Trailhead Coffee — Restaurant in Newport

Trailhead is a fun place to grab coffee (inside or outside!) w/ the ability to poke around at the attached bike shop while you wait for your drink. The two baristas, Jane & Elliot, are both great people and make excellent coffee. For snacks, Trailhead has baked goods from North South Baking Co ranging from cookies to croissants as well as serves Marty’s Waffles. The baked goods are on rotation but usually offer a vegetarian or vegan option. Additionally, some syrups + flavors for drinks are made in-house which adds to a unique experience. Trailhead has become my preferred spot for espresso, mochas, and matcha specifically.

Accommodations: Menus are available in English and in Spanish and Jane has knowledge of ASL. The coffee bar is wheelchair accesible inside and outside (whereas part of the bike shop portion has a couple of step-up/downs).

Milks offered: whole, half/half, oat, macadamia

Parking: parking is free on both sides of 7th street which trailhead is located. There is also a free city lot located off of 7th behind the bike/coffee shop.

Walked around Newport and Covington all day yesterday running errands. I was looking for a local coffee place I had never tried before, and was delighted to come upon this place. My boyfriend and I walked up, not realizing it was 3:50 and they closed at 4. The woman behind the counter was very rude to us. We informed her it was our first time there, and wanted to know what was good. She replied with “I can’t tell you what to get because I don’t know what you drink”. We finally decided on what we wanted. She handed us our drinks, I said “thanks have a good one!” And proceeded to leave her a 3$ tip on a 7$ order. And she didn’t even reply. Not even a smile. She should have just told us they were closed if she didn’t want to serve us. The drinks were great, but I’ll spend my money...

This coffee shop is perfect simplicity. No frills and a small menu lead to a pretty perfect cup of coffee. Located in the back of Reser bicycle it can be easy to miss, keep your eyes peeled they have their own entrance down a side street.

No need to learn any fancy names for coffee sizes here...they only come in one size! Let me recommend the grizzley. This place uses local made caramel and it adds just the right amount of sweetness. As a gal who doesn't love overly sweet coffee this was perfect for me!

This is the only place in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky that offers Wood Burl Coffee and let me tell you, you've got to try it- in the coffee game, it's kind of amazing. It's roasted locally in Dayton, Ohio and the flavors change seasonally...it's that...
