About Bow Tie Cafe
Cincinnati’s Home for Intelligentsia Coffee & Local Flavor
Bow Tie Cafe has been a coffeehouse and wine bar in Mount Adams, Cincinnati since 2010. Alongside expertly crafted coffee, we serve fresh, thoughtfully prepared food, a curated selection of wines, and handcrafted cocktails. Built on quality and community, we’re here to serve more than just coffee — we’re here to serve a neighborhood we love.
Why Intelligentsia Matters
We are proud to be the only café in Cincinnati pouring Intelligentsia Coffee daily. Considered one of the finest specialty coffee roasters in the world, Intelligentsia sets the bar for quality, sustainability, and craft. Every cup is brewed with beans sourced from direct-trade partnerships around the globe — and served right here in Mount Adams.
For us, carrying Intelligentsia isn’t just about coffee. It’s about offering Cincinnati a coffee experience that rivals the best cafés in Chicago, New York, or LA, while staying true to our roots as a locally owned, community-driven café.
OUR COMMUNITY —
Locally Rooted, Globally Inspired
- Fresh Sixteen Bricks bread, baked locally and loved across Cincinnati.
- Seasonal and local ingredients that support makers in our community.
- Curated selections of Kilogram Tea, craft beer, and a hand-picked wine list.
