Bow Tie Café

Founded 2010 by former Cincinnati Bengal Dhani Jones, Caveh Azadeh, and NiKo Grammas. Named for friend Kunta Littlejohn who said "If you wanna be somebody, you gotta rock a bow tie"—when Kunta was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, they created Bow Tie Cause supporting Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Managing Partner Heather Turner (Mt. Adams resident) joined 2013. Only café in Cincinnati pouring Intelligentsia coffee daily. Fresh Sixteen Bricks bread. Casual bistro fare—breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch. Three-tier patio is dog friendly. Coffee-inspired craft cocktails. Steps from Eden Park, Art Museum, and Playhouse.
