After breakfast at Addy's, we stopped by Lionheart Coffee, and it was the perfect little pit stop. Such a cute space to grab coffee and reset. The service was great, especially considering how busy they were. They were kind, helpful with the menu, and handled the rush like pros, truly props to them. It's another great spot to grab coffee, get some work done, or catch up with a friend. The music was a little loud, but honestly... that never hurt anyone. read more

Lionheart Coffee is a solid downtown Cleveland coffee stop. The coffee is strong (which I love) and they have a great variety of flavors to choose from. Everything I've tried has been really good. I'm especially looking forward to summer when their refreshers come back -- those are a must try! Service can be a bit slow at times, but that's pretty expected for a smaller shop, especially with downtown foot traffic. Overall, it's a great local spot with quality drinks, and I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Lionheart Coffee is an inviting coffee shop in the heart of downtown. I experienced it twice - once for a book swap, and second time just craving caffeine while downtown. It's conveniently affixed to the 5th Street Arcades, so you can enter via Euclid Avenue and through the Arcade. AMBIANCE: The ambiance is radically cozy with plants, comfy furniture, and ambient lighting. There's also a nice Cleveland mural, which is a fun photo op. You can pause in the midst of downtown - grab a coffee, glance outside, and relax. The seating includes big tables for groups, individual tables, and a comfy couch. I have seen both groups and individuals enjoy their time here. FOOD/DRINKS: The menu is the expected cafe assortment - plain coffees, affogato, cappuccino, lattes, and more. Few snacks such as bagels and sweets are available for view in the bakery case. My latest order included 16 oz drip coffee ($3.50) and pecan roll ($4.50). The coffee was smooth. Pecan roll was perfectly hot and full of nutty flavor. I dislike when sweets are just lukewarm, but this one was piping hot and perfect. SERVICE: The service was okay, nothing notable. There are no friendly chats or opportunities to connect. Just expeditious order turnaround. I like Lionheart but certainly don't love it. Everything seems to be really good, but there is no wow factor. There's no particular coffee or snack that would keep me coming back to this coffee shop as a destination. Nonetheless, I'll stop in periodically when I'm downtown. If you live in the area or staying downtown, this might be a nice lowkey cup of coffee. read more

The ambiance of this coffee shop was really cute! Plenty of seating available on a Sunday @ 2 pm :) Unfortunately, the drink was very watered down and the matcha was a pre-mixed solution squirted out from a bottle. Not sure if I was supposed to ask for sweetener, but didn't come with any (so just be aware of that). Staff was really kind, but I didn't drink more than the amount in this photo and felt pretty bad throwing it out. The people around me all got some type of coffee and enjoyed them, so maybe just stick with coffee when you're here. I'll probably come back to try an iced tea, but matcha is a no read more

Such a cute coffee shop in downtown Cleveland! I asked the barista for a recommendation and we came up with a Butter Pecan iced latte with sweet cold foam and man if I could have extended my trip to come back that next morning, I would've without a doubt. Plenty of indoor seating which is nice if you want to work from there or just enjoy your coffee. Only thing I'd pass on are the pastries, they were on the stale side so not totally fresh but otherwise definitely recommend! read more

This was my first time stopping by Lionheart Coffee and it was fabulous. The place is a small little shop tucked downtown next to the 5th street arcade. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and they had nice music playing. The service was great and the baristas were friendly and seemed to be enjoying their time working which is always nice to see. The place had lots of places to sit and some people talking, others working, so great vibes all around. They offered a wide range of drinks from teas to specialty lattes and coffees. They also had some bakery and sandwiches offered which was nice. All of the coffees and tea were delicious and I appreciate the bold flavor especially in the nutella and peanut butter coffees you could taste that they use real Nutella and peanut butter and not just syrups. I felt the pricing was a bit expensive as everything was about 5/6 dollars however the size they gave was large so that was nice, and the quality of the coffee also made the price not seem so bad. If downtown strolling the streets definitely stop into Lionheart coffee for a nice place to sit and chat with friends with high quality drinks and atmosphere. read more

