“Cincinnati hit the jackpot with Boosalis Baking! I used to jet off to Paris for work, trying every croissant spot there, thinking nothing could match up back home. But Boosalis proved me wrong in the best way!Their chocolate croissant (pain au chocolat) is the real deal. Seriously, it gives the famous spots in Paris a run for their money. And don't even get me started on their plain croissant—it's a close second to my favorite in Paris, Ble Sucre.Now, I can get my croissant fix without the long flight. Big thanks to the Boosalis team for bringing a slice of Paris to Cincinnati!“
“I love everything about VV. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The espresso macchiato is perfection in a beautiful teal blue cup. I love to enjoy one in the front window and watch the happenings of Mt. Lookout square. VV is not just a coffee shop though, they also have delicious pastries, sandwiches, meals, and drinks.“
“I was recommended to check out Cream + Sugar Coffeehouse and I'm glad I went. I ordered the Lavender tea and it was incredible! Highly recommended that option. They also have various other drinks on their menu as well as food. Plenty of space inside to work, study, or have a chat with friends. Service was quick.“
“We came here on a Saturday at 11:30 AM. The food, service and ambiance were top notch. We ordered the Shakshuka, Omelette and 2 Israeli sandwiches to eat. To drink, we got the the carrot and orange juices. Both delicious and freshly squeezed/pressed. The star of the show is the challah bread. Cheers !“
“A big group of us stopped by after dinner for a treat. 2 of us got churros, 1 of us got a brownie, and 2 of us got cobbler. We shocked by how delicious and affordable everything was. WAY better than Crumbl. 12/10. Also, Colton made sure we got our food and was super kind to us throughout our experience. We will be back for the food and to see Colton :)“
“Popped in before dinner for drinks on Friday night. Parked right out front of the spot and breezed in. After being warmly greeted by the host, we parked at the bar. The place is beautiful. Love the design choices and the blue notes. A big table carved into the back wall looks great for a group. The drinks take awhile for the staff to make, so prepare yourself. However the wait is definitely worth it. Loved every drink we had. The French 75 was light and crisp. The Peardon my French was tasty and not overly sweet. I'm not a huge rum person but would highly recommend the hibernation sour. The bit of salt and spice was fantastic. Can't wait to come back. I want to try their daytime coffee and food menu.“
“Out of all of the coffee houses I have visited in Cincinnati, this place is by far my favorite. The employees here are extremely inviting, introducing themselves only after my second time there. As for the food, their breakfast burrito is out of this world (I lowkey dream about it…), and my favorite drink so far is their cookie spice latte (good both iced and hot). Definitely would suggest checking it out!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp on the front side of the store!“
“Love this place, great local business. Great coffee, love the egg sandwich, pasties and the cinnamon sugar toasties. The place is very Cozi, this is a Sunday morning tradition for our family.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor space in the warm months is great for kids. There is also a good amount of room inside for kids“
“I have visited nearly every coffee shop in NKY, there are few that I literally think about weekly wishing I lived closer to visit more often. Unataza is top of that list. Their atmosphere is warm and inviting from the decor to the employees there was never a moment I didn't feel welcome. They serve Honduran coffee that is rich and blends beautifully with their homemade syrups and flavors. They rotate flavors with the season but majority are house made and festive. Their espresso drinks I could order by the dozen and I'd still want more, they're that good. They also serve authentic Honduran food from breakfast to lunch, they're a great compliment to a sweet drink. I adore this place and wish I lived closer to visit more but each visit here is such a treat.“
“We got the orange creamsicle latte and a pour over, both were very good, but the pastries were our favorite. We shared a cheddar chives quiche, a lemon lavender scone and the blueberry danish, all of them were 10/10.The space is very clean and has a modern vibe to it.The servers are very nice and our order was ready fast.We explore coffee shops around Cincinnati every Saturday morning, and we always look for local gems. We recommend this one and we’d definitely go back!“
