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

Visited on a busy Saturday morning. The line was long but it moved forward very quickly. Staff was nice and within 3 minutes of ordering we had our drinks (drip coffee with oat milk and banana Forster latte) and out pastries (zucchini cherry chocolate bread and cinnamon roll). My latte (pictured) was delicious, the latte foam was perfect and coated in a dusting of cinnamon that enhanced the banana foster flavor perfectly. The zucchini bread was moist and the cherry/chocolate inclusions were a sweet compliment. The cinnamon roll was light and fluffy with a hint of citrus. We sat inside, the space is cozy and charming. Highly recommend. read more

I came on April 7th and they just started selling Horchata con Café. It has been the B E S T coffee drink by far in Cincinnati. I will be coming back before I leave tomorrow. The environment is soothing and comforting. If you work remotely, try this place. It's a secret gem in Cincinnati. read more

Deeper Roots Coffee - Lattes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Finally made it here! Every I'm around Kenwood on Sunday I look for "coffee nearby" and I don't why but I always do that when the shop is about to closed, so big accomplishment. Went on Sunday around 2 pm. The place is cozy and adorable. It's not too big but to me it feels spacious because of the set up. It all looks neat and clean. Plus, I love that they have a parking lot right next to it! We were created right away so friendly staff that's always a plus in small places. We ordered two cappuccinos with oat milk, on that note I was kind of sad there was no almond milk option, BUT the coffee tasted so incredibly good that I don't think I would ask for almond if that was an option. Really enjoyed the coffee, will deft be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Deeper Roots Coffee - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I am in love with this place! From the friendly barista to the well crafted drinks you truly can't go wrong with this cafe! Absolutely loved how quickly they were able to push out quality drinks and unlike a lot of places that shall remain nameless they don't make their signature lattes overpoweringly sweet. Can't wait to go back to try one of their botanical seltzer waters. read more

I had first heard of this place in Lexington, Kentucky! There's a cool coffee shop there called Lussi Brown that sells their stuff, so I definitely wanted to check this place out since I loved it there! Parking is amazing! There's a private lot for a bunch of the businesses on that strip just right next to it. Yay for free parking!! I came here on a Saturday at 12:15 with two friends and there weren't any tables yet. As soon as we ordered, some girls left their table so we quickly claimed it! They use a lot of types of furniture here. They got seating against the walls, interesting looking tables, high tables. The light fixtures were pretty cool! They were attached to red wiring which was a nice pop of color to the black and white theme they had going on. The space definitely isn't large. I didn't see a ton of people here on their computers. I saw people reading books or parents with kids, or older adults. It's a very classy ish looking shop. I ordered a maple cortada which had orange zest in it. I didn't expect it to be sweet but it was. Still really good and I would highly recommend it! I'm not usually up for fruity flavors in coffee unless it's raspberry but this was pretty stellar! My friends got a cappuccino and an oh hey latte. My friend thought the cappuccino wasn't very sweet, but the barista said that most of their drinks are sweet. She ended up switching with my friend for the latte. LOL. But she did like the place a lot! The latte had a caramel flavor and was made with goat's milk. She liked that it was strong and thought it was good! Awesome place! I'd come again!! read more

This was such a nice coffee shop. Very quaint inside. I got a specialty latte that was very tasty. I love the smell of a good coffee shop. Starbucks doesn't smell the same. I would've like a bigger drink (my friends was even smaller), but it was delicious. Next time I'll just get two. read more

Walked over from SleepyBee had a cold brew was pretty good. The staff was friendly and chatty. Nice vibe inside and places to sit.

The coffee is so good and I love how cute the shop is!! My go to drink is normally a Cortado

Great space to hangout and work! I came on a Friday morning and it was crowded but I was able to snag a table for a couple of hours. I love coffee served in a real mug whenever I work so major bonus points on that! I didn't try a baked good but a lot of people had muffins that looked amazing! read more

