    Caf- Latte
    Jenna D.

    This coffee shop was a short walk from our hotel so I ventured out for an early latte. On a Tuesday morning around 9, there was one person working and quite a line. They were polite and kept it moving as best they could. My caramel latte was okay. Interior decor is kitschy and welcoming to all. I liked the space more than the drink.

    Cozy and cool coffee bar has all the caffeinated classic drinks and new drinks flavors. They were well staffed and friendly. Our drinks took a min to make but they gave my muffin at the register. They have plenty of sitting in the back. Our drinks are were delicious and my muffin hit the spot.

    A neighborhood feeling type coffee place. I walked here from our hotel (lytle park) it took about 15 min. They had a patio with two to three tables and an umbrella in case you don't want to be in the sun. Alternative milks were an extra dollar. Staff was alright not over-ally friendly but more subdued. I noticed they have alcohol too so the scene may be a different vibe later at night.

    Lola's is sick!! We just checked out Lola's for a midday coffee pick-me-up, and besides the large array of available coffee options, there was also a whole bar with different draft beers, plenty of seating, and the whole restaurant had some cool, inviting, and relaxing vibes! I ended up getting a sugar free vanilla latte, as well as a French toast latte, and both were spectacular definitely recommend Lola's

    Stopped in to start my day with a cuppa Jo before venturing out in town. Ordered a scone and a cafe mocha. Saw pastries advertised and asked what they recommend, they said everything. So I went with the scone. It was warmed up and bagged for my to-go order. As I waited at the pick-up area for my mocha, I realized they serve beer in here also! Pretty neat place had cozy seating areas within. Very farmhouse feel. Located close to the baseball stadium and the hotel we were staying. Scone was bland and mocha seemed watered down. But I am from out of town and perhaps comparing to what I am used to may be unfair as to compare with other coffee spots within the local area. Starbucks coffee is across from my hotel and it was nothing different from the Starbucks I am used to where I'm from.

    Wow, Lola's is AMAZING!! We tried several coffee spots in Cincy and this one was the best by far. We got iced coffee, iced matchas, gluten free banana bread, and a breakfast bagel. All of it was fabulous. The barista was friendly, and the decor in this cute little place was so cozy and fun! We ended up getting stickers and a t-shirt too because we just loved this spot so much. The building is brick with a garage door entrance and there is indoor as well as outdoor seating. Another thing that stood out to me was that the other customers were friendly too! We met a guy and his dog, Cashus, as we were walking in and it just gave small-town-friendly vibes in the middle of a big city. Love!

    It's hard for coffee shops to stand out in this overcaffeinated society. Lola's knows how to serve strong, hot lattes, and they do it extremely well. An impression was made. Congratulations Lola... you are officially A Real One. Easily 5 Stars.

    Excellent, unassuming coffee shop near the stadiums downtown. There are a few seats outside for when the weather is nice, and booths, bar counter, and armchairs inside. There are packages snacks to buy as well as a selection of baked goods. We had a blueberry scone and spinach croissant, both of which were excellent. The medium roast brew was good, as was the flat white. There were books and board games in a small bookshelf for general use, and a TV in the corner playing cartoons. We loved our cozy coffee break here!

    Really nice person (I don't know how they identify, but they appeared to be an AAF.) Anyway, very kind person. The other shorter person wasn't so interested in being kind but that's OK because I didn't have to interact with them much. I wasn't a big fan of the coffee, it had a very chemical taste. I wouldn't go back.

    Almond Nutella Croissant

    My boyfriend and I had the plan to grab some coffee to begin our day yesterday. Rather than stop into Starbucks which we get all the time, we wanted to try somewhere local, being from out of town. The ambiance is hipster and trendy. It's super cute inside. The line was long and moved a bit slowly, but we had time. When we got to the counter, we were greeted by two workers. They seemed to have their hands full but they were friendly and moving at a fast pace. I ended up ordering the seasonal Desert Rose (cayenne, rose, dark chocolate) as a hot latte with oat milk. I absolutely loved it! That kick of spice went perfectly with the dark chocolate and rose flavors. I also got an Almond Nutella Croissant, which was flaky and yummy! Surprisingly, it wasn't super sweet. I think it had some cream cheese mixed with the Nutella inside to cut the sweetness of the Nutella down. My boyfriend got an espresso which hit the spot, and shared the croissant with me! We really enjoyed everything. Thank you!

