Over-the-Rhine (OTR) is a walkable historic district in Cincinnati, Ohio located just north of downtown. Established by German immigrants in the 1800s, it’s believed to contain the largest collection of 19th-century Italianate architecture in the U.S. Back then it buzzed with 17 breweries and hundreds of saloons; now it’s the center of the region’s independent food and retail scene, with dozens of locally owned restaurants, shops and drinkeries to try.

This coffeehouse hybrid owned by Joanna Kirkendall and Daniel Souder offers something for everyone at any time of day. Grab a seat at the bar and lose yourself in a seemingly endless selection of coffee and wine. Try a blind wine flight if you’re feeling adventurous or get buzzed in more ways than one with a coffee cocktail like the Rye Chai with Bulleit Rye. Light bites are also available, and there’s live jazz on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
