    Inside

    Two Seven Two, located near UC's campus in the Historic Clifton Gaslight District, is serving up delicious pastries and coffee! If you're looking for that perfect cute café vibe with equally yummy treats, this is the spot for you. They're part of the Brown Bear Bakery lineup, offering all your favorite baked goods and coffee creations. Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for a new café to try!

    I enjoy brown bear bakery and looked forward to trying their sister shop two seven two. The have coffee and lattes avaliable. I opted for just pastries this visit. There is street parking out front and a few tables and chairs inside to dine in. I took my pastries to go. I enjoyed the earl grey bun, cardamom bun and savory scone. I loved the savory scone as this often isn't an option at bakeries, it was a corn cheddar and jalapeño and I hope they keep this as a regular menu item!

    Such a cute little gem in the heart of Clifton. I arrived a little too late to try the pastries, which is unfortunate because they have a partnership with Brown Bear arguably one of the best pastry places in the city. Tried the espresso lemonade which was unexpected, but definitely good enough to give it a go in the future.

    I LOVE the sticky bun with pecans here. The caramel they use in it is super good. I always pray they'll still have some available whenever I go visit lolol

    Vegan pastries

    Wow! My fiancée and I are vegan foodie travelers and have been from East to West Coast looking for the best vegan pastries-- little did we know they were right here in our own backyard. Incredible! The flavors were unique and excellent but the texture? Out of this world! The service and vibes were great and the staff puts their soul into everything they do, and it shows. Try their maple oatmilk cortado too! You won't be disappointed.

    I've tried this place out a few times now. The first time during their opening month. Tip: get there a few minutes before they open to get first dibs on the options. The place is very compact with two tables and a line of 3-4 people fitting in the door, with a longer line waiting outside. Tbh I feel like they should scratch the tables and let more customers in line fit, it wouldn't be the first time a pastry place had to do so. More recently, they take your drink order and ask you to pick up beverages outside from the window. When they first started they would post to Instagram what was on the menu for the day/weekend. Last I went, it was more of a mystery until you walked in and got to see the case. With the crazy line formed behind me, my anxious self is not a fan of this change. But as someone more than open to experimenting, I end up always finding something to try. Their flavors are complex, combining teas, spices, cheeses, and creams, the list goes on. Their vegan efforts are of another world and indistinguishable from their all-ingredient companions. There are always more basic options than a vegan rhubarb cultured cream cheese and pistachio, such as a pain au chocolate, a blueberry muffin, or a chocolate chip cookie. Tried their green and pink drink-a matcha something, everyone raved about but not my cup of tea. It's pricey with most pastries close to $6, a treat nonetheless. I enjoy the ever-changing menu to keep things fresh and customers returning but I'm a real sucker for something a little simpler executed extremely well. I'm sure I'll return, yet again, but be pickier because of the price. Regardless, extreme kudos to their craft.

    Bakery Case

    As a huge fan of brown bear bakery in OTR, we were excited to come check out Two Seven Two. It's a compact space with limited seating, but adds to the coziness with the smell of freshly baked pastries. Love the addition of the large glass window panes that look directly into their bakery. The familiar sight of an assortment of pastries welcomes you on your left when you walk in. Little handwritten signs naming each pastry. Prices aren't listed, but they typically range from $5-7. The selection changes depending on which ingredients are available/in season, so there's always something new to try! The employees were patient and helpful in helping us make a decision, since everything looked so good. The two pastries we got were amazingly laminated, flaky, and delicious. I can tell the quality is held to the same high standard as their flagship store. Already off to a great start, will be back!

    It was fun to wake up Saturday morning to explore Clifton and stop into Two Seven Two!! My favorite item by far was the Twice-baked Pecan + Oat Croissant. I'm not a huge Pecan person, but found it DELICIOUS!!! I find that the bakery is easy enough to meet someone and hangout in-- assuming you do snag one of the three tables! Since the selection felt so limited (not sure if it was a time-of-day-or-always thing) I probably would go to/ try some of the other amazing bakeries in DT Cincy before coming back again.

    From the makers of brown bear bakery comes Two Seven Two, new to the Gaslight District of Clifton. I have yet to go to Brown Bear but have heard great things, so I had to check Two Seven Two out! The shop is VERY tiny, tucked away near Skyline. There are only 3 tables for seating so plan on getting your coffee and pastries to go unless you get lucky and someone leaves when you arrive! The pastries are very unique flavors which is something that always draws me to a place. I grabbed: Raspberry Five Spice Croissant Raspberry Bostock Sourdough Focaccia with tomatoes and cheese Coriander & Lemon Poppy Bun My favorite was definitely the focaccia. It is a bit like pizza when you heat it up! The raspberry jam in the croissant was amazing but for me the five spice flavor was a bit too overwhelming.

    Two.Seven.Two is the new Clifton Gaslight bakery from Blair the founder of Brown Bear Bakery in Over The Rhine. This bakery is focusing on small batch local produce baked goods. There was a line on a rainy Saturday morning but always worth the wait. Picked up a few items savory & sweet and incredibly delicious! Congratulations Two.Seven.Two on the new bakery.

    Quaint little bakery with the most unique baked goods! It's a small space so you're more likely to get to go but so worth it. Will be back!

    We tried Golden Hands Bakery for the first time about a month ago and WOW it is soooo good! We've…read morealready been a second time and it definitely is our new favorite donut shop in town! The inside is clean and bright with bakery cases full of so many yummy choices, it's hard to choose! We've tried a lot of different flavors and each one has been amazing! The custard filled donut is light and fluffy with an insane amount of filling. The cherry thingaling was delicious, you could really taste the cherries in the glaze and they had whole fresh cherries in it as well and the donut was phenomenal; it was a light and airy fritter style donut. Added bonus is that it's a friendly family owned small business, which we love to support!

    We were just driving and noticed this donut shop. The kids had seen the big chain donut place a few…read moredoors down and asked about donuts. I had seen the sign for Golden Hands and decided that's where we would go! It did NOT disappoint! The kids went for the normal glazed (but twist not a circle donut!) and vanilla with sprinkles. I wanted to try one of the many others. I tried something different so I sprung for the strawberry with banana cream. I'm not a huge banana fan but oh my goodness this was amazing! The service was impeccable. I love supporting small businesses. It's definitely got a warmth and charm that is missing from the big box places. I cannot wait to come back again!
