Highland Coffee House
2839 Highland Ave., Corryville
Although Highland Coffee House isn’t your traditional coffee shop (it doesn’t open until the afternoon), it does offer the same coziness with its artsy, plant-filled interior and comfy seating. This mellow bohemian spot offers a full bar alongside its coffee drinks, as well as boozy milkshakes, pie and cookies. It’s also a favorite spot among University of Cincinnati students to burn the midnight oil to study and finish papers.

These are Some of the Coziest Restaurants and Bars in Greater Cincinnati
