Viva Coffee Roasters

Viva Coffee Roasters is in a small house with blue shutters and a porch across from a park on Madison Rd in Cincinnati. Gerardo, who's from Honduras, is usually there and happy to talk about the coffee. The roasters are in view. Downstairs is small, and seating with outlets is upstairs. Saturdays are busy, so come early. Parking is on the street.

The apricot cardamom latte is a favorite. There's a hazelnut cappuccino and an iced lemon poppy seed matcha. For food, try avocado toast, caprese toast or gluten-free blueberry bread. They offer subscriptions and events.