“Staff are great people that are always friendly & funny. Their drinks are delicious and I haven’t found one I don’t like. My favorite is the Cincinnati Mocha and the chai latte. I enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches and their panini blt is one of my personal favorites. They have a ramp into the store so it’s also wheelchair accessible which is wonderful. This place is all around the best local spot on the way to downtown. They survived Starbucks even moving into the same parking lot for several years which I think says a lot about their quality.Parking: You have a whole strip mall to park in.Kid-friendliness: They have toys available for play and plenty of different kinds of seating. Also a public restroom.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp available for accessing the front door and plenty of up front spots.“
“My new favorite coffee shop in Cincinnati! It’s so serene inside the store and LOTS of great books to read or purchase. Beautiful interior and artwork too. I tried ‘the hook’ toast which went well with their signature latte ‘newsprint’The place is in a beautiful neighborhood if you want to take a stroll with your coffee!“
“Bruh..had a chocolate dip, cake, doughnut with peanuts… may be the best doughnut I’ve ever had!Chicken strips, curl fries, very good! Very impressed with the food!The piece they need to keep improving is the speed of the operation. Seemed short staffed and/or just a bit slow. Several waiting around for their orders. It actually had me question (maybe I made a bad choice here!)But that Doughnut was special.“
“Really nice coffee shop with balanced lattes. I had the lavender latte w/ oat milk (in video) recently, and it was great. Plenty of seating so this would be a great place to work, but it does get busy! They also have some fun specials throughout the year. My friend recently loved their pot o' gold latte.“
“i never leave reviews on places, but i genuinely loved it so much that i had to. the environment was so calm and welcoming and very cozy. the employees were SO nice, and on top of that, i had easily the best matcha latte i’ve ever had. highly recommend this place for a chill hangout or to get some work done :)“
“My first visit lets me know it won't be my last. I really was not sure what to expect on house turned into coffee shop, but I was charmed! The beautiful tile floor, greenery ceiling, framed art, and tin kitchen ceiling create a warm, inviting atmosphere. I was pleased to see that food items such as salad or sandwich and ice cream are available in addition to coffee shop fare. Staff were industrious and speedy- making my in and out possible. Bar stools were available for waiting as a separate area from the patrons thick in study or conversation around tables. The london fog tea latte and blueberry scone were a delightful treat- especially the scone because of the glazed taste (like a doughnut)! Street and lot parking made the shop easily approachable. The outside space appears to have potential spring/summer outdoor seating!“
“When this first opened, I came here and the music was too loud and the women barristas weren't very friendly. But now I've started coming here as often as possible! I really like Katie, the barrista and the fact that it is not crowded at all in the early afternoon so I can sit and work. Music is now great. And they just started carrying my favorite cheese, Kerry Gold. I wish there wasn't a fan intermittently blowing cold air down on me, but I can live with that. The coffee (Urbana) is great. This is just down the street from where I live. Win, win! (oh and the green St Pat cookies are way good.“
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mile 42 Coffee has truly outdone themselves with their Carmel Macchiato and Blueberry Muffin combo! The Carmel Macchiato was expertly crafted, boasting the perfect balance of rich espresso, velvety steamed milk, and a decadent swirl of caramel that danced on my taste buds with every sip. It was the ideal pick-me-up to start my day on a high note. Paired with their delectable blueberry muffin, it was a match made in heaven. The muffin was moist, bursting with plump blueberries, and had just the right amount of sweetness to complement the bold flavors of the coffee. The cozy ambiance of Mile 42 Coffee only enhanced my experience, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a delightful breakfast. If you're looking for a caffeine fix and a delicious treat to go along with it, look no further than Mile 42 Coffee – you won't be disappointed!?“

“Fort Thomas Coffee is a true gem in the heart of Fort Thomas! Incredible atmosphere, a great menu, and a fantastic business center. Don't think twice about where to hold your next business meeting – go to Fort Thomas Coffee and you're sure to be thrilled with the space and the amenities.“
“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!“
