That’s how it should be thank you taylormill for having better trained your employees to have hospitality pat on the back I will come here more often just learned the gentle man’s name thank u Patrick“
“My leadership team met here for a planning session. The atmosphere was great! The staff was so kind and helpful. We ordered a variety of drinks. I ordered coffee, others ordered wine. We also ordered a charcuterie board for the table. It was nicely prepared and everything was fresh. Highly recommend!“
“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.“
“Stopped on our way from Ohio to Nashville. Quaint little place. Friendly staff food was very good. Had the Burrata which was some toasted baguette pieces with mozzarella and tomato. Also had a Cobb salad and the special sandwich which was a toasted sandwich and cream of mushroom soup. Overall a very tasty stop.“
“Amazing venue. Fun, friendly, and entertaining. Second Sight's bourbon is amazing, as well as other unexpected and unique spirits, like absinthe and hazelnut liqeuer. Bar tenders are always welcoming and the owners Carus and Rick are super friendly and informative.“
“Was told to try this place out and am very glad that I did. I ordered an iced latte and a breakfast sandwich and was blown away by both of them! Latte was small but packed a punch and had great flavor. Breakfast sandwich was a croissant with egg, sweet potato, cream cheese and (I think spinach?). Legitimately one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in the whole city. Do yourself a favor and try out this gem in the West End.“
“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.“
“We rented the space for a book signing after hours. The owner and staff were not only professional but went above and beyond to help us setup and cleanup. The vibe was perfect and all over our guests raved about it. The ambiance was beautiful. It couldn’t have gone better!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Great little cafe located in a quiet part of downtown - not many places like it. Extremely friendly service and the sandwiches are always delicious. Came in for Mardi Gras and tried their sandwich, gumbo, and dirty rice combo, and loved all of it. More people need to know about this place.“
“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 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!“
“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.“
“Coffia is a delightful gem located just off Vine Street. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by a wonderfully inviting atmosphere and exceptional service that make you feel right at home. As a coffee aficionado, I pay close attention to the quality of espresso, and I must say, Coffia truly impressed me. Their espresso was expertly crafted, boasting the perfect balance of flavor and aroma. It’s clear that quality and attention to detail are top priorities here. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this charming coffee shop is a must-visit for anyone seeking a superb coffee experience.“
“Fantastic coffee, the service is amazing. I ordered my coffee and they actually brought it to my table. I brought my laptop in to do some work and the amount of people in and out while I was there was amazing for this tiny town. I could tell there were lots of regulars coming in for their daily fix. This is a place to visit if your ever in Alexandria Kentucky. The owner talked to everyone as if she had known then for years. I love the feel of this place. You need this in your life!“
“Great food. I love that they have gluten-free bread options and their coffees are amazing too. The staff is always friendly and the homemade pastries are delicious. I also love their mission. Local people helping local people. Great breakfast food and dinner specials. Chef Gigi is the best.“
“Very shocked in the great price for the quality of the danish and iced latte and add-in the exquisite atmosphere. This place is truly great and I hope to go back. I got the honey bear late and an apple danish!Only difficult thing is the parking but there is plenty of side streets that are minimal walk.“
“Mom ‘n ‘em is truly a gem in Camp Washington. Their avocado toast is a personal favorite and my favorite places to get it in the city. When the weather is nice, they have a wonderful little area to sit outside. They are a little on the pricier side (a coffee and breakfast run me about $22, where as maybe other places I could get coffee and a light breakfast for around $15) but is well worth the quality of the coffee and food. Also a great place to get tined fish, if you’re a fan. Love coming here to catch up with friends or work remotely.Dietary restrictions: Milk alternatives, can alter items if u have allergies. Had a close call with their granola bc it has nuts in it, but they replaced the item with no hesitation and no charge“
“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!“

