This is a comfortable cafe with delicious coffee and pastries. I had a cappuccino and split two of the toast creations - strawberry & raspberry with whipped cream and lemon zest, and banana & Nutella carmelized. Both were prepared to order by the chef. We will be back! read more

Maybe I am starting to become too easy a grader or I am getting lucky picking places to visit but these guys rock. Daniel was great. Great coffee conversation as well as a great environment. Stop in here. You won't regret it. The coffee was top notch as was the chocolate tart. FANTASTIC! read more

Everything you'd want in a coffee shop. I've spent a lot of time in Columbus, Portland, Denver, etc but not in Cincy. Traveling through last week and found this gem in OTR. I ended spending the better part of a Sunday here. Started with a great pour over coffee and 'toast.' The toast took a few minutes to they were super nice and gave me a free cookie. But the toast....wheat bread, beets, deviled eggs, sirarcha sauce....one of the best meals in months. So 30 minutes later I ordered another one. Got some work done and took a cold brew to go. Great location, beautiful interior and awesome products. Next time I'm in town for work this will be my first stop. read more

Cute cafe w beautiful drinks but super slow WiFi. Good place to hang out and grab coffee, not so much for studying and getting work done

Wonderful people who work and run this gorgeous little coffee spot. Cold brew and dark chocolate pistachio croissant are my go to!

My wife bought me a bag of Urbana Cafe house blend at Urban Cheese Stead and I've been hooked ever since. Excellent coffee. During the pandemic they also have free delivery (within 24 hours) of freshly roasted beans in the Cincinnati area. read more

Read all the great reviews and thought we'd give it a try. It's a cute little shop with minimal seating. The staff us friendly and helpful. I had a Caffe Shakeratto. It's cold espresso shaken with sugar and mint then served in a martini glass. The flavor was all right, but it wasn't much espresso for the price. My fiance had a Caffe latte. It was good but nothing special. We shared a blackberry scone and it was delicious. read more

Charming little cafe with great ambience. The staff was super friendly and even offered a treat for my dog who proceeded to vacuum it down. I got a cortada at the recommendation of the barista and it was delicious! It was light but also had the punch of an expresso. I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for a cappuccino, which was amazing! Fast service and very, very friendly! Super cute decor. If you're in the area, you must stop in here for a coffee. Some nice sweet treats to choose from as well. read more

It's probably the best coffee that I had in a very long time. Wish I could come here often! The chocolate pistachio croissant is DEVINE!

Cute, dog friendly cafe! I've been drinking Urbana's coffee for some time at The Coffee Exchange in Pleasant Ridge, but am so happy they have a brick and mortar now. This past weekend, a couple of friends and I stopped in after brunch next door at Nation Bar and Grill and we weren't disappointed. I got a pour over and my friends got hot chocolate and a vanilla latte. All were great, and everyone working there was enthusiastic and friendly to boot. And for those remote workers out there, Urbana Cafe has a lofted area with some workspaces! I'm thinking of bringing my pup and making a day of it in the near future. read more

This place has become my favorite Sunday ritual. The atmosphere is great, the food is beyond delicious and the coffee is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and get the ham & cheese croissant with a mocha... or if you're really hungry the Via Roma with a smooth nitro. You won't regret it! read more

Great local neighborhood spot with amazing coffee, including hard to find cortados, and wonderful homemade shortbread cookies! Daniel and Elizabeth are wonderful! read more

I've been once and it was pretty good. A nice cafe ducked off in Pendleton with a cool atmosphere. I was less than impressed with my coffee but really it could've been the way I ordered my drink. The staff were super cool and helpful. I got some sort of open faced strawberry lemonade toast. That was delicious read more

A shotgun style, three story building transformed into a modern, tasteful cafe. The building itself is listed on Sanborn maps as far back as 1891 (as a "store") so it's a seasoned location for business. Upon entering, you'll notice the exposed brick walls leading up to a high ceiling, Edison bulbs hanging over 4-seater tables to your right, the large service counter to the left, and a raised seating area directly ahead of you and up some stairs. The front windows are floor to ceiling, so on a sunny day the entire cafe is flooded with natural light and feels fresh. You can see where lateral beams were once embedded into the upper half of the walls and ghostly outlines of other features no longer attached to the brick; the entire place feels very good. The entire cafe is small due to the narrowness of the building, but as long as it's not filled with 30 people, it would probably feel fine. When I went it, I was one of 4 patrons, so it didn't feel too small. I went in looking for food and coffee and only ended up buying coffee. Their menu board behind the counter didn't appear to have food listed, so I didn't ask about it. The coffee was nice (although I'm no coffee snob). I got the distinct feeling the man serving me knew coffee and knew what was good. Urbana Cafe feels deliberate and refined. People living on upper Broadway have a great option for morning coffee. While it's a bit far for me to casually walk there from my apartment on 4th street, I will make an effort to go again because I feel like it's worth walking to on a pleasant day. Give it a go if you'd like a change from Coffee Emporium, Collective, or any other shop in the CBD and OTR. read more

Walk to this coffee shop all the time. They are super nice and cortados and cappuccinos I've had there are excellent. It's a great place to get some work done. read more

Great coffee shop and amazing flavors. The toast bar is a must try with great sweet and savory options. Good place to grab a coffee and treat. read more

Great vanilla lattes and scones. They've created a great space that's super comfortable to hang out and catch up.

