Iris Book Cafe
Coffee shop in Over The Rhine | 1331 Main St., Cincinnati, OH 45202
Self-described as a “locavore’s delight”, the Iris Book Cafe offers a locally-sourced food and coffee menu in the heart of OTR. You can always grab a quick cup, but I have a feeling you’ll want to stay awhile to take look at their walls full of vintage books and art exhibitions. And don’t miss their outdoor patio when it’s warm – one of the best hidden gems in the city!

Wyoming Community Coffee
Coffee shop in Wyoming | 434 Springfield Pike, Wyoming, OH 45215
Wyoming Community Coffee – or WyCoCo as locals call it – is one of my go-to spots to meet a friend, grab some lunch, or hang out and work for a bit (sometimes all three!). Beyond coffee, there are events and meet ups of all kinds, from live music to knitting and game nights. With such a warm atmosphere and handcrafted menu, it’s easy to see how it has quickly become an integral part of Wyoming.
