Black Coffee

Need coffee? Need entertainment? Need a vibe? Try this new Cincinnati Black-owned coffee lounge. Cincinnati Black-owned coffee lounge, Black Coffee is directly next to Black-Owned at the corner of Elm and West 9th Street and is run by Cam Means, the owner of the apparel business. Cam has a great team providing wonderful food, coffee, and service. At the lounge’s soft opening, Black Coffee customers, including community members, creatives, business owners, and even Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, gathered to mingle and sip coffee. People working downtown in the Central Business District can grab a scooter and be at the coffee lounge in just a few minutes. It’s fun and on any given sunny, warm morning you may see small flocks of scooters in the area of Black-Owned Coffee. Black Coffee Lounge is that space you may run into a coworker, a friend, business associate, or even a person you grew up near. Sometimes the line is long as people can’t wait to grab coffee and exchange smiles in passing or in the lounge. This is the kind of place you can bring your laptop, pull up a chair, and work or strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and make a new friend! Black Coffee is a coffee lounge specializing in community development – giving artists in the community the opportunity to share their talents and work. Black Coffee is a place for young people to gather and share social time together; its where all the cool people go in Cincinnati. The coffee shop is open longer than a normal coffee shop – 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. For now, the menu boasts a wide variety of espresso, home-brewed coffees, like the ‘Wakanda’ blend, cold-pressed juices, and light bites, including vegan options. However, to its supporters, Black Coffee is much more than caffeinated beverages and pastries. Black Coffee features the works of two local artists each month. It also includes a stage where artists perform spoken word and sing. Black Coffee welcomes all people and is a fun place to meet new people.
