Cafe Continuum
1405 Vine St, Cincinnati, OH
Crema's Take
“Cafe Continuum is a thoughtfully designed Cincinnati gem where the matcha drinks are genuinely exceptional and the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome the moment you walk in. Beyond the standout matcha and creative specialty drinks like their pistachio milk baklava latte, they've nailed the slow-cafe experience with killer pastries—their olive oil cake is legendary—making it the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to every weekend.”

Amazing delicious coffee and matcha drinks. 10/10 olive oil cake and yogurt parfaits. Awesome interior design. Highly recommend.
What a great cafe, super charming, the design was obviously well thought out and the drinks are top tier quality. The Matcha is amazing, I heard someone talking about it and it's generally my favorite, so I went with a hot Matcha + Pistachio milk and it was incredible. Gotta be the best in the town. Will be back very soon.
Warned outside the place by a customer that the matcha was bad. Went in anyways and got a baklava latte with pistachio milk and it had no flavor at all so they either didn’t add any or it was very weak. Went back to ask for more syrup and they were super nice about it. The coffee made my tummy hurt like it was made with cow milk and not the pistachio milk I ordered. Coffee was just alright too. The service was the best part of this experience.
From the moment I walked in, I immediately felt at ease being warmly greeted by the staff. The inviting and thoughtfully designed interior made me feel like I could truly take a breather from the hustle and bustle of the city. As a customer, it’s clear how much care and intention went into every detail — from the buttery yellow walls to the wide variety of unique pastries and drinks. I especially appreciate that many of the pastries at Café Continuum are sourced from local bakeries around Ohio. I love how Ericka emphasizes supporting local businesses. From the homemade syrups to the house-made chai, the café has a personality all its own. The staff are not only helpful with any questions, but they also treat one another with such kindness and respect that it genuinely radiates through to the customers. I highly recommend the iced chai, the iced cherry-raspberry matcha, and as for pastries: the spinach-feta croissant, the quiche, and the rose-pistachio croissant are all fantastic. Café Continuum is truly a gem in the heart of OTR!
Phenomenal! I’ve been coming here every weekend since they opened, and the quality and consistency has been top-notch every single time. Amazing matcha and green tea, the chai is actually something special too, make sure you try it. There is something magical about the space, the vibe is good and optimistic, the people in and around it feel happy. I love being there. I think it has something to do with the more analog throwback vibe and fact that people aren’t buried in their phones or laptops- they’re talking with each other and meeting each other. I’ve met a lot of cool people here and grateful for that. Very happy we have this place in Cincinnati.
