    Cloudy kind of day with a gentle drizzle and we decided to take a walk to Bean and Barley, coffee and tap room on Obrineville. Beautiful homes on Obrineville and we commented and admired the homes. Was very surprised how lovely and spacious the interior was. Lots of tables inside and the patio and in the basement. Been open for 5 months. Nice art inside and very tastefully done. I ordered a Mocha and Joel a regular coffee. Owen who works there and 4 other jobs, and a musician was so lovely to chat with him. I would recommend this place very highly. Come on over and support young entrepreneurs. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

    I just moved down the street form this coffee shop / bar and it is quickly becoming my favorite place to work or hangout and have a beer. There are plenty of outlets located near seating so no need to fight for "the power". The outdoor patio and multi-floor layout give you plenty of options for seating. Lots of great coffee drinks (Including spiked coffee drinks... not on the menu but if you ask they will make you one) and a rotating tap with great local beers. Last but not the least, the staff is really friendly and helpful! If you are in the area and want to grab a coffee or looking for a place to grab a beer with friends B & B is your one stop shop.

    Stopped by for the first time earlier today, and I was pleasantly surprised. This place has some more "basic" coffees and drinks, but there are some really good drinks such as Jesse's Chai. The employees and owners are very kind. I have to stop by more often.

    3 stars for now.. Came here to have a meet up. Did not order any food so I cant really rate anything of that. But it did smell really delicious. The drinks were plentiful, but the tap water was divine. Hope to return & give the menu & drinks a good try. also the crowd all look to be soft spoken, friendly & inviting. Pull up a stool kind of friendly.

    Delicious coffee from a small variety of roasters with a spacious seating arrangement and bar. I appreciate the large tables that allow small groups to collaborate over that cup of coffee or allow one to spread out a little bit with papers and such. The quiche from O Pie O was also a nice touch to go along with that cup of coffee. I could see myself trying different roasters for their pour overs and espressos and spending some quality time here.

    Cute little place by my parents' apartment in Cincinnati. Stopped by to have a pint of beer on a hot, late afternoon. The server let is try a few things before we decided and he knew something about all the beers listed. What we ordered was delicious. And... the next morning we went back for coffee!

    We stopped in on a steamy Saturday and enjoyed the cool air inside and fast service! We enjoyed our food and drinks by the front window but explored the various spaces in this shop as well. Lots of options! The coffee and danish were excellent. The barista was particularly friendly and we really enjoyed our visit. We’ll be back!

    Great place to grab a coffee and get some work done on your laptop! Big tables and plugs! Great oat milk lattes

    Cool and relaxing atmosphere. The barista that helped me was courteous and efficient. However, I did notice that he have the women in front of me a little more attention than myself, but I suppose that's human nature. He answered my questions and outbidded me with a good cappuccino. I would user something with a little more coffee next time. I would return to have my wife try one of their specialty drinks. They offer non-dairy alternatives for specialty drinks and their menu is small, but inclusive. You will definitely be able to find something that suites you.

    Great atmosphere and staff. A great place to get some coffee while working and grab a drink afterwards.

    When devising their "Neighborhood Bar" marketing campaign Applebee's set up envious slideshows pictures of Bean and Barley. You're always one sauce toss away from a good time.

    Every time I’ve gotten a drink with espresso it tastes like water. The coffee is good though.

  • 5/5 kevin q. 1 year ago on Google
    Always great. Coffee is high quality. Drinks made well. Consistent and great service from folks who enjoy what they do.

    Very good coffee in a very poor paper cup and lid. Great that you want to be "environmentally" friendly, but this cup and lid sucked. Leaked at the seam and paper lots would stay on the cup.

  • 5/5 Terry B. 1 year ago on Google
    A fun, friendly, little place. The bartender was very kind. We enjoyed the sounds of the old time music jam downstairs.

  • 5/5 Nathan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent atmosphere. Definitely a place you can spend hours in. Great beer selection too. Could use a larger food menu but they do have both salty and sweet options.

  • 5/5 Mark H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, double outside patio's ready for nice weather. Good draft beer selection, some cocktails and amazing friendly staff. Good for quick coffee run, work days remotely in coffee shop, or happy hour drinks.

    I had the best decaf Americano I've ever had in my life here this morning. Very delicious! Not a bad price either. Give it a visit. If you can tolerate the yuppy hipster millennials acting like their beards, their jogging and their jogging outfits are saving the world while chatting up the barista about marathons, then give this place a visit. Also, look out for the snooty O'Bryonvill-ians who act as if living close to Hyde park automatically allows them to be snooty. Ugh.

    Came in for an afternoon coffee with a client. Atmosphere was friendly, clean, laid back. Plenty of room inside or outside for business conversations. Bathrooms for customers were clean. Mocha was foamy and smooth and not too sweet. Nice location.

  • 5/5 Joseph H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic spot for a brew whether it’s brewed coffee or brewed hops. Enjoy sitting at a real hardwood counter and top level service. One of Cincinnati’s hidden gems, but we are flush with amazing coffee shops. I used to come in here on my way to or from work in O’Bryanville.
