The summer menu was still available, so I ordered the blueberry cobbler latte. The syrup was a beautiful purple color! It added just a hint of blueberry flavor to the drink but was not too sweet. Coffee was pretty good - fairly smooth without an overpowering bitter taste, so a thumbs up from me.

Hidden Gem!!! Literally…read more So, your GPS/Waze will get you there but your eyes and brain will be lost. This is because it is literally inside the HighGrain Brentwood BrewPub. Once you've found HighGrain, park in the parking lot and go inside. You walk in and La Terza is immediately on your left. When you walk in, you can go up to the counter and check out the menu. Just hit the little doorbell on the counter if nobody is there when you arrive. They'll show up quickly. You'll also likely notice the coffee's that they currently have "on tap", if you will. They put the bags out front so you know what you're ordering. You can choose from one of their straight up cups of coffee to espresso or latte's, iced or hot. During this visit I selected a small black coffee and an iced vanilla latte. The black coffee was a Costa Rica bean that was bold and robust with flavor. I really enjoyed this. The vanilla latte was not sweet at all. So, if you're looking for something a little sweeter, I'd ask for it to be sweetened or possibly go with the caramel latte, as that was a little sweeter. They do roast their beans on-site. I was going to take a walk over there but the door was closed once I got my coffee order. I did buy a bag of their whole Peru sourced beans that I'm very much looking forward to grinding up and French pressing to perfection. Combined with HighGrain, there is a lot of space to sit and enjoy your coffee. They have a small bakery cabinet to check out and order from as well. I can only assume that the coffee shop and brewery work together, so you may be able to order food from HighGrain and have your coffee too. Would I go back? 100%. I'm looking forward to trying the beans that I purchased. If they're as good as the coffee that I had in-store, La Terza will be on my list of local places to get my beans from.

They did not have too much of a selection but they do carry Cincinnati small bussiness. I got the blueberry hibiscus tea and it was alright, nothing special. My boyfriend got a dirty chi that was pretty good. There is not too much seating since students like to come and study. There were a few seats outside which is nice on a warm sunny day. Only street parking.

The lattes are made with no artificial sweeteners and true latte formula by weighed grams etc not thrown in guess work. I come here about 2-3x a week it's my favorite spot! Must try!!!

This festival in it's first year went very well and I cannot wait to see how it grows and develops…read more We knew this would be popular so we arrived early (parked across the street at the Washington Park garage). Since we were one of the first 1000 attendees that day we received a swag bag that had some coupons and goodies including some stickers and fair trade lip balm. Cool! The coffee selection was diverse and very good. We had never heard of a few of the coffee vendors so it was great trying their coffee and meeting the friendly faces of the owners. There were a few non-coffee business and it was fun tasting their products too. I highly recommend getting a bottle or four of this stuff called beer syrup http://www.thebeersyrupcompany.com/ It will be great on so many things you eat. The latte art throwdown was a cool way for baristas to show off their amazing talent of pouring milk into creative designs. There was a small tv that showed the close up work but most people farther back would not benefit from this. (next year a projector would be great) Like many first festivals in the city, there were some hiccups along the way, but I hope that the producers review the event and correct anything for next year. I could easily see this branching out to include a stronger tea and food/dessert presence. So the negatives: crowded... the Music Hal ballroom is a great place but at most events I've attended here (Crafty Supermarket, Holiday Market), it always seems to clog up in the aisles and people that bring strollers do not help the situation. This event will probably move to the convention center and this will definitely alleviate most of the crowding. Lack of garbage cans. During this event, one samples numerous small cup samples of coffee or tea and then one had to hunt for a can to place the cup. Oh well... So, I hope this event becomes a yearly thing and look forward to attending.

This year's Cincinnati Coffee Festival was hosted at the Duke convention center downtown. Its…read moregrand ballroom turned out to be the perfect sized venue for the festival as it grows year over year. The quality of vendors was top notch. Of course, you will see plenty of light roasts, natural Ethiopians, single origins, etc. But even if you're not obsessed with coffee, there's something for everyone here. A variety of vendors represented related spaces besides coffee as well. For example, tea, chocolate bars, baked goods, drinking chocolate, handmade ceramic goods, etc. A few of my coffee favorites were Tinker Coffee, Yield Coffee Roasters, and Utopian Coffee. But even if Kalita Waves and Chemexes are not your thing, there were blends and darker roasts too. Savorista offered a specialty coffee quality decaf coffee. I haven't seen that before, and it feels like they're onto something. It's kind of analogous to the current bar trend of low-proof / no-proof cocktails. There were interesting options on the coffee alternatives side as well. Saku Tea creates turmeric, matcha, beet, etc mixes that you prepare like matcha with a bowl and whisk. Cup of Coa produces high quality cocoa-based drinks that are hot, cold, or frozen. From "bigger" companies, both Rishi and Natalie's brought new and experimental products. Rishi Tea offered a mushroom "tea" mix. Natalie's Juice sampled cold pressed juice cocktails as good as their orange juice. I also enjoyed the demo section where a couple of baristas from Rohs in Clifton were making and teaching people about (traditional) macchiatos... optionally with glitter on top. The event is well organized, vendors are great, and the ticket price ($15) is very reasonable. I will definitely come back next year.

It's some of the best coffee I've had in a long time. So rich and aromatic! Definitely wakes you up and gets you going. Also, the ordering process was super easy and the coffee arrived fast. I'll keep ordering it in the future. It's a little pricier than a typical bag at the grocery store, but worth it!

In top of an incredible product the customer service is top notch! I have been there a few times and had a few questions and a gentlemen with an epic mustache was able to help me twice with great answers and pulled bags for me that I didn't order ahead of time. They pulled bagged and ground it in front of me saving my home grinder from being covered in Highlander grog for weeks. I also spoke to one of the founders sons who now runs the place. He took 30 minutes out of his day to answer some questions for me when I am just a random guy. This place has amazing coffee and a passionate and knowledgeable staff! Honestly if there is something negative to say I can't find it. 11/10 will always buy again!

Traveling east from Indianapolis to Akron, Ohio, I called Boston Stoker and asked if I could get a tour and the person on the line went out of her way to make some calls to make a visit possible for me. The employee who showed me around the roastery took a personal interest in getting to know me and my love for coffee and tailored the tour to my interests and level of knowledge. He didn't seemed rushed and was genuinely interested in sharing with me about Boston Stoker, like their history and what they have been doing in the specialty coffee world. To top off the visit with a wonderful display of souther hospitality he brewed me a pour over of a favorite coffee the team was drinking at the time and sent me off with a bunch of sweet stickers.

There have been other patrons there every time I've went but the service is fairly quick. I don't think their coffee is my favorite but I use it as a vehicle for my flavoring anyway so it's okay lol