    Exquisite coffee , even better service . Seating options are exceptional paired with a stellar barista in the name of Jordan ! Makes your stop in worth while every time .

    I really liked this coffee shop (plus bar!) in downtown Cincy! It has a cool, relaxing vibe and has friendly staff to help get what you need. I stopped by one morning before an event I was attending started. Because this was one of the places that was open early on a weekend, I was able to grab a coffee drink and a few pastries to enjoy that morning (and as snack later during the day). Through conversations that the staff had with customers, it was clear this place is well loved by the neighbors and community. The staff and customers even know each other on a name basis! Overall, great cafe with good, friendly vibe! Good coffee+pastries for morning eats, too!

    Service was rotten. Very snotty and unfriendly. One word answers. Croissants were bland. Skip this till they replace the dufus barista.

I don't love the cocktail bars with aloof service that seem to think ignoring you is excellent customer service. The happy hour slaps - the prices are actually really good and it goes until 7pm. My bestie is obsessed with their low price on La Marca. I have tried several of their daiquiris and cocktails and haven't found a loser yet. They don't have food but that just means they are pet-friendly. There is plenty of food in the area (for pete's sake, OTR Kroger is across the street). I wouldn't mind some snack availability but it's fine. I love the Key West/Hemingway-inspired decor. You'll be comfortable no matter how dressed up or dressed down you are. I love when the weather allows for the big windows to be open. The patio is great people watching. There is also several parking options nearby. The meters on Court St, a pay lot on the next block, or if you spend at least $15 at Kroger, you can get three hours of free parking. And that's the perfect amount to spend on snacks! Check out Pilar if you're looking for a laid-back vibe and decor but top-shelf service and cocktail options. Don't forget your dog!

    I came out in December for their Miracle pop-up in 2025…read more As someone who has gone to a ton of holiday cocktail bars and pop-ups over the last 10 years, Overlook Lodge's is probably the best I've ever been to. Be aware it will be FAST. Look at the order ahead of time if you're a picky eater/drinker. They run your appointment like clockwork, and you'll be in-and-out, gulping down cocktails, through the entire experience. Your two drinks are included (this year, anyway), and I'd honestly be surprised if you managed to have time for a third. Time zips by fast. That being said, because they do it this way, you essentially have constant service, there's "events" that happen at the end of your reservation time, (I don't want to spoil it, but cover your drink!), and then they kick you out. Service was friendly, though, and I saw the server make time to take group photos for all of the tables (including ours) with someone at the table's camera. (No bullshit "group photo" upsells here) It's kinda loud, though, and I wouldn't recommend this as a chill meet-up-and-socialize spot. (If you wanna talk, they have an addendum, Christmas-themed laid-back bar next door.) It's more of a "get blasted in the face by Christmas for an hour and then leave" experience. It's pretty loud, and talking can be a bit difficult over the music and constant interruptions (more drinks? Photos? Cute Christmas video montage?) But this works in its favor as it feels the most Christmas, over-the-top, and seasonal out of all the holiday bars I've ever been to. It also keeps it from feeling too crowded as reservations are required, so you for-sure have a seat and you don't have to stand forever in line to wait for drinks. I'd probably guesstimate that bar staff is making all of their seasonal drinks, constantly, and servers just pick one up to deliver. With the capacity in here, it would make sense. No idea what the bar is like the rest of the year; this is just a review for the Miracle pop-up which, again, is probably the best I've been to in the Midwest. Cincinnati, you're spoiled down here. (Sidenote, I was absolutely taken aback by their TV presentation on the wall. It's hard to describe, but it isn't just a projector showing a giant rectangle. It's specifically slotted into the holes in-between holiday decorations. Staff told me that had to hire special technicians to get it to show up that way and that's seriously a level of detail I am so amazed by.)
