Amazing coffee, foods great, the cashiers are always pleasant (not always on task tho), the restaurant itself is beautiful. a little pricy but i would say worth it.

Delicious coffee and fast service. We ordered a small hot Mock - E- Otto made with oat milk and a 20 ounce iced oat milk white chocolate truffle latte totaling $13 for both. Not too sweet, perfectly balanced both made with high quality coffee.

What a lovely way to end my trip to Cincinnati! Great pastries, light breakfast and easy grab snacks! Love that they have merch for purchase, as well as local favorites. Although there was a decent lined formed when we arrived, it moved swiftly and it wasn't long until we were seated! There is plenty of room to work from here, read a book, chat with friends etc. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in Cincinnati again!

I always proud of their produce, coffee emporium. A gift for friends when I visited. I could find their products in some local grocery but once a while I love to walk in the store. Services were great. The cashier asked me if I wanted a coffee grinder, warm their scones, whipping or whole milk were ok. All did not take long time. You ordered and waited for them to call your name. The line went quick. Parking meters on the street. The pastry looked good. I tried raspberries scone ($3). It was tasty with my cup of Mock-E-Otto (tall $5.50). So the place could treat you if you only want a cup of coffee, take the coffee bean home or a little meal.

Coffee Emporium is one of Cincinnati's premier coffee shops and for good reason. Sitting in the heart of downtown, this coffee shop is absolutely massive with plenty of seating and an attractive industrial look. The vibe is less so for socializing and relaxing, and moreso for getting work done. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee quality is some of the best you can get in Cincinnati; I love the drip coffee grounds and have a cup every morning! Our lattes were very good and the blueberry muffin was a nice light, sweet, and tart treat to accompany our drinks. We look forward to heading back!

In the mood for some good quality Cinci coffee, I found Coffee Emporium in the searches and decided to check it out. Here's my take on the experience: Quality of coffee and food: Good. I tried their Aztec Warrior which is a mocha with 2 espresso shots and a little bit of cayenne pepper. The drink was smooth, flavorful, and had just the right amount of kick to make it unique. I also got a croissant that tasted like it was freshly baked there. Décor: kinda cool. The place felt like coffee roaster's basement. It is very cozy and dark and the place is filled with wonderful coffee aroma. Cleanliness: good. The tables and general seating area looked clean. Service: great. The person taking the order gave great suggestions for coffee drinks and pastries. Price: reasonable. The coffee was around $6.50 and the pastry was around the same price. If you're up for some good quality hand-crafted coffee and tea drinks then head on over to Coffee Emporium. Parking can be a little bit tricky so plan accordingly.

What a gem - exactly what I'm looking for when I'm traveling for work and need a spot to hunker down in to get stuff done. I discovered this coffee shop on Yelp a few days before I got to town. It was right around the corner from my hotel so it worked out perfectly. I arrived to find a space that's much larger than what I expected. It's got an industrial vibe but with a ton of natural sunlight, and some cozy touches... like plants and strung twinkle lights. There's a large seating area to the right, and a home goods shopping + snacks + bakery items, section to the left. You place your order right in the middle. My coworker and I stayed for quite a while. Because of that, I ordered a handful of different things. I started things out with an iced latte and a gluten free muffin. The coffee was exactly what I was craving but the muffin could have been better. A little later on I got a lavender matcha and that was perfect. One thing to note: There's a 45 minute time limit on their free wifi - but once that time is up you can easily log back in for another 45 minutes. This was kind of annoying considering the "time limit" wasn't truly a limit, but I get the gist. Pro tip - Anytime I stay at a coffee shop for a long period of time, I continue to make purchases, hence me getting another drink a few hours later. I suggest you do too so you're not just taking up space but continuing to support the business while you're at it.

Unique coffee shop with a cool ambiance! We had an iced coffee and an iced latte - both were good. They have a cute store and lots of good breakfast/pastry options.

Excellent coffee and a busy place on a weekday morning when I stopped for my first caffeine. My cortado was excellent and worth paying for as the flow of customers definitely had the baristas working hard. I found a table with a power outlet and was able to connect to their wifi with ease. I stayed about an hour and a half and would have gotten a second coffee except that my parking meter was running out. Cincinnati wants its dollar per hour for sure. Great spot, great coffee.
