There's lots of tables and chairs for meetings and to get work done. I didn't check the outlet situation, but plenty of the tables are around the walls, so hopefully there are enough outlets. I also liked that they had a good amount of countertop seating around the coffee bar. They have a few savory pastries and also sweet treats. They roast Heartwood Coffee beans and have a good amount of syrups, as well as seasonal drinks. I got a cardamom and honey cafe au lait and the spinach and feta pastry. You can ask for them to warm it up a bit which was nice. I'm not sure where the pastry was from or if they make their own, but it was fine. The coffee drink was great. Noise level was fine.

A charming spot in Little Italy!…read more This place offered a cozy atmosphere. It almost felt like walking into someone's house with the funky decor and unique, not quite matching furniture. I got the falafel sandwich ($8), shak-shooka ($9.50), and a coffee drink called the Cafe Algebra ($4). The food was delicious. The sandwich was filled with flavorful, moist falafel as well as fresh vegetables, tahini, and hummus, all wrapped in a warm, fluffy pita. I also enjoyed the shak-shooka. It was a flavorful dish made with tomatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and caramelized onions. It also came with warm pita on the side. For the price, I thought the sandwich and shak-shooka had decent-sized portions. But I wasn't the biggest fan of my drink. It came in a small mug and wasn't sweet enough for my taste. And even after I added some sugar to it, I still found it kind of bland. However, I will certainly come back for the food! A few notes - you order at the counter first. You can watch the staff cook your food as you wait for your order. After you finish your meal, you pay as you walk out. If you use your credit card, it does come with a 3% fee.

When and how did I discover Algebra Tea House? I don't exactly remember. I think it was around…read more2011. (It could have been earlier but my 5 star review of this place 16 years ago is an objective starting point). Although I have spent much of the past 23 years living in various places outside of both Cleveland and Ohio, I'm a born and raised East Side Clevelander. And whenever I resettle in the area, I always find myself gravitating back to Algebra Tea House for the good vibes. In the past several months that I have been visiting, I'm happy to see the place really feels like a cultural community hub and an outright neighborhood institution. Over the years, many unique small businesses that have shuttered operations in Coventry (China Treasure House, Big Fun, Record Revolution, La Cave du Vin), Cedar-Fairmount (Nighttown). I'm so happy to see that Algebra Tea House is thriving and continuing to create a unique and inviting environment for the neighborhood. I love the unpretentious and lo-fi atmosphere and operation. I love the DIY craftsmanship that permeates in every aspect of the business. The food and beverage options are also quite good. Although I haven't been around for many years, I think maybe there are more offerings on the menu these days. I especially love the vegetable stews on their chalkboard menu and the foul madamas (fava beans). Service is lo-fi and very casual. Just place your order at the counter. It is written on a scratch pad. Sit down and be patient. The food or beverage will then be delivered to your table. Pay on your way out. Bring cash if you want to avoid a credit card transaction fee.

I had the tomato cucumber salad, seafood salad and couscous. Each was excellent and very satisfying. My wife also got some macaroons which were delicious! I highly recommend going to Little Italy just to check it out but definitely go to Presti's. You will be happy you did!

I especially appreciated that they have a separate panini press for gluten-free orders. That kind of attention to cross-contact makes a huge difference! The PB&J cookie was so good, and my soup and panini were both great. It was really nice to have several gluten-free choices and have everything taste delicious. The only downside was the guy who took my order. He wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming and honestly looked and sounded like he would rather be anywhere else. Thankfully, the food more than made up for the less-than-enthusiastic service

A cute spot in the University Circle area!…read more I came here on a warm April day and was craving some ice cream. I got a cup of matcha soft serve ($5.95) and the strawberry layer cake ($6.95). The matcha soft serve was great. Cold, refreshing, and the perfect amount of sweetness that complemented the matcha flavor. I would definitely come back for the soft serve, especially since Cleveland has a tragic lack of places that offer matcha soft serve. I also enjoyed the cake. The cake itself was light, soft, and not too sweet. The strawberry jam wasn't bad and wasn't cloyingly sweet, but I did wish the cake came with more than one fresh strawberry. The cafe is small and has a few tables. The decor was absolutely adorable.

This location in particular makes solid bubble tea, though my biggest gripe is that the wait time is always very long. Even when I order ahead, I feel like I end up waiting there for 15+ minutes just to get bubble tea. My go to bubble teas here are the winter melon milk tea, the oolong milk tea, as well as a variety of the fruit teas.

As we were driving through Cleveland, we decided to stop and get a drink. Oolong Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.60) - The tea was way oversteeped, resulting in a very roasted, almost burnt taste. I asked for half sweet, but the sweetness level came out at around quarter sweet if compared to other boba shops. The boba was not good - I could tell it was honey soaked, but it was not cooked nearly enough. Quite hard and not a great texture. What happened to this Kung Fu Tea location? It used to be so good and now it's very mediocre. Then again, this might be a company-wide issue with Kung Fu Tea. Since the pandemic, I've been to multiple locations and I have not been impressed with any of them. I definitely do not recommend this place. I might have to swear off trying other KFT locations too given that it seems like their tea and boba is consistently disappointing.

A fantastic gelato spot in Little Italy!…read more The shop offers a wide variety of flavors. After trying a sample, I went with a large scoop of frutti di bosco, a mixed berry gelato. Though I did raise an eyebrow at the price ($6.75), the friendly staff really stuffed the cup with gelato and packed it in there, so the large scoop is indeed large. The frutti di bosco was utterly refreshing, and the flavor tasted great, like actual berries. The smooth and dense gelato contained a bunch of berry bits. Looking forward to trying more of their flavors! The shop has a few tables if you want to dine in. If you use a credit card, it does come with a 3% fee.