Deeper Roots Coffee - coffee of the day - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Deeper Roots is another place for hipsters to get coffee. It's one of the many locally owned coffee shops in the neighborhood. This is the popular area of Oakley. It has more of a focus on coffee. There's not as much effort on food I had the Kenyan coffee. It's about $3 for the regular size. The shop was busy so it took awhile, but it wasn't too long of a wait. It has a few tables in the back. There's more seating in the front. It has a few comfortable padded benches and chairs. The shop can get really crowded so it's sometimes better to take it to go. It's nice to have somewhere locally owned unlike the chains. It's not as phony of an atmosphere. The bad thing is it's popular so it's crowded inside. read more

Deeper Roots Coffee - Kenyan Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Best local cafe to get your coffee and baked goods! The coffee is always the best/high quality part and they make everything in house from scratch. They also carry their own selection of coffee beans to buy and they do their own roasting at DR. Their various cafes are all amazingly decorated, clean, and have a great ambiance if you what to sit and work, meet friends and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. The staff is always helpful, friendly and polite to all customers. Enjoy! read more

(Not pictured) is the most lovely latte I have ever sipped. The coffee beans have a deep and complex flavor, yet not burnt or harsh. The customer service is STELLAR - today the lovely Steph served us. Once again, tip huge people! They deserve it for slinging authentic delicious coffee in our beautiful city! read more

Deeper Roots Coffee - Server Steph being awesome! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Awesome coffee shop steps away from Findlay Market! There are so many custom drink options. In a group of 5 we only got normal 1 latte. For the exciting drinks we ordered the Winterberry, Honeybear, Peppermint Mocha, and Ginger Spice latte. Having tried all of them, and all being fantastic my favorite was the Ginger Spice which tasted just like a speculoos cookie, yum! I dislike overly sweet drinks (ahem giant coffee corporation with the mermaid logo) and found Deeper Roots to be the perfect amount of sweetness. Deeper Roots also freshly ground each espresso drink. The quality of the coffee beans is top tier, they are fresh, fruity, chocolatey, and not acidic at all. The aroma of coffee was not overpowering and I could see myself working from the location once indoor seating is reopened. Covid protocol allows for 4 people at a time to wait inside. We had a group of 5 so we waited outside until there was room to order. The barista was wearing a mask and gloves so we felt comfortable with the safety measures in place. Would come here again. read more

This is a great coffee shop in a great location. Parents, if you're taking your kids next door to Blue Manatee (which btw you totally should) make a point to stop by here and grab yourself a great coffee treat. The decor in here is really beautiful and makes the place very inviting. The tiny clipboards were aparently made by using the 3D printer at the Cincinnati Library. Who knew!?!? There is also a lot more seating than it appears from the outside. Also, it must be said that the wallpaper here is super cute! They offer many coffee options iced and hot as well as pour over options. The staff was really great at making recommendations and they suggested the honey cinnamon iced latte when I told them my likes and dislikes and they were spot on! Great coffee shop, will return! read more

Stopped at Deeper Roots Coffee on a Sunday morning before yoga. What a great start to a day that actually turned into my Self-care Sunday. I ordered a cappuccino and croissant and dined in while wasting some time until it was time for the next stop. The order was made quickly and on the fly. The seating ranges from small two seater tables, side by side lounge stairs and larger high seating tables for groups. Walking in during a busy time may be a little overwhelming thinking it'll be too long to wait, but it's probably less busy than it looks. When you walk in, your walking right into the counter with the expresso machine. A line of three or four could make for a line to the door, but there is plenty of room and ordering is simple. Decided to grab a bag of in house roasted Sumatra beans for home. Now I'm enjoying cold brew and hot French pressed Deeper Roots coffee at home. read more

Deeper Roots Coffee - Entrance and a Honey Bee Latte w/ Croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Every time I come to Oakley I make sure to stop and get coffee from Deeper Roots. My only complaint is that I wish they sold larger sizes. My husband and I have seriously debated getting two drinks each when we've come here in the past. Baristas are knowledgeable and friendly and they are taking COVID precautions seriously throughout this pandemic. If you haven't been here and enjoy legit, well-brewed coffee - it's a must!!! read more

Got a skim latte, dumped half on my car seat. :( Got their almond croissant and it was DIVINE! didn't want to share it with the husband, even though he paid. LOL Convenient to our work places, so that's a BIG plus. read more

