Such a wonderful Yemeni coffee shop! We tried the Jubani, which is a very delicious, light roasted coffee with coffee husks and spices such as ginger, cinnamon and cardamom . It goes well with one of their pastries or cakes. We chose the Dubai chocolate pistachio milk cake. The cake is very moist and the chocolate is delectable. It has a crunchy kataifi (vermicelli) on top which really blends well with the softness of the cake. We also try the Island Breeze smoothie, which had a good tropical flavor. The atmosphere is quiet enough to have a conversation . They have light music playing in the background. We hope to return to try more of their menu. If you’re looking for a unique cafe, I highly recommend visiting here. I’m sure you will be a repeat customer just as we plan to be. One suggestion I have for the owners is to put their business name on the outside awning or wall, or have a banner or poster with the name on it, as from the street the indoor sign is not visible.

This is my first ever review, but I had to because hands down Cincy cafe is my fav place for coffee and to study. Coffee is absolutely amazing, atmosphere is extremely welcoming, and the people working are so kind, it’s a hard place to beat! I wish I lived in Cincy longer to enjoy this place!

Very cute cafe! Loved the music and atmosphere. Gentleman making my order seemed to really enjoy what he does. Iced pistachio latte was probably the best latte Ive had in my life! The pistachio milk cake was also sooo good! (reminded me of tres leches). Breakfast bagel was good too!

I LOVE CINCY CAFE! Customer service is excellent and they helped me choose some fantastic items. Pictured is the iced butterfly pea tea latte, iced pistachio latte and pistachio milk cake. I am on a journey to try all Cincinnati area coffee shops and this is my favorite.

Service was great! Pistachio late was amazing! My boyfriend got a refresher and really enjoyed it too ( If you don’t like redbull you might want to try something else though) and amazing prices!

Amazing Spot in Cincy! Cincy Cafe is a gem! The Arabic sweets are fresh and delicious, and the coffee is rich and perfectly blended. The vibe is cozy, the owner is super friendly, and the location is ideal. A must-visit for great flavors and great energy.

Found this on Google looking for coffee in the area. I am so glad I stopped in, place is very clean and with lots of tables. There is such a huge selection of delicious pastries and everything was very moderately priced. The coffee is delicious (I got the sana’ani) as well as two small pastries. The gentleman at the register was super patient as I asked a ton of questions. Will definitely be coming back as well as taking some more items home today

This little place is 4.9 stars for good reason. Met the owner and he was a delight to talk to and taught us a bunch about some of his traditional coffee drinks. I had the Mufawar and my wife had the Biscoff latte. Delicious drinks that were quite different from your run of the mill coffees, especially the Mufawar. We'll definitely revisit and bring family and friends! Highly recommended!
