Caffè Barista & Deli — Restaurant in Cincinnati

Food is really good! Places is cozy.

But the service is kind of rude. No smile, and it was kind of bizarre.

Beyond the breakfast menu, you'll also find the typical deli items, a large array of snacks and dips, salads, sushi, beer/wine, soup of the day, and last but certainly not least: coffee.

If you live near this gem and haven't yet explored it, you need to...

Great deli that also sells 6 packs of beer and bottles of wine. Serves great cold and hot sandwiches (including Boar's Head) and classic salads (some of which they also sell by the pound).

Btw, they also have a pretty good all-day breakfast menu and serve pizzas. I had a delicious and filling chicken Philly cheesesteak. Several more food and beverage options and also some basic convenience store snacks and pantry items.

There's a counter with stools plus a few tables and chairs if you choose to enjoy inside. Open 6 days a week (closed Sunday), usually...
