Brown Bear Bakery’s pastries vanish so quickly that showing up early has become a neighborhood ritual in Over-the-Rhine. Locals know the almond croissants and seasonal Danishes won’t last past mid-morning, so the line forms before the doors even open. The vibe is friendly and the anticipation is real—everyone’s got their eye on the pastry case, hoping to snag their favorite before it’s gone. The staff is always ready with pairing tips, and the coffee is just as thoughtfully crafted. Have you ever missed out on your go-to treat because you arrived too late? What’s your bakery strategy? #Food #CincinnatiEats #BrownBearBakery
