Review by Jacquelyn Wintheiser

September 24, 2024

Essen Kitchen is a delightful find in Cincinnati, despite its temporary closure. This cozy, women-owned vegan restaurant brings comfort food to the forefront!

I enjoyed their grilled cheese with a rich tomato bisque - absolutely delicious! The goddess bowl was equally satisfying, packed with wholesome ingredients. Not to mention, the walnut cake was a surprise hit, perfect for my kiddo with allergies.

Their homemade sauces and unique offerings, like the vegan bagel and lox, are a must-try. Can't wait for them to reopen! 🌱✨
