Deeper Roots is always a solid Cincinnati coffee choice. I love their Maple latte, and today I changed it up and got the lemon drop latte which was delicious! My only wish would be that they have an option for larger size copies. Besides, that no complaints. read more

"At Deeper Roots, coffee is more than a drink, it's the catalyst for connection," and you can truly feel that the moment you walk in. We visited their Oakley location, which was the perfect spot to stop by and grab a fun, well-crafted drink. Their story makes the experience even more meaningful, it all began with a group of friends building lasting relationships with coffee farmers in Santa María de Jesús, Guatemala. That partnership became the foundation of their journey, leading them to launch Deeper Roots as a roasting company dedicated to sharing exceptional coffee with their community and beyond. With multiple locations across Cincinnati serving their coffee, they're definitely a spot worth supporting and checking out! It was small inside so not sure if this location is the best to do work or lounge around but definitely good to stop by and grab coffee. read more

The coffee here was good, their roast was good and the flavors they added accentuated the bean taste. Wouldnt say its the best of all the spots, but it is a top 5 for sure read more

I love this place for many things! Ambiance is very comfortable and I'm hearing that they are going to change up the space soon and hopefully make it even more comfortable. Plenty of chairs and places to sit and enjoy coffee either by yourself or with others. Baristas are always super friendly and accommodating! You can tell it's high quality coffee here! They really do focus on the good stuff for sure! I have had both the honey bear as well as the matcha tea latte. They are always wonderful and make sure to get it for there for the glass and the awesome design on top! Parking nearby if you're not walking from the neighborhood. They have a lot that they share with other businesses. Jonah helped me and he was super friendly and you could tell he really enjoyed his work there! read more

I'm to find my go-to focus study spot for the next few months that I'll be studying for the MCAT, and tried deeper roots today since they are open on Sunday mornings! Weekend and weekday hours are great and super convenient. Parking is very easy and not stressful (free lot until 6pm). The seating was not super comfortable for extended sits, but the chairs had backs and good table-space, so not not horrible. Not a lot of natural lighting either. It was a bit dim, but not problematic. It was fairly noisy, but with headphones in it was a fine level. The music was chill (frank ocean vibe) and not too loud. They did have outlets, but only at some seats, and some were blocked with benches, so make sure your laptop is fully charged when you come. Wifi is great! No complaints there. It was a good temperature (not too cold :)) and the bathrooms were very nice with mints and feminine products. They also have a water filling station. I got the "coffee of the day" which was like normal coffee idk, and an iced honey bear latte which was fireeee. Prices are not bad either, so overall I'd give this place 4/5 stars! I'll definitely come back. read more

My husband and I dropped in this morning to grab some coffees and pastries. I requested my coffee to go and it was given to me in a cup by mistake which was totally fine. What wasn't fine was when I approached the female working behind the counter to let her know she picked up my coffee cup and poured it into a to go cup and rudely handed it back to me like she was annoyed instead of making me a fresh coffee in a to go cup like I had originally requested. read more

I'm always amazed by the diversity of coffee shops in Cincinnati. I made my first visit to Deeper Roots and boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The Oakley location is a little small but still a warm and inviting place - a few things of note - It is hard to find - not much in the way of signage and my gps directions placed me at Kitchen Social - I figured I'd go inside and check out the shops - but, the cafe has an outside entrance - after some effort I managed to find the cafe. The first thing I found was a warm welcome and the pastry case - the pastries were appetizing and freshly baked - always a plus! My coffee came out perfectly and quickly - amazing service and an even more satisfying experience! The only downside, which is not really a critique, is the difficulty of finding the entrance - free parking in a parking garage is a big plus! I tried the brewed coffee and a pour over just for comparison. Both coffees were equally delicious - I could taste the subtle notes of the coffee as described - very, very smooth. A great big thanks to the staff for making my first experience a success! read more

Stopped in here for a quick coffee break. They have a large parking lot next door so parking was easy. Seating indoors was challenging. There were many people on their laptops which is fine but it eliminated seating options because for example, one person was working seated in a 3-person couch. It's not a huge deal since we were only there to grab a quick drink. I ordered the honey bear latte with oat milk which was tasty. They had a couple different tea latte options which looked good too. read more

