Love the natural light, cinnamon roll was great 🤎 aux was going crazy 💫🫡
The staff was friendly, the pastries delicious, everything including the coffee was quick. Try the seasonal drinks!
Brown Bear Bakery is such a treat to start the day off with.
We went on a Tuesday right at opening and were able to get a table inside. Coffee is good and sourced from a local coffee shop.
There were so many delicious options to choose from. I opted for the apple hand pie, seasonal savory croissant and the signature cinnamon roll. All were delicious and the cinnamon roll was exceptionally good. The cream cheese icing is perfect, the dough light and fluffy and that...read full review

Brown Bear Bakery in Cincinnati, OH, is a beloved local spot that has earned a loyal following, especially from one Cincy native who raves about it to all his out-of-town friends. Visitors are greeted by a friendly, welcoming staff who are also self-proclaimed "crazy foodies," eager to share their recommendations on seasonal specialties and perennial favorites like the chocolate chip cookies.
The cozy, small-ish shop offers a delightful array of outlandishly good pastries, from flaky croissants and decadent cinnamon rolls to artichoke croissants and mint matcha cookies. While some found the famous cinnamon roll underwhelming, most agreed that the unique recipes and high-quality ingredients make for an exceptional experience. The warm, inviting atmosphere, complete with potted plants and barstool seating, adds to the charm and draws customers in, with one reviewer describing it as a "giant hug."
Whether stopping in for a quick iced orange blossom latte and pastry or settling in to savor multiple courses, Brown Bear Bakery is a must-visit for locals and out-of-towners alike, offering a truly memorable and delicious experience. The pastries sell out fast, so getting there early is recommended to enjoy the full selection.