Lion Heart Coffee is a quaint little coffeeshop with a great eclectic vibe. They have a variety of fresh roasted beans that make a nice cup of your favorite drink. My latte tasted smooth, not bitter and served at a good temperature. Service is friendly. They have nice comfortable seating where you can meet friends, do work or just relax. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: I'm not sure why I rated their Matcha 5/5 in my previous Yelp review especially because it is made unsweetened. But even without sweetener, some Matcha's just taste better than others depending on where they are sourced or bought from. The Matcha drink here at Lionheart Coffee is really a 3.5/5 (to me) as I've had better tasting Matcha. Nonetheless, I like Lionheart Coffee as customer service has always been friendly and efficient when I've visited in the past. I don't drink coffee so I can't comment on that. I visited again on an afternoon in October 2024 to work for a few hours. I ordered their Masala Chai tea which tasted fine. I hardly visit Lionheart Coffee because I don't work downtown so I can't easily come here during the week. I don't mind visiting again if I'm in the area. Maybe I'll try a muffin or cookie next time. read more

If you're looking for a coffee shop in the Euclid Avenue area this is the place. Outrageously busy (in a good way) the staff were friendly and courteous and the service was quick. Salted Caramel Nutella latte was a miss for me but it's because I tried somethinf I normally don't get. Overall their coffee (I tried a few others in our party) was a blast of flavor and a comfortable space to drink it in. read more

The young lady at the counter recommended my Cortado over ice. Not only it was really delicious and strong but I'm a changed man now. Might have it iced moving forward. This place was super cozy. Lots of people were working on their computers, family enjoying coffee and pastries, and it is not very noticeable from the street but definitely its delicious hidden gem. read more

What a treat finding this place when I needed a caffeine boost, and to get out of the heat. It's a small coffee shop with seatings around. They serve the typical coffee shop menu and pastries. Today, I opted for the matcha latte with strawberry puree and almond milk. My husband ordered the strawberry refresher with lemonade. A few short minutes and our order was called out to be picked up from the counter. I thought my matcha was okay tasting. I wish they made their own strawberry puree but it was not, so it tasted a bit artificial. My husband enjoyed his drink as he is a fan of real and artificial strawberries. read more

Convenient location, mediocre execution. The interior of Lionheart is super cute with lots of plants and soft decor/seating. It feels really cozy. Unfortunately I was unable to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. I ordered a cafe au lait with toasted marshmallow syrup and was very shocked to see that they charge per pump of syrup. Not just for each syrup, literally per pump. I told the barista that I thought it was ridiculous but continued on. I found a nice seat at the front of the shop facing the street and attempted to connect to the WiFi. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to. I put the password in a few times and then went up to the front with my computer to check that I had the right password. I asked the barista if there was something wrong with it and was told "No. Sometimes it just stops if there are too many people on. You can try to connect to The Arcade or another business." She was very nonchalant about it and seemingly didn't care for my business. I packed up my things and left. The entire interaction was odd and uncomfortable. Maybe it was me and my annoyance about the syrup situation, but the baristas weren't very friendly either. The coffee was good, but I doubt I return anytime soon. read more

Overpriced and the coffee (cappuccino) was awful. Burnt roast. Super bitter. Would not recommend.

Lion Heart is great at first glance! Clearly designed to be stylish and instagram picture worthy. That's where the positives stop. The coffee itself is a major letdown. The baristas don't have a grasp on how to pull quality espresso and drinks are handled carelessly. (Pouring scalding hot espresso directly into plastic cups, not mixing the drinks properly, etc.) As unpleasant as that is in its own rights, their flavoring relies on low quality Torani syrups which overpower the coffee instead of complimenting it. It's a place that prioritize aesthetics over fundamentals and it shows. Not to mention the price is absolutely outrageous for this low quality product. If you're serious about coffee, there are so many better options in Cleveland. read more

I stayed at a hotel directly across the street that did not have any good coffee options (or any coffee options at all, tbh) so I was very relieved to see the Lionheart with solid reviews directly across the street. WHEW! I admittedly didn't spend much time here but they were there for me in my time of need with a very good, locally roasted coffee brewed into the most delicious cold brew (with a nice house made syrup to sweeten it up just a touch) so overall my experience was quite positive. Staff wasn't the warmest but I didn't really stick around too long to engage too deeply. I was there around 11ish and didn't see much by way of grab and go food options (like pastries and the like) though they did have a few sandwiches. I didn't have time to wait and nothing really grabbed me so I just took my drink and zipped back out into the downtown Cleveland streets. read more

This is one of the highlights in my short Cleveland trip. This cute cafe is adorned with plants and the proud Cleveland wall really adds to the charm. Plus the March menu! I ordered the Lucky Lion... blood orange, coconut and matcha latte. What a unique combo! I asked for less sweetness and the barista nailed it for me. Plenty of workable tables on a weekday morning to enjoy my drink and do some work for an hour or so. Plus the location is so central, downtown Cleveland and right across from our hotel. I mean I can't say the same when I'm back home in Toronto, Canada... to find so much space to work and so central downtown at a local coffee shop, you gotta be lucky sometimes. read more

