Crema's Take

Tucked away in a quaint, welcoming space, Bitter Sweet is a crepe destination that doesn't take itself too seriously—the owner's warm hospitality transforms what might seem like an unusual setting into an unexpectedly delightful gathering spot. Their coffee is bold and balanced without bitterness, and it pairs perfectly with both their savory creations like the western omelet and sweet indulgences like the Nutella strawnana, all at remarkably affordable prices. Whether you're stopping by for a full breakfast or lingering over matcha tea and conversation, this is the kind of place where the genuine kindness of the owner-chef makes every visit feel like you've discovered a well-kept local secret.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Service was great although it did take some time to get our food. The food was pretty good but I wish there were different syrup options avaliable. The taste of real maple syrup can really enhance a dish. Our group got a mix of savory and sweet crepes, smoothies, and coffee. I…

Okay this review is a long time coming. This place one of "The BEST" in Cincinnati for crepes. They serve both sweet and savory. They also serve amazing coffee. We've tried both sweet and savory, I prefer the savory, western omlete if you please. However my children enjoy…
