Servatii Pastry Shop Symmes

cincinnati's specialty coffee scene has been quietly building for years, concentrated mostly downtown and in neighborhoods like over-the-rhine, but servatii pastry shop on montgomery road in symmes township is proof that good coffee travels north. the symmes corridor is suburban in the straightforward sense, strip malls and traffic lights, which makes a place like this more useful than you might expect. if you're out in the 45249 zip code and want something better than a drive-through, this is where locals have landed. servatii has held up a strong local reputation, and that kind of consistency in a suburban spot isn't common. it's a pastry shop too, so your mid-morning coffee has somewhere to go: something baked, something worth slowing down for on montgomery road.
