I love the huge selection of teas that they have to choose from. This is where I go when I just don’t want to be home by myself. Love to come here read or work a little and people watch. There is always someone friendly to talk to. I’ve made lots of friends here over the years.“

“I've been coming to Heartwood (all locations) for a couple years now and NO CAFE in Ohio beats their coffee. I'm super picky about my coffee (how acidic, bitter, notes, etc) and I have tried almost all cafes around Cleveland and none of them compare to Heartwood - even beats Rising Star... The service is always so good and quick with super kind/welcoming employees, and the owner is always smiling! I absolutely adore the decor and vibe the cafe locations offer. It's the perfect place for a solo date, brunch/lunch, work spot, meeting, etc! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Heartwood and wish there was one closer to my city (Broadview Heights). I recommend this company to everyone looking for the best coffee (local and out of state)! Do yourself a favor and RUN to Heartwood now because I promise you all not regret it!“

THANK YOU GUYS YOU ALL ARE AMAZINGGGG 😍🥰🙌🏻👏🏻“

“Literally the nicest baristas I have ever met and a great menu of coffees!“

“Great crew with a very effective management team. While picking up a coffee this morning on the tremendously popular Red Cup Day, I was amazed to see so many customers flood this location at once--at the drive through, over mobile orders, as well as walk-in orders like myself. I have never seen such a swell of customers all at once at any coffee shop. And yet, despite this massive surge of simultaneous orders, this crew ran like a well-oiled machine. Not only did they work together very efficiently to fill customers orders, they maintained a professional demeanor among the feeding frenzy.
I especially want to commend the management team of Alli and Timoteo who were on hand and made sure that not only were things handled as efficiently and professionally as possible but also that customers were kept apprised of the status of their orders and knew their orders had not been lost in the chaos. In fact, I was so impressed with how well this challenge was managed during the morning surge that I returned after my morning meeting just to let the management team know that I appreciated their professionalism and efficiency.“

“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.“

“Of all the Starbucks I have ever been to this is my favorite. I'm fortunate to have this particular Starbucks near my work. I get my Venti Decaf Americano with steamed half/half and one packet of raw sugar there nearly every workday. And the baristas get my order right every single time. Without fail. Additionally, the employees are fast, friendly, and kind. I'd like to give a particular shout out to Jaylen. He greets everyone with a smile and seems like a genuinely fantastic person. Whenever he is at the window it makes my day. Keep up the great work, team!“

“The lines are long outside sometimes but that just shows the quality these folks put out for them to be getting that much service! They always provide my family with quality coffee, donuts and a fantastic bacon egg and cheese on a croissant ?“

“ice cream not stocked after closing for 20 mins to "sanitize and restock". Waste of time.“

“The workers at this Dunkin location were especially helpful and wanted to please their customers. This is refreshing, considering some of the other Dunkin locations have nasty employees and low-quality food. They even gave recommendations when we were sure what to order. Would stop here again!“

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

“Two and Company has amazing, made from scratch, healthy food and the customer service is great! Not to mention you are helping a non-profit with a mission of full integration into the workplace for individuals who have cognitive disabilities. It's a real win for our community!“

“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.“

“my favorite place to have coffee! Great customer service!“

“I had to come on here and give these people a 5 star review. If there were more stars I would give it to them. They are always beyond nice, always smiling and super friendly. The food is always very fresh and nothing is ever wrong with my order. They are super fast and just absolutely amazing even when it’s morning and it is super busy they get everybody out very quickly and everything is always correct. It is very nice to see a smiling face and amazing customer service in the morning Or basically anytime during the day. They absolutely deserve 10 stars. Best Dunkin’ Donuts I’ve ever been to. I never do a lot of reviews, but they absolutely deserve it.“

“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“

“They are always so kind there and fast service. Today I got a pink drink and it didn’t look right and tasted super sour. Didn’t catch the names of the two young guys who worked there. But they gave me a new drink without a problem and was never rude or anything like that. Even had me try it before I left. Will always return.“

“I just recently took over the Jersey mikes stores out here, I started visiting this Starbucks recently and the girl today working drive thru with purple braids that she has styled into buns had THE BEST customer service. As a multi unit manager I understand how hard it is to get people that genuinely love their job or can atleast pretend to while they are there lol. I definitely think this employee needs some recognition.“

“Always get the best coffee with excellent latte art from the talented baristas here. Definitely worth the trip. Pictures taken at @thevanakendistrict location and new Tremont location.“

“We stopped at this Starbucks on our long trip from NY to Indiana and I’m glad we did. The baristas were very friendly, and we quickly had our two drinks and breakfast sandwiches. We will definitely remember this Starbucks the next time we pass through here. Thanks for making this a great pit stop!“

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