    Walked in and immediately was hit with the smell of fresh brewed coffee. Very spacious cafe to work at during the day.

    Super cute cafe in Downtown Cincinnati. This was in walking distance from my hotel so I decided to check it out. The interior is modern and colorful. There's plenty of seating available and a few different areas so that everyone isn't right on top of one another. The service was friendly and helpful when I asked questions. I had a tremendous flat white with vanilla. It was perfectly balanced and tasted amazing. They use two shots of espresso in all of their drinks. I also had the original breakfast sandwich, which had egg, cheese, and sausage on an everything bagel with Dijon mustard. The sandwich was delicious. Who knew Dijon mustard could be so good on a breakfast sandwich?!? The only draw back was the WiFi. You HAVE to give an email address, which I don't like. And after 3 hours I was kicked out! When I tried to go back in it said I had used my daily allotment. So don't plan to stay and work here for a full day. This would have been pretty annoying had I been in the middle of something. But luckily it was a good point for me to pack up. The noise level was moderate. There were people there filming some type of interview and chatting, however with headphones in, it wasn't too loud and I was able to get work done and focus

    Very good and quick service. The coffee was very strong. I got a caramel latte and am not sure if caramel was actually out into it. Cute location

    Urbana is the perfect quaint little coffee shop to meet all your needs. I frequently take business meetings here because it's quiet enough to hear each other and it's also family friendly. There's something on the menu for everyone, and their seasonal flavors are my favorite!

    I went to the Findlay Market to explore the local hidden gems. Suddenly, this little lovely cafe seized my attention. Since it was late afternoon, I ordered a decaf latte with oat milk (sorry for messing up the options to make it even not like a "real" coffee lol), and the taste was impressive! The baristas were friendly as well. Grabbing such a warm cup of coffee in rainy days is always amazing. :)

    I came here with some friends for birthday! It was so fun! The vibes walking in were so good upon entrance. It was very trendy and made for a great place to take cute photos. The baristas were really kind, but service was a little slow since it was only 2 of them and we were a bigger group. Not a complaint, just an observation and a note that it's not the best if you're in a big rush. My friend got a croissant that I tried, it was very good and flaky. I got a blueberry muffin that was delicious! Overall would recommend!!!

    Vanilla latte with almond milk

    LOVED this coffee shop in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. I was in town for work and Urbana was steps away from my hotel, located inside of the Atlas building. It was easy to find and once inside, I stepped into a funky, modern, and spacious cafe. The vibrant rugs and wall mural definitely added to the atmosphere, which is totally a vibe I can get into. The music was rather loud but I did have headphones so I was able to tune into whatever music I was in the mood for. They also have electrical outlets scattered around the seating. Thank goodness because it wasn't long before I needed to juice up my laptop. I got a lot of work done during my stay and I can confidently say that the wifi was strong. Placing my order was a breeze, but it did take the barista a good ten minutes to get to my drink. I went around 9am, which I'm sure is a busy time. The ladies behind the counter were putting in work and by the time I was settled in at a table, they were calling my order. I went with an iced vanilla latte with almond milk and a butter croissant. The croissant was pillowey on the inside, with a light crust on the outside - perfecto! My latte was also delicious. When I asked if I could get my water bottle filled, they were happy to do it. Very grateful for that. No need to waste another cup. I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I catch myself back in the neighborhood. Five stars all around.

    Love the atmosphere of this location! So beautiful with the gold, vintage chairs, cool furniture and spaciousness. They had a decent amount of cushioned seating which is actually rare in coffee shops these days, so I really appreciate it as someone with a bad back! The staff is also very friendly and engaging. They have good coffee and snacks, and I believe this location had a section of grab and go foods as well. If you're looking for a place to hang downtown near the Aranoff and Fountain Square, this is a great location.

    Really cute coffee shop with quality coffee. The cappuccino was delicious and I'm always appreciative of coffee shops that serve in real mugs/cups. I'm tired of drinking out of paper. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that they don't carry imitation sugar at all. Which I find really odd for a coffee shop, luckily I usually carry my own supply with me just for these types of situations.

    No Wifi! Deal breaker. I love the atmosphere but avoid attending when I need to complete work. I would be a regular if they added wifi!

    Ambiance is a 4, very obvious it's the community place to gather. Seating is available at the bar…read morewhere there are baked goods like biscotti, mini muffins, chocolate chip cookies and banana bread are on display. Or you can be seated at a table in a large open dining area. Very community conscious with a ramp for wheelchair to get from main hostess area to the dining area. I was seated right away. 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.

It was tough to have a conversation across the table. The food was a mixed bag. We enjoyed the French toast and bagels, and the mujadara had good flavor - a smidge dry. The tuna, which was supposed to be medium-rare, was overcooked and dry. The service was subpar. While a staff member (manager on call?) cleaned a table next to us, she accidentally sprayed one of us and their food with cleaning solution. We mentioned it to her and she apologized with no offer to replace the food. Our waiter was kind enough to agree to replace the food at our request. The previous staff member who sprayed us brought out the replacement food and rudely served it to us with attitude and without utensils. We had to flag another waiter down for utensils. Mistakes happen but the handling of this situation left a sour note on our celebratory brunch. We expected better service etiquette from Cafe Alma but left really disappointed. I hope management reviews how incidents like this are handled in the future.

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!
