One of the better random car treats youll find on a Saturday morning.

Stop..... Read..... You will get a good coffee at a great price here..... Then theres the massive parking lot that seems to attract every freaking car club and motorcycle group on just about every Saturday and Sunday.... The cake and cookies are good to!

Its a fun cars & coffee location. They have some baked items as well for sale. The coffee is average but the atmosphere on Saturdays is what makes it taste so good.

We go for our love of cars. The coffee is just average and they have little options for people who cant have coffee.

Loved the older cars and those built.. old school at heart. Younger people taking off in parents cars, a bit dangerous

Limited selection of coffee, but what they do make is extremely good. Glad they are hosting cars and coffee!

I started coming here when it was Fuel Coffee several years ago. Went with some friends and had a great time. It was a common occurrence on a Saturday morning to come out with my car and sit and chill, talk with some people and just chill out. I was deeply saddened when I heard Fuel was going out of business and closing the location. However, I was very glad to hear shortly after that Tabogo had moved in and would be keeping the location going. They did some updates to the interior and freshened up the look. I was there for the opening day and the crowds still seem to come which is good, thats the big draw of this place for me. Dont get me wrong the coffee is good but its not why I go, Im not really even a huge coffee person. I think its good stuff though and isnt overly sludgy like Starbucks tends to be but it also is not just coffee scented water either. I havent been around since COVID started, just trying to avoid the crowds since were still in the middle of this stuff, but Im glad theyre around and seem to be doing well. You might consider popping in off-peak times during the week. Definitely have nothing bad to say about this place. Its great and we need more small coffee shops like this.

This is a place where regular coffee tastes better with a mix of car histories. I usually go there with my AE86 to meet other rare cars. It’s a good place for car photography because the morning sun usually renders this area in a bright and warm tone. You get both cars and motorcycles here. There is a overflow parking across the street if you come in late. It’s not one of those large gathering but interesting things will pop out very often

One of the cutest and best coffee places I’ve been to. I wish it was open late after school sometimes or longer on the weekends Incase I wanted to sit and do work there. No complaints at all because I know the workers have other things to do!!!(: I could live off of this coffee for days because it’s so good. I crave it now. It’s very authentic and has great flavor. Love this place!!

One of my favorite places for quality Cafe food. Visited about four, it was not full. Definitely worth a return visit. Prices are appropriate.

Stopped in after some day drinking. Tried a Cuban coffee and it was good. Took a seat by the window and relaxed for a bit. The guys working behind the counter were very friendly and accommodating. The place is much bigger inside than it looks. Plenty of tables/seats and very clean (including the bathroom). They have some unique coffees here. Im used to Tim Hortons and Starbucks so the variety was appreciated.

Love this place. We always come during the weekend for C&C and its so cool that theres always a dedicated group there. Coffee is good and the pastries are AMAZING (and theyre handmade)! In warm weather they have cholados which are something else, really delicious. Definitely stop in!

I cannot give this place any higher an honor. This place is great through and through. The owners are great people and love their customers. I feel like they would give their shirt off their back if they felt the need. They have a great group of people that meet up on Saturdays with their cars and have a cars and coffee meet up. This place is amazing. Plus they have great coffee, some pastries and biscuits and gravy. I love this place from the bottom of my heart.

Got drinks to go. They were hot drinks but they were only a little warm. Maybe they forgot to steam the milk or something? Not a fan of the taste either. 25 min drive to the coffee shop on Sunday and was excited to try their fruit/cream drink. Turns out they only serve it on Saturday.

Delicious coffee, and great baked goods and snacks too. The Infusion Casera (House Brew) is a delicious dark roast, that is well balanced. The owner, Alex , is super friendly and the place is in a great location along Kellogg for a lot of commuters. I definitely recommend it!

Sad that Fuel is gone, but so happy that Tabogo is here! Wonderful staff, delicious coffee and snacks! Be sure not to miss a trip here every Saturday morning for some cool rides (all makes and models).

Review №39

The coffee is EXCELLENT. Comparing it to Starbucks, it is a little less expensive but tastes like it should cost twice as much. The employee (presumably the owner) was very personable and talkative, and the other customers were really nice too (I know you cant really review on that, but something mustve made them happy).

