“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!“

“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.“

“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!“
