I can see why the Coffee Emporium is so popular! They have a menu of drinks on the wall, and a syrup list by the cash register. I got a latte with blackberry and vanilla syrups. I ordered it extra sweet which was a good choice for me. It was good! I also got their chocolate chip caramel cookie and the coconut lime chicken curry. I enjoyed those as well. They have an upstairs area to sit inside, with a restroom, or there are tables outside to sit. I liked the homey vibe of the building. I think if, I remember correctly, there were stairs to enter the building. Not sure if there was a ramp anywhere. read more

My friend and I came on a Sunday afternoon and there was still a line out the door! The workers were friendly and we got through the line quickly. There doesn't appear to be any indoor seating but it was sunny out at the many tables outside. Street parking can be limited in the area as well. My drink and cake were delicious and I can see why this spot is popular! read more

Be careful where you park. They will call the police and you'll get a ticket. My wife says the coffee is good. I'll never go back but wonder who in their right mind gave them an occupancy permit with no designated parking and the upstairs full of tables. I guess it's time for a FOIA on their permitting. The 4 stars is from my wife's coffee experience. My opinion is significant different. read more

Convinced that coffee emporium has some of the best matcha in Cincinnati!! The atmosphere and vibe of this coffee shop is fantastic. They have indoor seating upstairs and beautiful outdoor seating if the weather is nice. My drink came out fairly quick and the baristas that I interacted with were very kind. Coffee emporium I believe is a Cincinnati stable and a must try!! read more

I don't get to come here often because it's not on my regular route anywhere. But on the occassions I can come, I get their brew hoo and a turkey deli sandwich. I'm not sure who makes the sandwiches, but they are FANTASTIC! I have gotten some chocolate bars from a local only maker, and my husband loves those. I am happy to spend a little more money to support a good, local only company. read more

One of my favorite places in cincy and favorite coffees ever! In such a beautiful neighborhood and a great outdoor space. The coconut cold brew has been my go to summer order for the last few years. It's really smooth and not bitter at all. read more

Staff were helpful in selecting a good coffee. The place was super busy and had a nice atmosphere for working on my laptop. Didn't notice that I stayed past the closing time and they were super nice about it! Parking can be difficult so just try down the street beside the building. Parking across the street is a hassle with all of the traffic. read more

My best weekends in Cincinnati often start with a quick trip to Coffee Emporium. My husband and I typically stop by the downtown location - but decided to mix things up and give the Hyde Park shop a visit instead! There's almost always a line out the door at this location - especially on weekend mornings. Such was the case last Saturday, but this team does their best to keep that line moving and grooving! I'm always tempted by the adorable mugs on display - and this trip was no exception. I feel they've stepped up their mug game even more recently ... which I didn't think was possible! I went with my usual "Toddy Jive," which is their signature cold brew, plus a little cream and vanilla. My husband decided to try their "Aztec Warrior," which is a latte with a kick of cayenne. Both were delightful, as always! Just the pick-me-up we needed before a long day of errands around town. We did have time to stop and sit for a while on their patio ... which seems like the place to be on a Saturday morning! We especially loved seeing how many people had brought their dogs out to enjoy the morning ... and the Coffee Emporium sign that welcomes dogs in all outdoor spaces. When the weather is actually sunny and nice, I highly recommend taking your coffee to-go and taking a walk in the nextdoor neighborhood to admire some beautiful homes. read more

Great place to work or hang out! There was a line out the door on a Friday morning so be willing to wait. The menu is extensive with several variations of lattes / cold brews. The Aztec Powerhouse latte recommended by the barista is a perfect blend of sweet and spicyyy. The upstairs space is pretty peaceful and has tons of natural light through the windows. The outdoor seating area is pretty large and would be great for warmer weather. Employees here are super friendly. Do check this place out if you're in the area! read more

I love the local coffee shop, walkable to many neighborhoods. This place is incredibly popular as there is always a line out the door, regardless of weather conditions outside. So most people love it. For me, I find it incredibly mediocre and underwhelming. Everything is simply "OK" to me. Coffee, breakfast burritos, lunch sandwiches. It's all just meh. read more

Cute coffee shop with outdoor space if you want to bring your dog and the weather cooperates (no dogs allowed indoors). Dirty chai latte was great, prices are about the same as other coffee shops. Good service. Clean bathrooms. Wifi really sucks outside, so don't expect to do much computer work if you plan to sit outside. read more

