Coffee Emporium

Excellent coffee and a busy place on a weekday morning when I stopped for my first caffeine. My cortado was excellent and worth paying for as the flow of customers definitely had the baristas working hard. I found a table with a power outlet and was able to connect to their wifi with ease. I stayed about an hour and a half and would have gotten a second coffee except that my parking meter was running out. Cincinnati wants its dollar per hour for sure. Great spot, great coffee.

This is a don’t miss coffee spot in Cincinnati. We stayed in financial district but this was a very short drive or streetcar ride if you are vacationing here. Fantastic roasts and food selections, wraps, baked goods, yogurts, juices and quiches as well as specialty coffees, teas. I loved the espresso. Plentiful seating for singles, families, groups. Must go for breakfast. Line moves fast.

Let me start by saying I am not a coffee drinker. When I came in here I did not know what I wanted, I had no idea what anything meant and I didn't know what to expect. I assumed it would be like how beer has a bunch of different flavors like apple, licorice, chocolate, watermelon, and there would be random flavors but for coffee. This wasn't really the case, at least i don't think. I mean i thought the apple cider meant apple cider coffee, i asked and it was normal apple cider lol. I told the server I had no idea what I wanted and he helped work through the options with me to see what I might like. It was super sweet. He knows his stuff! I got some type of latte or something. Idk it has milk (assuming cow milk) and it's iced. It tastes really good. Like a super good crisp nutty refreshing coffee flavor. I also got a muffin it really hit the spot. Just what I needed right after Latin mass at old saint Mary's down the street. There was also free parking on clay street??? I fully extended to pay and I was so pleasantly surprised I didn't have to. Anyways this coffee is so good and I like it a lot. It's not over powering, or too sweet, it also doesn't taste like fake sweetener or anything. It doesn't really have a texture, it's just liquid. But the ice wasn't too cold so it was nice. The lid did keep leaking but it was fine. The muffin was super moist and tasty and I want 5 more! It kinda tasted like marshmallows. Anyways I might be a coffee drinker now.( But not for the caffeine!!! The caffeine is the issue, I can't really consume caffeine without getting jittery and on edge. I have a bike ride right after this so I'm hoping the caffeine will do me good.) Too bad I don't know anything about coffee. Maybe I will if I keep coming here.

Amazing staff and amazing offerings! This will be my go to coffee/pastry/sandwich place whenever I am in this area. The dirty Chai (chai with espresso) was the wake me up I needed! Pastries were on point and sandwiches were divine!

Cute coffee place with plenty of options to choose from. They have a variety of cool and hot drinks along with a great selection of baked desserts. Caramel latte with Almond milk gets 5+ stars. Excellent baristas. They also sell samples of various coffee blends if you want to try before buying a bag of bulk coffee beans. My place to visit every time I am in town.
