As a person who loves coffee, Coffee Emporium is not the best place for coffee in Cincinnati. The beans are very mediocre and highly flavored. This trickles into how the coffee tastes at the shop. Coffee Emporium is also super busy so it takes a long time to get coffee, etc. positive is definitely the assortment of pastries, etc.
One of the best in Cincinnati. Service is always top notch, wonderful drinks and pastries. If you haven't stopped in, I don't know what you are waiting for!
Such a lovely spot to sit out and visit while enjoying CE's always enjoyable coffee! It was a little loud from the AC by the pergola, so we sat out front. CE engages in so many practices to ensure their coffee and packaging are ethical - so impressive!
Great cappuccino. Very busy!
Best coffee beans bar none! Great service from staff. Always a pleasure
My daughter and I were visiting Cincinnati from Atlanta and she had seen this coffee shop on IG. We went out of our way to visit and we were NOT disappointed! My mocha had spicy Mexican chocolate and it was by far the best mocha I have EVER enjoyed! We are planning a trip back this week and will definitely stop by this amazing coffee shop again!
Good coffee and always super friendly.
We loved this shop! The 2nd floor seating was delightful and we had a blast sitting by the window watching families, friends and pets come and go. The staff was super quick and efficient in helping all the customers (they were busy!) The blueberry muffin was fantastic. We have been to both locations and they give completely different “vibes” - one much bigger and open (downtown) and this one, much smaller and cozier. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either!
As a first-time visitor to the great city of Cincinnati, I was thrilled to find such a cute, welcoming coffee shop. I loved it so much I visited 3 times during my one-week stay. The manager, Chance, was so friendly, and we had a good chat; he even remembered me when I stopped by again. Definitely get the gluten-free banana nutella muffin. I still daydream about it! Also, if you're a mug collector like me, they have a wide selection of beautifully designed mugs that are such a delight!
The line can get long, but it’s well worth the wait. I use their beans for my brewing at home and the consistency, freshness and quality are hard to beat!
Love, love, love this place!! Im hooked for life. Coffee are all delicious and yumm-ay treats. The staff is wonderful. Great, welcoming service with a smile. Very invite, cute little coffee shop. I have also visited their other location. I live in Florida, but visit them when im in Ohio visiting family and i also place online orders for my coffee needs.
This is definitely my favorite coffee shop. I wish it was larger because the line regularly extends outside the building so bring a coat if the weather is bad.
Love the nitro cold brew at coffee emporium. This location can get really busy so be prepared to wait for your caffine.
So Great!!! But they close way too early now. Great food great coffee. But out of luck after 2 pm.
Nice place to get a coffee. Great for outdoor seating, and nice area to grab a coffee and go on a walk. You'll have to parallel park, but it's not too bad.
Right across from the Mushroom house! Great coffee. Parking is non-existent, expect to walk a block or two... but it's through an EXTREMELY beautiful neighborhood (drive through it if you're a fan of architecture and/or old homes)
Delish. I had a smoothie and a breakfast burrito along with my coffee. They are all delicious. Definitely crowded on a Saturday morning though
I love this coffee shop! This particular location is best visited on a beautiful day so you can take advantage of their large patio, since there is little to no seating indoors. The patio in the back is nice and shaded by large trees and lush greenery. The side patio has multiple tables with umbrellas and super comfortable. There are also some tables in the front, right next to the street. Just perfect for people watching. Coffee is great. My favorite drink is the Brew Hoo (Half coffee and half chocolate milk). One of my favorite coffee shops in the city!
I have been going to Coffee Emporium for years now and have had nothing but good experiences. Only to be let down and be treated unfairly by this business one Sunday afternoon. I arrived to Coffee Emporium right before they closed and got to the door exactly at 4:00 PM. At first I tried to open the door but it was locked. I was confused because I had no idea they closed at 4 pm and should have checked beforehand. One of the workers putting things away looked through the glass and mouthed to me “sorry we’re closed”. I had no issue that they were closed, and just walked back to my car. As I am in my car looking for another coffee shop to go to, my boyfriend and I witness this Caucasian lady with a stroller walk up to the door not realizing they are closed as well. As we sit there, we witness her look at the door and flail her hands up theatrically disappointed they were closed. Someone comes up to open the door and very happily takes her order. We see her hand the guy the money and soon after she receives her drink. The concerning thing for me is the fact that Coffee Emporium decided that it was okay to pick and choose who they decide to serve based on how the customer looks. I feel like there was an unconscious bias happening in deciding who got service in that moment. I do not understand why me arriving right at 4 pm causes me to 1. not only get no one to physically come up and talk to me, 2. Not place an order BUT when a Caucasian lady comes up to the door minutes after me, she gets served with great customer service. Truthfully I am beyond disappointed in this business. I have contacted the manager about the issue and talked to Sam/Samantha (said manager), and was told that their policy is no one after closed gets served and would be contacted back, after they looked into the issue. I gave them about 1 to 2 weeks to get back to me and still no response. This just proves that they do not care about certain issues and favor a specific clientele. I will not be retur
Great coffee spot. In the neighborhood it's in, a little gem. Other than parking being tough, this is an outstanding place.
