    a variety of pastries on display
    Sabrina K.

    I decided to give this place a try on my way to work one day. I got there around 9:30am and the pastries/baked goods options were a little limited. The items I liked were sold out. I will attempt to get there earlier next time! I ordered a hot vanilla chai latte with almond milk and a blueberry scone. The chai tasted a bit weak, but it wasn't bad and the scone was good! The staff was really friendly and following covid guidelines.

    Cozy seating and vibrant wall art make this space great!

    So happy to have found this cute little sandwich shop nearby! Nestled in the quaint town of St. Bernard, JuJu Beans sits right on Vine Street with its own convenient parking lot. This area of town has some great architecture and has been revitalized in recent years. JuJu Beans opened in 2015 and is a small family run business. The decor is SO CHARMING! Vibrant murals adorn the sunny walls and comfy, sheik couches and chairs welcome visitors to sit and talk for a while. There are lots of treasures to look at as you enjoy your coffee or sandwich. They have a selection of art prints, scarves, trinkets and other handmade items for purchase. But JuJu Beans Isn't just a pretty face. They offer a variety of coffees, lattes, smoothies, and other hot and cold beverages along with sandwiches and pastries. Sandwiches are HUGE and made to order but the pastries are resale from other local shops like Servatis. Whether you are looking for a quiet place to unwind with a latte, catch up with friends over lunch or grab a quick lunch to go, JuJu Beans is worth a stop in. They also cater and deliver to the surrounding area with a $10 minimum order!

    So excited to have a new coffee place in St. B's! Very cute little place, solid drinks, baked goods and lunches at very low prices, plenty of place to study, free wifi, free parking in St. Bernard. The owners came by our table several times to refill our coffee and check on us, and gave us some donuts on the house near closing time. The shop is pretty new, so I don't think they have a website yet, but it had a very nice ambiance, and I look forward to seeing how it grows. They also have artwork from local artists for sale, which is really neat. Also the store front is on Vine St, across from Chili Time, not on Phillips.

    Visited Ju Ju Beans Coffee on a Tuesday morning around 9am and found free public parking just a few steps up the sidewalk. They have creative coffee mug signage which makes it easy to locate. When I first walked in I was treated by three people working different stations. You'll first see the donut case, and I decided to grab a tigers tail. If the name sounds familiar, it's because they offer donuts from Buskens bakery. Took a few steps in to check out the menu board, which at the time was limited to drip coffee/tea, lattes and hot chocolate. Its possible I was looking at the specials but I didn't see another menu board. Decided on ordering a hazelnut latte. The flavor was okay. I would have preferred it to be more hot; but so didn't try it until after I left. Maybe if there is a next time, I'll try a cappuccino with less milk. There are some comfortable looking sofas and what's looks to be a family dinning table available for seating. Take your time and enjoy the cute and funny decor.

    Coffee drink menu... the homemade soups & sandwiches are just as tasty & budget friendly. Make sure you dont pass up this saint bernard gem

If you want something for breakfast other than a bakery item then this isn't the place for you but the bakery items I have tried have all been very tasty. The white chocolate raspberry muffin is my favorite. My son with a peanut allergy has never had an issue with the bakery items! The service also is sometimes hit or miss when I have been in there. Overall the staff all seems young (maybe high school or early college) and sometimes seem more worried about chatting with co workers than getting the customers served! They are always kind just seem distracted. Parking is overall pretty easy on the street because the lot next to the shop is very small! Not really a kid friendly place!

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!

Only thing is I wish they could make it gluten free. I got the Mira bowl in a kid size portion and had boiled eggs as an add on. Perfect portion!

Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.

It is loaded with pecans, sticky in the best way, and easily one of the best in the city. When they're on, they're really on. One thing I noticed was that the setup could use a little refinement. With both coffee and bakery items coming from the same counter, the line gets congested fast and the shop is quite small. A separate line for coffee and tea offerings - they have a bunch - and pastries would make the experience smoother and match the quality of what they're serving. They do offer vegan options, which I personally have no interest in, but just an fyi. Overall, they deliver excellent pastries and has the potential to be even better with a few small tweaks to the flow and menu variety. Still absolutely worth a visit, especially for that croissant and pecan roll.

When asked kindly, I would happily oblige as I was grateful to have a place open late enough for me to get my work done. Unfortunately, things have changed for the worse. Now, we were asked to leave if we didn't make another purchase despite the fact that we were not even done with our first drinks. As many other reviews have stated, we were berated by the worker about tipping because he told us he only makes $3 an hour. Having worked as a barista myself and knowing many others, I have never known a place to pay baristas (or bartenders) a server's wage rather than minimum wage. Even still, as of 2026 in Ohio the minimum server wage is $5.50. Most likely the worker was lying, but the owner Shawn Brooks should be ashamed of himself and investigated by the U.S. Department of Labor. Also, the worker added extra charges to our bill which is so slimey. For all the complaining about not being able to stay in business if people don't buy multiple items, you will not be able to stay in business if you scare all your customers away. I will never patronize this business again.
