50 Best Coffee Shops near Saint Bernard

“I want to give a major shout out to this Biggby Coffee in St Bernard. They are always a friendly coffee shop housed in a small building they share with Skyline Chili. After extreme storms hit the greater Cincinnati area on August 11, 2026, a large area in St Bernard was without power, including St Bernard's grocery store, Dollar Tree, Wendy's, Hamilton County Public Library, etc.

Biggby Coffee was serving people all day long and at times truly slammed with customers. What touched my heart was in the afternoon when I went down, they were patiently allowing all of us to charge phones and hand chargers, computers and tablets for kids, even in one case hearing aids! They let people know they could stay as long as they needed. Rain was coming in waves and they never hurried any customer out. Their Grace was appreciated. The customers when I was there ranged in age from 4 years old through at least 79 which is how old I am. Saint Bernard can be grateful for that coffee shop. The owner can be proud of his employees. I'm certain they made a lot of loyal customers yesterday.

I had an excellent iced latte with oat milk and was able to find a gluten-free brownie.“

“This is a must visit bakery! The product is simply amazing and it is clear that the team here takes great pride in it (as they deservedly should). Every time I visit the area I make it a point to stop here - even if it is out of my way - as I am ALWAYS delighted with the tasty treats. You should too.“

“I visited Kings Arms Coffee today for the first time, I was impressed! The coffee was silky smooth, I would recommend it.“

“Walked in and was immediately greeted by the most amazing cashier. He touted everything on the menu. We ended up going with the Friday meatball sandwich special, the Italian sandwich and two vanilla tonka lattes. Both sandwiches and lattes were heavenly! We can’t wait to go back to try the rest of them on the menu.“

“I just wanted to let you know that my mom had a hankering for your spinach quiche pie. She's always busy and doesn't think things through sometimes. She threw the highly coveted quiche pie in her handbag and ran home to do some things before having a moment to eat the pie. Whatever. I saw the pie in her handbag, grabbed it and ran into the bushes to eat it as fast as I could. If the speed and accuracy of my devouring the highly coveted spinach ricotta pie is any indication of the number of stars this review requires, it is certainly a five out of five. Signed, Franki, the little black scruffy dog with a face (and sneaky fox vibe) only my mother could love. Thanks Coffee Emporium!!!“

“The drinks are expertly made and the place is immaculate! Shout out to Jack!“

“Y’all, Francesca is the best. These are the best croissants I have had in Cincy, and some of the best coffee. I came in to pick up a birthday cake and Francesca spoke with me in Italian and was so, so kind and generous. Definitely go see this place.“

“Ludlow Coffee is a great way to start the day! Cheery barista, sunny patio, tight-knit community meeting place! Snacks, pastries, Deeper Roots coffee. Try them!“

“Everything about this place is amazing. The food is too good. I ate until my tummy hurt. The gentleman behind the counter made me feel loved and welcome. The family that owns it are great people who give back to the community. It is tucked away, but def worth finding.“

“Benson Paige is a pup who has lived in a shelter for a whole year. Today is his last day on earth since he is being humanely euthanized tomorrow. A foster took him out and spent some time at Bloc, so benson got to finally cuddle up on a couch. He finally got to eat a whole plate of eggs, a plate of bacon and experience the good life- something he never got to experience before. Stevie the lead barista was incredibly kind and compassionate over the phone with me while I tried to coordinate getting benson a special treat and helped me make sure the foster & benson were taken care of and that he got to experience love. There are no words to describe my gratitude to them and thank them for providing a place for benson to be safe and loved. ❤️❤️❤️ can not recommend them enough for their customer service“

“Coffee Emporium has the best Caramel macchiato I’ve ever had - it was a perfect balance of coffee with a little bit of sweetness. I had a breakfast burrito which was fantastic! Please open a location in Liberty Twp, West Chester, or Mason 😊😊☕️“

“This is a wonderful coffee shop serving great Yemeni coffee. The atmosphere is amazing and the two gentlemen behind the counter were SUPER friendly. Highly recommend.“

“Although I've lived in the neighborhood for over 10 years, I've only visited Carabello Coffee a couple of times, which I regret. It's an easy walk from Newport on the Levee and most other spots in Newport, making it a convenient stop if you're exploring the area. Street parking is available.