Stopped by Urbana Cafe this morning with my girlfriend. The coffee was awesome and we got some gourmet breakfast toast. The cafe was very lively this morning so we asked to sit with another couple and had some great conversations. Definitely an awesome start to the day with Urbana! read more

Urbana Cafe - Blackberry donut, vanilla latte, berry toast, and Carmel latte; all fantastic! - Cafes Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Went in with a friend for a Sunday morning coffee. Unfortunately we had to get our drinks to go because there was no where to sit. The service and cold brew is amazing. They share an outdoor seating area with Nation -- but they get preference over seating. We took our drinks to go but still enjoyed them! read more

Fantastic spot - super charming, great lattes, toast bar is rock solid - highly reco the pesto avocado toast. Yelp says I should I write more but that's all I got. Chill spot. Come here. read more

I would really give this place 3.5 stars. Cute decor, great location, locally-roasted coffee beans But...they don't know how to make a cortado. It's on their menu..but they don't have the proper-sized glass for a cortado so what they end up giving me has way too much milk for my taste...I feel like I can't taste the espresso. Disappointed, but may try again in the future if I get sick of going to Collective Espresso. read more

A lovely quaint place !! Some coffee and a munchie and the spot is perfect !! It did remind my husband of the little cafes we have visited on our road trip in California . Great place and love the sweet breakfast options they have in store . read more

Urbana is just good times. Their storefront is only a 4 minute walk from Main street. Most of their delicious pastries they bake fresh in-store. The only downside is that there's not a lot of seating, so be sure to get there early. Great vibes for sure. The staff is awesome and the service is excellent. Their espresso is amazing. I typically get the iced almond milk latte. Also, they're dog-friendly, so don't forget your pupper. read more

Be careful. This coffee tastes real good. Real real good. I get the Americano pretty much every day. Love the pastry so much, I got some for a clients birthday and it impressed. Great group of friendly and competent employees. read more

Best coffee in Cincinnati! This is our favorite neighborhood spot for coffee, breakfast (check out the toast bar on weekends!), and other delicious treats. Super friendly staff, and an all-around delightful experience. read more

I was a little disappointed in this place. Went with my husband and we were both really excited to try it out! The toasts and coffees looked amazing from what we had seen on social media and online. We had to wait a really long time to get our peaches and cream toast, which was okay because it was quite delicious. The latte, however, was disappointing. They were out of almond/cashew milk and only had regular or soy and the vanilla latte was just mediocre. The vibe and location are great, just wish the coffee would have been better! read more

Love that Urbana opened up a store outside of Findlay market! Their location is cozy and inviting and as always cappuccino is delicious. They've added some "toast" which we had the Nutella banana which was delightful. Everyone should try Urbana to see how harsh Starbucks is. read more

The best coffee in a cozy setting. Pastries are delicious. The pour over is fantastic. Great service.

Love Urbana! Great coffee and incredible house made pastries. The scones and banana bread are to die for!

The best espresso I've ever had, and the pastry chef there makes brilliant scones! Orange chocolate chip, coconut lime, and even savory ones like sundried tomato and basil. They're all amazing read more

Had such a grand first time at Urbana. This Saturday I scheduled a meeting there for one a change of scenery compared to meeting at campus and two to immerse myself more in OTR since I live on Liberty (I know I'm giving more info than needed just bear with me a moment). It was an abrupt walk to location. I didn't even realize Nation was right beside this establishment (so now I know where to go for an upcoming meeting with them for their iconic Sunday brunch). It was lovely. I had African Sunshine tea which was just majestic wonders in a cup and although their iconic Raspberry Poptart was M.I.A. they had a Blackberry one (I was like if it's not Ralph, I don't want it...like sure USPA is nice but in words of Kanye, it ain't Ralph doe). The barista recommended I get the banana nut bread with salted caramel which I did. That was majestic wonders on a plate. The in-house chef Elizabeth is outstanding and such a sweetheart. I got to know a bit of her background how from California (what I say the cooking Mecca) she came to Cincy (the dark house of cooking people sleep on). Dan's awesome too. We exchanged contacts for a project on campus is to create a nifty café/healthier food option. I told him concern of how to properly go about this. He assured me a few matters and informed me of NewCo. So I look forward to picking his brain more and coming here more for additional meetings I'll imminently have (for all their treats look so amazing I gotta try them). read more

I love coming to Urbana in Pendleton to get some work done or to do some reading. Great location and coffee (still need to order one of the great looking pastries). What really sets them apart is how friendly each of the baristas I've met is. read more

ADORABLE space. I had an espresso and the pound cake with caramel--WOW, both were delicious. I was hoping to try the savory toasts but they were not available when I went in. I will definitely be back! read more

This place is awesome. I felt so at ease my first time there. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I had no idea what to order. They suggested some items to try. I chose a ginger tea and it was fantastic! read more

One of my favorite shops in Cincinnati by far. The staff is always friendly and sociable. They allow dogs which is always a plus. The cappuccino I had was commendable. Their pastries are spot on, with their chocolate/orange scones taking first place in my opinion. It's very clean and they're very good about cleaning the dirty dishes and not letting them sit out. Overall just a great place to have coffee. read more

Love this place! Peaceful atmosphere, friendly faces, great coffee.

Charming place but I was not impressed by the food. More of a place to relax and hang out than actually enjoy food.

Great place to take a girlfriend for a quick date. We had a lot of fun here. Great atmosphere and a big drink selection. Cant go wrong.

Great aesthetic, and I even saw a woman bring her dog in. Super calm environment, and even better coffee. The employees are super sweet, therefore I will definitely be revisiting. read more
