This coffee shop has several locations in the Cincinnati area. I visited their Findlay Market cafe for an afternoon pick me up. The summer menu was still available, so I ordered the blueberry cobbler latte. The syrup was a beautiful purple color! It added just a hint of blueberry flavor to the drink but was not too sweet. Coffee was pretty good - fairly smooth without an overpowering bitter taste, so a thumbs up from me. read more

Hanging with my friend after brunch and enjoying Findlay Market I decided I needed a little caffeinated pick me up and Urbana was here to serve!! I lived they spelled my name right on my cup of hot Holy Peppermint (peppermint mocha) which could have used a bit more peppermint syrup for my tastes but my taste buds like to be smacked into submission. Service with a smile and great space to walk and talk! read more

Dropping a five star review here for the fabulous experience we had with the Urbana team this morning. Their team was hustling to turn orders with the busy Saturday market crowd. We both thoroughly enjoyed our seasonal drinks of orange spice and pumpkin spice. If you're less on the sweet train, I suggest the orange spice. They also had a seasonal eggnog cappuccino with local eggnog that caught my eye. Next time We also picked up a bag of beans as our souvenir for the trip. Overall, a fabulous experience with their friendly team and the bustling Findlay Market atmosphere. read more

Long wait time sometimes when the market is busy on the weekends but usually worth the wait

i asked what beans they were pulling on the machine, the barista said "espresso"... ok. they also got my drink wrong.

When I got to the Urbana Cafe counter, I was frustrated because parking was difficult and it took me 30 minutes to find a spot, BUT Urbana turned my mood around - the barista was very friendly and held a conversation with me about traveling and my caramel latte was exactly what I needed to warm me up on a chilly day. read more

Urbana Cafe - Caramel Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was enjoying my time at Findlay Market, when I spotted Urbana Café. I had seen great reviews about it and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience did not align with those great reviews. The Urbana Café is located on the outer area of Findlay Market, nestled near the middle of the side near Makers Baker. Urbana Café really keeps the area neat and very clean, to say the least. I looked over their menu of coffee offerings and decided on an Iced Caramel Latte. When I approached the counter, I waited on the woman at the cash register to help me. She glanced at me briefly before grumbling, "He'll help you over there." A friendly young man came from the back, took my order and asked another coworker to make my drink. The woman at the cash register put the Square payment block on the counter so I could pay. She didn't look at me the whole time and when the bill was paid, she handed me the receipt without even a thank you. The young man and the other coworker at least said a "bye", or "see you next time". Iced Caramel Latte in hand, I took a quick couple of sips and tasted...nothing. No caramel, no flavor of any kind. In fact, it did not even taste like the coffee I drink from my own home. It was just bland, bitter liquid with ice. After trying to get my money's worth, I threw it away. I'm glad others had a great experience with a really good tasting coffee. However, after the treatment from the cashier and the bitter iced coffee, I cannot recommend this place at all. read more

Pumpkin spice latte was so refreshing. My husband got an earl grey tea iced and loved it. Service was excellent. The location was right in the Findlay market, so convenient. read more

Urbana Cafe - Pumpkin spice latte iced - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It's pretty good! Very friendly people. I got a latte - the drink was at the perfect temperature & had the good natural sweetness from milk and espresso. The milk foam was a bit too thick (maybe the steam wand was positioned a bit shallow so it quickly generated the thick foam that was not hot enough & could not blend well with the espresso... maybe) and the espresso had a very gentle bitter & smoky aftertaste to me though. They also have beans for sale that are packed well and look fresh. It's a busy location & get ready to wait a bit during their busy time - a good place to get coffee in the market area. read more

I don't write reviews often but I was waiting for my coffee for 6-7 minutes and the other people waiting for their order were complaining and generally being disgruntled about the wait. As someone who has spent a lot of time at coffee shops if you see a cafe that has an espresso machine that can only pull two shots at a time it is literally impossible to make drinks come faster than the machine. The barista was flying through making drinks as efficiently as possible. They were polite and apologetic for the wait but if there are five+ drinks ahead of you don't be snippy at them. The drink itself was amazing! I often worry if I get a coffee with a syrup it will be way to sweet and distract from the taste of the espresso. It was a lightly sweetened so it didn't drown out the flavor and the quality of the beans made for almost no acidity or bitterness. Genuinely the best coffee I've found in Cincinnati so far and will be returning read more

GUYS. If you're in Findlay Market, you should start with coffee from Urbana Cafe. My iced caramel coffee was so insanely delicious. My mom got a hot caramel macchiato and I loved it too. Prices were worth it for the quality. Also, the set-up is so fun! Loved this place. read more

The dirty chai latte was amazing. Love the coffee and service is always great. Always come here when we visit Findlay market.

