Even though there was a wait, the bartender and server kindly invited us to sit at the bar so we wouldn't have to stand in line. Our food took a little longer than expected, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the quality of the food more than made up for the extra time. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the overall experience was wonderful. We had a great meal and a very enjoyable visit. Highly recommend!

It's a family-run spot inspired by their grandfather's bakery and Italian culture, truly living up to their motto of being "not just a café, not just a restaurant, but an experience that is authentically Italian." We ordered the Crostone, an assortment of Italian breads featuring different toppings. One with fresh salmon cream and Asiago cheese, and another with roasted cherry tomatoes and stracchino, along with their Bufalina pizza. For drinks, we tried the Mokaccino Ferrero Rocher and their seasonal Arancia Nutella Latte. Everything was delicious and made for a great lunch.

We ordered coffees, a matcha, two smoothies (one fruit-based, one milk-based), plus sandwiches and wraps. Everything was fresh, thoughtfully made, and you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients The staff was genuine and accommodating, and the cafe is a nice balance between cozy and polished. Inside, there's plenty of space to settle in and work remotely from too. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try their wine selection. On a warm summer evening with a glass of rosé, at their patio -- it's a vibe! This pocket of Cincinnati also reminded me of some California coastal towns, which is nostalgic for me. All around, a great experience

I tried the chicken bacon ranch wrap, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying, and paired it with their butter bourbon latte--both hot and iced. Each version was delicious in its own way: the hot felt cozy and indulgent, while the iced was smooth and refreshing. The option to add a shot of bourbon of your choice for a modest upcharge is such a fun, elevated touch that sets this café apart. The staff is also so kind! What really makes Bow Tie Café shine, though, is the atmosphere. It's easily the best place in Cincinnati to romanticize your life on a beautiful day--whether you're sipping something special, enjoying a casual meal, or just soaking in the charm of Mt. Adams. Even better, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and experience. A true gem.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fun, energetic, and welcoming. The whole place has a colorful, trendy vibe with music playing, people laughing, and a relaxed brunch crowd that made it feel exciting without being overwhelming. Even though it was busy for Mother's Day, it still felt organized and comfortable instead of chaotic. The food was honestly so good. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the portions were huge. You can tell they put thought into the menu instead of serving just basic breakfast food. It felt like a fun twist on classic brunch favorites. Service was fast too, which we appreciated especially on such a busy holiday morning. The staff stayed friendly and upbeat the entire time, and you could tell they handled the rush really well. My husband and I were already excited for our day at the zoo, and breakfast here was the perfect start to it all. I'm currently pregnant, so finding a breakfast spot that actually sounds good and lives up to the hype feels extra important right now. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back the next time we're in Cincinnati.

We both ordered Bloody Marys, which were good although we didn't get the lime or extra olives we asked for. I ordered the philly cheesesteak omelet. It was skimpy, very dry, came with one piece of toast and no potatoes. Seemed over priced at $15. My friend ordered a cheese omelet. Again, it was skimpy and dry, and none of the cheese was melted. One piece of toast and no potatoes. Won't go back since we can get much better food at First Watch or Wild Eggs, for the same price or less.

Excellent food, generous portions, and a memorable brunch experience. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu! Attentive service and a beautiful location in Downtown Cincinnati's quiet Pendleton neighborhood made the morning perfect.

I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy.