I dont know how I missed this review, but Coffee Emporium has been one of my favorite places in Cincinnati since before I even moved here over 8yrs ago. This location is in a charming older house in a beautiful part of Hyde Park. I was first directed here by a local during a visit to the city and loved the coffee and atmosphere. I have been coming back ever since! One of the big draws for me is their gorgeous outdoor space. There are various places you can post up and spend some time working or relaxing and taking in nature. Oh yeah by the way, the coffee is awesome too! On my most recent visits these guys were rocking the Covid safety by only allowing outside dining and a certain number of people inside to order at a time. They would then bring your drink outside when it was ready. They crafted me a delicious large iced bumble bee, which they do not usually do iced. The helpful staff member recommended it that way to me and it is my new go to drink! They of course have every drink you could think of, things to eat, and coffee beans to take home! This place is consistently a great experience and more recently, since ive been working from home, I come here every so often to get out of the house and do some remote work. Love it! read more

Very exciting being able to visit this local favorite while we were in town. I was really impressed with the quality of the coffee they had as well as the varieties of beans they had for sale. I was excited to learn that they roast their own beans as well! I don't have the name of the woman who I interacted with but she was SO KIND AND HELPFUL. She noticed I was looking at beans to purchase so she talked me through some of the various blends they had and even helped me make a selection. I was thinking about buying the Italian Roast and she warned me it was their darkest and offered me a sample of the Sumatra they had on hand that day since they didn't have the Italian. This was awesome because I was able to test to see if I wanted a darker roast than their Sumatra. I loved the Sumatra and ended up ordering a cup while I was their as I also picked up a pound of the Italian to bring home! Works great now that I'm home and have 12+ inches of snow keeping me inside. I ground up some beans and made an extra cup! Outside of having super helpful people there the place itself was just so nice and enjoyable. We sat outside in the cool air and sipped some coffee. It was a joy! Thank you Coffee Emporium and unknown Female employee #1 read more

Coffee emporium single handedly got me through grad school and I am forever indebted to their coffee gods. This place has it all, the charm, the aromas, the yummy treats, the smooth coffee, the friendly baristas. I could write a whole dissertation on this place. What would I do for a Klondike bar? No no, it's more like what would I do for a Java Jive. A lot, I would do a lot. I moved away after school and I think about a medium iced Java jive almost daily. Coffee emporium stuck by my side through it all and even through the pandemic! They are more reliable than any crusty old finance bro could ever be! I miss this place fondly and it's the first stop whenever I'm back in town. Keep up the good work, I'll be back soon read more

I used to be a lover of coffee emporium, I loved their brewhoos. The last few visits the service has been terrible and the coffee is undrinkable. If you want to throw your money away, this is the place for you. read more

I love the Hyde Park Coffee Emporium! It holds a special place in my heart, as this was one of the first coffee shops I ever checked out after moving to Cincinnati. It is located right off Erie Ave and only has street parking, so it can get a little crowded, especially on weekends. However, I've always been able to find a spot one way or another as it's located near a residential area too with plenty of street parking. The staff here is always very kind and welcoming. One of my favorite drinks to get is the milky way, as it combines peanut butter and mocha together which is DELICIOUS in an espresso drink. I normally will get one of their breakfast burritos as well on the side, or their chicken salad sandwich. Both are great! The Hyde Park Coffee Emporium is one of my favorite go-tos when I'm looking to get some work done. They have an upstairs with plenty of seating, and a lot of natural light from the big windows, as well as a cute little patio area outside that's a good spot to sit in during the summer. The wifi is always very fast and connects right away. I unfortunately have no pictures to attach with this review as I always drink my coffee too quickly before I can take one.. it's that good. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend stopping in for a coffee run! read more

They're a local business doing coffee and baked goods right. They're a long-standing institution in the area for good reason. The coffee is great and reasonably priced (on par or less than what you'd find in other places), the staff is super friendly, the building does get cramped but the shop is warm and homey. They have celiac and vegan friendly options for food and baked goods and a lot of seating both upstairs and outside. Parking can be a pain but that's a common issue anywhere anymore. If you're meeting friends or just want good coffee, this is the place to go read more

We were visiting the area and stopped to take pictures of the mushroom house and actually looking for coffee shop, boom 1 stop shop. It was definitely popular on a Saturday morning. They had a great selection of coffees,baked goods and sandwiches. Very inviting and friendly spot. Cozy seating upstairs and on a sunny morning outside tables. read more

It was like an escape! This quaint little shop on the corner is perfect for a morning brew or an afternoon pick me up. The upstairs is the perfect spot to pull out your laptop or cozy up with a good book while enjoying their many brews and baked treats. Stop in here any time for a fresh tea as well. Their assortment of loose leafs is one of the best selections I've seen. And don't even get me started on their baked goods: try a scone or a cookie and you'll be in heaven. This is one of my staple stops when I'm in town and I look forward to it every time. read more

Splendid coffee and great service! Always busy and parking can be tough to find but definitely worth the trip.

