Big boy when you open the door you're greeted by a waft of great smelling brunch food like maple syrup and pancakes. There's no one to greet you, no signage to seat yourself or wait to be seated but if you want to get out of line (don't!) to ask the barista who, even clearly busy, was accommodating to let you know to just get in line and order! There's plenty of seating though! Now on to the food; I got ham and cheese croissant (to go), Yaki omelet sando. I asked if it is good and the cashier said it's the most popular menu item! The omelet sando is delicious: crunchy, salty savory, just perfect with the perfectly toasted sesame sprinkled white toast sandwich! Highly recommended brunch place in Cincinnati for sure, definitely worth the hype and the long wait line!

They pulled bagged and ground it in front of me saving my home grinder from being covered in Highlander grog for weeks. I also spoke to one of the founders sons who now runs the place. He took 30 minutes out of his day to answer some questions for me when I am just a random guy. This place has amazing coffee and a passionate and knowledgeable staff! Honestly if there is something negative to say I can't find it. 11/10 will always buy again!

This coffee spot is tucked inside of High Grain Brewing and while unexpected, I love how they are getting creative with the large space and incorporating additional businesses. Big time community vibes, loves it! Their menu was great and had something for everyone in our group of four. I went with their seasonal carrot cake latte with oat milk because I love trying funky seasonal offerings. I've had banana bread lattes recently but carrot cake?! That was a first for me and it was down right delicious. The place was only staffed by one person so it took a little minute for all our drinks to be made but no complaints here. They have a little seating area directly in front of the counter with a giant mural of different kinds of birds. One person in our group is a bird watcher so we had fun looking at it. I would definitely return for that latte next time I'm in town.

It was absolutely delicious! Not too sweet, creamy, and just the right amount of chocolatey goodness. I also got a **goetta sandwich**, and they were so nice to warm it up for me! So if you've been thinking about trying it, **I highly recommend it!** Everything was delicious, and I'm already looking forward to coming back again!

This particular coffee shop caught my attention because their website indicated, "Every purchase creates job opportunities for local teens and supports schools, nonprofits, and community organizations." I stopped by on a Saturday at 8 am. There were several patrons at the small tables and several people came in after me. It looks like they are popular among locals. I had the iced latte with house-made lavender syrup. I told the waitstaff that I prefer less sweet and she asked if they should lessen the amount of lavender syrup. I declined but I probably should've taken her suggestion because the drink was a teeny bit too sweet for me. But otherwise, the coffee was strong and it kept me running for hours!

They were the only coffee vendor at the event, so I was fully prepared to pay their outrageous prices, but their "service"--if you can even call it that--was completely unacceptable. I stood at their trailer for over 30 minutes while eating my food, and not a single employee bothered to come over and take my order. It looked like a ghost town. In frustration, I actually called the phone number printed right on the side of their trailer. Someone answered, but instead of being helpful, they were incredibly rude, snapped "What do you want?", when I answered they immediately hung up. When I tried calling back, they just ignored the phone entirely. It takes a special level of terrible service to completely abandon your post at a major festival and then treat paying customers like a nuisance when they try to reach you. After the way I was treated, I wouldn't drink their coffee if it was free. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.