Lovely coffee shop in downtown Cleveland, close to the Cleveland Public Square. I was in town for work and needed a pick-me-up after a two hour drive from Columbus. It was going to be a long day and I wasn't even half way through it. I found Lionheart on Yelp and it happened to be right around the corner from where I was meeting a coworker a little while later. It was exactly what I needed. I ordered their seasonal drink - Luck of the Matcha (latte) with oat milk and got some work done. The drink had Irish cream and coconut in it and it was divine! I would totally order it again. I'm always a sucker for a creative seasonal drink. The space itself was fairly small but really cozy and welcoming. I loved all the windows, greenery and the giant Cleveland mural on the wall. Heads up - they don't have a bathroom, you have to go to the neighboring business if that's needed but that was the only hiccup I ran into - no big deal at all. I would totally visit again the next time I'm in Cleveland. read more

Arrived at the coffee shop and stood in line for 10 minutes. This is understandable because custom drinks take time. I asked for a bag of roasted beans. I've bought beans from this location before. The attendant at the counter informed me that pouring the beans into a bag takes too much time and they were busy. At this time there was only one person behind me. I asked how long it would take if I ordered a signature coffee? Isn't that the same time commitment to bag up beans? She said that she had drinks to make and I should come back another day. I'll let you decide for yourself if this is good service. read more

We arrived at the uncanny hour of 5:00PM on a Sunday, after spending hours exploring the splendors within the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pooped and in desperate need of some serious caffeination, we took a short brisk walk to the Lionheart. Upon entrance, we thought it was closed. Thankfully, we learned they were in fact open due to the blasting of the Victorious Soundtrack. With many delectable specials to choose from, our party got the Valiant and the Matcha Matcha Man. The Valiant was sweet, refreshing, and was the perfect boost of caffeine after a draining day. The Matcha Matcha Man was not as energizing, but what it lacked it caffeine, it made up for in tastiness and stunning presentation. The shortbread and dark cherry conocotion was one for the books. The chairs were comfortable but there lowkey was dander on the table. We rank 3.5 out of 5 read more

Downtown at other Yelp events and I just had to stop in for some coffee and some of their gluten free desserts. The coffee is great as always. They unfortunately didn't have any of the GF chocolate cake, but did have some GF peanut butter and raspberry cookies. Those were soft and the raspberry creamy filling took the stage in the taste more than the peanut butter. The coffee beans are ground right after you order. And a slow pour to brew the final product together. Wow, watching it being all assembled, Peter in motion. The spot was much more crowded since I last came through. A larger table of adults on maybe a work lunch. And a few college aged kids putting together their work with some coffee. Good to see the word has gotten out on Lionheart!! read more

I came here twice while visiting Cleveland. The first time I came the coffee was super bitter, the drink I got was hot girl summer. The second time I came I tried to do some work on my laptop but the WiFi password they show was not correct. If the WIFI worked it would be a much nicer place to hang out but instead I used my hotspot l. The drink I got the second time was much better, a nutella latte. This is the only coffee place that stays open late (they're now open till 8pm) so that is for sure a bonus for someone who needs an evening coffee break. read more

Came over for my morning latte, and I appreciated the variety of specialty lattes on the menu. I tried the valiant latte: a medium sized latte sweetened with honey and flavored with vanilla bean. The flavor was excellent, though the size was smaller than I expected. (No size was indicated on the menu nor was I promoted to pick a size by the barista.) Overall, a delicious latte and a great vibe to this little coffeeshop nestled in the heart of downtown. I'd definitely bring my laptop for a couple hours of work in the future. (Free parking is a bit hard to find though, be forewarned.) I definitely will be back! read more

Visited Lionheart today and ordered a hot Golden Nutella latte, and a traditional croissant. The latte was very good, but super sweet - but I love sweet. The croissant was from Luna and was good - nothing too special though. What was exceptional was the service. The ladies working were super sweet and super helpful! Downside of the place, was the lack of seating inside the shop. There was "bar type" seating along the window and a couple big tables, but as soon as a single person sits in the middle of the table by themself, it doesn't leave space for anyone else to sit. However, there is seating in the arcade itself, which is where I had to go to enjoy my coffee and croissant. read more
