    My sister and our friends stopped in here Monday after lunch to grab coffees before heading back home from our girls weekend. Staff were friendly, but oddly pushy about a coffee club/rewards card (pretty sure it was free, so it makes it more weird) despite us all coming in as a group and individually letting them know we aren't from the area and don't know anyone who could use it. All 4 of us were excited to see the French toast latte they had on the board by the register, but upon tasting it we all felt it didn't taste anything like French toast, which was a let down. I currently have a sore throat, so I had also ordered a hot tea in hopes that by the time I was done with my coffee the tea would be cooled down enough to drink and then I'd also be able to have another warm beverage to drink on the drive home. My plan worked out perfectly, but sadly the tea I selected tasted strongly of hand soap and was incredibly unpleasant to drink. It felt great for my throat, but after each sip I had to drink water to help flush the taste out. I ordered a jasmine green tea and have never had that issue before, so I'm not sure if it's just the brand they use or what. The inside was very clean and they had plenty of tables to sit and work from or catch up with friends. They also had an upstairs area for more space to set up camp for a while. The decor was very in your face about how faith-based they are as a company, they even had bibles sitting out on the ledge you pick up your drinks from, so definitely not for everyone. The bathrooms were clean for a couple of girls from our group that went while we were there.

    laid-back vibes, solid coffee, and a great spot to work or catch up. Always a reliable stop with friendly service and good energy

    French toast with a side of bacon
    Larry H.

    I had noticed this coffee shop on a previous trip over here for dinner. I had a day off, and decided to give it a try. Ordered their old fashioned French toast with a side of bacon, and their peanut butter pie latte. First, the latte - very nice, subtle peanut butter flavor. Doesn't slap you in the face. I really liked this. While I was waiting for my food to come out, I had time to check out the vibe of this place. Good music selection playing in the background, not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. Plenty of seating. The building sits on a corner, so plenty of natural light coming in as well. Chill vibe, I dig it. Finally, the food. They make their French toast using challah bread, which is a favorite of mine. It was delicious. The side of bacon was a nice serving as well (4 pieces). Really enjoyed this shop, will definitely come back!

    I just moved and this place is the most adorable addition to my new community. The coffee options are great and the food is spectacular. The morning bagel sandwhich with bacon jam was so good

    As I visit Bloc for first time, I found out that it had been here since 2007. And have been supporting women in Cincinnati who are escaping sex industry and addictions. I'm so glad I took a chance and try this coffee shop out today. The employees are totally sweet and courteously. The space is decked out with Xmas spirit. Not only that, they have all type of art displayed for purchase. The food and drink came out great! I order a matcha latte, and it was really a Matcha Latte, not all sweeten like all other stores. The only Con is the street parking, but so far with all the Pros, I'm coming back again soon for sure

    Great drinks wonderful menu. The service was quick and my coffee was so good. I had their cold brew. Great little shop. Great views from the second floor. They feature art and photography for sale.

    LOVE the Romano 3

    I love this coffee shop! Whenever I'm in Ohio, I make a point to stop by BLOC, specifically for the Romano drink, which is a blueberry oat milk latte, aka the best beverage I've ever had. Recently, I tried their oatmeal and it was superb. None of that instant nonsense from a packet, this was the real deal, topped with pepitas, craisins, and my request of brown sugar. Their bagel sandwiches are also tasty, as are their cookies and other pastries items when fresh. I love the old building, how eclectic it is, with items from local artists for sale when you enter. The upstairs is also quaint, available to rent for gatherings, and other times fun to relax, sip coffee, or even a different scenery to get work done in. All of the natural lighting is beautiful upstairs, too. Part of the proceeds go towards ending human trafficking. Coffee with a cause? Yes please!

    What a great space! I loved the community vibe, and my dirty chai was delicious. The staff were friendly and warm on one of the coldest March days. There was a full menu and treats everywhere (even gluten-free cookies), but unfortunately, I wasn't hungry :( Next time will be different! It was such a diverse range of folks coming in and out that I felt comfortable and loved to see it. I think I overheard that there was a pottery show upstairs, too, which sounded super cute. Art was fun and music was super random, but I needed noise to work, so it was fine, LOL I look forward to returning

    I need that...

