Iris Book Cafè

I stumbled upon the Iris Book Café while walking through Over the Rhine a few weeks ago. Iris is such an underrated but intriguing place that I hadn’t heard of before I saw it.

With vintage books and vinyl records all around the café, it almost felt like you were sitting inside a library – which I loved.

The first time I went to Iris, I ordered a hot chocolate – that came in a mug – and a bagel with cream cheese as well. The hot chocolate was not the best, but I loved the bagel and the vibes there, so that made up for it.

I decided to try Iris Café again when I was walking around the area to have a cup of coffee while I read my book. The older, vintage décor of the café is amazing, and I decided to try coffee to see how it is there.

The latte I ordered – vanilla and caramel latte – was delicious and had the perfect about of flavors in it. I loved that it didn't taste too coffee-like, so it was just what I needed.

Iris Book Café is a quaint coffee shop that has a chill vibe to it. I’ve loved being able to be surrounded by all of the books and listen to the music and conversations near me.
