A few years ago we moved from the West side to the North East side of Cincinnati, OH. When you grow up in Cincinnati you learn that the city is divided between the “West Side” and “East Side” and you don’t often venture over to the other side. When I moved farther East I needed to find some new coffee shops to call home. Here are a few of our new favorite coffee shops located in the North East suburbs of Cincinnati, OH!
1. Mile 42 Coffee in Loveland, OH
Mile 42 is a quaint coffee shop located in historic downtown Loveland, OH at Mile 42 on the Little Miami Scenic Trail. They offer pastries, drip coffee, and of course various espresso drinks. Their coffee is locally roasted by Coffee Emporium, another Cincinnati favorite. The welcoming atmosphere is well suited for catching up with friends, grabbing a table to work, or taking a quick break while on the trail. As an added bonus- the gaps in the exposed brick inside are often filled with little paper messages written by strangers. My kids have a lot of fun reading them and writing new ones in return.

2. Lot No. 1 Coffee in Lebanon, OH
Lot No. 1 Coffee is located in the oldest building in downtown historic Lebanon, OH. With exposed brick and hardwood flooring it is a charming place to spend a morning or afternoon or just grab a cup to go while shopping. There is a deck with outdoor seating for the warm months and while the first floor offers only a small amount of seating there is ample room upstairs to sit down and relax. They offer coffee, tea, smoothies, and pastries. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/people/Lot-No-1-Coffee/100055686321577/
3. Winans Coffee and Chocolate in Maineville, OH
Winan’s Coffee and Chocolate is located in Maineville, OH. Winan’s is a self-proclaimed “coffee shop with a chocolate heart” that started in Piqua, OH and has now expanded to 19 Ohio locations. They offer a wide variety of chocolate treats including a case where you can pick out as many or as few as you want. They also offer a wide selection of coffee and espresso drinks. One unique twist is that they roast their own coffee beans, so they have fresh coffee and some flavors you may not find elsewhere such as Maine Blueberry and Buckeye Blend. I love to get a Cold Brew made from one of these flavors, but they offer a wide variety of coffee and espresso drinks as well if you want a standard latte or cortado.

4. Adesso in Mason, OH
Adesso Coffee is located in downtown historic Mason, OH. Adesso, which means “now” in Italian, offers a place to sit, relax, and enjoy coffee as well as cocktails, wines, and a small selection of food. My favorite is the Lavender Latte which uses homemade syrup made from locally sourced Lavender. They make many of their own syrups which creates a unique flavor that is hard to find elsewhere. Parking can be a bit tight but there is plenty available in the public lot across the street. Learn more at https://adessocoffee.square.site/home
5. Hometown Cafe in Loveland, OH
Hometown Cafe is located directly on the Little Miami Scenic Trail in historic Loveland, OH. It has something for everyone! From coffee and espresso, locally roasted by Deeper Roots coffee, to a wide variety of food and drink options including made-to-order breakfast sandwiches, real fruit smoothies, and cold pressed juice. You can also enjoy the local art, snacks, and treats that are offered for sale.
