I wish I could give a bonus star to Roebling Books and Coffee because I just ate one of the best breakfast sandwiches of my life: The Lorde. Aptly named because it reins supreme over all other breakfast sandwiches. I also just love the vibes at Roebling Books & Coffee. It's a great spot to get some work done. The staff are always so friendly and it's such a cozy spot. I never have any trouble finding close street parking. I also got a blackberry sage iced matcha today and it was good. read more

The vibes are great and the furniture is super comfortable. We spent some time here before a reception down the street. It was easily an hour or so of browsing books then talking about them in their back room. The coffee wasn't anything special but I enjoy all of their options. I'm not exactly sure why I don't like their coffee but I also didn't like the coffee at the other location. read more

This place is so amazing. I had a breakfast sandwich that came with the BESTTT garlic labneh, and the sausage is made of lamb! They make a regular breakfast sandwich super unique. I've been thinking about it all week now. I got my regular unsweetened iced green tea and it was actually so much better than whatever I normally get from cafes. Book selection is really fun and there's space in the back as well. Lovely workers & lovely place! I don't live in the area but can't wait to come back next time I am. read more

Roebling Books & Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

Such a great neighborhood spot. Cozy, welcoming, and the kind of place you actually want to come back to. They have a really nice perk for regulars too, you fill up a card and get a free coffee or even a book, which is a pretty sweet deal. Definitely one of those places that feels like part of the community. read more

Loved this little bookstore coffee shop in Newport! Excellent cozy vibe, pretty good sized curated book selection, cards, stickers, local authors, interesting building. Great place to stop for a coffee. Staff were super friendly and helpful. A few comfy chairs living room style in the main room and more and a big table and chairs in the large back room. Cute neighborhood with historic homes and well tended gardens - worth a walk around the neighborhood too. read more

Nothing regarding the coffee in this post. I had a simple question regarding their donations with purchase of coffee. They state that ordering their "no ice" coffee would donate $0.50 of every purchase to the Immigration Coalition. I simply asked for clarification; would it go to help the illegal immigrants and their struggle with ICE, or does it go to benefit legal. No response, they simply blocked me. Such a simple question. What a pity. read more

One of the best bookstores I've ever been to in the world. The bookseller's recommendations are unmatchable and never disappoint. Highly recommend. The coffee shop is great too! read more

Love their golden latte with a shot of espresso. Such a beautiful, cozy space with lots of old building charm.

I've been to both the Newport and Dayton locations, and the atmosphere and aesthetics are very nice, lots of books and nice space to sit and read or eat. A couple years ago they were running a monthly poetry reading, and I attended several, which were very fun and supportive (they might still do this, I just haven't been in a while). Unfortunately, their Chai doesn't stand up to the vibes. The first time I went to the poetry event, I got an iced chai and it was super watered down, very little flavor at all. Most recently I visited the Dayton location and got another chai. This one was better--actually had some flavor--but it was outrageously sweet. I did also get a sausage, egg, and kale breakfast sandwich, and it was actually pretty decent. read more

Excellent choice of tea too. Great place to meet a friend to catch up or read the paper. Nice selection for pastries.

I tried Match Pistachio. It was rich and creamy. I could smell fresh ingredients while I was drinking. The staff were nice. I love that they used mug which there was tray and trash to put away. There were little pastries. I tried two both were delicious. Overall I love the place, the drink and the pastry. I have to go back to try the food though. The kitchen was closed at 2 pm. Parking on street was easy to find. read more

Oh boy! I'm estactic about this new addition to the East Row. A wonderful bookstore, coffee shop, and event spac (they have poetry readings), Roebling Books & Coffee's second location is just as welcoming, cozy, and filled with great reads & unique gifts. On more than one occassion, I've found the perfect card, the perfect book, and a delicious iced coffee that perfectly hits the spot. If you happen to be in the area, venture into the historic neighborhood of East Row (or Mansion Hill) and support the people at Roebling Books & Coffee. I promise you will find something you need/want! read more

