Eagle Kafe is an authentic Albanian experience in the charming part of Cleveland. While there are…read morequite a few Balkan establishments in the city, none are quite like this cafe. It's the only Albanian cafe in Ohio. I visited after hearing about this cafe from friends. Shortly thereafter it really trended on Instagram. AMBIANCE: The cafe is simple and spacious. There are two dining rooms that can serve various customers - high tables for solo guests, tables for two or large parties. Many guests prefer the patio. The location is on a picturesque street with a lot of trees and nature. It's a relaxing experience. In many ways it's just an average cafe - large windows, exposed brick walls, and coffee aroma. I other ways, it's incredibly authentic. Guests watch Albanian soccer or linger on the patio. The combination of soccer and cafe feels very cool and very Balkan. At the heart of the place is a wall with hand carved Albanian art and well recognized Albanian eagle. It's interesting to gaze at these fragments of culture and appreciate the artistry. FOOD: I was surprised by the very budget-friendly bill. I purchased Turkish coffee and two bureks totaling about $12. I did not feel as though Turkish coffee was very authentic - too many grounds, and too acidic. It also did not have the usual awakening effect that I was going for. Bureks are traditional Balkan pastries with cheese and spinach. I selected two varieties and liked them. They were gold, savory, and just right for a light lunch. It was explained to me that bureks are very popular in Albania. The rest of the menu featured various coffees, wine, and small sweet bites. SERVICE: You can start your experience at this cafe by ordering at the counter, sitting down, and paying at the end. The service was great for a casual cafe. The cafe employee was attentive to my needs, checked on small things like my sugar needs. It was evident that most guests are regulars reconnecting with their culture. I enjoyed the bureks, the hospitality, and the location. I had a lovely little lunch at the cafe. I'd probably stop at some point during the summer to enjoy the patio and other coffee selections.

I love Six Shooter Coffee and typically visit the Waterloo location. However, I was in the area on…read morea Saturday morning, so I stopped in. This one feels a little less cozy, maybe because it's on a busier street and has less seating, but the vibes are still great. Menus are exactly the same. I got a fabulous pistachio and cardamom bevvie, as well as my beloved ham toastie. The service was absolutely amazing and I struck up a great convo with the ladies who assisted me. Six Shooter is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Cleveland for both the coffee (grounds are delicious and reasonably priced) and the good vibes. Really awesome and welcoming neighborhood feel. I love supporting this business.

I decided on the "Olive it a Latte" latte - a graza olive oil infused milk steamed with citrus pistachio simple syrup and poured over an espresso!! I was slightly scared after I ordered because I wasn't 100% sure about the flavor - but it was pretty good! Not my favorite ever but it was such a fun flavored latte to try!! - plus the guy who made my latte made it a point to show me the latte art before putting my to go lid on and that made my day! they were so kind!! Plus my friend really enjoyed the "Collinwood" espresso blend I got her - so all in all we were both happy...and what else can you ask for?

I typically go to the Rising Star in the Colonial Arcade, proximity to work and all, but the weekends lead to Ohio City where the sunlight poors in, the baristas are busy taking orders, making spectacular concoctions and working the ever growing line.

I love that the green and go fridge is always stocked and that they have local bagels and Jeff's Candy! Parking is a premium so be ready to walk the neighborhood on a busy weekend.

Phoenix Coffee on Madison Ave. in Lakewood is a local coffee shop that also serves tea (green tea,…read moreblack tea, Rooibos tea, Matcha, etc). This coffee shop has become my go-to spot when I want to work on my laptop since I'm a remote worker. TEA/COFFEE/PASTRIES -- I normally opt for the Rooibos tea, a herbal red tea from South Africa. I sometimes also get a cup of black tea. For a sweet treat, I like their blueberry muffin cookie which is a muffin but with crunchy edges like a cookie. The actual name of it is a Blueberry Muffin Top ($4). My friend Mike loves getting a hot Latte Breve which is coffee with half and half. I'm not a coffee drinker but they have all your traditional coffee drinks. I've tried an iced Matcha before with Oat Milk which was fine/not bad - the Matcha could have been stronger. They offer bagels, cookies, muffins, and muffin tops (cookie base and a muffin top consistency). SEATING -- There are 8 small table and chairs plus 2 small sofa's at the entrance. Although this is a small coffee shop, it is never packed with people. If there are a lot of people inside, it only lasts for 2-3 hours then it's almost empty again. So I love coming here because I know that I can always find a seat. Weekends may be busier though but I tend to just come during the week. PLANTS -- The sell plants which are placed at the back of the coffee shop. The plants are provided by Sixth City Cycles which is a bike and plant shop. SERVICE -- Customer service is always friendly. I have never encountered any issues. The only slight issue here is the Air Conditioner is always up high so it gets cold quickly. In addition, the music can sometimes be too loud. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 148/250 total reviews in 2026 - 989 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 26 June 2026

UPDATED REVIEW -- I recently visited again in late April 2026. I came in the morning to work. I sat…read moreat the back which is the room in the front right when you walk in from the main doors. There is also the main area (center part where you order) that has tables and chairs which is situated when you first walk in and then there is a back area towards the left that can be used as well. So, there are 2 back sections. DRINKS -- They sell matcha, tea, and coffee. I ordered a cup of Storehouse black tea with honey ($4 price, I think). I think the employee added too much honey in my tea because my stomach started hurting a little so I couldn't finish it but that's okay. I later got a mug of warm water which helped soothe my stomach. The cup of tea though is quite expensive but I like to support local businesses (Storehouse Tea is a Cleveland business). FOOD -- I also ordered a Rosemary bagel ($4) with a side of butter (.50 cents). The Rosemary bagel was delicious which isn't surprising because the owners make their own bagels. If you work remote then this coffee shop is for you as they have free wifi and plenty of tables to use. They have lots of chairs and tables laid out in three different sections. The music isn't as loud like most coffee shops in the area so I appreciated that. The back area towards the right only has 2 outlets available but thankfully, I got one to use. If you come with a laptop, make sure your battery is charged or find another seat where there is an outlet. TIP -- They sell packaged coffee to go, some packaged biscuit mix, and cute notebooks.
