17 Best Cafes in Cleveland

“basil syrup, fresh black pepper, olive oil sound wonderful together. But in a coffee? It will surprise you and delight you! Coffee alone is a strong flavor, so it stands to reason that strong flavors like black pepper and a good olive oil would work with it. The basil syrup is a nice sweet note, a little subtle for my taste, but we’re here to be bold, and this adventure is worth taking. The croissant, so perfectly buttery and crispy all at once is heaven paired with a pistachio butter and marmalade; a worthy accompaniment to that singular coffee.“

“Super comfy boba cafe with a great variety of combinations and selections! Loved Mito's Moon Juice and tasted amazing! It is one of their most gotten items and I would definitely recommend it. Will definitely be coming back to try the variety of snacks as well!“

“Wonderful brunch on the patio, food and service were both excellent!“

“The coffee and service were great, but unfortunately the baked goods were not. My son and I each got a lemon poppyseed scone, and they had a strange taste. They didn't really taste like lemon at all, and I couldn't eat it. We took our order to go or I would have said something. I would go back for the coffee and atmosphere.“

“OG Biscuit is Delicious!!“

“Delicious coffee. I get my beans here every month and the coffee in shop is always brewed to perfection.“

“In search of a diner in Lakewood, Ohio, I discovered this establishment. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. There were so many choices on the menu! As a first timer, my friend and I settled on the Chorizo Tacos and Breakfast Quesadilla. We added a blueberry muffin. The muffin was grilled--absolutely amazing! The food was prepared to order and exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a delicious spot for breakfast/brunch--this is it!“

“Thank you for supporting the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and making this an event for ALL to celebrate!“

“We stopped in for lunch and it exceeded our expectations! We ordered a ham sandwich on focaccia bread with potato, broccoli and cheddar soup, and the Claudio sandwich with white bread. It was all spectacular! The story of how the shop started was also sweet to read inside the restaurant. We will definitely stop here again next time we are in the area.“

“Qi’s Cafe for the win! I stopped in for breakfast and was seriously impressed. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor—you can tell they care about quality. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the customer service was a perfect 10/10. Everyone was kind, attentive, and made sure I had what I needed.

Definitely one of the best breakfast spots around. I’ll be back for sure“

“Had dinner here on a Tuesday evening with my mentor. The service was amazing, our waiter was great, the food was delicious 🤌🏻 The atmosphere was a total vibe 🎶 10/10 recommend!!“

“I love this place. The coffee is excellent. However, the last time I was in here, I asked for a cold brew and I asked them if they could do a cold foam like Starbucks. The way this man looked at me, like I had just committed murder. Don’t make people feel that way, A lot of these type of coffee shops do the same thing.“