Roebling Books & Coffee - two vases with flowers - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

The best cafe au lait I've ever had. I spent the duration of my drink people watching from the quaint, lumpy couch in the main room. What a lovely space to sit and relax. This was my second visit to this location, and it's a place we like to stop at when we are in town in the morning hours. The bookstore part of Roebling is lovely, too. Such a charming place; I wish there was a Roeblings in Lexington! It's a special place. read more

Love this spot! Such a great vibe. Food is good and coffee is phenomenal. I love that there is Indoor and outdoor seating. I like to bring my dog and sit outside with a good book (one I may have purchased at their book store!) this is my favorite coffee shop I. The neighborhood. They also make great smoothies and their food is delicious and fresh. You need to check it out! read more

A beautiful coffee shop with chill vibes and a big library to peruse through, Roebling is a must visit. The lavender cinnamon bun was very good and the honey latte was not bad. It is a great spot for hanging out or getting work done. I can't wait to come back and try the chocolate babka. read more

Roebling Coffee is my go to coffee stop! They have a variety of specialty drinks and always have the best seasonal drinks. They don't just specialize in coffee. They have lots of teas, including my personal favorite, the raspberry iced tea. Another thing I like about this store is the book store side. They have staff that will check in with you to make sure he can find what you need, and if you don't find what you're looking for a lot of times, they can order it for you! It's a super easy process and they just send you a text when it's at the store. read more

Here, two of my favorite things are merged into one cozy space - a bookstore and a coffee shop! I've been attending a writing workshop here but had never been before, and I look forward to returning again and again. I didn't have food, and I am more of a tea drinker, but they had a great selection along with some chai and matcha latte options. Definitely worth a try! read more

A great place for a friend meet up- with specialty coffee's, tea's, hot chocolate, and some baked goods. Book shelves, fun seating areas, lots of natural light, and art for sale make for an intriguing setting! Staff were very accessible and very helpful. Note: there are 3 locations for this store group- Newport which I am reviewing here (despite the address on my pictured cup- LOL), a smaller location in Covington called Roebling Point Books & Coffee, then Dayton, KY. I chose the Newport location for its more spacious environment than Covington. read more

Roebling books is a coffee shop just begging you to come in and stay awhile. Great coffee, paired with the cutest seating areas mixed between bookshelves, it's a super chill place to have a coffee date with friends or work awhile. They also have Lil's bagels if you're felling hungry! We will definitely be back! read more

Cute little coffee shop to sip and look at alll of the great books. A hidden gem and would recommend.

"A city needs a bookstore like a body needs a soul." - Richard Hunt, RoPoBoCo owner. Well said and so true. I was bummed when Barnes & Noble at the Levee closed, but this is way better. Vast selection of drinks and food (get there early for Lil's Bagels!). Plenty of tables inside and out for meeting/reading/working. Cozy ambience. Great book selection and displays. Super friendly staff. Just what the city and neighborhood needed. read more

Popped in for a coffee this morning. Got the cold brew. Black. Was smooth and delicious. The baristas were very friendly. They have several cozy places to hang out and a great selection of books.. Will definitely be back to peruse the books when I have more time. read more

I really love it here! It's a cute little sandwich, coffee bookstore and it's nice for a day of work on your laptop or even to sit and have a sandwich with a good book or a coffee with a friend. They also have lots of books to browse through. Come and see for yourself!!! Enjoy read more

We didn't have time to linger at that books and I was disappointed by that. This is a large place that had funky items interspersed with new books. We were there such a short time I can't tell you the funky items, but my eyes were delighted and not bored or overwhelmed. The coffee was fast and good. The only negative being the barista was only a "coffee person" and was missing her "book person" so she was of limited help for my book question. Otherwise, I suggest budgeting some time to meander while you sip your coffee. read more

