What is it about corner coffee shops that just seem to exude charm and comfort? There's such a place in Cincinnati that does just that, and while it's a favorite for regulars in College Hill, all of Cincinnati should know about this timeless cafe. College Hill Coffee Company, located on the corner of North Bend Road and Hamilton Avenue, is one of the best spots in the city to "eat, sip, chat, and chill," which happens to be the restaurant's slogan. Once you try it, you'll want to visit again and again.
Located in the vibrant neighborhood of College Hill, the College Hill Coffee Company has been a landmark on this corner for many years.
In 2006, a new owner, Tina Stoeberl, took over and revamped the shop in just a few short days and reopened to much acclaim. Her goal of creating a community gathering place has been achieved and the cafe continues to warmly greet customers every day.
When visiting, head behind the building for a parking spot, then make your way up the ramp to the back entrance.
Once inside, you'll be greeted by a colorful, warm environment that will immediately relax and welcome you.
The interior is perfectly designed for friends to gather for a cup of coffee, a family to enjoy lunch, or if you just want a quiet place to enjoy a cup of tea and a good book.
It's spacious, yet cozy, and features a beautiful coffee bar, display case of delicious treats, and an impressive gift shop area with unique gift items, and home goods. The restaurant is always festively decorated with each changing season.
Given that this is a coffee shop, College Hill Coffee Company serves a lovely selection of freshly roasted coffee, as well as a full espresso bar.
The cafe is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert and boasts a mouthwatering menu.
Favorites include the quiche, turkey chili, guacamole, and chicken salad - all homemade. The pies and brownies are also must-tries and lovingly baked in the restaurant.
College Hill Coffee Company is more than just a coffee shop; it's a friendly community gathering place where you'll feel right at home.
Whether you choose to have a quiet cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll on your way to work, or a lively Saturday night out with dinner and live music, your time spent at this charming cafe will be memorable. When planning your visit, keep in mind the restaurant is open Tuesday - Thursday from 6:30am - 6:30pm, Friday from 6:30am - 10pm, Saturday from 8:30am - 10pm, and Sunday from 8:30am - 4pm.
