Their selection of baked goods never disappoints, and I find myself constantly drawn to their spinach feta croissant -- a true masterpiece. Impressively, Blackbird's pastries are also available at select coffee shops around the city, like the Rising Star in Tremont, adding a layer of convenience for their fans.

“amazing!!!! the espresso is such an amazing blend, it isnt acidic at all. the goat cheese rosemary scone is divine I cannot wait to go again!!! amazing flavor options and the spring drink creations are unique and delicious! the environment of the place is gorgeous“

“Such a cute place! The food and drinks are delicious. The staff is courteous and kind. It's a small place, so it can get crowded, and a bit noisy, and street parking is at a premium. But it's well worth a visit. Also, nice to support a queer owned business, which gives back to its community. Love you guys!“

“My new favorite Cleveland coffeeshop! Warm, cozy, open decor, excellent service, delicious coffee, crepes & smoothies. Perfect place to study, read or chat with a friend. To the person who took care of me today--a special thank you for making my day worthwhile!“

“I LOVE the vibe of this place. It smells warm and inviting , like a warm hug and a fresh cup of coffee ☺️ the barista was very kind, and the place was nice! Not too crowded. Was able to do some reading in between eating the super good blueberry muffin ☺️ it was delicious and filling ! I’ll definitely be coming back and definitely recommend if you want to just relax or study or have a lil coffee date. It’s the perfect lil café ?“

“I’m not sure if the employee had an off day, but my friend and I weren’t greeted at all when we came in, when we went to the counter and looked at the menu and when we made eye contact with the employee to place our order. He still didn’t say anything, not even “welcome” or “what would you like?” I had to be the one to initiate and ask how his day was. So that was a bummer. Then we ordered. The food and drinks were good though, we both had sausage burritos and coffee. The place was clean. My friend and I stayed for an hour and a half. We parked in the public lot next door to the building which was convenient!“

“I can't remember if I've left a review here before, but these guys are fantastic. I went there once a couple years ago and found that they stock my favorite tea, and since I live far away I've been ordering from them ever since. I ordered a bunch of tea for shipping today (like maybe two hours ago) and they've already packed it up and it's awaiting shipment. Everything always arrives promptly and perfectly, and often with a sample of some new and interesting blend. Great quality tea, wonderful service. Love this place!“

“First time to Kava when we met some new friends there. The barrista explained all things Kava to us and gave us samples. We picked out drinks and really enjoyed them. Cool vibe, comfortable couches and chairs, good music. We will definitely go back to hangout.“

“I love this place!! I ordered an iced coffee here with oat milk in the Summer time and it was delicious ?The young man who served me was really nice too and I love the Bird town neighborhood in Lakewood Ohio!!Vegetarian options: Non dairy optionsDietary restrictions: Non dairy optionsKid-friendliness: I saw lots of games on the the shelves, if I remember right ?“

“The food tasted good. And I had a pleasant interaction with a fellow traveler behind the counter telling them how delighted I was to find out that coconut water mixed well with espresso. I was happy to see the potential in becoming a repeat customer as well. The openess or lack of "stuff" inside the space really drew my attention to the drink. A place to go clear your head and chit chat“

“The Root Cafe' is an absolute gem of a vegetarian eatery in Lakewood, Ohio. Five stars across the board. Terrific drink and menu options. Wonderful service. Don't miss a chance to dine here if you're in the area. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: the chefs in the kitchen are able to give your dishes highly nuanced flavor profiles that, depending on dish, can be enhanced by slowly building heat ( just enough ) that give the flavors an extra pop!“

“We stopped in to the Burning River while on vacation for the weekend. While the coffee and tea we had were amazing it was the service that really blew us away. The barista was extremely friendly, went over the menu of specialty drinks with us and even joined us for a little conversation when he had a moment. For the extremely excellent service alone I would recommend the burning river, but let’s not forget about the coffee and tea. It was amazing.“