Best bookstore ever! I love the vibe....able to grab a coffee (maybe food) and peruse all the outward facing books. So fun to see books I might not normally see. I love it so much I'm placing my book orders through them. Sit in a variety of spaces inside OR sit outside. Take your dog. Sip, read, watch the neighborhood goings on. read more

This place has the absolute cutest vibe and tons of good books. The perfect spot to lounge in a comfy chair and read a book. I took stars off because the coffee isn't my favorite. I'm a latte drinker what can I say and their lattes are pretty flavorless. if I try to order a flavored latte it just tastes like nothing is in it. Also all the ladies that work there are super nice but the one guy isn't that pleasant. Sorry :/ read more

I had an iced Nancy Drew today and it was the BEST latte I've ever had in my life!! I'll be dreaming of that drink until the next time I go there. read more

This was the first location I'd visited out of the 3 different Roebling Books & Coffee locations, and that lovely experience led me to visit the other 2 locations as well..multiple times, too! When you visit this location, you'll feel drawn into its beauty and charm, and it will lead you to want to take a visit to the other locations as well. I was sparked with joy when I found out that this coffee company has a heart for connecting with the community and supporting other local business. They also host different events. This location has more seating options and feels the most spacious to me, out of all 3 locations. It doesn't feel quite as cozy as the other 2 locations, for that reason, but it still has it's own charm. Combine your love for coffee, community, and books with this lovely coffeeshop! read more

Great food and coffee! I did some work and had their lox sandwich with an americano! Lovely atmosphere and sweet staff:)

From friendly staff to the amazing ambiance and beautiful teas, this place has my total heart. It's so comforting to go in, browse, read a bit, and relax. I absolutely love it. read more

Great book selection and the iced chai latte was amazing and everyone was so nice. Would definitely recommend

I was super excited to see that Roebling Point Books and Coffee opened a second location, and I was really happy going in there today. It is over in Newport and me and my boyfriend got two coffees and a potato and sharp cheddar quiche. The quiche was quite good - though they did microwave it so the crust was not crisp. However, it is a coffee shop so I manage my expectations to some extent. This location does differ from the original in that it has tables to work. It seemed relatively busy for an early Sunday morning, so I'm not sure if it would be the ideal place to go and work for hours on end but a few people brought their laptop. Seems more like the type of place to go on a date or to grab coffee with a loved one and chat over the table than a work/study place. They also had tables set up outside under a covering so once it is warm, that would be a wonderful place to sit. I love Roebling's coffee - I get an oat milk latte and my boyfriend always gets a classic drip. I really like their coffees because even their specialty coffees are more on the strong side. If you're a fan of the Starbucks lattes, I would be warned that this definitely has a clear espresso kick to it (but I love it that way :^) ). I also love their book selection. I felt like they didn't have as much of a selection as the original location, but that is to be expected to some extent because it is newer than the original. I really enjoy that they have a smaller, more curated book selection. They have a good balance between more local or niche books and more popular or up-and-coming books. Today, I got a book that is similar to a devotional that has little action items to make you happy every day. It was super cute and a fun bookshelf addition. I think that's the best part about book shops like this - you never know what you're going to find! Overall, highly recommend. read more

I have enjoyed visiting the Covington location for years, and when this second location opened in Newport, I was thrilled. Tucked inside historic Mansion Hill, the staff at this book and coffee shop are always welcoming. They've helped me track down a book more than once and serve up a quality cup of whatever you're in the mood for. Now that there is a location within walking distance, one of my often repeated weekend adventures is strolling over to my favorite bookshop and browsing the shelves with a Breve in hand. I recommend RoBoCo to all my friends! read more

This is one of the cutest bookstores I've ever visited! The coffee is excellent and they have lots of indoor and outdoor seating to work, study or read. On top of books they also have unique gifts and a few antiques for purchase. I bought a beautiful set of antique candle holders. It's become my weekly tradition to walk over there once a week. And the staff is exceptionally friendly! read more
