    Spicy Shakshuka and London Fog were delicious, with ample leftovers for the next day!

    Cafe Alma is a family favorite for brunch. We were thrilled to meet up with our of town visitors Saturday- and everyone left satisfied and happy. The food, service and vibe are always terrific.

    We found this cafe doing a search for gluten free food. The place was great, quaint, staff were pleasant and attentive, and the food was outstanding. Finally got to try shakshuka for the first time! Several GF options and this is a restaurant that understands celiac disease.

    The brunch here is so good! I've tried both the rosewater waffle and the French toast, and you honestly can't go wrong with either -- both are delicious. The inside is surprisingly spacious, and we've never had an issue getting a table, even during busy times. Parking can be a little tight though, so just be prepared to park across the street or a bit down the road. Overall, amazing brunch and definitely worth the visit!

    It's still an amazing cafe - I love the salted honey tahini latte currently on special! Give it a try!

    Never disappoints. Came here early July and again because I love this place that much. I bring all my friends whenever they visit. From the drinks to the food and bakery items, everything on the menu is amazing. They even expanded their cafe into the Rec Center in Blue Ash. Now I just need them to come to Mariemont :) I was super hungry so I got a lot of food this time. I had never tried any of their sandwiches so I got the eggplant sandwich which has the hummus. It was very tasty and filling. I had also got the latte flight because it's always so hard to choose from the drink menu since they have so many tasty lattes. This gave me a chance to try a handful of them. I had also gotten a side of the Israeli salad and a chocolate chip pancake. That Israeli salad is so refreshing and as a side comes with a healthy portion. The pancake is so moist as it's made from yogurt. Every single bite was delicious and had the right amount of chocolate chips to batter ratio. I really liked how light and airy their pancake is. My friends were very happy with all their choices as well. I don't think I've had anything that I've not liked on the menu here. The staff is super friendly and is usually quick. However, the last few times I have seen it take much longer for the food to come out as the kitchen is backed up. Not sure if this was just for the summer or if they are still trying to hire with their new location in Blue Ash Being open as well. However, it is worth the wait,, but just something to know because it had eaten up most of our Sunday when I had friends visiting because we were there for a little over two hours before everyone got fed. Can't wait to be back again soon.

    Needed a quick bite while working remote in between seeing clients. Service was fast and atmosphere is very nice! The parfait was refreshing and delicious. Loved how fresh the fruit was. This was my first visit and I will definitely be back for a full meal'

    Beautiful space. Authentic food. They stay busy, but you can make reservations online. The breakfast sandwich tahini had a mustard flavor that I did not like, I wished i had said on the side. I like the diverse choice of sides - tried the broccoli, sweet potatoes and broccoli. The lattes are indulgent. Baklavatte was like a dessert.

    Love this place! Service and food are outstanding. Started with the Rose Matcha Latte and enjoyed the tomato basil quiche of the day. Highly recommend

    Great spot for breakfast and especially brunch! Cozy atmosphere, perfect for a friend gathering! Every meal I had here was hearty, balanced and tasty. My recommendations are the Shakshouka and the Golden Latte!

    If you're searching for fresh and delicious, this is the brunch spot you've been wanting all your life! There is some street parking, as well as availability in their small lot. Plenty of natural light and great energy inside as you're guided to your table. Will you choose a coffee flight? A fresh loaf of challah bread with hummus? It's all delish! For this visit, we had Max's French Toast and the eggs benedict. They make the very best French toast, so I recommend you try that first. It is plenty big to share, unless you are super hungry. Service was a tiny bit off this time, but you can't win them all.

    The NJBenedict Roasted Sweet Potatoes
    John S.

    Cute vibes and friendly staff. The food looks nice but the only thing that I liked was the classic hummus and the salmon. The bread can be a bit tough but the inside was soft and paired well with the hummus. The parking lot is a little on the smaller side so you might need to find somewhere else to park nearby. It might also help to check the menu out online before you come.

    Shakshuka and challah
    Kim S.

    Cafe Alma had been on my list of restaurants to try for quite a while but it's about a 45 minute drive so the opportunity doesn't come up often. I was so glad we got to fit it in with a trip to Cincinnati today! Their parking lot is tiny and there were no available spaces so we had to back up and back onto Montgomery Road which was a little daunting. Luckily there was street parking right out front though. I had heard there is often a wait so was pleased that at noon on a Sunday we got right in. It was hopping though so it was very loud, so much so that it was hard to have a conversation. We were seated at a table with banquette seating that was unusually high and awkward to the table. We noticed the couple next to us commenting on that as well. Our server, as well as the hostess, were friendly and efficient. We ordered cocktails and our food at the same time; the food came out so quickly that it arrived before the drinks! I had never had shakshuka so had to order that and my hubby got the French toast. He did have to ask for syrup but other than that he enjoyed it. My shakshuka came with challah and both were very tasty. Oh and the cocktail was delicious and refreshing too! Definitely want to go back and take my daughter and her boyfriend next time.

    What a perfect little cafe! I can't believe the space used to be Molly Malones, the renovations and decor are so good! The staff is friendly, food delicious, and fresh juices a Must have! I can't wait to stop by again!

    The food is good but beware they use seed oils so make sure you ask if it's in your dish id you care about that.

    I had brunch there on Friday, 7/19 and paid with the handheld computer. I just happened to notice that I don't see a charge on my debit card. However, I have a pending charge for Lola Cafe, which I've never been to before. Same company?

    Hi! Good question — our LLC is registered under Café Lola so that pending charge on your card is us!

John greeted me with a warm smile as soon as I came in. He explained the quite expensive latte and tea menu. There are so many delicious choices! Any drink that you order can be made hot or cold. Bix gave me my order with a smile. I ordered the Butter Bear Latte which is a caramel and butterscotch latte. It's sweet, but not overly so. I have a sweet tooth so I'm not the best to determine the sweetness level. You can make the latte to order so they can put less or more of the syrups in it. I also ordered the sausage and cheese bagel sandwich on an asiago bagel with cream cheese on both sides of the bagel. It was delicious. I was pleased with my meal. The decor is bright and inviting. There's lively music playing, but not too loud. Biggby is a great place to work and/or meet up with friends. There's plenty of spaces to sit. I would definitely come back and try more of their delicious lattes. Check out the menu. There are so many great choices.

They give you a can, enough bread (The bread is great), some olives, and a little bit of lemon to cut the fish tang. If you want a nice cafe with some canned fish this is a great place. All positive parts of this review are about the canned fish. My mocha was standard fair. It was ok. Not something to come back for. The place is really loud on a Saturday morning. Not an easy place to talk or hear anything. My kids... this is where the review really is. My kids eat out at places like this a lot. Their opinion on avocado toast is very well informed. The bread they were given was soggy and gross. Not something that was acceptable. There was so much mayo on these that you could have put them on the gill and fried them. Really gross. It was all over the avocado too. They hated it. I hated it. My kids were so unhappy with this toast that they went to the counter to ask for new bread. This place was more than happy to charge for a new slice of bread. Will not come back. There are other, better places.
