College Hill Coffee Co.

Seeing all the reviews of people complaining about wearing masks is a bit heartbreaking... The owner or even the staff could have issues where it could risk their well-being to be sick. We are still in a pandemic, people are still dying from Covid; wearing a piece of fabric on your face while you're ordering isn't a huge deal. The coffee and food is delicious :) I plan on bringing my friends!

This isn’t the type of coffee shop that I typically enjoy. If my review were only based on that, I’d rate it a 3. But the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff far outweighed my amiss expectations of the coffee and atmosphere. The inside feels very much like a late 90s coffee shop (think Yellow springs, religious nature hippie, Zen N Now, or the show friends). The gift shop set up probably exacerbates that. The outside patio is also a nice touch. Not sure I understand the others downvoting because of the mask requirement. It is clearly denoted on their sign. Maybe someone who works there has an autoimmune disease and can’t get vaccinated, or is still at risk. The pandemic hasn’t ended. Cincinnati’s 7-day average is still double what it was during the initial lockdown at the time of this review. If you think it’s a business’s choice, then let this coffee shop make their choice.

Great coffee, but come for much more than just that. They offer plenty of pastries and a wonderful gift shop with candies, soups, gifts, and more. Great place for stocking stuffers! But don't forget to grab some coffee while you're there. Parking lot located behind the building, free. They're are outdoor tables on the patio out back. Located near many other businesses.