I drive by this place every day on my way to work, and have only recently stopped to get my morning Fuel. I will definitely be making a habit out of it. The owner is friendly, the coffee is awesome! And the unique twist with cars makes them stand out. I wish I didnt work Saturday mornings so I could check out their Coffee and Cars! I will definitely be back. =D

Review №41

The people you meet here are all friendly .Cars, motorcycles, late and new models. American and foreign, old and young. The coffee is great and you can even get a biscuit with gravy, or a doughnut. Its every Saturday morning till noon. A great place to meet new people and visit with old friends.

Review №42

Its the perfect place to stop in the morning on the way into town. And the service is great... it only took me two visits before I had a nickname, which only goes to say that its a small, local business that appreciates their customers and wants to get to know them. Thats a great thing in my mind.But dont go JUST because their a small, locally owned business. Go because they have great coffee!

Review №43

A wonderful local coffee shop that appeals to motor enthusiasts with their fun and interesting theme. Fuel coffee hosts a cars & coffee event every Saturday morning which is essentially a local car show where locals bring out their antique, rare, unique and exotic sports cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc. You can have some coffee, food and experience some rare vehicles and good people. I enjoy making this my regular Saturday morning event.

Review №44

A dulce de leche and a piece of pumpkin bread were the perfect way to warm up on a cold morning. With delicious Colombian coffee and pastries, a beautiful view of the changing colors in the hills along the river, and owners who are friendly and welcoming, this is the perfect place to have a unique cafe experience in Cincinnati!

Support great local businesses like Fuel Coffee as often as you can. Great coffee, food and service! Swing by any Saturday morning and enjoy Cincys original Cars & Coffee gathering of all things motorized, four wheels or two!

Review №46

The owner we met is very friendly. The coffee is sourced from Colombia and roasted in house. We tried both of the signature drinks (a dulce de leche coffee and a cholado fruit juice drink) and they were both AMAZING. Will definitely be going back!

Review №47

The Coffee is just ok. Ive stopped here twice in the morning and it took way longer than I wanted it too. Two dudes were just hanging out distracting the barista which drives me nuts and then they got her all flustered when she couldnt get the register to work right. All of which could be forgiven if the coffee was great, but it wasnt. I havent tried the espresso so their coffee drinks could be good.

Review №48

This place used to be the best place to spend a Saturday morning. And then the tuner clubs showed up and scared a lot of the older owners away who actually had great classic or supercars. Its still a great cup of coffee, but lost its original luster.

Review №49

One of the hidden gems in cincinnati. I wish there was a way to bring fuel back to life but they have now permanently closed. This place had a huge impact on me with their cars and coffee event and I always made sure to buy coffee every weekend. You will be missed, Fuel.

Review №53

Always good. The B&G, biscuits and gravy, is pretty darn good. The Saturday morning Cars and Coffee is always interesting.

CR
Review №54

Lots of gravel in the road due to their weekly car shows. Drivers are a nuisance and unsafe when they leave, drag racing up and down Riverside on nice days, risking lives of the many people out enjoying the day. Owner refuses to clean gravel up after and has expressed dislike towards runners and cyclists.Politics aside, Coffee is decent but line is slow. Go somewhere else. there are other better options.I only come here to watch the memorial day fireworks in the parking lot now.

Fuel Coffee Cincinnati.... Epic place to go throughout the week, but for those of us on the wilder side, Saturday morning is where its at. Im talking epic coffee, delightful scones and muffins, hot and fresh biscuits and gravy, and oh yea, the car scene. If you ever wonder, who gets up at a quarter past 6 in the morning to drive 45 mins for a nice hot cup of coffee? Well, the answer is this: Truly loyal, honest, and always cool car guys(and myself of course).You never know what youll see at this morning to noon meet. Everything from imports to muscle, exotics to motorcycles, wild customs to tasteful restorations, it has something for everyone. But wait, theres more, buy now and you to can enjoy this friendly atmosphere where everyones welcome and willing to chit-chat or even teach young or newbies to the car scene to follow their passion with their car. The best part though, will always be the coffee. Locally owned and operated, the staff here is always kind and courteous to their customers, allowing any and all coffees on the board to be served hot or iced.Not only that but they are also very understanding of the car crowds that get drawn in. As car enthusiasts though, it is our job to help Fuel Coffee Cincinnati to remain one of the best coffee shops and car meets in town. Til next time, RayneOkami.
