    Still one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. Great coffee, great vibes that make you feel welcome to stay there for hours (which I have), and AMAZING muffins. Starbucks and Dunkin' could never.

    What a lovely experience this morning at Ah-Roma cafe. Ron was quite accommodating to my needs & requests & made our morning with delicious coffees, croissants & chocolate chip scone. I truly felt the ALOHA spirit here

    Coffee With Bagel And Peanut Butter
    Steve A.

    Best coffee shop in Berea. Cafe Ah-Roma is a popular hangout. It's a longtime favorite of students and locals. Also has good stuff to eat. The prices are good and so is service. Coffee is the main thing here. It always goes good with any of the bagels, which makes this a popular place in the morning. There isn't that much room inside, but they still have plenty of tables. If you feel overwhelmed by the large coffee menu you can simply get a regular coffee. It's about $3 for a cup. This coffee is located in the urns at the front. As for the food it's mostly breakfast items like bagels. It's about $2.50 for a bagel and a spread. The peanut butter is very good especially when it's melted because the bagel is toasted. It has some old school decor. It gives it a cozy and relaxing feeling. They have modern technology like wifi.

    Almond chai tea latte

    Net a friend for breakfast and a beverage. My drink was a special and very tasty. It was a chai tea latte with almond syrup. The bagel sandwich I got was just okay. It was a bit dry.

    Here is the front counter of the cafe. This is a great place to eat if you are in Berea, Ohio.Very well maintained by a great staff.

    The food here is always excellent. Always well cooked, kept well refrigerated and prepared well. The staff they have working here provides excellent service. They are always greeting you and have a great attitude. The place is a quaint place with classical music playing in the background, great ambiance. People gather here to converse, grab a coffee or a quick bite. A great place to chill if you are on a work break or just sitting to relax. Cafe-Ah-Roma is a great cafe to stop at if you are at their locations in Downtown Berea, or Downtown Cleveland. A+ grade.

    Holiday specials!

    What a cute little cafe in downtown Berea! I didn't even know this place existed until my friend suggested we meet there for breakfast one day! Great place to grab a bite to eat or meet up with friends. Plenty of seating for 2 people or larger groups! There is WiFi available, if you are looking for a place to get some work done. Wall plugs nearby in almost all corners of this place, which is awesome! I've been to coffee shops which had limited plugs available and I was quite annoyed, especially since my laptop dies so quickly. Cafe Ah-Roma offers both breakfast and lunch options! All dishes are super affordable and is quick! I can't wait to come back here just to hang out and introduce friends to this place!

    Very cute coffee shop in Berea. It was nice to stop by and have a cup of coffee and just sit outside and relax.

    FEISTY bagel ah-Roma just as in the old days, but added zing w the spicy feta addition.

If you dine in, you eat from real plates and glasses which is nice. They offer a nice selection of to go boxes that you can also grab yourself, too. They don't serve their pizzas until noon, so that's what time we went and what a great decision! I had the Blanc pizza, and requested it well done as my normal preference, and it was delicious. 6 slices, a nice size. Very flavorful and cost $15. I also had the Bacon Cesear Wedge, which was not traditional wedge salad, it was made with romain - that luckily was still very crisp! It was a good portion, but could have been a little cheaper at $16. The bacon was made fresh, it is an open kitchen concept with a window so I literally watched her make it which was refreshing. Overall I have no complaints and look forward to going again soon!

I asked a lot of questions at the register because it was my first time. The gal working was receptive, authentic and patient. I got the margherita pizza and peanut butter chocolate mousse tart and a rose matcha, iced. The water station is easily accessible. silverware and grab your own boxes Togo , I appreciate that and definitely has to reduce interruptions to staff while they work. There's a window where you can watch the beautiful creations get assembled. Upstairs has a lot of seating, some plugs for devices. Only thing is the stairs feel steep and made me dizzy lol, proceed with caution.

    Coffee or tea in a place most people wouldn't think is a college town - 1 of 2…read more This coffeehouse, Rise and Grind, came up on a search when I was in this immediate area. I chuckle at all the names coffeehouses come up with that have the word grind or ground in them. It's a lot like how places that cut hair seem to work in the word(s) sheer and/or shear. The college here is private Baldwin-Wallace University which may have had a religious denomination closer to its founding, but, at this juncture, appears to be more secular. It's actually a few miles east of Rise and Grind, closer to the older town center, and offers instruction in a broader range of fields than one might expect. I saw that this coffeehouse got very good reviews and, with its big parking lot near a major gym, I thought I'd take a look. Parking was easy and, upon entering, one sees it's both a physically and personally welcoming place. The store is lengthy, so one can sit in the front half or the back half, which is more suitable for larger groups, but I chose the table I selected for its proximity to outlets and the counter. On what was a warmer day, I opted for iced tea and an orange frosted donut. The brand of unsweetened iced tea was very good and the orange donut was delicious. I could have eaten another one. Beyond chocolate donuts, this is probably my favorite flavor and one doesn't often come across orange frosted donuts. The service was very amicable. The prices are in line with what others running independent coffeehouses would charge. In fact, I'm starting to like independent coffeehouses more and more for a multitude of reasons, one being that they now handily compete with the chains and have more character. Rise and Grind falls in between 4 and 5 stars, but it tilts to 5 stars because of the tidiness and pleasing ambiance of the store, the apparent vibe that this is a labor of love for the proprietors, and even for having that orange frosted donut.

