I honestly probably just had one of the best sandwiches Ive ever had in my entire life, now Ive only had the delivery but good God that sandwich just hit different. It was the green goblin, now Im kinda picky about veggie sandwiches but let me tell you, every flavour hit perfectly, it was truly effervescent.

Ive been to this cafe a dozen times in the past, amazing coffee!! But I called ahead today, seeing if seating indoor was available. As someone one who recovered from covid a few weeks ago, I understand every single precaution. I was told that seating was available on buying a coffee. I arrived (a 20 min drive) and was told this was incorrect, that Id have to buy a ticket for a wine tasting. So I did, and bought my coffee as well. Was treated extremely poorly, was informed and consistently reminded that the seating was for the wine tasting only (because I had my laptop, I seemed very conspicuous apparently). Will not be returning, considering my fiance and I purchased two coffees and two wine tastings, youd think Id be welcomed but apparently I was a nuisance. The owner is NOT friendly. Will not be returning.

Wonderful little Cafe in the heart of the Westside. Friendly staff and awesome drinks made by great baristas. My visit was during pandemic, so its take out only but so very much worth the stop in 😊 and why not grab a bottle of wine for later? 😉

Beautiful place! Personal favorite so far is the sam n lox morning melt (smoked salmon, avocado, goat cheese spread on ciabatta with pesto mayo) - absolutely scrumptious! Oh, and the chai tea is great too! The mugs & plates are simple, yet beautiful and the warm colors of the place really give a cozy feel. Glad to see so many people from the neighborhood and Muse took it all in stride. They took the orders quickly, kept the line short and worked through all the drinks and food ordered one by one. Very impressed since their soft open. Really look forward to coming back each time and definitely becoming a regular!

Had no complaints honestly. I dont usually review restaurants or places, but with covid, I have started doing that in the hopes of supporting decent businesses, which this place fits the bill. First, the coffee is pretty nice, so no complaints there, but what separates this place from other coffee shops is that they have good food. One of the things that shocked me was ripe red tomatoes. Not pink, but ripe red. I cant tell you how many times I go to a restaurant and hold the tomato due to the tomatoes sucking. Coming from somebody who grows there own, I was actually pleasantly surprised.

Muse Cafe is a holistically wonderful place. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. The food is heartwarming and lovingly prepared, and the many varieties of drinks are carefully curated and served with care. They do very well to adhere to COVID-19 guidelines for running a safe business. They are providing the community with an invaluable resource, and I am very grateful to be able to benefit from their existence. I think you will be, too!

Decided to DoorDash breakfast to work this morning because I was starving, and Im so glad I did! I got a honey lavender latte and a black nbrie croissant. Im not sure Ive ever had brie before, but now Im in love with it! Blown away with how delicious and buttery the croissant is! I also thought the latte might not be my cup of joe, but decided to try something different, and I am impressed! The flavor is incredible!!! I plan to make this a regular spot now!

I went here with friends for the first time. The one friend enjoyed her sandwich. The other friend and I only got tea. They have vegan options, but since I am gluten-free and vegan, there were no options for me because they were out of salad mix. The tea was good though.

Early days but much promise! Shawntee, Stephen and Jeff may have finally found the perfect use of this property! Westwood and Cheviot have been crying out for a decent coffee shop and cafe for years now, and we might have finally had our dreams answered.Theyre still working out the kinks right now so service is a tad bit slow, but I for one am more happy right now! When it arrives the coffee, tea and food is excellent and well worth the wait.Yay!

One of our favorite places to hang out, grab a bite to eat or warm up with a delicious latte on a cold winter day! The honey lavender latte is my favorite. They offer a selection of wines, charcuterie boards, sandwiches and brunch options as well. Family friendly

I recently went for the first time and it will be on my regular list for sure. I tasted their Chai latte which was delicious. I also had the Persian latte and it was perfect for me (not wanting to much sugar in my drinks). The cinnamon rolls were also excellent.They had comfortable seating and a small game selection for those wanting to nerd out.

Stopped in for lunch with a couple of friends that love this place. The food is great, I had the Hunky Turkey Panini with a side of the the beet salad. It was wonderful and delicious! I was especially pleased with the beet salad. It is rare to order a beet salad where the beet is the star of the salad. So well done! Cant wait to come back and check out their wide selection of Coffee Drinks or look over that bottle wine list!

A nice cozy spot to enjoy a perfect pot of tea... (I love the hibiscus berry) and good paninis if you wish to grab a bite. You can even whip out a board game and have a cute date.

I just moved to Cincinnati and missed the coffee shops back home. They have some decent coffee here but a lot of the coffee shops lack space and a certain vibe. This cafe has enough space and seating areas for any type of reason. You want to sit and study, or eat with friends, this place has you covered. Next the coffee is pretty decent, and the price is very fair. I have been to some local coffee shops that charge a lot and I leave feeling ripped off because, despite great coffee, the seating/space is too small or the vibe is just unfriendly. I have to also mention that the building inside is beautiful and clean. The baristas are friendly and cool too. One of the best things about this place is that they are open pretty late. I have had the hardest time finding a decent coffee shop that stays open late, so I was excited to find this place. Overall, its nice to finally find a coffee shop with a great environment, good coffee, fair pricing, and is actually open.

I really love Muse Cafe! I only discovered it about a month ago but Im already here often enough to have earned points towards money off on some purchases. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, the lighting is great during the daytime, and the food is all delicious. Their cold brew latte has already become my favorite coffee-based drink of all time.Everyone that works here is incredibly friendly. Its not a pretentious coffee shop like the kinds youll find around UCs campus, and Ive seen people of all ages here.

So happy to finally have a place like this over on the West Side! Weve been a few times and have throroughly enjoyed everything so far. My only critique would be that service is still a bit slow even when theres only a few customers (course theyve only been open a week, so I suppose thats understandable!) and some of the items are a little overpriced. Id love if down the road they offered some options such as bagels with a variety of cream cheeses or some muffins; just a few cheaper options that would make it doable to stop in often on weekday mornings. All in all, though, we love it here and well definitely be regulars!
