Analog Coffee Bar

This is the best coffee shop/bar we’ve ever been to! We wandered in here this weekend looking for a regular coffee to go and were greeted by the “slow bar” barista and given a totally different experience! Analog uses some amazing locally sourced ingredients and the barista working the bar is so hospitable and informative about what he’s serving you. We had two of their seasonal drinks as well as a sample of their nitro cold brew and they were unreal!

This place is great! I highly suggest trying the coffee bar, as the "culinary geniuses" (as my mom would say) are extremely nice and passionate about their coffee. Definitely come here with some friends for a new experience and talk to the baristas, the atmosphere is always positive.

If you like coffee and cocktails, this. is. it. It's located inside Carabello, which tbh, is kind of mid in comparison. (I got drinks from both.) I took a quick snap so don't judge based on that alone, the flavors were so nicely balanced and the barista clearly knows his craft.

Unique craft coffee cocktail bar. We've been looking for a place like this! Their drink menu changes every six weeks so you always have a new and unique experience. The baristas were knowledgeable and provided good conversations on how the drinks were made. We will be making the hour trip just to come back to this place! Coffee cocktail bar open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Please go, you will love your experience.

Love this place and such interesting coffee. Really well done menu of unique seasonal coffee drinks made by knowledgeable baristas - thx!

One of my favorite coffee shops in KY💛

Best coffee experience I've found in any city.

Best experience ever at a coffee shop! The bar manager was super awesome, friendly and helpful. The coffee was the absolute best I’ve ever had. I definitely recommend the tres leches capp. I can’t wait to go back!

A great coffee experience like no other!

Loved the atmosphere here. Coffee was so good!

Only legit coffee bar I've found in the Cincinnati area. It's just like it sounds. They will make you custom drinks, give flights of espresso shots, whatever you want.

They are super friendly to all whether you know nothing about espresso or a whole lot.

Seasonal mixed drinks, 3 types of pour overs, chocolate bar rexommdations to pair with your drink, it's all there!

It is the same business as Carabello Coffee and shared the same building, but is a whole different experience! You gotta check it out.

There is one electrical outlet on the ground if you sit at the right end. Bathroom is gender neutral and clean. Tons of natural light at the bar. Curated music from a record player while the Analog coffee bar is open.

For the uninformed, this is a hyper-craft sub-brand of Carabello Coffee. Check out Carabello for more info.

I've been to 25+ counties and this is my favorite cafe I've been to.

Update (2024): I have been visiting Analog for many years. Aside from special events, it has always possible to just walk up and order a drink. I tried to visit recently and had a very poor experience: when I attempted to order, my order was refused and I was told I would need to "book a reservation" which required waiting over 45 minutes to order one cup of coffee (???). I cannot imagine any person in their right mind that would be willing to do that. The customer service here used to be good...

Asking people to "make a reservation" to order one cup of coffee approach is just absurd... there is no other coffee bar in the city that acts so self-important. It's such a bizarre thing to do for a business to turn away customers while the barista is standing there idle.

I saw this happened to multiple other confused customers while I was there too. Analog used to be so fun and exciting — instead, this newfound pretentiousness is annoying and exhausting. I won't recommend it to people like I used to after this experience. It's sad to watch something that was once so fun start to act like it's suddenly a Michelin Star restaurant... it's a cup of coffee, it's not that serious... a barista can easily make more than 6 drinks per hour...