“This is a great place with excellent food, great presentation, and quality ingredients.I had their eggs Benedict and a side English muffin with strawberry preserves. As the same muffin is used for the eggs Benedict I will say it is a quality muffin that came out split warm and buttered inside with the strawberry preserves soft and delicious.The eggs Benedict was wonderful as it has cubed hashbrowns that are both dense and moist, but moist inside not greasy with a crisp outside reminiscent of a home fried potatoes exterior. DeliciousThen there is a mini fruit cupThe eggs Benedict themselves start with a base of that excellent muffin then a ham that is perfect for this application... then you have a nice hollandaise and attop it is a perfectly poached egg; that when split flows nicely over the entrée.I would recommend a side of their toast to sop in the egg as the tost is very nice and tasted excellent.The mushroom and Jack cheese Omelet is a beautiful example of an Omelet as the ingredients are not just in the Omelet but present In a way that they don't seem over cooked into the egg. It's almost like they were able to make sure they all stood out and you could taste them unlike other omelets where they can be bland ingredients. It shows they know when to add the ingredients to the egg properly so you can get the flavors that contrast in texture but compliments the others flavor... came with that wonderful toast and the hashbrown cubes; it also came with that mini fruit cup.This was a pleasurable brunch...Vegetarian options: Many of the dishes are easily vegetarian friendly or can be slightly modified to accommodate.Parking: Open free lotWheelchair accessibility: Has sidewalk ramp and tables that can accommodate.“
“Believe the hype! I worked in the smoothie space in college and this is by far the best juicery I have been to. Kudos to these two for bringing the inspiration of their lives out West back home. Got some apothecary product, food, and a smoothie. Loved it all. Will be visiting anytime I’m in town. It’s a lovely space in a great area. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!“
“I have been a long time coffee drinker & buyer of beans from Coffee Emporium, I’ve mainly hit the downtown location cause it’s always packed in Hyde Park. The draw to the Hyde Park location is the intimate cozy vibe, but also the sense of community for the longevity of it being established in that location.The location on this day, was the connection spot for me and my old 2 brothers for our standing coffee hookup, always greeted by a friendly face and pleasant voice “Good Morning”.If you are in Cincinnati, Oh and near Hyde Park slide in and have a cup of many of the multiple flavors and standard coffees.☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️Parking: The parking is in a residential area, I would say be respectful of the area, and all should be fine.Kid-friendliness: Good area to walk and put the baby to sleep, and tons of trees.“
“Just a sweet bunch of gals working here.... I would not say working, I would say living! They seem genuinely happy to be here and makes you feel as if the place is yours also. Check out my ? with sausage, real egg and real cheese ? priced way under 6 bucks! I come for the coffee and stay for the food/smiles!“
“If you’ve had coffee in cincinnati, there’s a good chance the beans are from deeper roots! Consistently so good!! I usually get an iced oat milk latte year round and this morning was no different Exocet I added a ham and cheese crosstant to my order! They even wanted it up for me?Wouldn’t have a cincy coffee scene without deeper roots! If you’re visiting and traveling through would highly recommend grabbing coffee from them or any coffee store that uses their beans ?Parking: There is a parking lot to the right of the store front that is free to use for any of the surprising business in the area off Madison road! There is also meter parking out front that uses the cincy ez parking app!“
“Excellent coffee shop right outside of the bridal district. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the coffee was fantastic. They have lots of seating options inside and out of the store which was great to see. They coffee cake was some of the best I have ever had. It is wrapped in plastic which was nice and sanitary, but it caused the frosting to stick to the plastic rather than the cake. Overall an excellent place to grab a coffee and get some work done.“
“Very adorably, sweet coffee shop. We had some smoothies to go along with some coffees. Seemed the owner was working and was very kind & welcoming. Would imagine if you are going mother-daughter dress shopping for a wedding, definitely the place to hit!We even had time to play a few games of connect four that was hanging out on the shelf!Kid-friendliness: Yes yes yes! Kids will love to look at all the colorful fish in the very well kept and clean fish tank!“
“Came here for some coffee and their latte was genuinely delicious. You know when your coffee tastes like how coffee smells. Highly highly recommend. The chai latte on the other hand was so heavy on ginger and nothing else... it just was not it. But I would come back for the coffee. Also, it would be great if they could get to know their products a bit. I ordered a cheesecake cake pop. 3 workers gathered to decided which one is the cheesecake one... and they got it wrong. Weird“
