This is an amazing University area indie coffeehouse, it really is. But.. the hours really stink. Especially for being in an University area.But great staff, good coffee, and definitely a place you can camp out and read, work, or socialize in..

The coffee was excellent! It was so smooth, creamy, it tasted really well. The coffee was strong but it wasn't overpowering. Absolutely the best coffee in Cincinnati! We'll definitely be back!Omg their sleeves have the most awesome messages and they are all different.Such a cool place! Love it!

Out of about fifty coffee shops I've been to around the country, this is my single favorite. Perfect atmosphere, kind baristas, great music, and pneuma coffee is fantastic. The only thing they could do is add a few more pastry/bakery options. I absolutely love this place. Will be sad to not have the 86 when I move to LA.

Hands down the best coffee shop in Cincinnati. They roast all of their coffee in-house and partner with other local small businesses and artists for their food, decor, and shop. The two-story location has a lovely outdoor patio as well as plenty of seating for studying and socializing. Their hours are also great for students and locals alike to grab a coffee both before and after work/school.

First time visiting, friendly staff, nice ambiance and great coffee!

It’s cool !!! ?but kinda plain, boring, it’s not the right style for the place; it’s still really nice and the atmosphere is there; just not with the style it has so far. Not being mean at all. It’s my opinion you need to bring a different crowd of people,friends ,family and so on. You really need the right crowd n it will take off like no other!!

My favorite coffee shop in the UC area. I got the bottomless pour plus a chocolate cheesecake muffin (they have a good selection of breakfast bites and you can also bring in food from the deli next door or other places). No problems with their free WiFi. Lots of seating including upstairs and a nice patio out back.

Dropped in here after a long time and loved it! The vibe is great and they have plenty of seating areas. I was served by Brennan, who's one of the nicest Baristas I've met!

Literally one of my favorite places in the world. I go to UC and I’m here almost every day. They are able to provide a nice little space outside of the chaos of campus, and the workers are also extremely nice. Also I’m a coffee fanatic but their coffee is the best coffee I’ve ever had. I recommend their lavender latte or a drip coffee.

Always have stellar customer service and hands down the best coffee in Cincy. It’s a bold, rich flavor, with a perfect balance of cream and sweetener. Nothing comes close to the 86.