It was just ok. Minimalist experience. One coffee size. Zero branding on cup and a little surprise for a local spot which is why we wanted to check it out. Surprising. Minimal menu on coffee flavors and admittedly, it's a nice approach for flavors of the day. We love supporting local businesses this one was just ok. Purely subjective but our experience. read more

What a cute little spot near Norwood! Service was friendly and quick on a weekday. I have now tried a plain oat milk latte, the honey bear latte, and a GF zucchini muffin. All were delicious! The espresso in the latte is smooth, no burnt taste like some other shops. The honey bear latte was a true comfort drink! And the muffin wasn't dry and was flavorful and easy to eat. I definitely recommend stopping by and giving them a try! read more

Cute coffee shop. Got the honey bear latte and it was so sweet to the point I couldn't drink half of it. Husband got a vanilla latte that he said was okay. read more

I was so delighted to find Deeper Roots has Cayenne on hand so that I could have a spicy chai which I just discovered when visiting a coffee shop out of state. The ham and cheese croissant was the best I've had in the region. Check it out! read more

Came here for a quick coffee and to knock out some work. They have an array of different seating areas and it was relatively busy for it being late evening. Seems like a great spot for locals and the like to have consistent coffee. The coffee was hot and fresh. The service was friendly and prompt. The venue is decorated nicely and when you walk in you are greeted at the counter with a friendly hello. It is clean and well maintained. They also have free parking right outside! read more

I have always enjoyed Deeper Roots coffee. Since giving up drinking coffee, I hadn't been in in quite some time, but on a chilly day, I was walking through Oakley and needed a warm drink. I stopped into Deeper Roots and was excited to see that they had severalll non-coffee options and some hot tea lattes. I ordered a London Fog. The barista was excited to make it for me since they had just gotten in a new concentrate. She recommended I sweeten it with honey. Sadly this made the drink far sweeter than any London Fog I have ever had, so it took away from the experience a bit, but it was still tasty. I also appreciated the kindness and enthusiasm of the staff. I will definitely be back for a non-doff drink sometime! I will just know to politely decline the honey in my London Fog ;) read more

I'll be brief. I'm a snob when it comes to my coffee. Having suffered, blah weak or punch in the face drip hotel,coffee, when I've been on the road for a week and I get back home the first thing I do is make a pour over with my excellent coffee, no matter the time of day. No, I don't go to Starbucks (accepting emergencies). I like my coffee to be good not bitter. I seek out local shops that serve Java justice. This is an excellent, small and well orchestrated coffee shop. I've never seen a pour over machine like the ones they have and. The workers are knowledgeable and friendly. When I travel to Cincinnati, I will stay close to this location specifically to get my morning coffee here. read more

Just not a fan of there coffee. I felt the coffee is a little to bitter for my liking and also left an off taste in my mouth. They don't really have an array of specialty drinks. The inside is very narrow and won't accommodate a group. There service was decent. read more

Excellent coffee and pastries. I've been in town for a few days and Deeper Roots has been my goto coffee place. The coffee is excellent, barista's understand temperature and foam for my cappuccino. The ham and cheese croissant is exceptional too. My wife is happy with her coffee of the day. I will return when back in town. The staff could be a little more friendly, not grumpy; however, not warm which is what I prefer. read more

Great coffee and atmosphere. My wife and I come here often on Saturday mornings. The seasonal drinks are some of our favorites

Coffee is terrific. I most often order an espresso, which they delightfully serve with a sparkling water on the side. Sometimes I'll indulge in the signature Honey Bear (w/ skim milk). The scones are terrific. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint is the space. Location in Oakley is great, but the seating in the store is very limited. My church also has a standing order for coffee. Delivery of beans is always prompt and orders are correct. I prefer the South American single origin for drip coffee. read more

Deeper Roots Coffee - Honey bear - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Would not go back. Waited 40 minutes for a latte. You'd think basic customer service would be to let someone know this drink could take 20+ minutes instead of just saying "we'll have that right out". Latte was fine, definitely not worth 40 minutes. Would way rather wait in the coffee empo line at that point. read more

