as long as you charge the food/drink to your room. Just make sure you review your final hotel bill, as the hotel didn't give us the credits. We had to call back to get those charges removed.“

“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“

“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! 💛“

“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!“

“They're so quick and kind. I found this place recently on my way to work and now I stop in as often as I can. this honeysuckle latte is so good, and there's never a bitter aftertaste. you have to try it here

Parking: its right to the right of the store, nice free st Bernard lot. I've never had an issue getting a spot before.“

“Great little coffee shop.“

“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!“

“My new go-to coffee shop! It's a little out of my way but it's always worth it. I always see the same employees and they're always so kind! All the baked goods are fresh and delicious and the coffee is always hot! Super responsible prices for the quantity and quality. And the best part- it's CLEAN!!! I even see employees sweeping and wiping down tables which is definitely appreciated since the last place I went to pretty musty... 10/10 amazing little spot“

“WE HAD OUR FORTY YEAR CLASS REUNION THERE .GREG DOOR WAS A CLASSMATE OF MINE.THE WAY WE WERE TREATED BY HIS STAFF WAS JUST AWESOME.

TO THE STAFF AND GREG AND HIS WIFE THANK U SOMUCH.P.S IAM HANDICAP AND THAT IS NO PROBLEM GETTING IN.“

“The Protein Life in Cold Spring, KY: A Must-Visit! I've been consistently impressed with The Protein Life. Their offerings, including protein shakes, energy teas, and coffee, have never disappointed me. My husband and I both love the drinks, the welcoming atmosphere, and the friendly owners and employees. If you're looking for a great spot to enjoy healthy beverages, I highly recommend giving them a try. You won't regret it! Rating: 5/5 stars“

“Great little coffee shop.“

“Recommended visiting when there isn’t a bengals game going on. Cute seasonal menus for their coffees and drinks. Very simple and small but with a lot character. I think this should be a regular spot for anyone who enjoys a nice tucked away spot to sit and sip.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and wonderful Deeper Roots coffee!“

“One of my favorite coffee shops around the UC area! It’s walkable from the UC medical campus and main campus. Plenty of spaces to study/work/chill. The staff is always friendly and helpful! Plus, free WiFi! Perfect for a study place!

Dietary restrictions: I get non-dairy options due to milk allergy, but my friends love everything we have gotten from here!“

“I love Left Bank! It's one of the first places my husband and I used to go when we first started dating, so lots of sweet coffee date memories! The family that owns and operates Left Bank is so kind and it has been a joy to see their business grow and evolve over the years.

I do miss the indoor dining, but luckily it was replaced with the cutest little gift shop ever—Maison! I have bought so many gifts and cards there. If you're ever in Covington, this place is a community treasure. They are located in the perfect little neighborhood so grab yourself a barber's brew and take a stroll through the historic riverside district.“

“Inviting atmosphere with great coffee and even better service.

I Stumbled upon this cafe on google and learned that it is one of the few coffee shops that are open late into the evening. As soon as i walked in, i noticed that the pillows in top of the seating rows and the great cozy atmosphere that allows people to work while minding their business which is the perfect mix for a coffee spot!

They have a downstairs too and both floors have a patio area which I will try once the weather gets warmer. The downstairs is a more quiet environment but the main floor is filled with vibes and background conversations so it offers both ambiances that a cafe often calls for.

The selection of wine has depth which makes it a good spot to hangout even after the coffee hours are gone.

As a latino, i loved seeing the empanadas on their menu which is a great snack or meal and goes well with coffee.

I ordered the usual, dark toast drip coffee, yet again and the flavor was a bit on the robust side with a hint of bitterness but delicious nonetheless. I had more than three refills of it and was more awake than a meth head at 3 pm in the afternoon!

The barista was so sweet and was more than happy to take care of my refills every time i stepped up to the bar!

Will come back to try their empanadas.“

“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.“

“This is a fantastic small coffee shop for the Anderson area! The baristas are always SO kind and friendly, and their coffee is delicious (I highly recommend a latte with one of their seasonal flavors). Thank you Luckman for the amazing service as always (you made my day!) and delicious coffee (today I got the gingerbread latte; it’s wonderful)! :)“

“Absolutely amazing and delicious pastries! My first time there and I bought 2 of several pastries for my husband and I and we absolutely loved them! Will definitely be a regular customer.“

“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“

“Coffee and raspberry tart were delicious“

“We love this cafe. Coffee is amazing. Recommend the egg sandwiches, scones and heavenly croissants. You will not be disappointed ❤️“

“2 years ago I found this place , I had a nice cup of coffee and bought some packaged coffees . How quickly time passed years after I stopped again , the employees are very kind as usually and everything is affordable and delicious. Hope to come again for music ? Thank you“

“I can’t believe I’ve been going here for over a year and never left a review! Everyone there is incredibly nice. The manager, I’ve heard him interview a couple people, He seems amazing and like he really cares about his people and the working environment. Everyone that I’ve ever met at the register, while maybe a little overwhelmed because of the morning rush, I’ve never had a bad experience with them. It’s mine and my fiancé’s favorite place to hang out and play Uno. We definitely buy way too many snacks while there.“

“Pumpkin bread: Delicious
The Iced Vanilla Honey Recommendation: Also Delicious

I’ve been meaning to come here for a while. The barista was super friendly, had insight on the businesses down the street as well as what I should get. Definitely excited to come here again!“
