The Scene – Remember the days before designer lattes were the rage and coffee purveyors weren't on every corner? Highland Coffee House was in business then and it remains a mecca for Cincinnati coffee mavens to this day. It's also a good place to come alone to read the paper and warm up with a Guinness or spiked coffee. The Highland draws a lot of University of Cincinnati students, especially late at night, but adults, especially professors, like it too. – – The Menu – The menu is limited but good, with a heavy emphasis on vegetarian sandwiches and salads.

Great Atmosphere

This is a great place to chill and relax. The weeknight server, Jay, can be kind of slow with refills, but if you're just having a cup of coffee, refills are self-serve. WiFi is now available, which means if you happen to need a good place to study, this may be it. The neighborhood can be a little sketchy, so don't leave your car unlocked. During the winter, the coffee house tends to be a bit chilly, so you'll want to wear a sweater. Winter hours are from 5pm - 2:30 on week nights. Friday nights are really busy - almost like a popular bar. During the summer, the back patio is open and is a nice place to (perhaps) have a date - if that's what you're looking for. Overall a great place to go.
- Pros: Ambiance, Wireless Internet, Quiet
- Cons: Slow Service, Chilly in Winter

Correct the hours
by CoffeeBob at Citysearch
Highland is a great coffee house, but the listed hours of 5 am to 1 am are way off. I just called at 1:30 pm on a Saturday, and they said they don't open until 5 pm today.

oh yeah!

The Highland Coffeehouse is actually open 2pm to 2am, contrary to the hours given by citysearch. It's a great place to go hang out with a couple of friends or get some work done. It's the type of place where a lot of people go alone, so you can feel comfortable going solo. The prices are pretty good, and Jay (the weeknight server) is a really cool guy.
- Pros: atmosphere, friendly people
- Cons: wait for service
