“We stopped in for lunch and it exceeded our expectations! We ordered a ham sandwich on focaccia bread with potato, broccoli and cheddar soup, and the Claudio sandwich with white bread. It was all spectacular! The story of how the shop started was also sweet to read inside the restaurant. We will definitely stop here again next time we are in the area.“

The atmosphere was welcoming, and the customer service was a perfect 10/10. Everyone was kind, attentive, and made sure I had what I needed.

Definitely one of the best breakfast spots around. I’ll be back for sure“

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

“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.“

“Honestly, I’ve never been a regular to any place, ever- in my 30 something years of life … That is, until I found this place. Both the crafty - delicious, calming, alcohol-free, cocktails, AND the absolutely amazing staff making them, keep me coming back on days when I need a little bit of a boost or a reward! The owners… I’ve never met such kind & involved business owners, of any place, ever! Which is probably why the staff, that they’ve got has the same amazing appeal , always so very welcoming and nice to be around! The atmosphere is artsy , and inviting too! I’m not a downtown Willoughby girlie - or much of a bar-gal, either , but Kava Sol has definitely become my jam ! Love it ! 11 out of 5 stars ⭐️ 😇❤️“

“A community space used for different community events and different events very open atmosphere“

“We came on a Friday night with a group of 9. Michael the owner put together a few tables for us and was such a gracious host! We had a great time listening to music, drinking great wine, eating cheese boards! We will def come back!“

“great place to come to hang with good people and listen to some great much. they recently just reopened their kitchen and the food is actually good. they sometimes have a band which is amazing because who doesn’t want to hear any live music.“

“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 love Arabica coffeehouse. It’s a really friendly environment in historic downtown Willoughby. The owners Tim and Tina Are both very nice and welcoming and their staff is friendly. 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 used Luna to cater an SEO and digital marketing lunch and learn that I ran in Beachwood, and the experience with Luna was absolutely amazing. The whole process was seamless. They called back quickly and helpful suggestions for headcount and budget. We had several gluten free folks in the crowd and they prepared separately-packaged individual lunch boxes for them. And the food was AMAZING! We got veggie sandwiches, mozzarella sandwiches, and the spinach salad.

Support woman-owned and support local - you won't regret it!“

“Just stopped in here for a quick espresso while visiting from Dallas (business trip). The gent who helped me was super friendly, knew his stuff regarding coffee dead pat, and made a very, very good espresso. He hooked me up with one of his fresh pressed ginger shots as well. Best damn ginger shot over ever had.“

“Book your party or event here“

“Today was another great sandwich for lunch. Breaded Pork Cutlet...amazing.“

“My go-to spot for a cannoli and espresso! Presti’s is an absolute gem. There’s something here for everyone. Sometimes there’s a long wait if it’s busy but it’s always well staffed and the employees are clearly hustling. I always tip because they work so hard!“

“Lets start with the basics. The food is to die for. The prices are reasonable. The staff is kind, friendly and courteous as is the owner. Can't say enough good things about this place. You owe it to your self to try it. They catere too and its phenomenal.“

“I love this place! Me and my partner eat here all the time. As a person who recently stopped eating meat, this is my favorite vegan restaurant. The food doesn’t make a difference if it’s vegan or not, it’s just good food overall. I’m working my way to try everything on the menu but my faves are the vegan pepper steak & rice and the vegan chilli on Wednesdays. But I enjoy everything on the menu so it just depends what you are in the mood for. Omg can’t forget the lemonade! Yum

P.S can’t forget the wine either lol“

“The staff is always friendly. It's organized.“

“Cafe Ah-Roma is what makes CSU’s campus so great. Tasty food, delicious drinks and the most incredible staff -especially the ownership. You always feel welcomed and like family when you stop in. I am all about supporting local and this place has a one of a kind charm. They are also a great place for students, athletes and friends to hang out and relax.“

“Have ordered food a few times now and it has always been superb, their pizzas are great,the pies are all very good and their burgers 🍔 are juicy and tasty, would highly recommend“
