The environment do the coffee shop is amazing. With great chill music, it's the perfect place to get a good study session in. From what I have tried so far, the iced lattes, regular lattes, and kombucha is great!! The alternative milks they serve are oat and soy. read more

I love this place! It is my favorite place to get coffee and get work done in Clifton. The ambiance is very calming and is perfect for everything from work to hanging out with friends. It is equipped with so many games and comfortable places to sit. My favorite thing about this place is the bottomless coffee and tea and it is even more fun that you get to pick which "ugly" mug to drink it out of. However, I think most of the mugs are just adorable. The workers are so accommodating and very friendly. I plan to keep coming back! read more

Found my new favorite coffee shop in Cincinnati! Great environment to get work done or have a delicious cup of coffee with friends. Staff is super welcoming to everyone who walks in which enhances the entire experience. read more

great place to study! they also stay open a little later than most coffee shops and the coffee is always good! :))

Fabulous outdoor seating! Great indoor seating! Space for a band to play! Good dairy-free beverages! Nice desserts! Amazing service! Good stuff! read more

The drinks are delicious, and seating is abundant. It can get noisy downstairs if they are roasting coffee, but the variety of seating options both upstairs and downstairs (large bar area, couches, tables for two, four, and five to six) provides more than enough options for quieter or louder areas depending on the customer's preference. The baristas are knowledgable, welcoming, and genuine. One small thing that I appreciate is the volume of music (loud enough for background noise, but not too loud to carry on a conversation). Difficulty in finding parking (typical of this area) just may be the only negative, but it's worth it! read more

The 86 Club is an awesome community space! Staffed with great people that really care about our city and great coffee. Their espresso is handmade on a Marzocco and they offer pour overs and even siphon brew! read more

The 86 Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Pretty darn good coffee in an amazing space- the outdoor patio is beautiful & there's ample room to study. It's my new study spot. Going to have to come back on Wednesday mornings from 8-10am because they have free pancakes. The employees are super nice, too. This place is so much better than chain coffee shops so I hope they don't go anywhere. read more

The 86 Coffee Bar - My friend gets an almond milk latte and I choose the bottomless "ugly mug" option- unlimited coffee in a fun mug for $4. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Cute, unique and quaint place with a relaxed vibe. They brew all the coffee in house and the ugly mugs are a nice touch. Parking isn't the easiest because it's Clifton but I'll definitely be back (for the free pancakes on Wednesday mornings). Great place! read more

Good coffee amazing atmosphere and doesn't feel snobby studied here for a while and although people say it's crowded I got there around 7 and found multiple seating options read more

This place is awesome! There's a large selection of coffee and non-coffee things. If you're not sure what to get, the baristas are knowledgeable, friendly & give great recommendations read more

Spacious, cute deco, and the most important is their coffee is tasty. I have been to most of the coffee shops in town and sometimes I order decaf. I can say that they have the best decaf coffee (I ordered Cortado), which is usually lack of flavors compare to regular coffee. No need to say their regular coffee. I would crave for their coffee once in a while and have to have one. read more

So impressed by your club and the staff! I loved how you had the outside patio as well. I hope to come back for a show again in the near future. read more

Great place right by my apartment to do some studying! Quiet, chill atmosphere with comfortable seating options and a great drink selection. The "ugly mug" (unlimited coffee and tea) is only $4! The staff, all volunteers, is very friendly and chatty. I've learned a lot about different coffees just by asking about things on the menu. They also have Nitro coffee, which I haven't seen available anywhere else around here- definitely a unique taste! read more

Really cool place! Smoothie bar and live music with a huge smoking patio! Can't wait to see what else they do with the place!!

