Money Chicken
Money Chicken is a new spicy chicken eatery that recently opened its doors at 300 E. Seventh St. in the Central Business District.
Menu offerings include sandwiches, tenders and wings, each served with the spot's signature chicken spice — billed as both a little sweet and a little spicy.
Salads and sides are equally on hand, along with sauces like blue cheese, Buffalo and spicy honey.
Rüya Coffee
A newcomer to Cincinnati, Rüya Coffee is a Turkish pop-up coffeehouse that's located at 1805 Elm St. for a limited engagement.
The spot comes courtesy of Melissa Aydogan, who believes that "sharing a warm cup of coffee or a pastry is that rare communal activity that transcends culture and experience," according to the new shop's website.
Look for classic and Turkish coffee varieties, along with tea and sweet treats such as baklava and tahini cookies. (You can check out the full menu here.)
Chatime
New to 204 W. McMillan St. in Corryville is Chatime, which offers Taiwanese bubble tea, coffee, smoothies and more.
With locations from coast to coast, the growing national chain has introduced the "concept of 'Technological Tea' into the production process, which is simplification, standardization and specialization," explains the company on its website.
Flavors range from black tea and banana milk to grapefruit and brown rice green. (You can view the full lineup here.)
