Bad Penny Coffee Company

Nine barista, good name story and fun view of the baseball stadium right outside the building.

The owner makes some great espresso drinks, really takes care that he’s pulling good shots. Best of all, they’re open early for the work commute. Only reason this isn’t 5 stars is that his wife doesn’t seem to share his need for quality so I don’t get a very good drink when she’s there :

This used to be Kitty's Coffee. Not much has changed besides the name. It's in the lobby of the Atrium II building, Downtown Cincinnati. I had the Cafe Mocha. It was good hot with plenty of flavor.

I frequent Kitty's Atrium location, even though I work in a nearby building that has a coffee shop. It's worth the walk. Since March 2020 I've been very disappointed in most coffee vendors. I don't understand how they can serve cold coffee that's supposed to be hot and somehow not notice that it's cold. Or not understand that coffee that's been sitting for hours tastes terrible. That just doesn't happen at Kitty's. The coffee is always hot and tastes fresh, and it's good coffee. The service is friendly. If you're downtown and have had hit and miss experiences at other shops, I recommend you try Kitty's in the Atrium.

A little slow, but you shouldn't be expecting Starbucks speed. Lots of different latte flavors. I had a nice afternoon pick me up.