I met some friends here for a quick meet up one evening. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do wish I had come hungry! They had such a beautiful assortment of pastries (giant cookies, fresh cakes, cupcakes, crossaints) that all looked incredibly tempting. In addition, they served grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, etc for a healthier option. Plenty of seating too. There was abundant indoor seating upstairs, which would be great for studying since it's away from the hustle-bustle downstairs. We opted to sit outside, where there were also plenty of tables and was a great spot for people-watching on Erie Ave. You can bet I'll defintiely return again with a hunger for some sweets. Those Reese's Pieces cookies were calling my name. read more

So we finally made our way here. Such a cute coffee shope with some amazing employee's. I got a peppermint latte and my husband got an americano. Excellent to the last sip.

Loved the amount of outdoor seating available. Parking is an issue, and I had to drive around to find a spot on a Wednesday afternoon. The amount of tea options is amazing. Definitely be prepared to stand in line, but the wait is short. The amount of extras for tea and coffee merchandise options is nice for a cute gift. It's on the pricier side for the merchandise, but the food choices and coffee choices are average for a nice coffee Shop. It was clean, obviously popular, great location to walk to other stores in Hyde Park. It's in front of multimillion dollar homes, so I'm sure it's the place to walk to for a nice refreshment or morning coffee. I bought the strawberry matcha and some loose leaf tea. I watched them make the drink. It seemed like a strawberry syrup at the bottom, tons of milk or cream, and just a title bit of matcha. If you are sensitive to milk, not the drink for you. I would go back and try some of their amazing looking tea flavors though. read more

I had to come to Coffee Emporium twice during my stay in Cincinnati. It was a bit out of the way from the university but it was worth the drive! A local friend suggested this coffee shop. As one who has lived in San Francisco, coffee is very important. Parking: tough! Waiting in line: took a hot minute to get my order in. It was a long line but the baristas were professional & quick. COFFEE: delicious! I tried their seasonal drink and their breakfast burrito, which were both delicious! read more

I have a love/hate relationship with coffee emporium. The coffee is delicious. The location and setting is perfect for a neighborhood coffee shop. The staff is always super helpful. The upstairs is perfect for small meetings, studying, or doing work. The bad is the loooooong liiiines and inefficient set up. They've tried to improve it but it's always a cluster. Is it because of the ordering set up? Or the droves of young urban professionals in wonder of tge coffee emporium overwhelming cuteness/charm and coffee goodies. Probably a bit of both. I'm just bitter that it takes so long for me to get my large black cup of the nectar of the gods. I wish they would set up a fast track (like they use to have) or a punch card for us standard coffee drinkers. read more

Great coffee in Cincinnati! Love stopping by anytime I'm in the area. Highly recommend the brew hoo

Cute little joint in a quaint portion of Hyde Park. Plenty of shaded seating (closed now due to COVID-19). They have plenty of coffee drinks, espresso, drip and cold brew. They offer a lot of food too. I was impressed with their safety precautious now, 3 people in the store max, one way traffic, staff is wearing masks. Great job! Very clean and safe. They are right across from the famous Mushroom House, so have a visual feast and check this architectural gem while you're sipping on your latte. read more

I've been wanting to try Coffee Emporium for awhile. I've actually met people at the downtown location quite a bite but never actually tried anything from here. One Saturday morning, I made it a point to stop by. This location happened to be the closest to where I live. This location is super cute inside. They also have seating outside and I think an upstairs area. They have all kinds of goodies you can purchase as well as small bites. They also have a decent size drink menu. I love iced lattes and that's my go-to so that's what I ordered. I think I had a caramel and vanilla latte. It tasted pretty good and homemade. I struggle going to mom and pop coffee shops because I am so use to Starbucks lattes which tend to always be sweeter. However for a mom and pop shop, I was pleased. I certainly plan to come back and try other flavors. read more

I've lived just a few houses down from Coffee Emporium for years and let me tell you... it has THE best coffee, espresso, scones, pastries, and snacks I've ever had! Coffee Emporium is a coffee shop on the corner of Erie and Portsmouth Ave. in Hyde Park. This coffee shop was just recently renovated in the last year or so and is beautiful inside! The first floor is where your order and purchase your drinks and snacks and the second floor has seating as well as board games, chess, you name it! They also have plenty of outdoor seating & WIFI; people are always working here! Coffee Emporium has the most friendly staff who will remember your name every time you come in. They also have a rewards program, my family will get a free drink every few weeks! During this hard time of social distancing, Coffee Emporium has made safety their top priority. They are still open, although shortened hours until 4 P.M. Only 3 customers are allowed in at a time and they have a perfect system to ensure as many people can be served as possible! If you live in Cincy or are visiting, you have to try the Walnut Green Tea and add a little honey, it is my favorite. Also, the iced maple scone is probably the best baked treat I have ever tasted, no joke! read more
