If you love a cozy coffee moment like I do, you have to check out The Blue Cafe…read more The food was absolutely beautiful and generous in portion. Everything looked thoughtfully prepared and inviting. The ambiance was quiet and relaxing, with plenty of seating -- perfect if you want to sit and unwind for a bit. The barista was so pleasant and made delicious drinks. My sister kept it classic with coffee and cream, and I treated myself to a cinnamon vanilla maple syrup latte... and let me tell you -- it was just yummy. What really stood out to me was the service. We accidentally came in through the back and asked if we could bring our pup inside. Although they kindly said no (which we completely understood), they let us know that out front they offer a bowl of fresh water and puppy treats. That extra thoughtfulness meant so much. I also loved that they provide games to play while you're there and have a display filled with beautiful gift items if you're looking for something special. Definitely worth checking out. It's the kind of place you'll want to linger in.

PHOTOS ATTACHED!! I…read morevisited Propaganda Coffee in June 2025 with a church friend, Lizzie. She mentioned that she loved their sandwiches so I ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches. FOOD/DRINKS -- Limited food options but plenty of drink options. Typical pastries and breakfast sandwiches are available. During my June 2025 visit, I bought the Biscuit Sandwich ($10.50) that has Beyond sausage and vegan egg in it on a cheddar scallion biscuit, with hot sauce on the side. The biscuit sandwich was absolutely delicious. The uniqueness of the cheddar scallion biscuit matched perfectly with the vegan sausage and egg. I believe the biscuit is house-made. I'm not vegan but I loved this breakfast sandwich especially with add some hot sauce to bring out the flavour. Writing about this breakfast sandwich now is making my mouth water. I also got their banana bread that tasted good just as a typical banana bread would. The banana bread was soft and moist and they gave me two for the price of 1 perhaps because they wanted to get rid of them. Drink options are typical of most coffee shops serving both coffee and tea. During my June 2025 visit, I ordered a Matcha Spritz ($5.50) -- matcha, lemon juice, blueberry fruit syrup, sparkling water and ice. This was a very refreshing drink and not too sweet at all. I would definitely order their Matcha Spritz again. AMBIANCE -- Community focused as they have a bookshelf of free books to take (at least they did back in June 2025). As for lighting, the coffee shop isn't as bright inside as I prefer and the dark fixtures don't help. Free WiFi to use and a lot of people come here to work on their laptops. Service was good so I'll definitely be back. Parking is free street parking. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 84/250 total reviews in 2026 - 925 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 May 2026

The cold brew tastes excellent. You can taste all of the flavors of the coffee, and it is so creamy. I do not know how they do it. I have not tried much else because the cold brew is so good. Also, they serve it in an actual glass which is always a great touch. The selection of pastries (savory and sweet) is great for the kids. Every time I go to Cleveland, I make sure to make a stop at Phoenix.

Cute new cafe in the Southland shopping area. Located in a strip center (next to Gabe's), there is…read morefree parking. Stopped by on a weekday afternoon when it was farily quiet. The cafe is larger than expected. Spans far back where they have a tv set up, carom board game, and an area with a number of board games you can play while you dine. They have a large variety of drinks ranging from chai, lattes, boba, spritzers, mocktails, and plenty of desserts. The staff didn't seem too informed about the menu items or drinks, which was a bit disappointing. I relied on some online reviews to decide on my order. The saffron karak chai was very good and comes out piping hot. I would prefer if they served this in an actual mug (rather than paper cup) especially if dining in. It was filled to the brim and spilled, not to mention putting a steaming hot drink in a paper cup. Nonetheless, the chair was good. More folks eventually started to come in so I can imagine this place gets noisy as it fills up. There was a women's group meeting all sitting in a circle on the floor in the front of the cafe. Perhaps they host group events? Not sure if there were any vegan options or egg free desserts, but check out the chai.

A great cafe in Middleburg Heights!…read more My friend and I got mojitos ($7 each), a green apple fruit pastry ($15), and a slice of caramel tres leches cake ($7). I ordered the blue raspberry mojito, and it was refreshing and the right amount of sweet. My friend said it tasted like a blue Jolly Rancher, and she was absolutely right. I liked the design of the green apple fruit pastry, and it caught my eye when I saw it in the case. Luckily, I also liked the taste. The green part is a hard white chocolate shell, and inside were mousse, cake, and an apple puree with apple chunks. The inside was especially delightful, and both the mousse and cake were light and airy. I just wish the pastry was bigger - especially for the price, but I get that you're also paying for the aesthetic, and I was a fan of the aesthetic! The tres leches cake was rich and scrumptious. The cake was so moist and sweet. If you don't like your cakes REALLY sweet, you might not like the tres leches cake, but as I have a sweet tooth, I adored the cake. The decor and vibes were also great. Not too loud and a good spot if you want to work for a couple of hours.

