Independent Coffee at Its Best

by ebbok

A true community gathering spot, Rohs Street Cafe has quickly made a name for itself in uptown Cincinnati.

Rohs Street was the first coffeehouse in Cincinnati to serve Fair Trade coffee exclusively and still is the only to have 100% Fair Trade teas and chocolates as well. The coffee is roasted locally by a boutique roaster and is brewed and served with the highest standards of cup quality.

The atmosphere is fantastic with plenty of room for large groups and cozy nooks for studying or conversations. It was rated as one of the top 5 places to see jazz in the city and offers a variety of other local and regional entertainment on the weekends. To top it all off, it is a not for profit supporting local organizations with the money they raise.

I recommend their traditional cappuccino or homemade chai.

• Pros: great espresso, inexpensive, atmosphere
• Cons: , no alchohol, limited hours
