50 Best Coffee Shops near Shaker Heights

“I have been extremely impressed with not just the store, but the employees. They have gone above and beyond to serve the customers and do it all with a smile and genuine kindness. Very impressed.“

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

“Excellent coffee, ready on time for our event with all the accoutrements, attentive staff, everything was great. Thank you!“

“Yummy latte. Got the spiced coconut latte with oat milk. Very helpful and friendly staff. Husband got blood moon tea and it was delicious too.“

“Today I reserved their front room for my husbands "Celebration of Life". I had asked Courtney about reserving the room and catering with pastries and sandwiches. I wanted a small and quaint space for the event. Courtney and all of her employees were AWESOME!! They were so helpful and caring, it made the event go so well. I cannot thank Courtney enough for the awesome space and the good food!!! I would rent this space out again for any event!! Thank you Couchland!!“

“I love 7 Brew! Certainly, the beverages are delicious. But what amazes me is the volume of business they’re able to conduct out of this tiny island in the middle of a shopping center. And the prices they charge are premium! (That’s why I don’t come here very often). I imagine anyone in business would be interested in a model like this. Make sure your public-facing employees are neat, polite, and service-oriented, also be sure your product is high-quality.

Most restauranteurs will tell you that the price you pay is partially for “real estate.“ In other words, somebody’s got to pay for the atmosphere and decor, at least. But 7 Brew has none of that yet they levy a fairly harsh “tax“ for the privilege of purchasing there.

I suppose the drive-in/drive out feature deserves some compensation. But again, I don’t come here often because I would expect the pricing would reflect the lack of amenities offered. (note, for all my complaining I still return every three months or so.)“

“Please come here. So yummy and the workers are incredible <3“

“A huge THANK YOU to TIFFANY in the bakery today! She worked with me with ordering my Son’s birthday cake for Saturday. I came in short notice to order. Great customer service and just a kindhearted person. Thank you Tiffany!“

“Such a special cool little place! We stopped in for a quick breakfast while waiting for an appointment time nearby - had a delicious breakfast and delicious coffee with great service from the owner’s son.

“My first time at BFC was about 2 years ago. I went in today and met the Owner Jennifer and her daughter Jackie. They both made me very welcome to their family restaurant. It truly was nice to see people that actually enjoy their job. It is a cozy restaurant with an old fashioned flare.I got the breakfast special 2 scrambled eggs,crispy bacon, and Texas toast. And a cup of coffee and then later a Chi to go. The food was all cooked fresh and nice and hot when Jackie served it to me along with my hot coffee.It was all absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable and the service was beyond great. Do yourself a favor and stop in sometime and support this local delicious family owned restaurant. And oh yeah a big bonus If you live within 5 miles of their restaurant they will actually deliver your food for FREE.“

“I can't believe I haven't given them a review yet. I come here often and also order delivery too. Nice people, fast and consistent food. I've tried several things on the menu and all good. I recommend this place anytime anyone is looking for a simple, diner style experience nearby.“

“Abso-lutely LOVE everything I have ever gotten at Heartwood! I tell everyone about the Birdseye, pour-overs, BAKERY! Staff is always bright and cheerful, great with my children and helpful/knowledgeable when I have a complicated order or want to branch out and try something new, 5/5!“

“Great vegan options in a lovely atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you are ever in the area.“

“Excellent place to get fantastic and unique food. You won’t have trouble remembering this place once you visit the first time, and you’ll definitely return - for the food, coffee, and friendly staff!“

“Fun, funky cafe where the food is fresh, smoothies are banging and the service is friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Love it here! They have a huge variety of beverages, coffee and not. And all their drinks can be made hot, iced or frozen! My favorite is a hot mocha mocha. Or for something cold and refreshing I love their lemonade with strawberry boba and added zip for energy! Very friendly staff 😊“

“My brother introduced me to this place. He had brought me in on my birthday weekend (8/9). He showed me the menu prior to coming and so I had an idea of what I wanted to order. When we arrived, I had the honor of meeting the owner of the business, Razzi. Such a really cool, chill dude.
Since he wasn't busy at the time, he took the time to show us all the things his business had to offer. He told us where he gets his ice-cream, the ingredients for his waffles, etc. To learn the history of each item was very insightful.

Service: Razzi was very knowledgeable about his food and the things he serves. He was super cool and I love that he is a small minority business owner. He will be seeing me again soon.

Food: I ordered the Cinnaroll waffle with Nutella spread and a scoop of vanilla brown sugar ice-cream. I also got this Matcha Lemonade. Talk about the best waffle I've ever had. It was light, fluffy, with a nice crisp bite to it. Because of it being made by scratch, all the flavors were very well balanced and nothing overwhelmed. I highly recommend ordering the large waffle. The iced Matcha Lemonade (the green drink) was also good. A very healthy drink.

