Bad Penny Coffee

I shall tell you the tale of an office worker on the hunt for a delicious cup of coffee. Every other week I report to the office in Covington. Luckily for me there was a cafe across the street from the office. This allowed me to support a small owned business and get a flavorful hot or iced drink in the morning and still be on time to work. One day without notice the cafe was closed. For sale sign outside the cafe and no explanation. Heart broken and distraught I didn't think I'd be able to get a morning coffee again. There are no other cafes close enough to the office for me to get coffee and arrive to work timely 😭. Then, with the help of google, I found a new place in downtown Cincy not far from government Square. But for shame! On this particular day I went they were closed! I went to the next closest location because there's a few of them downtown. That one had a line of about 10 people 😩. By this point I was cutting it close to missing my bus and gave up on my hunt for coffee. I walked to the Tank bus stop and as I waited for my bus to come I saw a group of people come out of a building and everyone had coffee in their hands! I got so excited I ran across the street and into the building like a mad woman (passing the bus I was supposed to catch to get to work on time 😅). And this is when I discovered Bad Penny Coffee Company! My life has forever been changed! The Iced Honey Lavendar Latte is delicious but that Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte? Heaven sent!! 🤤

Stopped by on the way to the reds game for a coffee. Not a traditional coffee shop but the atrium was beautiful and has plenty of seating options.

Nine barista, good name story and fun view of the baseball stadium right outside the building.

The owner makes some great espresso drinks, really takes care that he’s pulling good shots. Best of all, they’re open early for the work commute. Only reason this isn’t 5 stars is that his wife doesn’t seem to share his need for quality so I don’t get a very good drink when she’s there :/

The service is fast and great, convenient, new location, nice and cozy. Best of all, they had some really nice coffee
