Crema's Take

Lookout Joe is a Cincinnati roastery that strikes an impressive balance between meticulous craft and genuine warmth, with staff who move with both speed and care whether you're ordering a traditional espresso or one of their inventive seasonal drinks like the Candied Hazelnut Latte. Their kitchen clearly takes the same pride in execution as their bar does—croissant sandwiches and pastries arrive alongside perfectly pulled shots, creating the kind of place where you can linger over both coffee and conversation without feeling rushed. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that makes you want to support local roasters, especially when you walk in and that smell of freshly ground coffee immediately feels like coming home.

Ordered for the first time this past week - love to support other Ohio roasters - even I am on the complete opposite side of the state! I had a question about the coffee, so I sent an email to the address listed on the site. I was amazed to have a response that same day- you CANNOT find service like that anymore. I ordered 4 bags - these were shipped VERY fast and delivered without incident. The coffee is OUTSTANDING. I have told several friends who have also ordered. I am so glad to have found this place- give them a shot you will not be disappointed!

I had a croissant sandwich that was fantastic! The coffee itself was not my favorite (Maple Latte) BUT it was made the fastest I’ve ever had at a local coffee shop. The staff were extremely fast and very kind. Would go again!

The staff is fantastic. All three who were working were so nice. This was my first visit. This place is great. Good vibe. Cinnamon croissant was great. My wife enjoyed her muffin. Lattes were perfect. Only negative is a minor let peeve. With iced lattes I love the shops that have the lids that you can directly drink from or use a straw. I do not prefer to use straws. Like I said. It’s very minor and personal. I’ll come here again for sure!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first time at Lookout Joe! We got their seasonal drink, the iced Candied Hazelnut Latte, and it was perfect. We both got two breakfast sandwiches and two desserts, all of that for under $30! The staff were very welcoming and friendly, we will definitely be back!

Calming atmo, the coffee is absolutely delicious and so is the tasty food. I love the baked goods they present. The smell of freshly ground coffee as soon as you walk through the door makes you treasure it more. The staff are so friendly and humble. They even have a setup for you to grab freshly brewed hot coffee as you come in. So if you are on the go this place is the spot. To the staff: Thank you for always making this SoCal girl enjoy her new coffee shop home here in Ohio.
