Coffee Emporium

Good coffee, lack luster atmosphere. The coffee shop is designed to pump customers through. Despite its large size and terrific location, it is not a welcoming atmosphere - at least if you are looking to work from the coffee shop. The chairs are uncomfortable (and incredibly loud dragged on the floor) and the ultimate kicker is that the internet resets every 45 minutes, requiring the user to log off whatever they my be doing and reconnect. Deeper Roots locations are better suited for the work-from-the-coffee-shop type.

Cute coffee place with plenty of options to choose from. They have a variety of cool and hot drinks along with a great selection of baked desserts.
Caramel latte with Almond milk gets 5+ stars. Excellent baristas.

They also sell samples of various coffee blends if you want to try before buying a bag of bulk coffee beans. My place to visit every time I am in town.

Great space to spend time in. I got the hot chocolate with some spice to it and it was great. The service was also great and were able to adjust my drink after I ordered which was certainly a blessing! Also got the coffee cake which was very good flavor and texture!

I’ve been going here for a few years (not consistently since I no longer live or work in Cincy) but it NEVER disappoints! Literally THEE best coffee I’ve had to date! I love the Mudslide blended coffee. I think I get it every time because it’s just too good not to. Their snacks, sides, danishes are great too. Of course the staff is amazing. A great space in the city to chill out and take in the scene.

Iconic coffee shop in the Queen City but the coffee was average.

A great alternative to the mermaid, great selection of coffee and tea with tasty snacks as well.

The space is great for meeting up with friends, or even a lunch date. They use the space well with a combination of intimate tables and community tables spread around the room. It may look crowded but it doesn't 'feel' it.

Nice prices and good service al around.

Great coffee, and pleasant staff... Beautiful atmosphere except, I miss the big comfy couches, and wish they were open later than 4pm!!!

one of the first true businesses to relocate an open for the Renaissance of the urban basin of Cincinnati and it is still going strong. Great coffee great service great people great space.

Cool ambiance and great coffee. Prices are fairly reasonable and they have a great selection of pastries. Plenty of room to sit and not too noisy. I recommend!!

Hard/expensive to park makes visiting often limited to times. When you're already downtown in that area. Otherwise it's an interesting space with gold choices. Wish they had more vegan options and that the music was less intrusive.