All-time favorites for me will remain the waffle (any option with the cookie butter, like the paradise or Brasilliene), and the Karak chai. Their Belgian are always freshly made and perfect for those who love slightly denser doughy waffles. Their karak chai is always piping hot (definitely at risk of burning your tongue if you drink it too fast ). They're in a bigger location now where there's a lot more seating--I've come and did work with the WiFi with no issues. Parking available as free street parking. The owner is always friendly and recognizes his regulars. Great place whether you want waffles/crepes to-go or if you just want to stay and socialize or do work.

While the rest of Coventry neighborhood businesses are asleep, Euro Wafel fulfills late night sweet…read morecravings. It's a newish and long awaited cafe added to the Cleveland Heights dining scene. The cafe is located in the old BD's Mongolian Grill's space (no permanent signage just yet), prior to that it was Arabica. Euro Wafel has been around for a while in Cleveland at various markets and at the University Circle before arriving to the Heights. Euro Wafel creates a safe, late-night, alcohol-free experience. It's an interesting fusion of Belgian Liege waffles, French crepes, and Middle Eastern (Emirati) beverages. The cafe seems to be a work in progress. It's very casual, has pleasant light blue hues (furniture), couch, innovative lightings plenty of space for solo or group visits. The fireplace in the middle is kind of awkward but perhaps it will be used during colder seasons. Quiet music (French and Arabic) fills the space. There are big windows that make watching the rain outside very relaxing. During my visit most guests were younger crowd, all seemed to be regulars. It was steady customer flow considering it was after 9 PM on a weekday. Street parking is available in the area. Your most convenient option is to park in the Coventry parking lot across the street (free). Service was very attentive, the owner friendly and providing personalized attention to all customers. Your experience starts once you scan QR code with the menu, then you pay, pick a table, and wait for your order. The orders are up pretty quickly. Most guests chose to dine in tonight. So did I. Karak Chai: I love to sip different ethnic teas and coffees. And so, Karak chai (pronounced kah-rak with the emphasis on "rak") was an immediate "yasss!" The owner said that the recipe is his mother's. It's a traditional Emirati dessert chai. He said that the spices are a secret, but I picked up on cardamom and condensed milk. Traditionally, I read that saffron is also added. The tea was on the sweeter side, very tasty. It was lukewarm when I ordered it. Since I drink scorching hot beverages, I would have loved to try a hot version. I'll ask for it next time. The chai is pretty popular, many guests ordered it. Their website states that guests can also ask for a free sample/sip. Other options include refreshers, lattes, and matcha. Waffle: Waffle choices all looked good both by description and when they were presented to customers. I sat close to the counter and watched them all be handed to customers. By the way, each choice on the menu can be served as a waffle or as a crepe. I ordered The Celine with berry compote, vanilla butter cream, and vanilla ice cream. The waffle was very good, considerably better than any other similar waffle destination in the city. Compote was so flavorful, contained huge berries, and really tasted homemade. I was a huge fan of this compote and bet it would even be better on a crepe. The waffle was overwhelmingly sweet. Mixing waffle with Karak was definitely not the best choice, it was too sugary. Next time I'll order the two separately. I spent $19 something on the entire order. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. It was low key, welcoming, and flavorful. I would have loved to see definitive hours when this place is open. Various websites list different times, they seem to change (check before you venture out). I also would have loved to see some savory menu options like perhaps crepes with cheese and meats, fish, or other creations. I feel like I'd visit more often given some variety and savory options.

I opted for a white mocha and it was a bit sweeter then I would normally like but it wasn't cloyingly sweet. My experience was on me and my choice of drink. I'd be curious to try out more of their menu. There seemed to be no 12 oz option which is the size I usually get so the drink felt more expensive then what I usually pay for coffee but also I got a larger size then I normally do so it feels like it evens out. They do have a cocktail bar and they're open later than most coffee shops which is a big plus.