“Cool place, cordial staff, breakfast sandwiches and quiche were really spot on! Coffee good too, and I'm picky. Fast service. Over I liked the atmosphere - very cool but not snobby or pretentious...Only bad thing is the dining room floors were unreasonably dirty. I say unreasonably because they had salt residue all over (like when you salt due to snow or ice outside) but it had been like 5 days since we had any weather to speak of.Sweep and mop daily, and if the closers don't, ya have to do it in the morning!“
“Great coffee! They were already sold out of their quiches and sandwhiches when I strolled in around 11:15am:( but was able to snag a slice of banana bread. It was good, but nothing crazy! Ordered an iced oat milk latte and it did not disappoint! All together it was $9 for both items, not bad! Loved the glass that they served it in and with a compostable straw as well! Lots of tables but for someone who chronically forgets to charge her laptop, not enough plugs around the tables :/ there was a good chunk of people already here so I think those tables might have the plugs ? I couldn’t tell because I didn’t want to stare.If you need a stimulating place to work while getting computer work done, there are paintings and art work all around to enjoy and to even buy! As well as lots of locally made items that would be great to give as gifts!“
“Such a perfect little place, I wish it was closer to my home, but will make the trip back soon. Maybe to take advantage of the Wednesday or Thursday happy hour specials.The Brie baguette and croque monsieur sandwiches are perfect tasting experiences. I really appreciate their soups. The French onion and cabbage soups make you wonder why soups aren't more prominent everywhere, but most other places don't put the effort that Park Pour does.“
“This teeny-tiny and unassuming place has some fantastic coffee! Our first visit (of many to come) my wife got an espressoda and I grabbed an iced latte. Both drinks were great but the espressoda is worth going out of your way for. The staff is great and the service was really quick despite how busy they were. The only drawback is how small the seating area is.“
“Some of the smoothest hookahs I’ve ever smoked. Always amazing service and I never have to wait on coals. The staff are attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend to those looking for a chill spot to study or vibe with friends. The mint tea is delicious and you can’t beat the prices. Definitely my regular hookah spot hands down.“

“I’m not one to just write a review but this place is amazing we stopped in to just get coffee but as a larger man I’m always hungry? .food was absolutely delicious and this place is spotless clean kind and made our day. If your in the area give this place a try ❤️“
“One of my favorite coffee shops in Cincy. I used to live right by it so I'd go just about every day. I've gotten to know the staff quite well over the years and they are all super nice and excellent baristas. Highly recommend buying their coffee beans in bulk if you like to make coffee at home too.“
“I'm a HUGE fan of this tea shop. Everything I get is always amazing!On Saturday I came in to get my favorite (you have to try African Sunrise) and a decaf Irish breakfast for my husband. Anyway, they ladies that were there that day were delightful and friendly. Lauryn helped me with my order and made some beautiful recommendations. It got to the point I had to show restraint, lol. The teas she suggested didn't let me down and I'm so grateful for those suggestions. Although I didn't interact with Cara much she was always smiling and all 3 of us had a great conversation. Thank you so much!!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“We went Sunday, early afternoon. I had an affogato and my wife had the edible cookie dough. The affogato is two shots of espresso over soft serve ice-cream. It was amazing! If you like coffee ice-cream, this is the best version you can have! The chocolate notes of the espresso really stand out with the coffee. I could have one daily to start my day! The cookie dough was sweet and the texture was great. It wasn't gritty like other edible cookie doughs she has had before. There was enough that she took half home. Old Milford Parlor is a great stop while you are in Milford and a must if you are looking for something sweet!“
“This is a great spot to have drinks and watch a game, as well as it looks like a good coffee house. Recently visited with my wife on one occasion to watch the FC game and with a friend on another. Both times service was great and on one of the nights they had live music. They serve a variety of local craft beers. Good looking outdoor patio in addition to retractable windows. Hard to find the FC games on tv anymore so this is a big plus and they have happy hour pricing which is another plus. Will be going back“
