Spent a slow morning at the Cleveland Cafe today. I ordered the Pumpkin Cream Chai latte iced and it did not disappoint. It was the right spice of chai. I ordered the protein avocado toast and it was really good. The sprouts and feta were a nice touch. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the inside had such a warm cozy feel to it. They were playing music and it was just the right vibes for a slow morning to read my book. I stayed for about two hours and in that time saw a lot of regulars come in to visit. The staff remembered a lot of their orders. That always adds a personal touch. Will definitely be back!! read more

We all enjoyed our drinks. Service was great. The place was clean. They changed their name though.

The pistachio crepe alone deserves a 5 star. Really tasty and well put together dessert, I was so sad when I finished eating it. I also got the Shelby (cold brew + caramel) and I loved how the ice cubes were coffee lol Will be back in the area (I come weekly). Ladies behind the counter were super friendly too. Little cafe but ample space. Felt really clean and modern. There was a little section for kids to draw/color. read more

Cleveland Cafe - Pistachio crepe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpine, California

Very mediocre food. My turkey bagel had plenty of turkey which was nice but I feel like it should have lettuce, tomato, or something else fresh. Someone who got the avocado toast said the avocado had barely any taste. Definitely not worth it. The staff was very nice though, no issues there. The place had a strange decor. They had a thin blue line on the door and calling them Jesus freaks would be an understatement. read more

Cleveland Cafe - Turkey and Cheese Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpine, California

This place is everything a family-run business should be. It's small, the owner is involved, the employees look happy, and they clearly have regular customers whose names they know. And I observed all this during just one random visit on my way to Alpine. Cleveland Cafe was a breath of fresh air in an unfamiliar place. My husband and I were just looking for something quick on our way to Alpine, and this was just what we wanted. We ordered from the counter and our food was ready in like 10-15 minutes. They have a pretty extensive collection of drinks. I'm kind of sorry I didn't try one. But the sandwiches we ordered were really tasty. I had the turkey panini. You can choose your cheese and a sauce for the side. I had provolone and the pesto sauce which is kind of a creamy mayo or ranch style sauce with pesto mixed in. It also comes with a pickle and chips. Really enjoyed that sandwich. Yum! We sat for a bit and ate while Puss in Boots was playing on the TV. Just a cute, cozy experience overall. I left full and happy. read more

I would give them a 10 star rating if possible on Yelp!!! From the moment I stepped into Cleveland Cafe, I felt at home. The friendly staff welcomed us warmly, took time to make suggestions, and clearly love what they do. I ordered a turkey‑Swiss panini with provolone and their pesto‑crema sauce--it was simply excellent (comes with chips and a pickle too!). My friend had the pistachio crepe--absolutely drool-worthy--and we shared a huge berry smoothie. The drinks are top‑notch too: I tried the Shelby (cold brew & caramel) and couldn't stop smiling. The coffee roast was perfect, and the rustic, bright interior with its American flag and cheerful artwork gave such a warm, local vibe. Clean, cozy, delicious--this place hits all the marks. Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast, meeting friends for lunch, or just craving a homemade pastry and great coffee in your day, Cleveland Cafe is the spot. I'll definitely be back! read more

Yes please! Coconut flavored mocha for me... With almond milk and extra whip cream. What I like the most about this place was the cheery cafe vinevibe when I walked in. And the lady behind the counter greeted me with smiles and asked if it was my first time, as I perused their vast menu of specialty coffee drinks and crepes etc. It was a great pitstop before my daughters softball game and I will be back whenever I'm in the area! read more

Amazing spot! Friendly and courteous. Food and drinks are delicious! Very comfortable inside.

5 stars doesn't even begin to cut it! Cleveland Cafe in Alpine is truly a gem, and under Shawn's new ownership, it's blossomed into the kind of place you want to be every day. The staff is always so kind, cheerful, and genuinely welcoming -- it feels like a little burst of sunshine every time I walk in. The drinks? Absolute heaven in a cup. Shawn has brought such a fresh, charming vibe to the space, with thoughtful touches that make it feel more community-focused and delightfully hip. My favorite new feature is the Coffee Special of the Week -- it's like a mini adventure with every visit! And don't even get me started on the pistachio crepe... it's out of this world. Thank you, Shawn and the amazing team at Cleveland Cafe -- it's honestly dangerous how close I live to you all! read more

