blaCk Coffee lounge

Love this place! Everyone here is always so kind and helpful. The hot chai tea latte is what I usually get, it’s amazing. Tastes like a holiday. My boyfriend had the caramel iced coffee and loved it. But the real star of the show is their Vegan Chai muffin. I AM TELLING YOU, this muffin is undefeated. Try it. You won’t be sorry.
Very cool atmosphere. Great place to go to hang out and get a drink. I believe they sometimes have live music. Highly recommend!

Such a gem. Stopped while in town for the weekend and will be back.

Staff are friendly and kind. Atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect place to chill, work or read.

Good seating options and love all the windows.

I got their seasonal drink — peppermint mocha? Iced, and I’m glad I did. So sweet and good, but not over the top.

Needed a chill place with large windows to do some reading, research & reflection! And it was the best place to be. Enjoyed a hot green tea with a vegan muffin & too one of "Gail's " lemon bars to go.

Really nice and cool coffee place.
Loved the atmosphere and friendly service.
I’m not a big fan of blends for drip coffee, but their coffee was a pleasant surprise. Smooth, good body and tasty (enjoy with no milk or sugar!).

I can't wait to return and bring friends with me! There was a line when I arrived, and the cashier moved at a good pace. He was friendly and efficient. The Swirl Latte was well worth it! The right amount of sweetness for a drink that has caramel and dark chocolate and paired well with almond milk. I also bought a turkey quiche, which was delicious, with the right amount of flavor to please anyone!
The environment they cultivated is delightful. I enjoy seeing local businesses support others. I bought "Free" by Lucille Banks and read while I was waiting for my order. There are also flyers for local events in several areas and artwork from local artists available for purchase and perfectly tied into the shops atmosphere. Seating is available and inviting, adding to the welcoming atmosphere the coffee shop aims for.
I can't wait to visit again and see this place grow!

I don’t think it’s too bold to say that blaCk Coffee Lounge is a cultural hub in Cincinnati! Highly recommend skipping Starbucks and checking this place out instead for a great latte, chill ambiance, and a sense of community.

It was one of my first times walking around downtown Cincy and I stumbled across blaCk Coffee Lounge with my best friend. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff is so sweet! They took the time to check on us after ordering and a worker also complimented my friends shoes which made her day :) I will definitely be visiting again!

My first time in here felt like I just walked into a community. You can tell people love a coffee shop by how many people are in just to socialize.
The building is adorned with vibrant pop art and flyers.

I ordered a dirty chai latte, which has become my default at new places, and I really liked it. It was refreshing and leaned into the chai a lot more than the coffee. Perfect for a hot summer walk.

I'm excited to come back, whenever I'm in Cincinnati, to explore the menu

First Black-owned coffee shop in Cincinnati! Very comfortable coffee shop to get some work done. Good food and good coffee options. Staff was super friendly and approachable.

Their mission focuses heavily on sharing culture and being a haven for Black creatives which is amazing!

I had the chicken salad croissant with kale and chips. Also, a vanilla caramel latte. The food and coffee ☕ were so delicious. There was a very friendly vibe.
