Fort Thomas Coffee | Citadel | Connect

overall it was pretty yummy but i was disappointed with my slice of quiche…. i had to change the flavor of quiche after sitting down because they had just run out of ham & swiss, which is totally reasonable, but i walked past a generous and beautiful slice on top of the pastry case for someone else and then received a really tiny piece myself that was mostly pastry, with the bulk of quiche fallen out and disappeared somewhere else. our lattes also could have been a touch hotter, but were ultimately tasty. i didn’t really get to savor my breakfast because my quiche was tiny and my latte lukewarm. staff was very friendly and the atmosphere is a little loud but that’s just because some kids were having lots of fun in the playroom, which i can’t fault them for

Fantastic first visit to Ft Thomas Coffee!

I ordered a cold brew with pistachio and it was excellent — robust but smooth, just the right caffeine kick, and the pistachio added subtle flavor without overpowering the coffee. Easily one of the best cold brews I’ve had.

The service was stellar. Casey was friendly, patient, and helpful while I made my choice, even though the shop was busy (yes, she’s my cousin — but I’m being objective and I'd say this either way!). Jonah, who prepared my drink was very polite, efficient, and clearly took pride and care in making it A+. If I had a coffee shop, I'd be glad to have such good ambassadors representing my brand.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with plenty of clean indoor and outdoor seating. It’s the kind of spot that works equally well for catching up with friends, studying, or remote work. The location at Highland & Ft Thomas Ave is convenient with ample nearby parking, and sitting outside (covered or sunny seats) makes for a fun experience. I found very close street parking during the after-school rush.

Overall, a great first impression! Excellent coffee, friendly staff, and a comfortable vibe. Definitely will be back and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality local coffee shop in Ft Thomas.

I got a smoothie and it was straight up mango sugar. It was pretty undrinkable.

Visiting family in the area and stopped in here by myself for breakfast. This is the neighborhood hotspot, and for good reason. It's spacious, lots of seating options inside and outside. The service was good. And the iced vanilla latte and spinach artichoke egg bites were delicious. They were sort of like souffle because they were so light and fluffy. Love that they had several GF options. Definitely a spot I'd go back to when visiting this cute town.

Always a very pleasant experience here. The food and coffee are great. It’s a great place to work/sit and chat if you can catch a spot but sometimes that is hard to do. The area it is in is such a great place to take a walk around.
