Adorable place. Super friendly servers. Cinnamon roll was to die for and the orange blossom latte was *chefs kiss*.

The pastries were excellent!! They clearly sell out fast - we visited twice and the first day we showed up an hour after opening to a very limited remaining selection. The croissants had excellent flavor and a really nice textural contrast between the exterior and interior. I tried a number of pastries and think a must-try is the artichoke croissant. If I were local I’d be here all the time!

The iced orange blossom latte was out of this world! 😍 One of the most unique and delicious drinks I’ve ever had! I got here around 2pm and unfortunately they were sold out of pastries so I’ll have to come earlier another time.

Unreal pastries. Unique but absolutely some of the best. The plain croissant was one of the best I’ve ever had easily.

Charming bakery with specialty baked goods. The famous cinnamon roll was underwhelming. The plain croissant was excellent. It's clear that the bakery uses top quality ingredients and pays a lot of attention to detail.

Tried this place because of all of the recommendations about cinnamon rolls. They were ok but certainly not worth seeking out. Our favorite was the chocolate croissant. The everything croissant was a nice surprise. The other items included a mix of traditional and non traditional flavors which did hit for our group. Coffee was solid and the team was great!

Maybe the best croissants in the city

Best bagel ever

Very cute, delightful bakery with amazing treats and coffee. Tried the Cinnamon roll, tahini chocolate chunk cookie, buttermilk raspberry crossiant. All very good! And brown butter latte. Also delish. Definitely going back again

I can’t say enough good things about Chaske and the whole Brown Bear team. Their cinnamon rolls are the best on the planet, and therefore are mine and my (now) husband’s favorite dessert. So when we got engaged and started planning our wedding, we were both crossing our fingers to be able to have Brown Bear cinnamon rolls for our guests — and Chaske made our dreams come true!! The cinnamon rolls were such a hit, and we were delighted to have our favorite dessert for our special day. I can’t thank this team enough for making the magic happen. Thank you Chaske and all of team Brown Bear!! ❤️
Possibly the best Bakery on planet earth. Everything they make is delicious. Brown Bear is an absolute must stop anytime we are in Cincinnati, usually twice.
The savory croissants are just on another level, not only are they the best croissants I’ve ever had, they are up there for the best food I’ve ever had. We had their Feta and Fig croissant a few weeks ago and it was just delightful.
If anyone I talk to even mentions driving through Cincinnati, I tel them they have to stop. Never disappointed.
The people who work inside are great too, always friendly.
I work down the street & I love brown bear! I go there just about every day .Great great atmosphere and the people that work there are awesome with customers and making sure they are treated well. Haven’t had one bad pastry here!! All so good! 10/10 great place to be

Cute little bake shop with some of the most delicious treats (both sweet and savory) that I've tasted in some time. Will definitely stop here again next time I'm in Cincy!
