BLOC Coffee Company

This is an amazing business that not only has great drinks and food, but they also are giving back to the community and supporting some great causes.The shop itself is amazing to meet in. Whether you come by yourself to work or read or if you are with a friend or if you come with a group. They have two levels and some meeting rooms. I really enjoyed on the second level there's this little cozy are in the corner. The whole shop is very warm and cozy.

My sister and our friends stopped in here Monday after lunch to grab coffees before heading back home from our girls weekend. Staff were friendly, but oddly pushy about a coffee club/rewards card (pretty sure it was free, so it makes it more weird) despite us all coming in as a group and individually letting them know we aren't from the area and don't know anyone who could use it.All 4 of us were excited to see the French toast latte they had on the board by the register, but upon tasting it we all felt it didn't taste anything like French toast, which was a let down. I currently have a sore throat, so I had also ordered a hot tea in hopes that by the time I was done with my coffee the tea would be cooled down enough to drink and then I'd also be able to have another warm beverage to drink on the drive home. My plan worked out perfectly, but sadly the tea I selected tasted strongly of hand soap and was incredibly unpleasant to drink. It felt great for my throat, but after each sip I had to drink water to help flush the taste out. I ordered a jasmine green tea and have never had that issue before, so I'm not sure if it's just the brand they use or what.The inside was very clean and they had plenty of tables to sit and work from or catch up with friends. They also had an upstairs area for more space to set up camp for a while. The decor was very in your face about how faith-based they are as a company, they even had bibles sitting out on the ledge you pick up your drinks from, so definitely not for everyone. The bathrooms were clean for a couple of girls from our group that went while we were there.

As I visit Bloc for first time, I found out that it had been here since 2007. And have been supporting women in Cincinnati who are escaping sex industry and addictions. I'm so glad I took a chance and try this coffee shop out today. The employees are totally sweet and courteously. The space is decked out with Xmas spirit. Not only that, they have all type of art displayed for purchase. The food and drink came out great! I order a matcha latte, and it was really a Matcha Latte, not all sweeten like all other stores. The only Con is the street parking, but so far with all the Pros, I'm coming back again soon for sure

I had noticed this coffee shop on a previous trip over here for dinner. I had a day off, and decided to give it a try. Ordered their old fashioned French toast with a side of bacon, and their peanut butter pie latte. First, the latte - very nice, subtle peanut butter flavor. Doesn't slap you in the face. I really liked this. While I was waiting for my food to come out, I had time to check out the vibe of this place. Good music selection playing in the background, not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. Plenty of seating. The building sits on a corner, so plenty of natural light coming in as well. Chill vibe, I dig it.Finally, the food. They make their French toast using challah bread, which is a favorite of mine. It was delicious. The side of bacon was a nice serving as well (4 pieces).Really enjoyed this shop, will definitely come back!

Great drinks wonderful menu. The service was quick and my coffee was so good. I had their cold brew. Great little shop. Great views from the second floor. They feature art and photography for sale.

Perfect casual ambience for a casual meeting or a small family. Service is nice and the place has a chill vibe. Small menu of food was available but we only wanted coffee for this visit. We will definitely try the food in the near future. There was live music, which is always a plus in my book!

Food, service, ambience are all spot on as well as a major component & hub of community building in this price hill neighborhood.

Food, coffee, the staff!!! We love this place it gives you "where everybody knows your name" vibes . Great place to work, meet up with friends or just have lunch . A plus is they have breakfast all day

I had known about this place for a while but never tried it until today. The latte I tried most excellent! And the barista was very pleasant to talk to. The food looks good but sadly, I was in a rush this morning and didn't have time to try it. It looks like a delightful place to sit and read. Or perhaps to catch up with good friends. I will certainly be coming back to explore more of their menu.

I love this coffee shop! Whenever I'm in Ohio, I make a point to stop by BLOC, specifically for the Romano drink, which is a blueberry oat milk latte, aka the best beverage I've ever had.Recently, I tried their oatmeal and it was superb. None of that instant nonsense from a packet, this was the real deal, topped with pepitas, craisins, and my request of brown sugar. Their bagel sandwiches are also tasty, as are their cookies and other pastries items when fresh. I love the old building, how eclectic it is, with items from local artists for sale when you enter. The upstairs is also quaint, available to rent for gatherings, and other times fun to relax, sip coffee, or even a different scenery to get work done in. All of the natural lighting is beautiful upstairs, too. Part of the proceeds go towards ending human trafficking. Coffee with a cause? Yes please!
