California Coffee Bar

Delicious smoothies and coffee. They are doing a great job of being a community hub, I bought a really cute print by a local artist when I was there and they have flowers by another local artist on the tables. They host clothing swaps and other community events. I'm really glad they are here!!

California Coffee Bar is a nice little coffee shop in Brighton Heights just off of the Ohio River Boulevard. It's got nice coffeehouse vibes to it and serves a great selection of coffees, smoothies, and sandwiches. I'd gotten the Denny's Fruit Bowl. Ingredients and the cream and honey mixed in were all very fresh and tasted great. (I had it to go and leveled it up with cinnamon, nutmeg and protein powder, but I promise there was nothing wrong with it as it was made!) The matcha latte was also refreshing. The women behind the counter were nice so no service issues. I'd love to try a breakfast sandwich next time. Good little place, worth swinging by (street parking only, FYI)

Cute cafe with coffee, smoothies, and great food options too! The staff was very nice and quick, coffee was also good. The Western sandwich was stacked high and the chipotle mayo really made it stand out, would absolutely recommend!

Located on California Avenue in Brighton Heights, just a short trip from the North Side, California Coffee Bar is the cutest little neighborhood shop. It’s stocked with delicious bagels, sandwiches, smoothies, milkshakes, bowls, coffee, and other tasty drinks. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with a well-designed interior and plenty of tables if you want to dine in. You can walk in to order, place your order online for pickup, or even get delivery—super convenient! The staff is incredibly friendly and sweet, making the experience even better. I tried a Blueberry Coffee Cake latte from their seasonal menu, and it tasted exactly like a fresh blueberry coffee cake—so good! I also had an Asiago bagel with cream cheese, which was fresh and satisfying. And the Acai Power Bowl was a highlight: a blended purée of frozen acai juice, Greek yogurt, and banana, topped with granola, berries, and dark chocolate shavings. It was both delightful and healthy. You really can’t go wrong here. Whether you’re stopping in for a cozy coffee or grabbing a bite to go, California Coffee Bar is a neighborhood gem worth visiting.

Ordered three sandwiches, and two of them were totally wrong. I’m very shocked by it! They forgot the egg on the Western and they added cheese to a build your own when I didn’t ask for cheese. They were also just OK - nothing to go out of my way for or get again. The acai bowl was also not impressive, I’ve made better at home. The coffee, though, was very good! I got a cold brew and my friend got a chai latte with an extra shot of espresso-she loved it.
