The drink bar was a pleasant surprise and I had a very yummy Iced Roebling Fog (like a London Fog but with a little sass). Love the physical space and the cafe space in the back with tables was an added bonus. Though small, the inventory was thoughtful and I found far too many things to choose from. The staff selections were on point and I found a few new items to add to my "to read" list. Absolutely worth a visit and I look forward to checking out the other location next time I am in town.

She let me know that the books were for sale, and that there were plenty more in the back room, and a patio in the back. The smoothie was healthy and unpretentious - just the ingredients, no sugar -- just the way I like it. I'll definitely be back to check the rest of their menu.

There's a lovely set of Cincinnati-focused books -- trails, walks, history.

Downbound runs sales in support of good causes (get on their mailing list). It's a great addition to this city. If you don't live in Northside, come on a Saturday and eat breakfast at Blue Jay or brunch at Littlefield, check out the records at Shake It, browse the vintage clothes at High Bred and Casablanca, and pick out a book or three at Downbound; you'll have a good time!

Also, who doesn't love a free bookmark with purchase!?
