Crema's Take

Cinsei is a intimate, manga-inspired café where the owners genuinely make you feel like family, expertly crafting matcha drinks that inspire wishes for bigger cups and pastries (especially their warmed blueberry cream cheese tarts) that have earned serious praise. This Black-owned Cincinnati gem balances specialty coffee and traditional drinks with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that feels more like a friend's living room than a commercial café, making it perfect whether you're meeting someone or settling in for a slow afternoon.

I love me a good black owned business. The matcha here is literally so good, I wish the cups were bigger lol! The owners are super friendly. I forget their names :/ but they went the extra mile to explain evrything in detail and even offered me an alternative milk. Idk something about kindness goes such a long way. They’ve left such a good impression on me. I wish them all the best success! Side note. The matcha cupcake is TOP TIER

Best muffins Ive had in a while. The space is so intimate and welcoming. Its small but clean and open. The matcha: I'm wary of commercial french vanilla because I've found it to have an awful after taste. But the owner said they have a house made one! And it was AMAZING!!

Absolutely great experience coming into this manga Café! The pastries and drinks were phenomenal! Especially the little blueberry cream cheese tart when they warm it up! They have a few foreign rare finds as well~

I went here for the first time today after following their Instagram account awhile ago and I loved it! the owner was very nice and welcoming. The vibes and atmosphere of the place were very relaxed and calming, just overall lovely. I've never had matcha before, so I got their basic matcha latte with French vanilla and oat milk and it was great! So I can confidently say it's the best Matcha in the city. I also love anime and manga and this place has a good amount of it, they'll even order a specific volume for their customers if they don't have it in stock.

Stopped in for a treat while doing some holiday shopping in the area during Thanksgiving '25 weekend! The owners were friendly & knowledgeable, helping me decide how sweet I should order my drink. Awesome handcrafted matcha & good vibes, what's not to like!? ✌🏽
