BLOC Coffee Company & Servatii Pastry Shop
My weekend picks for a coffee shop and bakery to try in Cincinnati are BLOC Coffee Company and Servatii Pastry Shop.
Starting with BLOC Coffee Company I had one of the best hot chocolates I have found in Cincinnati. It may not be fair to compare to regular hot chocolate because it was black raspberry chocolate chip hot chocolate. It was a mouthful to say, but it was their special flavor of the week, so of course, I had to try it.
If you have ever had the black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream from Graeter’s Ice Cream, this hot chocolate would taste familiar. It was like the barista had put a scoop of that ice cream into a hot chocolate. Anyway, as you can probably tell, I loved the hot chocolate AND it came in a mug with whipped cream. I sat at the coffee shop drinking my cocoa and finishing an amazing book. I thoroughly enjoyed that they have different, unique flavors for their coffee and hot chocolate, so I would definitely go back just to try other flavors.
After I left the coffee shop, my sweet tooth was not fulfilled somehow. I searched “bakery near me” on Google and found myself at Servatii Pastry Shop. The bakery was so close to closing time, so I knew that it was going to be slim pickin’s, but I was able to get exactly what I wanted – mini éclair and a cannoli. Both of these items were super tiny, but just enough. Although I thought the sweet treats were tasty, I want to try the other baked good they have to offer.