I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak to the coffee itself, but I was genuinely impressed by the selection of teas. The service was phenomenal, everyone was incredibly friendly and happy to answer my many questions without making me feel out of place. Beyond the drinks, the retail space is worth browsing on its own. If you appreciate thoughtful design, you'll find everything from unique chocolates to beautifully crafted coffee makers and brewing accessories that are as interesting to look at as they are functional.

The shop is divided into three distinct spaces, each with its own atmosphere. The center serves as the main counter where you can order coffee, tea, and a quick bite. To the right is a comfortable seating area that's perfect for enjoying your drink, while the space to the left (Analog) has more of an Internet cafe feel, complete with themed drinks and food.

What stood out to me most was how adaptable the space feels. Whether you're meeting a friend, settling in to work for a few hours, or simply looking for a quiet place to slow down, Carabello seems to naturally fit the moment.“

“What a delightful coffee shop! Lots of delicious options. I had the Cinnamon Chip Muffin, Hazelnut coffee and took home an Almond croissant. They have sugar free and gluten free options, too! Scrumptious. Chill and friendly atmosphere with good service. Local art on display and community feel. Easy parking. I highly recommend.“

“Such a cute coffee shop! Visiting from out of town and wanted a really good cup of coffee - they did not disappoint! They offer latte flights, allowing you to try a variety of their awesome flavors. Owners were so personable and friendly, telling us their sweet love story while making our coffees. HIGHLY recommend a visit!“

“Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.“

“Unbelievable place. Found it while working construction downtown. Ive eaten lunch there for over a month straight now and there is not one thing that disappointed me. Soups are some of the best I've ever had, sandwiches to die for, they have there own menu but can get what you want made, cant beat the specials!!! They also do breakfast but I havent tried that yet, but my friends have had omelets for lunch and said they were fire!!! Also the in-house made pastries and sweet are great too. Also everything is well priced!! And the staff is amazing!!“

“I got a black cold brew, and my friend got a drip coffee. They served it in real glasses, which I personally always think makes the coffee taste better haha. It was pretty good quality. There was lots of space for studying and meeting with others. The atmosphere reminded me of a home in which others are invited in.“

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

“Spa day with my friends for my birthday was the most amazing experience! Charcuterie board was beyond my expectations and a perfect mix. All items at the coffee bar were delicious and the perfect variety for our eclectic group. We had manis, pedis and massages. Alex and the entire team were so genuinely kind and accommodating! I wish I lived closer and could utilize this work space regularly.“

“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.“

“The location is very convenient for working remotely, meeting clients, or grabbing a morning or afternoon coffee. I love the overall energy and vibe and meet new people as well as see old friends every time I go.“

“Great service, friendly barista, EXCELLENT pastry selection (omg so good), delicious coffee. I really appreciated the pride flags at the register letting me know this is a queer-friendly spot for my family. A pride flag out front or in the window is my only suggestion — it would let new customers like me know to choose your shop over others.“

“love❤ Mrs. Carol and family they always make you feel like you come to visit there home they serve you with so much care my children and grandchildren loves her as well .I always look forward to going and being there when I can a beautiful place to relax or unwind love you all💜💖“

“Such a great coffee shop in the heart of Cincinnati! We loved the atmosphere, the friendly vibe, and all of the options they had to choose from. There was truly something for everyone, from drinks to food and bakery items. Everything looked amazing! It’s the kind of place you could stop into again and again and still have new things to try. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Black Squirrel Cafe is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the coziest atmosphere and the friendliest staff who truly make you feel welcome. The iced lattes are next-level; smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced and the pastries are just so good. I’m more of a Starbucks type of guy and I don’t go outside that box but with this I wasn’t disappointed! It’s the perfect spot for a quick pick-me-up or a place to relax and soak in the warm, local charm. If you’re looking for amazing coffee, great service, and a feel-good vibe, this place is a must-stop. I’ll definitely be back again and again!“

“Great environment to work during the day, then to relax with friends over a cocktail after work!“

“Wonderful coffee and great service! They're always so friendly and I enjoy the taste of their coffee better than other nearby coffee shops.“

“Great music, great food and drink! I enjoy playing here, as well as going to hear other amazing artists play.“

“Absolutely adore this place. If you are a fan of Harry Styles this is where you need to be. A special menu in his honor. Delicious coffee drinks. A gift shop with something unique for just about everyone. No indoor seating, but the front porch and seating around the back have so much charm.“
