Luminary by La Terza
6128 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, OH
Crema's Take
“Luminary by La Terza is a spacious and welcoming espresso-focused cafe that excels at specialty drinks like their standout iced lattes and seasonal creations (the Winter espresso drink has fans), making it an ideal spot to linger over coffee and food rather than rush through. The thoughtfully clean space, kind staff, and comfortable seating attract everyone from students to meeting-goers, though service moves at a leisurely pace that rewards patience over speed. While their French toast leans sweet and pricing runs a bit high, the overall warmth and quality of the cafe itself keeps people coming back.”

The Winter espresso drink was tasty. I had a french toast dish; it was very sweet. They have decaf offerings. The dining/seating area was clean. Same with the bathroom. The cook and other employees were very nice. The service was amazing. It’s a cute comfortable space and I would return here.
Always a pleasure coming here. Their iced lattes are great but somewhat lacking when I ask for extra flavor/sweetness. The staff is always nice. I tried the food for the first time (French toast casserole and ham/cheese croissant) and it was really good! I'll be returning, as I already do. Also, I love that the bathroom has a changing table with diapers. Very considerate of moms and babies.
I love this place. Yes, it used to be very cute and Christmassy when it was College Hill Coffee, and I miss that very much, but I can’t hold that against the new place. This place is very cute, welcoming, big for a coffee shop, has cute art and a small area of merch and art/jewelry/candles you can buy, and has great flavors for lattes. I feel very cozy every time I’m here. Great space for working, and free WiFi
This place is huge & adorable. Staff is very kind. The husband likes the coffee & my London fog is good too! This would have been a great place to study when I was in school.
$16 for an egg sandwich and cup of coffee. Had to wait about 15 minutes which isn’t the fastest for morning service so if you’re in a rush don’t bother. Staff was nice, service slow. Let’s talk about the dried up, deflated egg thrown on a toasted Kroger muffin with a thin slice of cheese and some sauce. How on Earth is this $8?! I took two bites and wanted to vom- no taste just a rubbery feeling in your mouth. Super mad I had it to go because I would have returned it. Threw it away- bye $8- McDs does a better job and for less… wouldn’t recommend and won’t go back. The place is also very ‘empty’ or at least feels a little quiet and empty. The $7 coffee wasn’t worth it either. I can find the same or better for less at any coffee joint. Disappointing and I miss the old College Hill Coffee Shop where $16 could have fed 2 people for breakfast.
