Collective Espresso

Cincinnati has some of the best coffee around. When in need of a caffeine fix, head to one of these cafes in town.

1. Collective Espresso

Recommended for you

This quaint little coffee shop has locations in Northside, OTR, and another fabulous location in the lobby of the Contemporary Arts Center, downtown. Head over on a Wednesday night for free admission to the exhibits and an amazingly smooth cappuccino.

2. Coffee Emporium

Coffee Emporium has two locations, one in Hyde Park and another downtown. In addition to their signature smoky Italian roast, Coffee Emporium boasts a number of fantastic brewed coffees, as well as a cafe menu, including flavored mocha-lattes and seasonal dessert-drinks.

3. The BonBonerie

Established in 1983, this teapot-adorned bakery serves various delicious bakery items, in addition to a light cafe menu and high tea. Perfect for sunday brunching or an afternoon tea/coffee outing.

4. Cavu Coffee

Cavu's tasteful decor and friendly atmosphere make for an always-enjoyable coffee experience. Special mention for their mocha, which is made with dark chocolate. Decadence actualized.

5. Sitwell's

Sitwell's is eclectic and vibrant, located on Ludlow Avenue, in the heart of Clifton. With a number of vegan/gluten-free food options and an amazing bakery selection, Sitwell's will most definitely satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, caffeine cravings, or really any cravings for that matter.

6. Roh's Street Cafe

Roh's Street Cafe is definitely one of the gems of Clifton. It is a popular University hang, as it is a perfect place to study, read a book, go on a coffee date, etc. Roh's also features local talent, quite frequently, for music nights, spoken word, etc.

7. Bloc Coffee Company

Bloc Coffee Company is a tiny, adorable little cafe in the Price Hill area with a friendly vibe, excellent espresso/brewed coffee, study space, and Jazz Night on Tuesdays. What more could you ask for?

8. True West Coffee

The beautiful star-shaped paper lanterns are True West's statement decor piece, featured on countless Instagrams. This two-story coffeehouse in Hamilton is so serene and cozy, you'll never want to leave.

9. Om Eco Café

This quirky café is located on Ludlow Avenue and is definitely a Clifton favorite. Not only do they have great coffee, but also fabulous breakfast/dessert menus. So you should definitely go hungry. Om also has a giant, awesome, squishy L-shaped couch that is dangerously comfortable if you're actually trying to get work done. But it's perfect for reading a book and enjoying an espresso con panna (basically the drink-version of a tiramisù).

10. Kidd Coffee

Kidd Coffee & Wine Bar has two locations, one in Mason and one in Hyde Park. The atmosphere is upscale and elegant, with the added bonus of the bar, in addition to the coffee menu. Kidd Coffee is also known for its wide selections of deliciously sweet lattes and blended drinks. Definitely a place to visit time and time again.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