I really like this location of urbana cafe. They are always very helpful in letting me know what the specials are, and they are happy to answer any questions you may have about a drink. Yesterday, I had the orange spice flat white with almond milk. It was very good! It was my first flat white, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I was very happy with it. read more

Urbana Cafe is great coffee truck around town. We needed coffee for a morning event this week and told them the location of our event, they were available and arrived early all setup & ready to go for our guests. Our guests remarked on how fresh the coffee was and they're very creative with their coffee/cream creations on the top of the cup. If you're looking for a fun, funky way to delight your guests for a morning event work with Urbana Cafe. read more

This cute blue caffeine-charged vespa ape immediately caught my attention. What's not to love about it? The cappucinos were very good, especially as for the portable conditions. We even got some latte art, even though it is quite difficult to achieve it in a paper cup. It says 'coffee with a purpose' on the side of the truck, because a portion of the profits goes to dog rescue organizations, which is very noble! A complimentary cookie from O Pie O was a nice treat. I also liked their webpage and blog. Great concept! read more

Urbana Cafe - Little cute Vespa Ape - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Very cool little space in Pendleton, polite and nice baristas who will explain any cup you're not familiar with, alter anything to your liking, and make sure you're happy when you get a cup. And that's not gonna be hard to do when you taste the coffee, it is excellent. Great selection, and the fact they do a nitro with almond milk and cocoa added to it is like dessert and a caffeinated cup. Won't hesitate to go back, and will stop and just running something in the area. Plus looks like they're still carrying fat Bens amazing pop tarts, which are a serious problem read more

I was at the farmers market and, charmed by the little blue truck, I decided to give this moveable coffee vendor a try. I had the mocha, and I was sadly disappointed. The chocolate was not incorporated at all so all of it was at the bottom of the cup; at the end of the drink I was basically left drinking chocolate sludge. On top if that, the steamed milk had a weird taste. I think either the milk was scalded or the steam wand was not cleaned properly. Things I liked: they accept credit card And the barista makes foam art. read more

One of the best coffee places in the city, shots are fresh and tasty, seasonal drinks are creative and fun, staff are always very friendly and incredibly stylish. 10/10 read more

Great place to stop for a latte. Freshly ground and prepared on the spot. Of course the latte art just adds that finishing touch. This is all served from the back of a small and quaint truck, which adds a touch of European flair. read more

Urbana Cafe - Caramel latte. Best latte in Cincinnati. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Let me preface this by saying I've bought a lot of coffee in my life. And iced coffee. I also have worked in service for 5 years now but never as a full-blown barista. While I should have just asked for a replacement, I felt bad about criticizing the guy working yesterday and I didn't feel like squabbling over it. But really, that was the most watered-down/weak coffee I've ever been served. For almost double the price of an iced coffee you'd get anywhere else. Maybe he misunderstood what I wanted but the cup seemed to be 60-75% ice water before adding the coffee itself. Maybe the cold brew batch was off? Don't think I'll buy another cup of water for $4.50. Also, I wouldn't normally do this and maybe I was giving off weird vibes, or the guy didn't like that I wasn't wearing a mask, or I looked rushed and unkept or something, but I wasn't offered cream or sugar, and I wasn't able to tip or see how much I was charged at all. He actually didn't really speak to me at all besides saying "yup" and "that'll be $4.50." I'll also note, he didn't seem busy or anything so I'm not sure why he'd be so short... I know servers have bad days or bad moments and really it wasn't horrible. Just was hoping for more. read more

My husband and I both had the seasonal Orange Spice flat whites from the Findlay Market location. They were perfect! Fresh orange zest and warming spices....nothing sweet or artificial about it. The two people working today were busy yet very personable. I might have to return tomorrow... read more

