    Inside

    Two Seven Two, located near UC's campus in the Historic Clifton Gaslight District, is serving up delicious pastries and coffee! If you're looking for that perfect cute café vibe with equally yummy treats, this is the spot for you. They're part of the Brown Bear Bakery lineup, offering all your favorite baked goods and coffee creations. Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for a new café to try!

    Earl grey, savory scone, cardamom scone

    I enjoy brown bear bakery and looked forward to trying their sister shop two seven two. The have coffee and lattes avaliable. I opted for just pastries this visit. There is street parking out front and a few tables and chairs inside to dine in. I took my pastries to go. I enjoyed the earl grey bun, cardamom bun and savory scone. I loved the savory scone as this often isn't an option at bakeries, it was a corn cheddar and jalapeño and I hope they keep this as a regular menu item!

    I LOVE the sticky bun with pecans here. The caramel they use in it is super good. I always pray they'll still have some available whenever I go visit lolol

    Espresso lemonade

    Such a cute little gem in the heart of Clifton. I arrived a little too late to try the pastries, which is unfortunate because they have a partnership with Brown Bear arguably one of the best pastry places in the city. Tried the espresso lemonade which was unexpected, but definitely good enough to give it a go in the future.

    Vegan pastries

    Wow! My fiancée and I are vegan foodie travelers and have been from East to West Coast looking for the best vegan pastries-- little did we know they were right here in our own backyard. Incredible! The flavors were unique and excellent but the texture? Out of this world! The service and vibes were great and the staff puts their soul into everything they do, and it shows. Try their maple oatmilk cortado too! You won't be disappointed.

    I've tried this place out a few times now. The first time during their opening month. Tip: get there a few minutes before they open to get first dibs on the options. The place is very compact with two tables and a line of 3-4 people fitting in the door, with a longer line waiting outside. Tbh I feel like they should scratch the tables and let more customers in line fit, it wouldn't be the first time a pastry place had to do so. More recently, they take your drink order and ask you to pick up beverages outside from the window. When they first started they would post to Instagram what was on the menu for the day/weekend. Last I went, it was more of a mystery until you walked in and got to see the case. With the crazy line formed behind me, my anxious self is not a fan of this change. But as someone more than open to experimenting, I end up always finding something to try. Their flavors are complex, combining teas, spices, cheeses, and creams, the list goes on. Their vegan efforts are of another world and indistinguishable from their all-ingredient companions. There are always more basic options than a vegan rhubarb cultured cream cheese and pistachio, such as a pain au chocolate, a blueberry muffin, or a chocolate chip cookie. Tried their green and pink drink-a matcha something, everyone raved about but not my cup of tea. It's pricey with most pastries close to $6, a treat nonetheless. I enjoy the ever-changing menu to keep things fresh and customers returning but I'm a real sucker for something a little simpler executed extremely well. I'm sure I'll return, yet again, but be pickier because of the price. Regardless, extreme kudos to their craft.

    Bakery Case

    As a huge fan of brown bear bakery in OTR, we were excited to come check out Two Seven Two. It's a compact space with limited seating, but adds to the coziness with the smell of freshly baked pastries. Love the addition of the large glass window panes that look directly into their bakery. The familiar sight of an assortment of pastries welcomes you on your left when you walk in. Little handwritten signs naming each pastry. Prices aren't listed, but they typically range from $5-7. The selection changes depending on which ingredients are available/in season, so there's always something new to try! The employees were patient and helpful in helping us make a decision, since everything looked so good. The two pastries we got were amazingly laminated, flaky, and delicious. I can tell the quality is held to the same high standard as their flagship store. Already off to a great start, will be back!

    It was fun to wake up Saturday morning to explore Clifton and stop into Two Seven Two!! My favorite item by far was the Twice-baked Pecan + Oat Croissant. I'm not a huge Pecan person, but found it DELICIOUS!!! I find that the bakery is easy enough to meet someone and hangout in-- assuming you do snag one of the three tables! Since the selection felt so limited (not sure if it was a time-of-day-or-always thing) I probably would go to/ try some of the other amazing bakeries in DT Cincy before coming back again.

    From the makers of brown bear bakery comes Two Seven Two, new to the Gaslight District of Clifton. I have yet to go to Brown Bear but have heard great things, so I had to check Two Seven Two out! The shop is VERY tiny, tucked away near Skyline. There are only 3 tables for seating so plan on getting your coffee and pastries to go unless you get lucky and someone leaves when you arrive! The pastries are very unique flavors which is something that always draws me to a place. I grabbed: Raspberry Five Spice Croissant Raspberry Bostock Sourdough Focaccia with tomatoes and cheese Coriander & Lemon Poppy Bun My favorite was definitely the focaccia. It is a bit like pizza when you heat it up! The raspberry jam in the croissant was amazing but for me the five spice flavor was a bit too overwhelming.

    It smells delicious and to have sweet and savory options is amazing!!! Had a pastry party with coworkers! Oh yeah get the CCC cookie!!

    Two kimchi grilled cheese pastries, a raspberry chocolate dessert, and a chocolate pastry

    My roommate picked up some pastries from Two Seven Two last Sunday and let me tell you, these are some of the best pastries I've had in a long time! The kimchi grilled cheese pastry was the perfect savory bite, while the raspberry and chocolate pastries were perfect for dessert. I will definitely be going back to check out the bakery in person and try more of the delicious pastries!

    Quaint little bakery with the most unique baked goods! It's a small space so you're more likely to get to go but so worth it. Will be back!

There's something about coffee and meaningful connections that captures the heart of a place, and Rohs street Café did exactly that! Just a few minutes' walk from my hotel, this café was the perfect morning find. The minimalist design and warm wood tones create a clean, inviting space that highlights the charm of the old architecture. The bookshelves, comfy seating, and local art add such character--it's the kind of place where you can relax, study, or just enjoy the buzz of community. The menu is impressively diverse, offering bold flavors and creative options. I absolutely loved that they serve coffee in real mugs--it makes all the difference and gives that "home away from home" feeling. The staff was super friendly, and my latte was perfectly crafted--smooth, rich, and beautifully presented. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this café is a must-visit for your Cincinnati adventure. I'll definitely be back next time!

Drinks are well done, recommend any type of traditional coffee. Enjoyable place to spend time and grab a cup of coffee. Parking is on the street, a little limited but plenty of streets near by.
