Throughout Cincinnati’s eclectic neighborhoods, you’ll find a number of cafes, diners, and bars that are as welcoming as they are delicious. We shared some of our favorite family-owned diners, and even we managed to overlook this neighborhood cafe in Norwood. Indian Mound Cafe is a charming cafe by day and a vibrant gathering spot at night, and it’s definitely a place everyone in Cincinnati should try.
The Indian Mound Cafe has actually been a staple in Norwood for decades, but it’s now under new ownership and it’s a great time to check it out.
