    I've been wanting to try Cincy Cafe for a while now and so I was on my way to the airport late night and decided to stop by. They were open til 12am on the weekdays and I think that was for their Ramadan hours which was really nice. The service was great and the guy helping us was super sweet and patient while we were deciding on what to order. I ordered the iced Pistachio Latte which is a favorite of mine from Yemeni Coffee shops and this did not disappoint! I asked for extra pistachio bc I like mine on the sweeter side and it was just right. We also ordered the Adeni Chai hot and that was a bit on the stronger side but still very flavorful. I would definitely recommend trying this out and it's so nice that it is a walk away from campus because I will definitely be back!

    Loved this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building/area was cute, cafe had nice ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and staff were very friendly. I loved my chai and honeybee bread. Would definitely come back!

    Indoor seating, plenty of outlets

    I visited Cincy Cafe every day during my short trip to Cincinnati. I loved the adeni chai and yemeni style coffee. Island breeze smoothie was refreshing. They also sell pastries and dubai chocolate. I didn't get to try the pastries but they looked sooo good. I tried the dubai chocolate and it was pricey... but delish! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is also a great place to do work. Well-lit, clean seating area. Good wifi connection, lots of tables, outlets accessible from most (if not all) tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the staff is very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is one bathroom available. Clean and well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I'm so glad to find a new Yemeni coffee place in Cincinnati. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have wonderful desserts too. If you haven't tried Yemeni coffee, you need to check this place out. I will definitely be back every time I am in this area.

    Found this delight after not finding parking at 86... so glad I did! I didn't know features Turkish flavors so that was an added bonus! Cincy Latte was great (got mine without sweetener) and I had a tough time picking a treat. I went with the blueberry croissant- which they heated and it was good. BUT disclaimer- the pastries to the left of the register are from Costco (no shade, they're delicious). Next time I will be sure to pick something else - but not everything has labels so be prepared to point :) can't wait to go back and try the Yemeni Mofawer!

    I went there this morning for study for about an hour and a half. Ordered a Cincy Latte w/ oat milk. The Latte tasted great! There was special spice in it (ginger etc.), which was just suitable for such a rainy morning, making it even more impressive. The barista was very welcoming and friendly. He was always patient for every customer's questions. The wifi was fast and stable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful and aesthetic decorations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice spot for working and studying! In the morning there were fewer people, while there might be more in the afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing Yemeni cafe with great food and ambiance![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I adore their Arabic baked goods and they have Turkish and Yemeni coffee as well as the familiar Western cafe staples. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great study location or lunch spot by UC![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I loved this coffee, even though I'm not sure which one I had. The young lady and gentleman were extremely helpful and set me up with a tasty brew. Definitley recommend! Added to the wall of coffee in our work truck!

    I came in here for the first time recently, and it was great. The island breeze smoothie was lush, with a yogurt base they used with the fruit that was really good. The pistachio milk cake was fire, almost like a tres leches. I love tres leches. The guy behind the counter was really nice too! I want to try their savory pastries next, they looked good. I will definitely be coming back here, sincerely a nice place.

    Fantastic coffee, a hidden gem if you're looking for a break from the same coffee in Cincinnati. Great flavor, nice pastries as well.

    We picked up a sampling on Thursday morning around 8:30. The line wasn't crazy so that was nice…read more UBE HALAYA CROISSANT 5.50 This was good. The ube filling was light and fluffy. Overall it was a bit overfilled so it was very messy and hard to eat. I could have done without the hidden coconut shavings inside. KIMCHI & EGG CROISSANT 5 I had this one for breakfast. I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy. I would have liked to see a little more mozzarella but overall it was tasty! SOBACHA CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 4 Also tasty, oversized cookie. Soft and chewy texture. CINNAMON ALMOND BLUEBERRY TOAST (THURSDAY/FRIDAY ONLY) 5.25 Very good. The cinnamon filling reminded me of a brown sugar pop tart. I warmed it in my air fryer and it was perfect. Would order again. I just wish they had an espresso bar!

Menu is small enough to make you want everything on it - started out with the mochi mochi panic, which we all loved. All of our entrees were worth the wait - super delicious, warm, and hearty. I got the Wagyu Smashburger, which I've had at least 3-4 times now and will continue to get every time I come!

The atmosphere feels elegant and inviting, creating a true upscale dining experience from the moment you arrive. The espresso martini was exceptional. The subtle hint of orange added just the right amount of brightness and brought the entire cocktail together beautifully. We were excited by the menu and ended up sampling several dishes: * Bread & Butter Service: A wonderful start to the meal. The presentation was beautiful, and they serve bread from Sixteen Bricks, one of Cincinnati's best local bakeries. Absolutely delicious. * Battered Cauliflower: The portion was generous, and the honey buffalo sauce was downright addictive. I fully intended to save some for later, but it never made it into a to-go box. * Short Rib Baguette: Served with a large portion of fries that were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The short rib was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, and the fries were impossible to stop eating. * Filet: Perfectly seasoned and topped with a rich garlic reduction that complemented the steak beautifully. The mashed potatoes were especially memorable--creamy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. * Dessert: We ordered both the PB&J peanut butter pie and the Fruity Pebbles cake. Both were creative and delicious. The cake had fantastic frosting, but the peanut butter pie was the star for me--rich, decadent, and absolutely worth ordering. The portions are generous enough to share, though I was happy to take some home. Even the details impressed me. The restrooms were immaculate and beautifully designed, and every member of the staff--from the restaurant to the hotel--was warm, welcoming, and eager to help. From arrival to departure, Iris Café delivered the kind of thoughtful hospitality and elevated dining experience that leaves you already looking forward to your next visit. Highly recommended.
