Crema's Take

Bean & Barley is a cozy Cincinnati gem that's earned serious love for its exceptional matcha and thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks, drawing a loyal crowd of laptop workers and coffee enthusiasts who linger in the inviting, uniquely designed space. The late hours make it a rare find for evening coffee seekers, and the attentive service pairs perfectly with an atmosphere that genuinely encourages you to stay awhile. While their pastry program has shifted away from house-made options in recent times, the quality of the drinks and the welcoming vibe keep people coming back.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late.

I've only been here once, so far. It's a decent-sized space inside, with lots of outlets, WiFi, and chairs with backs and cushions. There's also plenty of patio seating for a nicer day. Drink-wise, the plain latte I had was 10/10. The espresso/barista quality speak for…
