Cincinnati｜Coffee Shop Guide ☕️✨

Suddenly realized I've collected enough photos from various cafés to round up my tried‑and‑true spots in the city 😆 Feel free to recommend your favorites — I love exploring new ones! For me, it's atmosphere > taste > price > other factors 🙌 Moon Flowers 🌳 My all‑time favorite so far 😍 — a woman‑owned gem that blends a café with a vintage & bookstore. The decor is delicate and the vibe is just perfect 🎍. They often roll out new seasonal drinks, all delightful. Great for afternoon tea or remote work 🫖. Proud Hound Cafe 🍵 Small but vibrant and colorful. Since they serve brunch, it can get a bit noisy — but their blue butterfly pea latte is stunning and delicious 🦋. I’ll be back when I don’t need dead‑quiet focus. Red Tree 🌲 Highly recommended by many coworkers! Coffee is solid, and their syrups aren’t overly sweet like many U.S. spots. The space is spacious, and the artwork throughout adds real character 🖼️. Coffee Emporium 🍮 I visited the Oakley location, nestled in front of beautiful homes with lots of foot traffic. They have plenty of outdoor patio seating — so nice on a good‑weather day 😌. As a dessert lover, I also adore their selection of handmade pastries 💓. Kala Coffeehouse 🦘 Located near my old apartment in Mason — honestly, probably the best option in that coffee desert. The two‑level space is large, lit warmly, and feels incredibly cozy. Their cashew latte is rich, and avocado toast is yummy 👍. Cacoon Coffee 🍡 Also in Mason — atmosphere is just average, feels a bit empty and lacks vibe. But! They use beans from my favorite West Coast roaster (Olympia Coffee), so they get bonus points from me 💯. Cincy Cafe 🀄️ Found near UC with great ratings. Decor is student‑friendly and study‑focused. They serve Middle Eastern‑style coffee, so it’s unique — the pistachio latte is flavorful but quite sweet 👅. Roebling Books & Coffee - Covington 🌉 I stop by every time I cross the bridge. A charming, historic little bookstore divided into cozy nooks — some for books 📚, some for coffee and chat. Their special drinks lean syrup‑forward but don’t taste artificial. #Cincinnati #CoffeeGuide #CafeHopping #LocalSpots #CincinnatiEats #CoffeeLovers 📍💖