The best chicken panini I have ever had. and the creamy pesto is to die for!!! The service was exceptional and I felt at home even though we were just passing through. the environment was great also. The patriotic theme was uplifting. the only downside was the location was further back and harder to find. we almost went to the wrong place. read more

This was the BEST matcha I've ever had. The girls in the register were so sweet and helpful. My favorite thing about this place is that they clearly love America. They have a massive American flag on the wall and very noticeably support our nations hero's. If I was a local, this would hands down be the place I gave my money too. read more

my humans got the crepes here (Monte Cristo and Black Currant) and liked them, again they didn't share any but I was content lounging on the floor and people watching. This local spot is popular and tons of folks walked in while we were there so I had a lot of entertainment. the crew wore these cute shirts that say "support your local caffeine dealer" and we are here for that! My human said next time they want to try the avocado toast everyone was ordering as it looked delicious too! the Lattes were really good, I performed a sniff test and can attest the roast was perfect! we will be back! read more

I don't go to Alpine that often but I was going to my friend's house to watch the Indianapolis 500. I had not had my coffee yet and asked my friends if they wanted me to bring some coffee over. I thought I would check to see if anything new popped up in the shopping center next to Panda Machi. I would rather suffer a headache than go to Starbucks . As I rolled through the parking lot, I saw their sign and said, "I'm gonna try them out." When I walked in I was greeted and that was the first star. I then saw a wooden sign that said Faith Hope and love. That was the second star. Then I saw the word organic before the word coffee on the menu. That was the third star. The staff thanked me when they handed me my coffee, 4th star. The coffee was excellent, fifth star, and that sealed the deal. Now I will always go to Cleveland Café. I am a member at the lemon Grove Rod and Gun Glub in Alpine and I will Stop in at Cleveland Café from now on and I will recommend it to everyone. Thank you for your service to the customer and for making excellent coffee. read more

This is the kind of coffee that makes a loyal customer, delicious! Sad I live too far to be a regular. The staff was so friendly and you could feel the family environment as soon as you walk in. LOVE the patriotic pride and a place that honors the people who protect and lay down their life for us! read more

I have found the perfect crepe and chai tea. The crepes are filled with delicious jam. Lightly cooked so they are fluffy. The chai tea has the most flavorful spices and is so yummy! Get it dirty with extra espresso for a jolt of energy!! 2 thumbs up from this fluffy foodie!!! read more

Cleveland Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpine, California

Awesome spot tucked away in Alpine! The owners are very friendly and the place is so clean and inviting. I ordered a Pumpkin Spice (in June!) Cold brew with the iced coffee ice cubes and a splash of heavy cream. Guys!!! I am a coffee snob! This is seriously one of the very best coffees I have ever had! So smooth and the syrups they use are so flavorful with true natural flavors instead of the artificial sugar stuff. Seriously, best coffee in Alpine hands down! My hubby is not a coffee fan so he got the Kiwi Strawberry Iced Tea with Lemonade, again, soooooo flavorful! It tastes so refreshing and amazing and not acidic or overly sweet, just perfect!! For treats I tried the Walnut Bear Paws which are light, perfectly sweet, and super yummy! They are a family recipe and you can taste the love in the baking! We also ordered a chocolate chip cookie which was bigger than my 5 year old's head! It took my kids 2 days to eat it! I can't wait to come back and enjoy more goodies! I look forward to crepes, paninis, and really good drinks! PS everything here is made with organic ingredients! Awesome! read more

BEWARE-- NO COVID PRECAUTIONS TAKEN Eat and drink at your own risk. *masks are not required by employees or patrons *no social distancing is enforced *no hand sanitizer offered *employees don't wear gloves *they do not sanitize between customers *there is a SIGN on the front door saying something along the lines of "if you're "afraid" of COVID, do not come in!" I came to this business because of a recommendation from a family friend. But I don't trust this business at all! I ended up throwing away my drink without even trying it.. if the employer and employees aren't following CDC and pandemic guidelines at work, then it isn't a stretch to assume that these same people are engaging in risky behavior on their own time as well (by risky I mean socializing, not social distancing and performing activities without a mask or the like). Truly a shame because I don't heard this business serves great coffee. But I'd rather keep my lungs intact and my family members alive. read more

Amazing coffee, friendly workers, and great baked goods. Always a pleasure to stop in here for a pick me up.
