Really a hidden gem, wouldn’t change anything about the place.“

“We had such a great experience at Candy Cloud in Willoughby! We ordered a mix of treats, including the Blended Blue Coconut Lemonade, Birthday Cake layered, and fun add-ins like Sweet Cream Cloud Foam, Sour Blue Raspberry Boba, and Strawberry Popping Boba, everything was delicious!

The Blue Coconut Lemonade was perfectly blended, super refreshing, and had that bright, summery flavor. The Birthday Cake layered was a hit too, fluffy, sweet, and tasted exactly like real birthday cake. The boba add-ins made everything even more fun.

The staff was friendly, the shop was clean and cute, and everything tasted fresh. Even the large iced water was crisp.

Overall, such a fun and unique treat spot. We’ll definitely be back to try more flavors!“

By the time I got to the counter they had my order in the register with my favorite donut in hand 🥰 they are all so amazing and they all made my Friday morning so awesome! THANK YOU GUYS YOU ALL ARE AMAZINGGGG 😍🥰🙌🏻👏🏻“

“I had never heard of Nervous Dog, but was in the area and happened to see a sign for it. Baristas are wonderful, coffee is amazing, and the food is fresh and sooo good! Definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area.“

“I love this 7 brew so much! Every time I go it’s a vibe. They always have a great playlist playing while you place your order. The workers are so nice and welcoming and they give great suggestions on what drinks to try especially if it’s your first time like it was mine. Jasmine the lovely lady with the vibrant pink hair, is always a pleasure to see. She makes the best drink combos! She made me a specialty drink which was an iced chai latte with caramel syrup and whipped cream. That was the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life! I would totally recommend coming to 7 brew in Willoughby there’s no place like it!“

“Located inside Whole Foods, Allegro is a tiny coffee shop with just the essentials that you need to start your day. Allegro coffee has been sustainably sourcing and roasting coffee in Colorado. They are committed to quality with a focus on ethical standards and environmental stewardship as evidenced by their variety of brews and paper straws. The coffee bar includes coffee and teas (hot or cold) juices, smoothies, bowls and they have a self serve organic açaí bowls. The service is fast, friendly and accommodating. The shipping carts at While Foods even have a cup holder for your brew. There is seating outside and up front. I would recommend.“

“Always a pleasant stop on our way to Cleveland. The The food is delicious!“

“I really appreciated just about every aspect of this location. Starting with the location it self. It’s right off the highway. You have the right of way through the light at the intersection so there’s no fighting traffic entering the location parking lot, then leaving there is an exit on the opposite side of the parking lot that gives you an easy out without fighting intersection traffic and lines you up to get back on the highway with ease.

There was plenty of parking in the parking lot.

The interior of the building is very spacious, clean and well kept. There’s plenty of options for comfy chair seating, and table seating. I did not feel like I was in a sardine can while I waited for my food and drink order. If I lived in the area I would be fine to come here to relax. The music was playing in the background but at a good level to enjoy but not so loud that it would need to be yelled over if you’re having a conversation.

The bathrooms are spacious and well kept up with.

The employees are friendly. I was greeted by two separate people walking in the door. They were quick with getting the order put together and accurate. Also very helpful in making sure my order was the way I wanted it, as I did have an odd request in how I wanted my drink made. There was no annoyance or irritation from the lady taking my order at my request and everything was repeated back to make sure it was correct.

I think there was training or instruction of some kind happening during my time in this location, it was nice to hear people being instructed in a kind and patient/ professional manner.

One of the few times I wish I could say I could give more than 5 stars because I would if I could!“

“First time here today and I ordered a tan line latte iced and a breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, cheese on asiago) The coffee was pretty good and was very flavorful. The breakfast sandwich was 10/10 so good! I also thought the worker was very nice and he even gave my dog a treat. Will return for sure.“

“Grace and Luke were great. I had a problem with my gift card and they were able to fix it very quickly and and had such great customer service. I live in Eastlake and it makes me want to drive all the way here to mentor just to come to this location“

“Love love love this location!!! Not even the closest to me, but I make The drive to get this location! Staff is soo friendly, respectful, and professional. They make my drinks accurate and consistent every time…which is the hardest thing to achieve with coffee places. I also Love how this location has baskin Robbins. Super yum!“

“Out of the 3 starbucks locations in Willoughby this one is best! To the sweet worker working the drive window on Friday 11-13-20 at 5:20, THANK YOU. She went above and beyond for a drink that I didn't realize wasn't on the menu <3“

“I frequently stop by this Dunkin in the mornings after dropping my son off to school, typically just to grab a quick coffee and maybe something small to eat.

About 90% of the time, a lovely woman named Ashley is working at the drive-thru window. She is always so sweet and bubbly and it helps brighten up my day!“

“The butter pecan is my favorite coffee I look forward to my iced coffee daily.“

“I didn't get her name but the employee that worked this weekend made the most amazing drinks for me. I order the same 2 drinks all the time but these were by far the best ones I've had made in a long time. And she was so kind and even gave me a suggestion for my drink. She deserves a “

“With more than one Starbuck's on the way to work, one can pick and choose. When this location moved to the former Schlotzsky's location, the benefit of drive thru was added, making one who is not as motivated to get out of the car during in-climate weather, a new customer. You can use the app and order ahead (in store or drive-thru) and the service is fairly quick (not sure if the new one close to 90 effected their customer base). All in all, a solid Starbuck's.“

“I hate seeing some of the negative reviews, especially considering this location is still fairly new. I wish people were a little more understanding, as new businesses and their staff are still learning and settling in. I’ve been going to this Biggby regularly since they opened and have consistently had amazing drinks and wonderful service. The women who work here are fantastic—so friendly and welcoming. I even redeemed my first free drink today after saving up points, and they all cheered for me, which truly made my day. I will absolutely continue to support this Biggby, and I encourage others to try it for themselves.“

“I’ve been coming here for YEARSSS. The best mocha hands down.“

“Starbucks is situated in a great area, but unfortunately, there is no parking available. I have visited this location multiple times and have consistently found the morning staff to be exceptional; they provide outstanding service. However, the staff later in the day are not as welcoming. One staff member, who has a ponytail and appears to be older, often runs around and chats, which makes her seem less focused. I believe her name is Melissa.“