Atmosphere: Calming laid-back vibe. Place to chill and have great food.“

“My daughter and her friend picked up a coffee gelato for me. It was Divine. Smooth and creamy without any artificial taste. I will be going back again and sometime the stack was wonderful so friendly that you felt like you were having dessert with your family.“

“Just a great place to enjoy coffee and either study, read, or have some quality time with friends. I spent many hours here when I was in college mainly studying or discussing subjects A-Z. The place has an intellectual open minded thinker vibe and I love it. Coffee and desserts are good as well. Its open and airy in summer and cozy in winter. Great energy as well.“

“We randomly decided to stop here on our walk! The atmosphere was wonderful and the barista was so friendly. We got an iced americano with a splash of cream and vanilla flavor. It was wonderful! We just stopped in but I would highly recommend for studying or reading and I’d love to come back and try their lattes or teas:). The prices are also great and not crazy high!“

“Great stop for a cortado! Not many coffee shops serve cortados with water—I really appreciated that. Great milk steaming and great espresso pull. They measure everything behind the bar and I love that too. The employees are fun and know what they’re doing!

The lemon biscotti was okay—a bit tough since it was cut thick. Probably wouldn’t get that pastry again, but they have other good options too.

Great merch setup too!“

“Fiendly and serve great coffee-- most importantly. Seating is exceptionally comfy, space airy and welcoming with soft music/not overpowering. I will say, if you guys could keep your heat up a little higher when it's colder out, would deifnitely visit more--it's difficulty to work when freezing.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, best coffee!“

“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.“

“the people. are friendly and food comes out hot and fast I like the new ice cream machine now“

“Great, wonderful and friendly service. Oh and of coarse the coffee is awesome!“

“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.“

“Professional staff They make everyone feel important.“

“Wonderful business!! Great food and coffee with amazing low prices! Great service to the community!!“

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

“I had lunch with my 15 year old granddaughter while shopping. It was our first time eating here and will definitely go again!! The food was awesome, I had the cilantro lime salad w/ chicken. I don't know what was in the dressing but it was delicious!! Our waitress Erin was great too!!“

“I exited at closing time to find my car which was parked on the street had been involved in an accident. Minor damage. I’ll be parking in the parking garage from now on.“

“I usually like the fish sandwiches but today they were dry .... please try harder“

“Let me tell you this is a absolute delight of a find. We were originally planning to go to the typical hole in the wall up in Cleveland, but it totally slipped our minds that it was the Asian festival. Which btw an absolute nightmare for local Asian dinning. But the food here is fantastic, especially the pho. Tho heads up if you get a hot item, there no ac so be ready to sweat a bit. It was absolutely worth it tho.“

“I’m always busy, working, doing errands and i needed to find a place to eat that has a ln extensive menu. I can grab breakfast and lunch with extra to take home too! The manager and staff are friendly and very hard working. It’s centrally located and whether i’m eating in or taking out, The Cafe Honeycomb manages their business like you are their only customer, with attention to every detail. Their delicious food and great service is the reason I love to shop local!“

“I got a vanilla hot brew. First off the little green stopper ya'll put in the cup...amazing!!! no one does that ever so it was nice to see. the whipped cream and caramel in too...extra surprise. would definitely recommend“

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

“Great customer service...“

“Food is consistently great & huge portions. Deon was a fabulous waiter. Had no problem with our group of ten aged 3 to 67.“

“Everything here is fresh and homemade! You seriously can’t find a better lunch around! My favorite is the Chicken Caesar Wrap, I crave it all the time. This cafe is family owned and operated, which I love, with great customer service! The manager is very attentive and has never messed up my order🙌 10/10!“

“The staff here is doing the lords work! Serving the hospital, nurses, doctors etc., their output is so impressive and they do it with a big smile.

That being said, I tried an iced protein latte without syrup and instead a little cinnamon and honey; would not recommend. I think the 4 pumps of vanilla syrup are there for a reason. Cover up the weird protein aftertaste.“

“This place has come a long way from years ago. It's clean, the food is fresh and delicious, the service is great and they always smile, say thank you and wish you a great day. If my order is not great they fix it without delay or attitude. My favorite Dunkin“

“The service was nice. Person who helped us was very friendly and efficient. However, I wish that they would put some tape on some of these donut boxes when we have a dozen. Given some of the wind conditions in this area, I almost dropped the donuts taking it to my car. Otherwise great service all around“

“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.“
