Cincinnati Café Guide ☕️✨

Just realized I’ve collected enough café visits to put together a little guide to our city’s cozy spots! Here are the places I’ve checked off my list 😆 I’m all about: Vibe > Taste > Price > Everything else 🙌 Let me know your faves — always looking for new spots to try! 🌿 Moon Flowers My absolute favorite so far 😍 A beautiful woman-owned space that’s a café + vintage shop + bookstore all in one! Super delicate decor and calming energy 🎍 They regularly introduce new seasonal drinks — all delicious. Perfect for afternoon tea or getting some remote work done 🫖 🦋 Proud Hound Cafe Tiny but vibrant — with bold colors and strong brunch energy! It can get a bit noisy, but their blue butterfly pea flower latte is as stunning as it is tasty 🦋 I’ll be back when I’m in the mood for something lively! 🎨 Red Tree A local classic — so many coworkers recommended this one! Well-balanced coffee — not overly sweet like typical American syrup bombs 🍯 Spacious interior with art-filled walls that add so much character 🖼️ 🍮 Coffee Emporium I visited the Oakley location — nestled among gorgeous homes with a steady stream of regulars. Lots of outdoor patio seating — ideal on a sunny day 😌 Plus, their handmade pastries stole my heart (and sweet tooth) 💓 🦘 Kala Coffeehouse The best option in the Mason coffee desert! Two floors with warm lighting and a super cozy atmosphere ✨ Must-tries: cashew latte (rich and smooth) + avocado toast (fresh and flavorful) 👍 🍡 Cacoon Coffee Also in Mason — the vibe is a bit plain and open, if I’m honest… BUT — they source beans from Olympia Coffee (a fave West Coast roaster) 🏔️, so they get major bonus points from me 💯 🀄 Cincy Cafe Stopped by this highly-rated spot near UC — no-frills student hangout. They serve Middle Eastern-style coffee — the pistachio latte is bold but pretty sweet 👅 📚 Roebling Books & Coffee - Covington My go-after-crossing-the-bridge spot! A historic little bookshop with separate nooks for reading 📖 and chatting ☕ Tried their signature drinks — syrup-forward but not artificial-tasting 🌉 #CincinnatiLife #CincinnatiCafes #CoffeeLovers #CafeHopping #StudySpots #LocalBusiness