“The first time I went I asked the difference between two drinks and not only did the barista explain the difference between the drinks he made other suggestions based on those drinks so the next time I went I got his suggestion, the avalanche, and it was so good! Every time I come they are so fast and so friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough.“
“Excellent smoothies crafted by people who care deeply about their product. No lactose, but you'd never know it. I personally love that none of the varieties we tried were overly sweet (Chocolate banana, orange Creamsicle, and S'mores).As great as the smoothies and teas are, the people are even better, which makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable.“
“I applaud this as above and beyond for a coffee shop , first time in Tuesday 11/21 evening and the house blend drip ? is phenomenal. Service , quality , price and location A+ Dark long haired girl very kind , very respectful, great communication ? ? Thank You!!! Now I know where I'll go before work!!!!“
“Do I enjoy the flavor of a certain popular chain better than Biggby's coffee? Yes. Do I come to this Biggby anyway? Also yes. I haven't fully figured out yet how to get a drink that tastes good and doesn't give me jitters or sugar headaches (their cold brew is amazing but the caffeine content is so high), but Biggby has won me over with their attitude and approach to business. This particular location has a few baristas that I enjoy talking to every time I come in, and the trivia of the day is such a smart, nice touch to make the cafe feel more personal. I love that even though Biggby is technically a chain, they manage to still feel like a local, small business. And I'm sure I'll find a go-to drink soon. Highly recommend Biggby.“
“These donuts will make you do a jig as soon as you take a bite, fresh & delicious . I'm almost embarrassed to admit that this is my first time here, obviously a Cincinnati staple. The owner says they go quickly but suggests coming right at 6 a.m. when they are right out of the oven. Can't wait to get more of these donuts. Just a good, old school, classic donut.“
“Absolutely love Biggby!! Super friendly staff, great rewards program, and delicious food and drinks!Parking: They have a small amount of parking but here it doesn't matter much because the only reason you would need to park is if you went to the pick up window. This is a drive thru location so no need for lots of parkingKid-friendliness: They have a specific group of drinks that are kid friendly. Being a mom, I love this so much! My kids always want to drink my drinks but now I can get them drinks without the caffeine and they're still delicious and they have more options than just cocoa“
“Place is super cute and the cheesecake it’s phenomenal! The lattes are really really sweet (we tried the seasonal flight). It’s a cute idea totally in there. I think the owner was in serving us and she was great too. There is no place to sit and eat but outside (with it being Ohio you can bet it’s a 50/50 chance it’ll be nice enough lol). Worth a stop in for sure!“
“I have been to an embarrassing number of Starbucks locations, and this one is by far my favorite. The baristas are all so nice, and my drinks are made perfectly each time. This is also the only Starbucks location where there hardly ever is a wait; they move so dang fast! So happy they added this location.“
“I have business meetings over coffee. After a terrible experience at a coffee shop on Monmouth, Trailhead became an option. What a great place. Sure there’s the sidewalk window, it’s the cozy indoor seats that make it perfect for businessThe great coffee and friendly folks means it’s a staple.“
“OHHH my gosh. I wish I would have gotten the girls name that worked this morning around 10:30. It was my first time at any biggby coffee. I have heard of this place but I am so picky and boring when it comes to trying out new things. I risked it today. I was wanting a hot chocolate. The girl was fantastic and so patient with me when I was looking at the drive through menu. She answer my questions and made the best hot chocolate that I have ever had. I also had the donut holes and they were so fresh. I will be coming back again just for her. Also she told me about the membership to where you get every 13th drink free. Overall this young woman was fantastic and I hope she continues to work there. She made my day.“
“Best Cold Brew in Cincinnati. The coffee ice is a gamechanger. Their baristas are so always so nice and patient, even while dealing with long lines in the drive thru & inside. Highly recommend for both a quick drive thru on the way to work or to sit down with friends for a nice cup of coffee.“
“Love this spot!!! It's in a convenient spot in Newtown when I'm traveling to the office or taking my daughter to school. Pleasant staff and great selection of drinks and breakfast items. The service is always quick and welcoming. Perfect look and feel for a coffee shop. Keep up the good work!“
