Bad Penny Coffee
221 E 4th St, Cincinnati, OH
Crema's Take
“Tucked in a striking atrium with views of the baseball stadium, Bad Penny is where Cincinnati office workers and game-day visitors find meticulous espresso drinks pulled with real care by an owner who knows his craft. The space manages the rare feat of being both a quick-grab spot for the morning commute and a genuinely pleasant place to linger, with plenty of seating that invites you to stay longer than you planned. Open early for the workday rush and housed in a thoughtfully designed new location, it's become the kind of neighborhood spot people plan their commute around.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings.

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