“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.“
“At Coffee Emporium, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, and an excellent drop of coffee indulges your lips, be on the look out for T'anthony Smith, a 17-year-old who went missing in town on February 2nd. If you've seen him or have any information, please visit the AmigosForKids website to share your insights. Together, amidst the warmth of our community, let's bring T'anthony home. I believe that T'anthony is waiting to be found and that with your help, he will be.“
“My macadamia milk latte was divine! Came 30 min before closing (ugh yes, I know and also h8 me) but was given incredible customer service + a delicious bev all the same. Their sweetness levels aren’t overwhelming at all, and the intentionality behind their future goals as an org listed clearly by the entrance is admirable. The open layout that ensures there isn’t a divide between the bar and the customer is truly unique- and the bar itself was clean (way to go barista!). 12/10 would recommend.“
“Absolutely love Enlightenment coffee! The location is in a small strip mall off the Richwood exit. The cafe is nicely decorated and always so clean. You will be greeted upon entering and delighted by the pleasant aroma. My favorite is the Salted Carmel Latte. After you check out this cafe, let me know your favorite!“
“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!“
“I've walked past 1215 so many times on the way to somewhere else. We were out and I was craving an espresso martini, so we figured the wine bar and coffee lab was the perfect choice. I was skeptical of ordering their fancy version or a traditional espresso martini because of the mention of chocolate. I'm not a super sweet drink kind of person. I went out on a limb and decided on their fancy version (top model or something like that?) It was sooooo good! Service was fantastic.“
“I loved coming to this little 2nd home type environment while in engineering school at UC music and vibes are always comforting and calming, something I always needed more of. Now coming back as a graduate it’s the same amazing place and I hope it stays this way for many many years to come :) Great place to study, read, talk, or just kill time. Their playlist is always bomb.“
“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.“
“My favorite coffee stop in NKY! This is coffee done to perfection and served in a place that somehow feels both cozy and eclectic. While you're there, be sure to browse the connected shop, La Maison, (SO MANY adorable things you didn't even know you needed) and to buy a Left Bank t-shirt. Mine is one of the comfiest shirts I've ever owned! #LOVE the COV“
“2023: 4/5 stars. Collective has lost some of its magic over the years. It's still pretty good, but the costs have just gone up a lot. Pour overs that were once $3–4 are now $6–7, when they actually have them, for example. They are using North South for pastries now which is a big win. They have largely stopped doing lots of the fine touches that used to make them what they are, such as the single origin espresso option. I still visit, but a lot less than I used to. There are so many other options now compared to OTR in 2016... the newest spots, Redtree and Coffia are both worth checking out.2016: 5/5 stars. It's the best coffee shop in OTR and in Cincinnati. The espresso drinks are nice, pour overs are great, and they do some weird stuff like espresso lemonade ("spronade"). The baristas are very friendly and the owners are down to earth and around most days. Very good neighborhood spot.“
“Food: 4.5/5 They have macarons in every color of the rainbow. After trying many flavors, our favorites are the pistachio, birthday cake, and fruity cereal. The pistachio has a great pistachio flavor and is not overly sweet. The birthday cake is strawberry-forward and is excellent if you have a sweet craving. The fruity cereal tastes exactly like fruity pebbles. They have other flavors we enjoy as well, like salted caramel and Madagascar vanilla. They are delicious and so cute! Service: 3.5/5 Since they have the macarons prebaked, service is usually fast. They have other baked goods for sale that I haven't tried. They have cute long boxes they put them in. Atmosphere: 4/5 The storefront is small, with limited seating. The space is mainly filled with baking equipment. It's very clean and has a minimalist aesthetic with pops of color.“
“I try to stop here when I'm traveling to Cincy. They have really good pour overs and freshly baked pastries. Lots of comfy chairs to sit and tables to work. The Vespa is a nice touch. Employees give off a too cool for you vibe, but everything else is fine.“
“This place is just phenomenal from service to food to pastries the best stop in NKY/ Cincinnati! A staple garnished with family environment and farm to table just amazing! The half sausage gravy AMAZING!Kid-friendliness: Amazing kids happy and smiling!“
“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“
“Delicious bakery in downtown Cincinnati not far from the convention center. Plenty of options from donuts, croissants, danishes, cakes, hot dog buns, curry croquettes, and more. There were so many options that I had a hard time figuring out what to pick the first time that I went back again while I was in town. There was also plenty of coffee options too. Can't wait to go back!“

“Pendleton Parlor is a super cool neighborhood ice cream shop that uniquely offers edible cookie dough scoops along with their ice cream. I tried a Nutella Swirl (Vanilla soft serve + Nutella). It was delicious - thick, rich, creamy. The Universal Studios-esque decor is really neat and worth checking out while your treats are prepared.“
“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!!“
“My new favorite shop for the area. I had the Opera Cream Latte, one of their specialties. Excellent choice. A touch of butter makes it rich but not overly sweet. Excellent music in the background and unique decor. Can't wait to return to try my typical... Plain black coffee!“
“Delicious Ethiopian food in Cincinnati. We got there late on a Sunday night. There were only 3 selections, that's why I gave them only 4 starts. But the service was very friendly, they were attentive and the food we got was absolutely delicious! We also got a cup of Honey wine, which was a good experience too. If this was what we got late on a Sunday night, I can't imagine what we had gotten if we had come at a better time. Not in the photo is a side of flavourful lentils we added after. I will likely be back for more.“
“Let’s talk world-class gelato,So far I think I’ve tried all the flavors and I absolutely love all of them especially howie the duck when it is available amazing friendly service, and very fast and one of the best Affogato I’ve ever had and Cuban corridor!“
“We are transplants from New Jersey and finding pork roll and marble rye out here is next to impossible, so this place gets 5 stars just for having that!Love the atmosphere in here, it’s very cozy feeling and nicely decorated. Service is good. Food is delicious! Pork Roll slices are thick! Marble rye is perfection. Potatoes and eggs were cooked very well- again, so good!Their speciality coffees/lattes and bakery items upstairs are on the pricey end, just as a heads up, but the meal itself was well priced and worth every penny. Always look forward to going back!“
“This is what I have to say. Go here if annd only if you are willing to be sent to an alternate dimension. I'm not sure what is in the coffee, but I have NEVER felt this way (positive connotation). I have been bouncing off the walls for several hours and I think it is not only the sheer content of caffeine I ordered, but also the pure flavor and joy this coffee brought to my otherwise average day. Thank you and enjoy your coffee.“

“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 ❤️“
“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.“
“Nice sandwich shop 700 feet from the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. Decent Cuban Sandwich. A good alternative to the hotel restaurants next door. Service is self-serve, with pick-up at sandwich counter, though you're encouraged to tip at checkout. You can take your food out or enjoy it at a table. A good option next to the Convention Center, though there are several full service restaurants 3-6 blocks down the street from the Convention Center.“
“I like their menu and the staff is always friendly, but they make their drinks too sweet for me. I usually ask them to go easy on the syrup and skip the whip cream. Once I figured that out, I've enjoyed all my coffee from there. I usually stop in twice a week and I continue to do so“
