If you are a cafe lover like I am, here are some places you should check out across the Cincinnati area! Some of these cafes are chains and some are individually owned, but all wonderful nonetheless.Before I add my tidbits about each place, it should go without saying that I love the coffee at all of these venues.
I truly hope you get the experience these great places!

1. Saxby's Coffee - Montgomery, Ohio
This cafe possesses a very cozy atmosphere inside with couches and a fireplace located in the back. They have several tables to work or study, and they do offer a few food items including sandwiches and soups.
2. The Main Cup - Milford, Ohio
Located in the heart of Old Milford, this small, local joint has a very welcoming vibe. They have a few bakery items, but the main focus of this cafe is their coffee. They have bookshelves surrounding some of the tables which creates a very homey environment.
3. Cavu Coffee - West Chester, Ohio
This is a smaller joint located in West Chester. They have limited indoor seating, but have a few tables outside as well! This location is very trendy and fresh- simple decor, and a group of young baristas.
4. Deeper Roots Coffee - Oakley, Ohio
Although this coffee shop is located in the midst of other noteworthy cafes, you should not skip over this gem! Their simple menu allows the baristas to execute every order properly, and the simple, sophisticated feel of the place makes it very enjoyable to actually enjoy your coffee there.
5. Coffee Emporium - Cincinnati, Ohio
I recently visited the location on Erie Avenue, and realized this place was worth the hype! I ordered an iced Mocha and was very happy with the flavor. The blended drinks looked great and I'll definitely be trying that next time. My favorite part of this coffee shop was the upstairs seating. This location gives off a very rustic vibe, and the upstairs nook just added to that.
6. Branch Hill Coffee Company - Loveland, Ohio
This individually owned shop is a hidden gem of Loveland. Located off of Branch Hill Guinea Pike road, it conveniently has a drive-thru option. There is limited seating inside, but they have several tables located outside for when the weather is nice.
7. Goshen Grind - Goshen, Ohio
The Goshen Grind is almost unnoticeable from the main road, but was a pleasant surprise. They also have a drive-thru option, following the new trend of major coffee franchises. They have a few tables located inside, and the location has a very homey environment!
8. Coffee Please - Cincinnati, Ohio
Located in the Madeira area, I really loved this cafe! In addition to a latte, I ordered a Greek salad, and I was not disappointed. They do a great job of balancing the variety of light foods and desserts to their coffee options. They have lots of seating and they are usually quite busy!
