Inside

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!

adeni chai, honeycomb bread, pistachio latte

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

Pastry case

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!

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! 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. And the staff is very nice. There is one bathroom available. Clean and well maintained.

I'm so glad to find a new Yemeni coffee place in Cincinnati. This place is great. 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.

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. Beautiful and aesthetic decorations. A nice spot for working and studying! In the morning there were fewer people, while there might be more in the afternoon.

This place is amazing!! I'd never had Yemeni style coffee before, but it is fantastic. The atmosphere is lovely and the people working are beyond friendly. Highly recommend.

Amazing Yemeni cafe with great food and ambiance! I adore their Arabic baked goods and they have Turkish and Yemeni coffee as well as the familiar Western cafe staples. A great study location or lunch spot by UC!

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!

Pistachio milk cake with an Island Breeze smoothie :)
Ray B.

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.

Had the privilege of spending a very lovely morning here! I was just planning on killing a little…read moretime, maybe getting a light drink, but this place has a special type of charm that really invites you in. I'm not big on coffee shop beverages, but their food menu really sparked my curiosity. They had some bao bun variations on special that I absolutely needed to try. They asked that I find a seat while they prepared the food. I loved each of them so much, they were all very different from each other, but so beautifully and thoughtfully crafted. As I waited for the food, I got to soak up the ambiance, which was just as memorable and wonderful as the food. I loved the different vibes of each floor: all tranquil but still distinct. I got to people watch a couple on their first date, a father and son reunion, and a setup for a tea party. All in an enchanting atmosphere as I enjoyed my bao! Definitely try this place if you are in the area! You are sure to fall in love as I did.

The whole aesthetic is calm, intentional, and absolutely Instagram-worthy (but in the best, most authentic way). I ordered a pot of their loose-leaf Parvati's Happiness and got to enjoy it with a tea pet! Such a fun and meditative experience; watching the tea pour over the tiny ceramic figure felt both playful and peaceful. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the craft of tea; they walk you through the ritual without being pretentious. Food-wise, the miso sesame vegan bagel sandwich blew me away. The cashew chili oil cream cheese was next-level; creamy, a little spicy, and perfectly balanced with the nutty miso sesame flavor. It's one of those dishes that makes you forget it's vegan because it's just that satisfying. Customer service was wonderful too; friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. If you're into mindful tea experiences, beautiful spaces, and creative plant-based food, this spot is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back and try more!
