Coffee Shops near University Heights

“A coffee shop you know will be open. You can order ahead via the app and know you can pick up your order. The coffee or food you order is ready fast. I like the coffee drinks. The breakfast sandwiches are okay. Prices are okay. But the convience and good coffee I keep going.“

“I come here frequently and yes the drive through is usually backed up but if you go inside the staff is so nice and considerate! The manager that was on shift was amazing! I didn’t get her name but she was maybe in her 40s, very pretty and had blonde/brown hair. She was so attentive and was doing everything with a smile! I know customer service can be a thankless job so I just wanted to say thank you for being so kind ❤️“

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!!“

“This location is great. My family came when the owner was there on our first visit. He was helpful and very pleasant i order 5 drinks that day which he made perfectly. We visited again today and bought 6 more drinks and the cashier was really nice as well. We'll continue to patronize this location, the atmosphere is great as well!!!“

“Friendly service . explained the flavors... the right price“

“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.“

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

“I make sure to stop and get a coffee every time I pass through downtown! Their coffee is great and while the place gets busy during rush hour, I feel their speed is quick and efficient. They are always very nice and offer their recommendations when asked. If you are a coffee lover I would highly recommend you stop. They also offer an assortment of local made pasteries which never disappoint.“

“My dad and I were in town for the day and wanted to find a vegan restaurant. We had breakfast and came back for lunch. It was amazing!! Food delicious, wide variety, and great customer service. The space was clean and welcoming. Can't wait to come back!“

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

“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 😊“

“Lifelong Clevelander - this is my favorite area specialty coffee roastery in NE OH. Great global offerings offerings for their single-origin coffees. Fantastic vibes for a place to relax and enjoy breakfast items and pastries as well. Their staff is always knowledgeable and can make great recommendations for first-time customers. Special s/o to Anthony who has always been a friendly-face and great barista 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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, best coffee!“

“I love this 7 brew so much! Every time I go it’s a vibe. They always have a great playlist playing while you place your order. The workers are so nice and welcoming and they give great suggestions on what drinks to try especially if it’s your first time like it was mine. Jasmine the lovely lady with the vibrant pink hair, is always a pleasure to see. She makes the best drink combos! She made me a specialty drink which was an iced chai latte with caramel syrup and whipped cream. That was the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life! I would totally recommend coming to 7 brew in Willoughby there’s no place like it!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“I stopped in on my walk to work to grab a quick coffee, and I immediately loved the atmosphere. The cashier/barista was very kind and welcoming, not to mention the coffee was delicious! I got an iced vanilla oat latte. Highly recommend for your next coffee hit!“

“Dragon fruit mango pink cake pop“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Love love love this location!!! Not even the closest to me, but I make The drive to get this location! Staff is soo friendly, respectful, and professional. They make my drinks accurate and consistent every time…which is the hardest thing to achieve with coffee places. I also Love how this location has baskin Robbins. Super yum!“
