It's a family-run spot inspired by their grandfather's bakery and Italian culture, truly living up to their motto of being "not just a café, not just a restaurant, but an experience that is authentically Italian." We ordered the Crostone, an assortment of Italian breads featuring different toppings. One with fresh salmon cream and Asiago cheese, and another with roasted cherry tomatoes and stracchino, along with their Bufalina pizza. For drinks, we tried the Mokaccino Ferrero Rocher and their seasonal Arancia Nutella Latte. Everything was delicious and made for a great lunch. Definitely stop by and check them out for a unique café experience!

Luckily it wasn't too crowded as we got the only 'big' table - (seated 8 plus the window bar seats). Amongst the group we had the Ronnie, Avalanche, Sleeping Giant, Rocky Mountain and the Snow Bunny.

We ordered coffees, a matcha, two smoothies (one fruit-based, one milk-based), plus sandwiches and wraps. Everything was fresh, thoughtfully made, and you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients The staff was genuine and accommodating, and the cafe is a nice balance between cozy and polished. Inside, there's plenty of space to settle in and work remotely from too. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try their wine selection. On a warm summer evening with a glass of rosé, at their patio -- it's a vibe! This pocket of Cincinnati also reminded me of some California coastal towns, which is nostalgic for me. All around, a great experience

I tried the chicken bacon ranch wrap, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying, and paired it with their butter bourbon latte--both hot and iced. Each version was delicious in its own way: the hot felt cozy and indulgent, while the iced was smooth and refreshing. The option to add a shot of bourbon of your choice for a modest upcharge is such a fun, elevated touch that sets this café apart. The staff is also so kind! What really makes Bow Tie Café shine, though, is the atmosphere. It's easily the best place in Cincinnati to romanticize your life on a beautiful day--whether you're sipping something special, enjoying a casual meal, or just soaking in the charm of Mt. Adams. Even better, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and experience. A true gem.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fun, energetic, and welcoming. The whole place has a colorful, trendy vibe with music playing, people laughing, and a relaxed brunch crowd that made it feel exciting without being overwhelming. Even though it was busy for Mother's Day, it still felt organized and comfortable instead of chaotic. The food was honestly so good. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the portions were huge. You can tell they put thought into the menu instead of serving just basic breakfast food. It felt like a fun twist on classic brunch favorites. Service was fast too, which we appreciated especially on such a busy holiday morning. The staff stayed friendly and upbeat the entire time, and you could tell they handled the rush really well. My husband and I were already excited for our day at the zoo, and breakfast here was the perfect start to it all. I'm currently pregnant, so finding a breakfast spot that actually sounds good and lives up to the hype feels extra important right now. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back the next time we're in Cincinnati.

One piece of toast and no potatoes. Won't go back since we can get much better food at First Watch or Wild Eggs, for the same price or less.

We had the queso which is not your average. Its thick cheesy texture tucks inside of a small tortilla. So, not your typical chips and queso . The addition of a roasted jalapeno was brilliant!

Unfortunately, I did not ask what the ceviche of the day was before ordering. The ceviche was shrimp with squid ink and I am just not a fan of squid ink dishes. The hamachi appetizer was great though. Then, we waited an hour for the rest of our food to arrive. The mole dishes we ordered were more bright/sour and not the deep rich flavors we were expecting. The citrus marinated prawns had great flavor, but the sharp prawn antennas took away from the dish. The presentation was lovely, but we left disappointed in the food and the long wait.

Only thing is I wish they could make it gluten free. I got the Mira bowl in a kid size portion and had boiled eggs as an add on. Perfect portion! The bartender recommended the smaller size since I was getting waffles and I'm glad she made that suggestion. Lavender latte with oatmilk was light and delicate. Just what I was looking for. Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

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.

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.