I had my very first latte here. First, the barista was extremely patient and kind. Helped me make a decision on which latte I might like best (as a beginner) and made it with great care. Plus they brought it to me at my table. It was so good! I went back and got the same latte - different barista but still very nice! They have very pleasant staff working there. read more

Deeper roots is definitely a cool little coffee shop to check out. The service was great and the atmosphere has good vibes, it just doesn't have tons of sitting space and seems to be more of a pop in for your coffee and pop out type of spot. I ordered an iced honeybee latte and it was delicious! I would absolutely pop back in on one of my on-the-go days. read more

I am a huge coffee snob who travels for work and Deeper Roots is (in my opinion) the best roaster in the US. I use their Alchemy blend at home almost exclusively for espresso and always have another bag of one of their fresh roasts for pour overs. The lattes and coffee from the stores never disappoints either. The employees always give good recommendations and make great drinks. Highly highly recommend! (Not tons of seating or parking at this location) read more

Definitely a smaller little coffeeshop but I was able to find seating!! I appreciate that they have a parking lot next door which makes it easy to get to! I will say I was not super impressed with my chai latte that I got sadly, I think the half cinnamon topping just was not my favorite but I will have to come again and try something else since I appreciated that because of the size it wasn't too busy or loud which is great for reading! read more

My go-to weekend coffee stop during my morning dog walks, especially when we have visitors staying at our house and we want to show off the cute little Oakley neighborhood. The coffee is always made well and tasting great! I also love that they have seasonal offerings. They also have great bakery treats, so I like to try something new each time. They start with a wide variety of bakery items when they open but once something is gone, it's gone - so I definitely recommend going earlier if you want a selection. I will continue supporting this great local coffee shop! read more

Visited on a Saturday morning before a workout and it was very busy! I opted for just a hot coffee with almond milk and received it very quickly which was great considering the large crowd. It was fresh, and did not have any burnt taste which I appreciated as sometimes at cafes with drip I have found the coffee to be burnt! I was not able to have any pastries due to food allergies, but my friend opted to have a croissant and it looked super flaky and fresh! She also had a cappuccino which looked delicious. This was my first time here, but I will definitely be back to sample more drinks from the menu read more

I'm giving Deeper Roots an extra star in this updated review. I've been to Deeper Roots twice in the past four days that I've been home for Thanksgiving Break. I hope it's saying something that I've frequented Deeper Roots so often, considering I'm coming Philadelphia, a city which is also known for its coffee. While I haven't had a pourover from Deeper Roots in a while, I want to update this review based on their lattes. The mocha I had today had a respectably symmetrical, striated latte art pattern today. There's only one coffee shop I've tried in Seattle that has done my latte art better. I couldn't take it for granted and snapped a photo of it, which I've attached to this review. After securing a lid on my cup of coffee, I tasted the drink, and I found myself closing my eyes to appreciate the supple foam. It was milky and airy and lovely. This mocha has a rich dark chocolate flavor. Any chocolate lover will love it. I have had very artificial tasting chocolate flavor before in a mocha, and it was so disappointing and unappetizing, so Deeper Roots' mocha is up there for me. My one minor gripe is that the chocolate flavor is stronger at the bottom, so next time, I'm going to swirl the drink around in the cup after visually enjoying the latte art and drinking off the foam. I had to drink my way through about a third of the drink to get the deep chocolate flavor. The top third of the drink tasted didn't taste bad, though--just milkier and less coffee-like, but this makes sense given how lattes are made. My last comment about the mocha I had today is that there was not a single ounce of bitterness in the espresso, which is very impressive. A lousy espresso-based drink will leave the rancid bitter flavor in your mouth. Not this. It's hard to achieve that, and Deeper Roots has. I can also expect my lattes to be the same quality almost every time, which is one of the most important features of a good coffee shop imo. I do not like to spend $5-6 on a drink, just to be disappointed, and I have not had that experience at Deeper Roots. Overall, Deeper Roots is quite the beast, and I'd say it would hold up in other bigger cities where there is more coffee shop competition. read more