I recently visited here and I thought it was definitely worth the 5 stars! I came on a Friday morning, and there was no line. There's a parking lot, which is always helpful. Lots of fun drink combinations. I can't remember which latte I ended up going with, but it was sooooo good!!! The sizes are huge though, so just a heads up! There were some food choices. Seemed like healthy options and some pastries. I would have loved a breakfast sandwich without a meat option, but they all seemed to have meat on them. I could have asked for a custom sandwhich, but our barista wasn't very friendly. Not rude or anything!!! Just didn't smile or say hi. Just stared at us. Not a big deal, just not very welcoming! (Maybe she hadn't had her own coffee yet haha). There were lots of different seating options all decorated differently. Lots of different styles, but seemed like an overall safari theme, maybe. (I was obsessed with that cute little elephant and I want one!!!) On the way out, the guy who was working was super friendly to us! Seemed very kind and personable. He made me smile! Overall, I would definitely come back ! I really enjoyed it here !

Great options, wonderful seasonal specials. (Short rib omelette?! Hell yes!) I wanted basic, so I built my own omelette with a side of bacon and a hot tea. They have a great drink menu- coffee, specialty cocoas, tea, cocktails, mocktails, and refreshers. I was on my way to see a friend, so I grabbed us each a refresher to go. My meal was out in just minutes. Expertly prepared, fresh and delicious. Also a very nice portion. Sourdough toast was excellent. Generous filling for the omelette too. The only drawback was a common plight for strip mall restaurants- entrance that opens straight into the dining room. No foyer or vestibule means the cold January air nipped you in the face every time that front door opened. On cold days, get a table in the back. I'd like to highlight the mocktail concept, too. I often want a spirited drink but don't imbibe booze often. I love that they have offerings. The entire staff was so nice and helpful. I can't wait to come back!

Parking can be challenging, there is a very small lot in front with 2 regular spaces and 1 handicap space; plus there are several spots on the street, all of which were full. I ended up parking on the nearby side street by the Burger King. Inside the cafe there are two distinct sides, the right side is set up as a coffee shop with the service counter, some high top tables and some comfortable seating; the left side is set up as a dining area with a bar. The decor is bright and modern with some touches of whimsy, overall very nice and comfortable, the kind of place you can relax and take your time. The menu is set up with a number of categories: breakfast, paninis, salads, wraps, flatbreads, wafflesicles and drinks. Prices are reasonable and there are some interesting items. I had a certificate for $20 so I ordered the Smashed Egg Avocado Bagel, the Bang Bang Shrimp Wrap and a big Chocolate Chip Cookie. The staff was great getting the certificate redeemed and guiding me through the menu. The food came out in a very timely manner, presentation was simple and straightforward. I had plenty of food for a very nice lunch. The egg and avocado bagel was interesting, the bagel was a bit soft for my preference, it was topped with a generous spread of egg and avocado mix plus some fresh spinach leaves. A very nice and healthy breakfast sandwich, a bit milder in flavor then I prefer, but good. The shrimp wrap was a good sized flour wrap around cold cooked shrimp with shredded cabbage and a great spicy sauce that perfectly complimented the wrap. This was excellent, the cool meaty shrimp contrasting with the crunchy cabbage and the zippy creamy sauce. I would highly recommend this if you like a bit of spice. The warm cookie was a great way to finish my lunch, very soft and gooey, packed with high quality chocolate chunks. About the only issue I had with the cookie was that it was hard to eat with just my hands, I ended up using the fork for most of the cookie. Jade Owl Cafe is a great local place to grab some high quality food, pastries and drinks. It is woman and minority owned, very well thought out and executed.

(One table was very cold and drafty so watch out hahah) Service was slow; I think maybe only two people were working. There was a giant garage door which will be so nice to have open in nicer weather!! We were also wondering if the mugs will be switched out for glasses when it's iced coffee season! We didn't have kids with us, but noticed some kids toys, a high chair, and changing table in the bathroom available making this place a kid friendly option! Overall, I would definitely come back !