Vespacar. The key word here is Vespacar. Nothing else matters when you serve coffee out of a Vespacar. There is an Intelligentsia that serves coffee out of an old Citroen truck. But a Vespacar. I have never seen a Vespacar coffee stand before. So we had just been to Collective Espresso before stopping at the Findlay market. Thus I was already walking around with a cup of coffee in my hand. But when I saw the Vespacar there was just no other choice. I went through the line with my Collective cup for yet another cup of coffee and proceeded to walk around with two cups of coffee in my hands. (I've done this before.) It was actually a macchiato. A traditional macchiato, espresso with a dot of milk rather than a mini cappuccino. It may have tasted slightly burnt, I think. But who cares? It came from a Vespacar. A bit about Urbana Cafe. The owner is Daniel Noguera who grew up in Venezuela. He was there by the Vespacar making espresso drinks and appeared to be a nice genuine guy. They have a blend of coffee he made that they use for all the espresso. And you can hire them to make coffee at an event. A bit more about the Vespacar. It's actually a Vespa Ape. But it is a Vespacar because it says Vespacar on the front. Daniel used to not like Vespacars when he was a kid. Later he went to Italy and fell in love with Vespacars. So finally he found a Vespacar for sale and bought the Vespacar and turned the Vespacar into an espresso bar. They named this Vespacar, Lucia. I just used the word Vespacar 18 times in one review. How embarrassing. That Vespacar though... read more

This super cute coffee cart is right at the entrance of Findlay Market! It's a little bit of a wait be sure is because all the espresso is brewed when ordered but it's not too bad - especially when you're in a fun, bustling place. Drinks are comparable to your regular coffee joints so not super cheap but do-able. (macchiatos are about $3, cortados are a little more and iced lattes start at $4.50) Unlike some places, when you order a macchiato they make it the right way! Strong, delicious espresso with a bit of cream and foam. No extras! This is definitely the go-to coffee cart for purists. read more

Wow and to think it took us a while to try the Urbana Cafe. Now it is our favorite treat at the market on Saturday or Sunday morning. Really look forward to this experience each week. It is a one or sometimes two person show, so when the market is busy patience is good, but always well worth the wait when there is one. We always get the cappuccino. They accept cash and credit cards and email you the receipt. read more

Great tasting coffee! I am a cold coffee addict and when I heard about the Caffe Shakerato I knew I had to try it. It is an espresso shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice and mint which makes it cold and adds a nice hint of mint. It is amazingly good! Strong rich coffee flavor and the bit of mint is a wonderful compliment. It was so good that after I tried it the first time I had to return the next weekend to Findlay Market to enjoy it again. They also have nitro coffee as far as cold coffee goes and that is also really good. If you catch them at Findlay Market you might be able to get an affogato as well, which is an espresso poured over gelato. Their menu includes all the standard espresso based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes. The owner is really nice and knowledgeable and a fun guy to talk to. I learned about coffee, the nitro process, and Italy all from talking to him. An enjoyable conversation over delicious coffee. I will definitely be returning many more times! read more

Awh! I love this little truck so much! I am not much of a hot coffee drinker, mainly because everywhere prior to this place my coffee is always way too hot and then you have to wait for it to cool and then it's too cold! With Urbana you get the perfect Goldie Locks cup of coffee! I recommend getting lattes, it has the perfect amount of foam and it's not too sweet, wonderful place ran by people who are really passionate about quality! If I could give 6 stars, I would. read more

Best coffee in Cincinnati (and trust me, I've tried many as a coffee addict). Specializes on a few types and therefore, coffee is consistently delicious. A must stop every time I'm at Findlay Market. Would love to see them expand to the east side read more

Urbana is, by far, my favorite go-to for a delicious coffee treat in the Greater Cincinnati area. Not only is the quality of their coffee drinks outstanding, the prices are exceptional. My friends/family and I love to visit them on the weekends at Findlay Market. The two gentleman who always serve us are kind and passionate about their business. Some of my most favorite drinks are the caramel latte, pistachio frappuccino, and an affogato I tried when they did an event at Buona Terra in Mount Lookout Square. Let's also not forget their passion for rescue pups! Stop by to try one of their excellent creations and see their adorable truck! read more

I was prepared to be super impressed with Urbana but found the service to be a bit unapproachable. While I enjoyed a decent cup of coffee I felt rushed by the barista. I know coffee fairly well. I enjoy a perfectly crafted cup of coffee or espresso, but when in the company of coffee lovers I expect a little more of an interaction than a quick exchange of money for a cup of coffee. Perhaps I caught Urbana on a bad day, I will try them again in the future. read more

Excellent cappuccino!! Very friendly attendants. Mini truck is very cute and made me feel as if I was in Italy!! :)

Cozy, great coffee and baked goods.

Urbana Cafe is a unique food truck. With their own coffee blend, the taste is unlike any other, well balanced. Last time I stopped by, they were serving a special drink called shakerato (shock-eh-RAH-toe). It's an Italian version of iced coffee... Delicious! and perfect for the summer. Daniel and the staff are very friendly and they really know how to make a good espresso, latte or fancy iced drinks. read more
