Coffee Shops near Fort Wright

“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.“

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

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“Velocity’s iced lattes are a must-try! Each month they switch up the menu, offering several different flavors of house-made syrups. They clearly label vegan options & offer oat milk for drinks. They artfully take photos of each drink and post them on their Instagram page. The photos look like something out of a foodie blog or magazine. A few of my favorite specials have been the chocolate covered potato chip iced latte & the cherry cordial iced latte.“

“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.“

“Where do I even begin? Best coffee, best beverages in general! James is so friendly and welcoming even when INCREDIBLY busy. I literally walk to Ludlow Coffee every single morning. I notice a huge difference in my day if I miss it. If you've not been here yet, ya better go soon! This coffee shop is one of a kind to say the absolute LEAST. ❤️ ☕️“

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

“Visiting from out of town and my friend brought me because she loves it. Gotta say, I do too. Their mission to invest in the community is a great draw but also the food and coffee were great! Got the stuffed French Toast and the Price Hill breakfast with goetta. Absolutely delicious! And my friend tried a special coffee but it was too sweet for her (she doesn’t have a very sweet tooth) and they remade it for her half as sweet easy peasy. Good business! Oh and cool art! Don’t love the faces upstairs though haha“

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

“Had breakfast at Brass Key Coffee Shop for the first time today. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The sausage breakfast casserole and vanilla cappuccino were delicious !! Very relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be back !!“

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

“A warm and welcoming place to enjoy a fabulous cafe beverage. Such a little hidden gem in the heart of Westwood. !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“First off, the staff here is AMAZING, they are very attentive and extremely friendly. Andy took care of us at the bar and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! The fried pickles were one of the best we’ve ever had and the drinks were great as well. We will definitely be back.“

“Family and I from Iowa recently visited Covington area and we stopped there 2 different days, I was amazed by the atmosphere and overall selection of teas and coffee and excellent service, Very nice place, Highly recommend“

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

“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!“

“Really great coffee served here and the best staff.“

“I just found this place it's hard to see just walking by. It's almost right at the corner of Vine Street and 6th Street in downtown. What I mean by almost is it's a couple doors down and it shares an entrance with the location at the corner. As soon as you walk in it's on the right. They have a cooler with waters n little snacks and a spot for muffins n whatnot. They do all the fancy coffees and they have an the counter 4 coffee containers. They had grogg and banana nut coffee it amazing. You should try“

“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“

“If you haven’t taken the time to go to Enlightenment and see Mary, do yourself a favor and try their coffee and breakfast pastries or sandwiches, you will not be disappointed!“

“I really enjoy supporting small local businesses like this place. Great, friendly staff! Love this place!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I absolutely LOVE theproteinlife.ky! I had bariatric surgery several years ago and have to work really hard to make sure I get my daily protein in. This shop has saved me! I am working my way through all their flavors. It’s a dessert I don’t have to feel a bit guilty about. I also love their teas and I am not a tea drinker. I usually get these for a pick me up in the afternoon. The bonus to stopping in is that the owner, Archi, always makes my day brighter! She is a wonderful person. Stop in and see her and grab a shake or tea.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ever since I moved I have been on the hunt for a good little coffee spot. As the big chains aren't doing it for me anymore. This was a wonderful find ! Not only is the staff ALWAYS nice and friendly when you go in, but they are always so helpful in giving wonderful and delicious recommendations that never fail to please !! Not only is there coffee delicious and have dairy friendly options but they also have delicious little pastry's! I would give this place 1000000/5 Stars if I could.“

“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've only been here once, so far. It's a decent-sized space inside, with lots of outlets, WiFi, and chairs with backs and cushions. There's also plenty of patio seating for a nicer day. Drink-wise, the plain latte I had was 10/10. The espresso/barista quality speak for themselves, and it speaks volumes if I can enjoy a drink that much without trying a more interesting/seasonal drink. They also have pastries/breakfast items. The mini quiche was phenomenal -- herby, rich, a tad bit of spice.. I'd eat it any day. My hard-to-please lady said the coffee cake was just decent and the caramel vanilla capp was 8/10 (excellent by her standards). This place is open late and serves wine/beer/cocktails, too.. what that really means is this is a rare place where you can get a coffee late in the evening! I have no doubt they'll be seeing my face more in the future; it's a top-notch coffee shop that I can't wait to explore more of!

Parking: 2 hour limit on the meters, but you can move a couple spaces over and be in a different zone“

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

“Pulled in here for coffee after dropping my son off at school. The coffee was great and the lady at the window was very friendly and polite. Service was quick. There was only one car ahead of me in line when I got there and they were gone quickly. Hardly any wait at all.“

“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“

“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!“