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

I met a friend here on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm to work on a project for school. I had read a lot of reviews for this place and knew it might be difficult to find a table, but it was a good halfway meeting spot for me and my friend, and I have had Deeper Roots bookmarked for a long time, so we took a chance. When we arrived, there were no tables available, but a girl sitting by herself at a four-person high-top table invited us to sit with her, stating she would be heading out shortly. Perfect! We claimed our spots and went to grab drinks. When I got to the register, I asked about their options for substitutes to dairy milk. They not only have the now-standard almond milk, but they also had a macadamia nut milk option. SCORE. So I ordered a chai tea latte with the macadamia. My friend ordered a hot chocolate. When we sat down and took our first drinks, we were both so impressed. So many places cannot do hot chocolate or chai lattes well, and both were DELICIOUS. The atmosphere of this place is great, and the employees were so patient, friendly and helpful. Prices were right where you'd expect them to be, and for the quality of what you get, I would say they're spot on. I'd absolutely come back and take a chance on their limited seating again, it's so worth it!! read more

Deeper Roots is the definition of "Yay! I'm a fan!" to me. Although I wanted the experience to be a 5-star, I'm just not sure if I can aim that high. Nevertheless, I enjoyed Deeper Roots! Location is prime -- in the heart of Oakley with a huge sign on the side (and next to a parking lot! Nice!), you can't miss it! The ambiance inside was great. If I was staying to do work instead of just grabbing a cup to go, I would have really enjoyed it. Modern, but a nice touch of old school. Cool vibe going for them! Staff pretty friendly, and I loved how they were locally owned. The coffee was okay -- I've had better, had worse. You can't really go wrong with an iced latte! I tried the lavender. My friend tried the vanilla. Out of the two, I would recommend the vanilla, but both are good! Overall, decent: I'm a fan! For the area, it's a great coffee shop! Glad I stopped by and will more likely than not return to get some work done, but I wouldn't call this my go-to location. read more

I came here for the first time this past weekend and I really enjoyed it! Obviously it is one of the most well-known coffee shops in the Cincy-area and it is definitely for a reason. Fair warning - there is not a lot of seating at all. Like maybe 15-20 people can sit in the entire store. Luckily, a lot of people were getting their orders to-go so it wasn't a super big deal for me but I wouldn't necessarily pop in here during the work day with the expectation to grab a table. But if you can find a seat, the aesthetic is so beautiful - very minimalistic and chic. The coffee is on the stronger side, which I enjoyed. I got an oat milk latte and it was definitely stronger on the espresso side versus the milk side so this is a great place to go if you enjoy the taste of coffee! It is a little bit out of the way for me, but I did really enjoy it and would love to come back. read more

I can walk here from home, but I must admit that I don't do it enough! When I do make it in, it's always delicious. The coffee never disappoints. They have any coffee drink you could ask for, and they are friendly and quick. They have delicious pastries as well. Check them out! read more

Delicious vanilla latte - 10/10 would recommend. I cannot wait to relax in the outdoor area behind the shop with another latte once quarantine is over. read more

Man I really loved this place! I think I had the peaberry tanzania one? But the outside seating was really beautiful and well-spaced out. I liked the smell and the merch was pretty. read more

This wasn't my first tango with Deeper Roots, but it was the first time I had visited this location. Upon arriving, I found out they have a parking lot, which is a huge help if you're coming here to get some work done for a bit (there's nothing worse than feeding a meter). There was limited seating inside, so may sure you arrive early if you want to snag a table. I ordered an iced coffee (I noticed that they had nitro cold-brew as well, but I'm a little sensitive to caffeine). The iced coffee was great and gave me lots of caffeine-induced energy to keep me going. I also tried one of the biscuits, it was buttery and delicious. The staff was super friendly and while the coffee shop was consistently busy, they kept the line flowing. I'll be back when I need to get some caffeine and I'm in the area. read more

Sumatra pour over and Guatemala on brew ...5 stars. Great location, fastest pour over (their technique is solid, I usually don't do pour overs as I prefer my coffee hotttt). Chill atmosphere. Love visiting local only. read more

Excellent selection of unique drinks (cherry cordial iced coffee, honey bear latte) that taste every bit as good as they sound! Very cute cafe atmosphere with friendly and efficient staff. Will be back! read more

