Such a cool spot! I needed coffee and this was one of the first spots that was recommended. The coffee was delicious!! I was on a schedule so I couldn't stay long but when I'm in the area, I'll be back.

This was my first time checking out black coffee lounge and it was such a cool and unique experience! The service was exceptional as everyone I had encountered was very endearing and polite. It gave off such chill vibes as music played throughout the building and the workers were singing, dancing, and having a good time all while keeping up on their orders. There are some very intriguing art pieces on the walls to look at too! I ordered a swirl latte which was steamed milk with caramel and dark chocolate and I added oat milk to mine. It was very delicious and the perfect temperature! I also had a chocolate muffin which was delicious and the opposite of dry for those who hate the "m" word 10/10 recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

I coffee shops if you can't tell if you follow my adventures. This one doesn't disappoint. I'm always looking for a cozy place to work from most of the time. This place fits that. Super nice staff and great vibes. Four stars for me because im not much for coffee flavor itself the other stuff in it is what makes me happy like white chocolate mochas. Caramel lattes etc....the flavor just wasn't there for my caramel latte, it was bitter with lack of the caramel flavor. They may have the best coffee you have had if you are the black with a little something in it. Give it a go!

Needed to warm up and get a caffeine fix after a cold wait in line for sneakers. I had seen Black Coffee Lounge features on the Yelp Cincy Instagram page and knew I wanted to give them a try. This would be the perfect place to sit, work, and ppl watch while just taking in the vibe. There's tables to be productive and couches to chill. There's definitely a hip hop vibe throughout the whole shop, from the "It Was All A Bean" sign in the window to the music playing. I am a sucker for a lavender latte and theirs is definitely top 5. The staff was great about offering suggestions and they were super patient when I was being indecisive.

Short & sweet review to highlight the many wonderful things about this coffee shop. The location is great, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the coffee is made with care. It's pretty easy to find street parking nearby, since this shop is on the corner of Elm and Ninth. I stopped here to work remotely for a few hours on a Thursday, and I would definitely come here regularly. There was smooth R&B playing, which totally amplifies the creative, community vibe this place has. I love the wall mural and the decorative art that highlight Black culture. The prices are also right on ... I ordered a "Woah Latte" and a bagel with cream cheese, and spent about $10. The barista was extremely thorough, asking what type of milk I preferred, and how to spell my name. I also love that they feature desserts from Sweet Petit! I'll definitely be back to the intersection of Community & Culture very soon!