Went to get my usual smooth, delicious decaf beans from here. Much to my excitement, I found low caffeine beans for that tiny kick I need without feeling shaky. On my way out, I ordered the Holy Moly; espresso with a lovely, low key layering of chocolate, cinnamon and cayenne. Even more smile-inducing, the pretty foam artwork on top. Oh happy day! read more

Smaller coffee shop packing tons of flavor with they fantastically roasted beans! They coffee is always fresh and delicious here

I've been coming to Deeper Roots for years and can't believe I've never written a review. This place is the real deal! I've tried almost everything on the menu and each item is better than the previous. My go-to is the honey bear latte because it's creamy, bold, and sweet. I also love the regular drip coffee and americanos. Deeper Roots is transparent about their passion for sustainability, which makes this a business I love to support. The prices are reasonable and I appreciate Deeper Roots commitment to the environment and coffee community. I'd absolutely recommend adding Deeper Roots to your coffee shop rotation! read more

I have to admit that I don't give Cincinnati any credit for food or I guess really anything... but I had a fantastic experience at Deeper Roots when I was in town for a visit. I'm used to leaning on Starbucks when I'm in Ohio for the convenience and I just didn't think the market could support quality, but I was very wrong. We started with a couple pour overs which is my usual. They were excellent. Expertly prepared and very high quality single origin beans. We were so happy we couldn't stop. We had eight of there specialty drinks before we left. Everything was excellent, interesting and delicious. We then spent the next two mornings looking for anything that could compare. From downtown to the east side to Newport we looked and found some good stuff but nothing close. The service was excellent. We were guided without pretense by a staff that was there to do a great job. Insightful recommendations and a super friendly attitude. I'll be back every time I'm in town. Thanks for doing such a good job. read more

Deeper Roots is pretty good. I happened to notice them while walking past their location on my way to the Spotted Goose. Apparently, they have been there for years and I never noticed them. I was running errands headed to an function and decided to stop by. I'm glad I did. The service was good and their pastries are good. I personally did not like the coffee drink I ordered but that's because my preference for coffee isn't super strong. My drink had a very very strong coffee flavor. I think if you are a heavy coffee drinker this place is for you. Considering I like certain coffee beverages that aren't super strong, the one I ordered wasn't for me. I ordered an Iced Cherry Cordial and a Raisin & Turmeric Pastry. The drink had such a strong coffee flavor that I literally took two sips and didn't drink the rest. It was just way to strong for my personal preference. The pastry was very good. The raisin with the slight hint of turmeric with other spices was amazing. The pastry dough was flakey and slightly tough to the pull/tear. You actually had to bite it and it had the perfect chew. I really enjoyed the pastry. I also thought the combination was different but it worked. Overall, Deeper Roots has amazing service and pastries. I was asking a lot of questions trying to figure out what I wanted and the two girls were very patient and answered all my questions. There was also a line forming outside and they were still patient. I really appreciated their patience and menu guidance. I should have told them I didn't like very strong but that was my fault. I was basing what I wanted on flavor and not strength of coffee in the drink. Next time I will order another drink. read more

Great people behind the counter and in the crowd. Ordered a cinnamon roll, crumb cake, and a couple of honey bear lattes. Good, better and best in that order. Everyone was on their game and they were friendly to boot. Definitely will make this a more regular stop. The honey bear latte is a winner, no doubt about it. It's on the good list. read more

I love deeper roots!! I never have a bad experience. I ordered the autumn latte today and it had a great blend of spices and a sweetness, it hit the spot. It's a great balance and it was a perfect pick-me-up! The baristas are so friendly and warm. I love it here and used to love coming here and doing work (pre-rona) but I can't wait for it to open back up! read more

Things one should look for in a coffee roaster. Single source beans. A focus on light to medium roasts. Direct relationships with the farms. Clear indication of bean varietals, process, and elevation. Rotating varieties to keep things interesting. Roast date marked on every bag. Deeper Roots have all of these. A clear winner and benefit to the Cincinnati community. Come get yer beans! read more

One of my all time coffee spots in Cincinnati. Beans I proudly ship to friends on the west coast as gifts from the Midwest. The Community blend is a nice and refined medium body that many like. My only wish is this place was larger but understand it gets crowded because it's a great coffee shop. A locals favorite for sure. The staff is great and knowledgeable. read more