    If you haven't been, you need to drop what your doing and get to Mt Hope for great food, coffee, and more... I have been several times and realized I had never shared my experience. I have been for breakfast and lunch for dine in and multiple take-aways and always had great experiences. On top of Mt Hope near the Incline House and Primavista, the shop is in an incredibly interesting building and there is plenty of parking. Near downtown Cincinnati, it is an easy stop in your way to work or to shoot up the hill for lunch. The shop has a contemporary, laid back feel that makes you want to pull up a chair and "work from home" awhile or have an informal business meeting. Enjoy a cup!

    What a beautiful little coffee shop. The service was quick and friendly. They offer various coffees, teas, smoothies, espresso and beyond drinks they offer breakfast and lunch items. I enjoyed the delicious beverages and the cozy and absolutely well designed building this place is located in. This place is also a brief (one or two minute) walk to some beautiful views from the hilltop overlooking downtown Cincinnati.

    I had known about this place for a while but never tried it until today. The latte I tried most excellent! And the barista was very pleasant to talk to. The food looks good but sadly, I was in a rush this morning and didn't have time to try it. It looks like a delightful place to sit and read. Or perhaps to catch up with good friends. I will certainly be coming back to explore more of their menu.

Essentially for me I had waited too long to eat and the idea of waiting longer was a non starter for me. Sandwiches are not my go to food outside the house, it seems silly on some level. However, the sandwich I had was fantastic and well balanced. There was a good amount of everything without it being too much. Sometimes it's too much. This was great. They also had good, homemade or freshly made sides like potato salad and other salads you could get. It was great.

Miranda made MAGIC happen , that BLT...was L.I.T.! The prices at Red's are not bad for a good sandwich, actually not bad fir a great 5.00 buck lunch ($4.99) will get you whats in the pictures. Now why 3 stars not 5? While the manager I gathered, was taking in a shipment; the young lady at the register was quick to ask can I help, but. the tone was more can you hurry up. Well I asked if they serve food, because at first walking in I didn't really see a setup for it but she just pointed right back to the area where Miranda was standing and just looked as if. Since I didn't actually see the food counter coming in, I was thinking it might have been someone's lunch that smelled really good, but just based upon the fact that good prices, a good BLT; I ordered a BLT two bags of Smartfood popcorn and a ginger ale. Attitude is EVERYTHING to me, SERVICE..is everything to EVERYONE. If you are having a crappy day, step back and know you still have a job to do ( in the service field), you may not like the clientele that come to your establishment at the time I was there... But in the words of Clarence Avant "At the end of the day, its all about the money". Make your money. Be nice to EVERYONE & I'll be back, its a good spot with great prices and food..and Miranda makes a DOPE BLT

But what I remember most of all is the food, particularly ducking into a little shop off a piazza somewhere to grab whatever I could buy and eat while we walked to our next sightseeing destination--a pastry, a slice of pizza, or a sandwich. At Alveo, I almost feel like I'm right back there. The restaurant is small and lively, not a place to linger exactly but a place where you can tell you'll be taken care of. Just as many patrons are ordering to go as they are to stay. And the sandwiches? Good enough to power many, many steps of sightseeing across cobblestones, or just get you through the afternoon at your home or office in Cincinnati. They've absolutely nailed the ingredients on every sandwich I've tried, with high-quality components selected specifically for how they go together. (Like those little sandwich shops in Europe, there are no substitutions here--unless you'd like gluten free bread.) The bread? Unreal how it can hold these constructions together while being soft and delicious. The meats? Perfection. The cheese? Incredible. That pistachio stuff? I see it in my dreams. The one area where Alveo definitely deviates from its European brethren is portion size--these sandwiches are huge! They come in a paper wrapper, inside a to-go box, and believe me, you will probably need it. Each time I've been to Alveo I've ended up eating about half the sandwich for lunch and the rest for dinner, maybe with a snack in between, and felt perfectly satisfied for the day. So, yes, the $20+ price tag might discourage you, but don't let it. It's a $20 investment in a very, very delicious day.
