Thank you so much for being so welcoming!

Please read before having an event here- I I hosted my…read morenieces bridal shower here. When I looked at the place, I loved the "bougie" feel and knew she would too. I was told that with the decor package, they would take care of everything. I simply needed to tell them what colors I wanted for the theme. The package included the following- Themed plates, cups, napkins, and silverware (20 people) * Themed banner * Balloon garland * Table centerpieces * Cupcakes (for up to 15) * Fresh flowers on tables * Outdoor custom welcome sign * LED sign On the day of the shower, I arrived early to set up the food and drinks. In the rush of getting this done and guests arriving, I didn't realize things were missing. I did ask the employee about the cupcakes. She made a phone call and came back and said they hadn't ordered them. Nothing I could do about it then. She did say they would credit me something for it. Towards the end of the shower, I began thinking that other stuff was missing. It wasn't until I got home that I looked up the package details and realized I was missing many items - outdoor custom welcome sign - fresh flowers - led sign - cupcakes - glasses ( I did have paper plates, napkins and silverware) This is what I got - a balloon arch, paper plates, plastic silverware, vases with coffee beans and candles that didn't get lit, and a themed banner. Also, when you reserve the room it is for a private event. Customers who want to go to the coffee shop are to enter the coffee shop door. There was a couple and their child that walked through our "private" event 4 times with the employee allowing this and even one time walking them through. I feel that the employee should have informed them the first time to use the other entrance explaining a private event was going on. I reached out to the owner to discuss the missing items. I feel that she was defensive from the beginning. She said that the cupcakes are only for a child's birthday. I told her that there is no mention of that on their website. I told her that I picked her place and the decoration package because I knew my nieces would like all the added touches. Her response was that the missing things aren't important but it's that my nieces and guests enjoyed the shower and she was sure they did. I told her that if she knew all the things missing, she'd be disappointed that she didn't have them. I was also the one paying the bill and I wanted all the items I paid for to be there. I asked for a full credit of the decorations package since more than half the items weren't there. She refused because they had to take time to order the balloon arch and plates. She said she would give me a credit if what she feels is fair. I have yet to get any credit from her. That is why I am sharing my experience. If I were you I'd think twice before renting their "private " room. And if you do, definitely decorate it yourself.

I manage a small restaurant and they are always on the ball. Any time I've been in a pinch because…read moreordering has slipped my mind or when we had a technical issue with our grinder, they are always quick to respond. I've called on a Friday morning when I realized we were dangerously low on beans heading into a busy weekend for brunch and they sent a technician by to drop off the coffee that afternoon. When you deal with so many companies that don't put this kind of effort into taking care of their clients, it really sticks out. Highly recommended if you run a small business and value superior customer service. Oh yeah, and the coffee is amazing!

Or you can be seated at a table in a large open dining area. Very community conscious with a ramp for wheelchair to get from main hostess area to the dining area. I was seated right away. Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.

We came in for a Saturday brunch to celebrate my uncle's birthday. The place is popular and was…read morequite busy around 1 PM, so expect a bit of a wait. The dining room is large but very loud. It was tough to have a conversation across the table. The food was a mixed bag. We enjoyed the French toast and bagels, and the mujadara had good flavor - a smidge dry. The tuna, which was supposed to be medium-rare, was overcooked and dry. The service was subpar. While a staff member (manager on call?) cleaned a table next to us, she accidentally sprayed one of us and their food with cleaning solution. We mentioned it to her and she apologized with no offer to replace the food. Our waiter was kind enough to agree to replace the food at our request. The previous staff member who sprayed us brought out the replacement food and rudely served it to us with attitude and without utensils. We had to flag another waiter down for utensils. Mistakes happen but the handling of this situation left a sour note on our celebratory brunch. We expected better service etiquette from Cafe Alma but left really disappointed. I hope management reviews how incidents like this are handled in the future.

There were lots of people studying, catching up, reading, and enjoying their drink. I think the place is decorated beautifully, especially with all the hanging plants. The drinks were yummy and the seating was pretty comfy. The only thing is, this is NOT a quiet coffee shop. Especially on busy days. I enjoyed the chatter but I would not come here to do work. Only to talk with friends.

If you want something for breakfast other than a bakery item then this isn't the place for you but the bakery items I have tried have all been very tasty. The white chocolate raspberry muffin is my favorite. My son with a peanut allergy has never had an issue with the bakery items! The service also is sometimes hit or miss when I have been in there. Overall the staff all seems young (maybe high school or early college) and sometimes seem more worried about chatting with co workers than getting the customers served! They are always kind just seem distracted. Parking is overall pretty easy on the street because the lot next to the shop is very small! Not really a kid friendly place!

We visited their Oakley location, which was the perfect spot to stop by and grab a fun, well-crafted drink. Their story makes the experience even more meaningful, it all began with a group of friends building lasting relationships with coffee farmers in Santa María de Jesús, Guatemala. That partnership became the foundation of their journey, leading them to launch Deeper Roots as a roasting company dedicated to sharing exceptional coffee with their community and beyond. With multiple locations across Cincinnati serving their coffee, they're definitely a spot worth supporting and checking out! It was small inside so not sure if this location is the best to do work or lounge around but definitely good to stop by and grab coffee.

Every time I go, the drinks are consistent and well-balanced, and they don't skimp. I usually pop in for a quick happy hour with friends or former coworkers, and it's perfect for that. So far I've had the deviled eggs and the potato latkes, and both were really good -- great little bites to pair with a margarita. The vibes are super cute, cozy, and welcoming. I cannot wait until the weather warms up so I can sit out on the patio -- it's going to be such a whole mood. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Pro tip: if you get there around 4:30-5:00 PM, you typically won't have much of a wait. If you're in Blue Ash and want strong margaritas, cute vibes, and easy happy hour energy -- this is your spot.

Unbelievable experience this morning at brunch. My friend and I each ordered a regular coffee and a…read morebowl of French onion soup plus a Croque Madame to share. Our server brought all three food dishes out at the same time, which we could not even fit on the small table without taking off some things to put on the bench next to me. The soup was tasty, but mostly large cubes of bread with practically no cheese at all. The Croque Madame had no discernible cheese on it at all. The worst part: we each requested a coffee refill (one was never offered), and our server poured half of my friend's topped up coffee directly from her cup into my cup! I was so shocked that I was speechless. To top off this incredible faux pas, she split the check into two without asking, and I was treating my friend. Instead of bringing a new check as I requested, she had me sign her tablet that just showed the total, with no breakout, had me fill in her tip, and then walked away with neither asking me if I wanted a receipt, which of course I did, nor providing me with one. The coffee thing was so gross and unsanitary that I never shall return.