I had been meaning to come here for the longest time, and I'm glad I finally did. There's a parking lot so you don't have to worry about spot hunting unlike other coffee shops. Deeper Roots is also in a good area, close to many shops and restaurants. The interior decision is nice, but nothing homey or elegant that I've seen at other shops (if the coffee is good who cares, right?). My biggest gripe is that there is a relative lack of seating given the size of the shop. I had come here before to study but didn't stay because there weren't any tables available mid-day on a weekday. Today I came in early and didn't have that problem. I had a latte, an Ethiopian Chemex coffee, and fancy avocado toast I forgot the name of. All were delicious, which I commend Deeper Roots on. The Ethiopian coffee, had wonderful berry accent. Overall, I'm a fan. Seating has been an issue for me here, but mostly because it gets crowded (not unreasonably so) at times. The experience didn't blow me away but I enjoyed coming here. read more

Best coffee in Cincinnati. Each location is staffed with the best people. I'm not your typical OTR hipster coffee snob but they still accept me. To be honest I think they like me more than them. It's a place where you'll feel proud of tipping the baristas 25%. I wish they had a rewards system though cause I would be a millionaire. read more

The outside wall was cool and inside was nice, great selection of coffee beans, and we realized that there's a coffee shop which carries deeper roots in red river gorge. It was nice surprise. The ice cafe mocha was good. Their sweets looked so good. read more

Had a quick business meeting here as it was convenient and the other party had been here in the past. I must start by saying I don't drink coffee so I was a bit anxious I'd find something I wanted. But my eyes found a list of teas available and specifically a lime ginger one. I love most things with ginger. It was served with a large cup and the tea in a French press type vessel. It was excellent. Parking lot is free and right next door. The space is small so it can get crowded but this is a must try for coffee fans. read more

Amazing coffee. Service is always amazing and they have the best baked goods. Can't recommend this place enough.

Ordered lavender coffee. It wAs great but the staff was not nice and friendly. Would love to swing by again for the taste of coffee but not sure if the lady is still there.. read more

This is a fantastic coffee shop and great addition to Oakley. Deeper Roots kept it simple by not offering too many options. The standard coffee options such as ready-to-go coffee, pour over, and espresso drinks (cappuccino, latte, etc.) are all available. The offering that I am very happy to see so close to home is the cold nitro coffee on tap. I drank a glass of it the other day and it was delicious; it's the perfect warm weather coffee. They also have a few specialty drinks and some tea offerings. There are bags of coffee beans for sale if you want to make some coffee for yourself at home. There is also a small refrigerator case with some bottled beverages. The food options are also few but delicious. The best part is the simple sounding but absolutely delicious toast and jam. When I stopped in there were two options for bread, whole grain sourdough or eleven grain, and two options for spreads, lemon rosemary pink peppercorn marmalade or strawberry ginger balsamic jam. There was also fresh ricotta to spread between the bread and jam. The concept might sound simple but really good fresh bread combined with some of the most flavorful marmalade I have ever tried is a winning combination. Croissants and cookies are also available. The front space of the café is open and bright with lots of light. There are high-top tables providing enough seating for a decent number of people. There is also a small space towards the back that has a few small tables and some chairs and benches. There was also a bench on the sidewalk out front. Service has been very friendly and made me feel welcome. I will definitely return for coffee beans, cold nitro coffee, and some delicious toast and jam. read more

Just re read my first review and holy cow, I needed to update. No worries, Deeper Roots is still 5-star (6-star????) worthy, but now that I stop here at least once a week, I felt as if I needed a longer explanation. I have had almost every type of coffee drink on the menu--latte, cappuccino, espresso, espresso macchiato, pour over, Nitro (!!!), and just black coffee. Everything--and I mean everything, every time--has been outstanding. Every barista is extremely friendly and helpful. The service is prompt. These are just some of the infinite reasons I continue and will continue to come back! read more

Welcome addition to the Oakley neighborhood. I first tried Deeper Roots Coffee where I work, where they provide our monthly coffee delivery and we recently had a morning event where I needed 5 gallons for this event. The team was extremely friendly, had the coffee ready when I arrived, placed in my car & provided towels so the coffee container wouldn't leak in my car. Thanks Deeper Roots team! read more
