This place is perfection. Staff are so kind and friendly, and even made an effort to get to know me when I was a local Xavier student. The pb toast is INSANE, and I love the non coffee beverages. I will be a forever customer here.

Cream + Sugar is a charming, out of the way spot with easily the best iced chai in all of Cincinnati. I'm incredibly picky when it comes to chai, and this one is uber creamy and sweet. Worth the trip!

Yelp, you did it again! I was driving through town and needed some coffee and a snack before I continued on my journey to Columbus. After a quick search, I found Cream + Sugar. Several people I know personally had left glowing reviews, so I knew before I got there that I found a gem. I arrived to find a super cute coffee shop on the corner of the street. There was free parking right outside and the entrance was surrounded by beautiful potted flowers. There were giant windows that offered a glance inside and immediately after opening the door I heard two kind voices welcoming me. The walls are a vibrant blue with colorful paintings of Black women hanging above a seating area. On the other side you'll find the menu on giant chalkboards above the barista station. As someone who regularly works out of coffee shops, I felt inspired here. If I had time to hang out, I totally would have. Other patrons had the same idea, as they had their laptops open and were typing away. I ordered an iced lavender latte with almond milk and goodness was it delicious. Lavender is my favorite and I'm always excited to see it on a menu. I also got a buttered croissant, which was just what I needed to hold me over until I got to my final destination. I have no doubt that one day I'll visit this coffee shop again. It's Black-owned, clearly supports local artists, and has a food menu that I was itching to try. All things that I love.

Cute corner coffee shop with delicious food and drinks (coffee and non-coffee options available). Private parking lot around the corner, simple, delicious menu, open seating area inside with great music to for coffee shop vibes. Natural light was perfectly displaying local artist's work and local events/ brochures on the table as you walk in. Only had about 15 minutes of time to sit and it was perfect for enjoying a honey pepper & goat cheese toast with my watermelon cucumber mint refresher. the toast was packed with flavor was a perfect mid-morning snack. My boyfriend got a vanilla latte - I tried it, but unfortunately didn't get to taste it much since it was so hot. I ended up burning my mouth - so just beware - it needs about 5-10 minutes to cool off with the lid off so you can enjoy the latte. Overall, cute place, chill vibes, definitely involved in the local community (love that), and great toast!

Everything they serve is wonderful. I choose this coffee shop for work meetings so we can eat, drink and handle business. Moreover, the customer service is excellent and for me that seals the 5 star deal!

I stopped in for a cup of coffee on a visit to Cincinnati first of all I love the location, the way it sit situated on the corner with the cute outdoor chairs for people to sit and enjoy the weather. I was greeted by the staff when I walked in and I love the artwork on the wall. I ordered a chai tea latte and it was phenomenal, I sat in for a little bit to work on it to do list for the week and just truly enjoyed the vibes the shop and the staff. Thank you for great visit.

Cream + Sugar is a total vibe. From the moment you walk in, you are grooving to the sounds of smooth, chill music and greeted by the servers and their welcoming energy. During this visit, I opted for the rosemary and goat cheese toast and an iced coffee. My son ordered the iced chai. My toast was AMAZING. The cranberry drizzle gave it the perfect balance of savory and sweet. My guy LOVED his iced Chai, stating it was one of the best he's had. Literally, my only request is that they add a couple of iced coffee options. That's all I will say because everything else was amazing, and I will both return frequently and highly suggest that everyone who reads this review hurries there (insert heart emoji)!

3 words: sweet potato latteDo they make the sweet potato "syrup" from scratch? Yes. Does it taste like love was added in? Absolutely. Do they let you taste it beforehand just in case? Yes and they offered that. + there's free parking next to the building. Great service, cozy environment, excellent lattes. 10/10 will go again.

Cream and sugarI love trying new restaurants and coffeehouses while traveling. This is one of the best in Cincinnati. It's comfortable, and has great coffee and cold brew. My daughter and I kept it simple today with just a small medium roast coffee and a small cold brew. We noticed they have some sugar free flavors and dairy free milk options, so we look forward to trying a fancier drink next time. There were people studying/working, but we didn't feel like we were in a library or like people were annoyed by people chatting. The people behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming.

Stopped by accident and the place was AWESOME! Service was excellent greeted right as I walked in and the staff was very friendly and helpful! As for the coffee...delicious! Would be easy to drive by the place and not notice it, but take a second and look for it! Definitely worth the stop! Great job folks!