tl;dr good service, and espresso. Deathly ambiance and weird food choices. On a rainy morning I traipsed into the 86 club. "Coffee, community, Concert" I think the banner said? The place is pretty cool looking, and large. I walked up the set of steps and smelled mainly smoke, stale beer, maybe the essence vomit episodes past? This place needs some freshening up. Some airing out, and maybe a paint for the walls that's other than, oh I don't know, DEATH BLACK. It obviously used to be a bar, I get it. NOW onto the espresso. The guy behind the bar was kinda and attentive, but most importantly he knew how to pull a shot! Milk steaming, while not the best foam I've ever had, was acceptable. My drink was hot and strong, despite the fact of me spilling it out on the street 2 seconds later, due to the steep step down after the door (how did I not notice that coming in?) My only complaint was with the cup because it, like the bar, lacked some finesse. My drink only took up half of it because it was a cortado, but demi cups for cortados and cubanos impress me. It shows the customer the that the product is well thought out. -1 for the ambiance -1 for selling MARS candy bars and premade salty nacho chips with processed cheese (NO!!! Buy local, support small business, and I don't want to feel like I just walked into a drug store?!?!?!) Their Red Velvet blended creme did look interesting. So I might be back to try that.. read more

This is exactly the place to spend a Friday/Saturday night! The venue is amazing. I came to see a band play, not really knowing what to expect, but I loved it! I like the fact that it's a club, but not a club-like club with alcohol and obnoxiousness. Being able to relax with friends and get a cup of tea or coffee is the perfect idea for a concert hall. I can't wait to come back here. read more

I got caught in a thunderstorm while I was in Short Vine so I decided to check this place out since they had coffee. I loved it. The cappuccino was excellent and the interior of the place is awesome. They have plenty of seating, checkers, chess, a pool table, and a stage for live performers. When I went, it was pretty empty probably because it was a random summer day, but I'd definitely like to visit during the semester. read more

This is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. I really like the atmosphere, music (they play many different genres, but all appropriate for a coffee shop), seating areas, and of course their lattes are pretty good too:) read more

Stopped in here for coffee while I was hanging out on Vine Street. This place is a hidden gem! The whole place is huge, and I can't believe I've never been in here! The second we walked in, the barista greeted us. They have a lot of open space, big tables, games, an outdoor area, and a downstairs area (which I didn't see). It was cozy and quiet, definitely somewhere that I would come to get work done! I ordered a cafe mocha and it was delicious (also, they don't serve alcohol)! They definitely take their time with your drink order and perfect it. I definitely recommend this for any caffeine addicts looking for a new cafe. I plan on going back to try some other drinks on the menu! I have heard great things about the owner and staff, and I definitely noticed in when I stopped in for just 10 minutes. They are so kind and welcoming! read more

I absolutely love this place! Locally owned, non profit organization. They roast all of their beans on site! If you're in the area stop by and try it out! read more

loads of room - good coffee - love the cups - nice staff space was a bit cool so bundle up. read more

Went on Saturday afternoon, was spacious, comfy, not crowded, and I got lots of work done. Bartender/barista/dude in charge of coffee when I was there, Isaac, is a peach. I had a café au lait and DAMN, that coffee is good. It's got nice flavor, balanced, sweet, creamy... all that stuff that you want when you get drip coffee, rather than the acid bath for your esophagus I end up getting at most places. Will come back if I'm strolling through again. read more

Went to grab a cup of coffee to go around 10 am. They didn't have any brewed and said it would be 5 minutes. I waited about 10 minutes without any update as to how much longer at which point I asked. They stated it would just be a couple minutes however it took much longer. Overall my 'quick' to go coffee took 20 minutes. read more

The 86 Club is an awesome gem in Clifton on Short Vine! My friend and I go every Wednesday morning for FREE pancakes (Wednesdays 8-10 am) and coffee/tea before class. Relaxing environment and very friendly service! I would definitely recommend this place to students looking for a chill place to study and to professionals for a mid-afternoon coffee break! Very glad I checked this place out. read more

Found this place a little intimidating from the outside, but once my friend took me there, I fell in love. Nice quiet place to get your work done. Very cozy, and they have live music on the weekends, which I thought was pretty cool. I love supporting small businesses. Another plus, they are a nonprofit! I will definitely go back! read more

Awesome service and great coffee! Owner and other baristas are always welcoming! I've never had a bad experience here. A hidden gem on Short Vine! read more

New favorite coffee shop! Lots of tables, direct trade coffee, awesome outdoor patio, great music. Baristas are awesome and friendly. :)

Ordered a latte with an extra shot and a piece of lemon poppyseed bread. Both were great and the barista was helpful.
