    I've been wanting to try Cincy Cafe for a while now and so I was on my way to the airport late night and decided to stop by. They were open til 12am on the weekdays and I think that was for their Ramadan hours which was really nice. The service was great and the guy helping us was super sweet and patient while we were deciding on what to order. I ordered the iced Pistachio Latte which is a favorite of mine from Yemeni Coffee shops and this did not disappoint! I asked for extra pistachio bc I like mine on the sweeter side and it was just right. We also ordered the Adeni Chai hot and that was a bit on the stronger side but still very flavorful. I would definitely recommend trying this out and it's so nice that it is a walk away from campus because I will definitely be back!

    Loved this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building/area was cute, cafe had nice ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and staff were very friendly. I loved my chai and honeybee bread. Would definitely come back!

    Indoor seating, plenty of outlets

    I visited Cincy Cafe every day during my short trip to Cincinnati. I loved the adeni chai and yemeni style coffee. Island breeze smoothie was refreshing. They also sell pastries and dubai chocolate. I didn't get to try the pastries but they looked sooo good. I tried the dubai chocolate and it was pricey... but delish! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is also a great place to do work. Well-lit, clean seating area. Good wifi connection, lots of tables, outlets accessible from most (if not all) tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the staff is very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is one bathroom available. Clean and well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I'm so glad to find a new Yemeni coffee place in Cincinnati. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have wonderful desserts too. If you haven't tried Yemeni coffee, you need to check this place out. I will definitely be back every time I am in this area.

    Found this delight after not finding parking at 86... so glad I did! I didn't know features Turkish flavors so that was an added bonus! Cincy Latte was great (got mine without sweetener) and I had a tough time picking a treat. I went with the blueberry croissant- which they heated and it was good. BUT disclaimer- the pastries to the left of the register are from Costco (no shade, they're delicious). Next time I will be sure to pick something else - but not everything has labels so be prepared to point :) can't wait to go back and try the Yemeni Mofawer!

    I went there this morning for study for about an hour and a half. Ordered a Cincy Latte w/ oat milk. The Latte tasted great! There was special spice in it (ginger etc.), which was just suitable for such a rainy morning, making it even more impressive. The barista was very welcoming and friendly. He was always patient for every customer's questions. The wifi was fast and stable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful and aesthetic decorations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice spot for working and studying! In the morning there were fewer people, while there might be more in the afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I loved this coffee, even though I'm not sure which one I had. The young lady and gentleman were extremely helpful and set me up with a tasty brew. Definitley recommend! Added to the wall of coffee in our work truck!

    I came in here for the first time recently, and it was great. The island breeze smoothie was lush, with a yogurt base they used with the fruit that was really good. The pistachio milk cake was fire, almost like a tres leches. I love tres leches. The guy behind the counter was really nice too! I want to try their savory pastries next, they looked good. I will definitely be coming back here, sincerely a nice place.

    Fantastic coffee, a hidden gem if you're looking for a break from the same coffee in Cincinnati. Great flavor, nice pastries as well.

    I haven't been a regular visitor to Macaron Bar, but I can tell the quality has noticeably declined…read morerecently. The only reason this is a 3-star review is because the shop itself remains impeccably clean and the staff members are incredibly sweet and welcoming. However, the macarons themselves are missing the mark technically. In my recent batch, the sizing was highly inconsistent, and several shells were completely flat with barely any filling inside. More importantly, the texture was off--instead of having that signature delicate, crunchy outer shell with a soft, chewy interior, they were entirely soft and gooey. For a specialty shop, precision is key, and I really hope the kitchen can get back to their usual high standards. As who love macaron, I know macaron is flat, inconsistent in size, and lacks filling, it usually points to rushed production or issues with macaronage (the critical folding process of the batter). A soft, gooey shell instead of a crisp, delicate crust means they either skipped the necessary drying phase before baking, underbaked them, or over-matured them in a humid environment. Maybe it was rush due to the "Buy One Get One Free", however I wouldn't buy it if I know the quality would be like this, almost like I pick them out from the frozen aisle in random grocery store...

    Me and my boo had got like 3 macarons and 2 cookies from them. I don't know exactly which ones we…read moregot because it was a surprise bag but if I had to guess one was strawberry, one was salted caramel, and the other had to be like pistachio or something. The Macarons were so soft and had the perfect amount of flavor and balance to them. The two cookies i think were biscotti type of cookies and those were pretty soft and flavorful too. I didn't expect them to taste like that . Definitely will be back. The place was cute and they offer classes

    This was an amazing place for a Valentines date!! The food is very very good, and the portions are…read moremore than generous. We got 2 meals plus an appetizer and our total was $42. I feel that this price was definitely worth the food and the atmosphere. Service is very quick, they bring a large bottle of water to the table so you don't run out as quickly. There are only 4 tables in the restaurant, so try to make a reservation online. Also, there is so much cute stuff to buy! Sanrio, anime, kpop and more. There was also a Kdrama playing on the big tv! I can't wait to come back here :)

It's a small restaurant filled with cute toys, plushies, figures, etc available for purchase. Parking is street parking around campus and can be difficult to find. There are some neighborhood side streets that you can find and walk over. We got a few dishes to try and they were all fantastic! I really liked the Curry Laksa, Nasi Lemak, and the Hong Kong chicken was crispy and seasoned very well. They offer so many different dishes and options and they're all made well. Their prices are affordable and their portions are quite big. I recommend trying dishes from each category, you can't go wrong. We also got a couple bobas and I get my usual, durian milk tea. They're one of the only places I know that has this flavor option and they make it well. Overall, the quality of food is great and tastes delicious. Staff is super nice, kind, and patient. We took a little bit longer to order but our server was so nice. Our server recommended a few dishes and we got a couple and those were fantastic! I would recommend this place for a casual date, small group, authentic dishes, and delicious boba. Overall, a very comfy, warm, and welcoming place for delicious food and I recommend it.
