“I don’t write reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves it.

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn’t just another coffee shop—it’s part of the community. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place where you can settle in for a few minutes or a few hours and feel completely at home.

The coffee is consistently excellent—rich, smooth, and clearly made with care, winter, spring, summer and fall! Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup on the go or trying something new off the menu, you can taste the quality. And the owners? Genuinely some of the kindest people you’ll meet. They remember faces, take the time to chat, and make every visit feel personal.

What really stands out is how much heart goes into this place. Supporting a locally owned business like this feels good, especially when they put so much back into the customer experience.

If you’re anywhere nearby and haven’t stopped in yet, you’re missing out. This is the kind of spot that turns first-time visitors into regulars.“

“Tabletop is a great place to go if you like playing board games. They have a large and diverse selection of games, so you can never run out of new games to play. They have a unique menu of tasty food, along with a great selection of drinks and cocktails. Their servers are kind, attentive, and very helpful in finding the perfect game for you to play if you're not sure where to start. They have some awesome events like trivia, RPG nights, and game clinics. I highly recommend going to Tabletop!“

Eugene was nice and friendly and very welcoming. In wanted some burek but I guess they’re so good that they sell out quickly Lol. Next time though!“

“Picture it Sicily 1936 lol....Nah seriously let me tell you about my favorite hideout. The sunny spot @ finn cafe is the place to be. There is a wraparound bar that has enough seating everyone. TVs are everywhere. You would never know it but there is a Cigar lounge tucked off behind some closed doors. It is beautiful. The atmosphere is friendly and kind of like that old TV show Cheers....sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name and glad you came. A mixed crowd of friendly people.of all ages. Now let's talk about food. Blessed Foods run the kitchen. ANNNNDDDD baby I cannot unbig my back because of Easter & Doonty. Now let's get to the service! Yall got to be entertained and greeted by the bartender Kelly. Oh she is an experience you will never forget. You can't help but love her. Music is flowing and it's a party. Different nights have different specials and activities. You may not come for a long time but it damn sure is a good time.“

“I can't say enough good things about this place! When I want an iced coffee and I want it to be absolutely delicious every single time, this is where I go! The people working there love their customers and it shows!! Not to mention they also have the best bakery items and a ton of food options, including my go to breakfast ham, egg and cheese croissant 😋“

“Such a great coffee shop! The Cafe de Olla is amazing, and the empanadas and guava rolls were equally as impressive! To top it off, the owner is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I mentioned that I had kids, and she took the time out of her day to show me around the building and told me all about the art museum’s exhibits (the cafe currently shares a space with the Cleveland Art Museum’s Community Arts Center) that she thought my kids might enjoy. I can’t wait to see all of the additional offerings when the new location opens!“

“Great space, friendly staff and great food.“

“Surprisingly delicious food available at the Huntington Reservation. With the beach and playground nearby, it's a great option to grab a bite to eat and I was genuinely surprised at how good the food was. The ice cream of course is amazing. The employees were also fantastic people, friendly and quick.“

“Stopped by today,ham and cheese croissant that was great. Only problem was my dog was trying to intercept bites which created a dicey ,situation,but he got some and was quite happy.“

“The price was different than what’s posted online so that needs to be updated but what I got was a quality cup of oatmeal To-go. The fruit was fresh and she made the oatmeal consistency perfectly, added milk with no extra charge so to me it was worth $10 with all of that fruit. I’m here for a short work trip and I’m not finding quality in this part of downtown so it’s likely that I will be back here again. I also had a cortado earlier and it was perfection. On top of that the service was nice, they were friendly and kind, just what you need when you’re away from home.On another occasion I got breakfast and it was beautiful and cooked perfectly. I love this place and the two ladies who run it, they’ve grown warmer and more personable the more I frequent their cafe, I love their hospitality and I’m grateful for it.“

“I’ve had breakfast at Claudette’s many times. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked to order. I highly recommend Claudette’s to everyone looking for good food, prompt service, and affordable prices.“

“I love our first experience here! Such an aesthetic cafe! The food was so good and definitely worth the price.
Just don't wear heels if you want to sit upstairs because that staircase, though beautiful, was scary to walk up and down on.
Overall, I'm definitely coming back. I've recommended this cafe to so many people.

P.s. lox crepes are chefs kiss!“
