    The latte I ordered was so good that I got another and was super caffeinated. Service was quick and friendly. It's always rad to see an establishment support the community (:

    Really trendy coffee/matcha place with pastries. Music isn't too loud and seating is conducive to studying with plenty outlets available. Got a drink off their specialty menu - matcha spritz (super nice barista recommended it with blackberry fruit syrup). Bit more on the tart end, which drowns out the matcha a bit, but overall really yummy spritz! Side street metered parking available. Pretty easy to find on a Sunday afternoon.

    Solid. I missed the treats - I was too late. It was noonish so that's fair. My latte was delicious. It was brown sugar cinnamon and espresso, I can't remember the cool name. The Fake News Bowl was good but it was actually fake news as it was supposed to have Just Egg and vegan sausage and there were very little there. (A bite or two.) It was mostly all potatoes, they were well seasoned but mostly undercooked, too. I would return for the nice vibe but I would get there earlier for sure.

    Sometimes I visit a new place and have all the menu questions and this coffee spot got to be my recent victim. The barista was very friendly with me and my 10 minutes of 21 questions. I ended up with the monthly special, hot red bean oat milk latte. While the flavor was subtle I really enjoyed the uncommon coffee flavor. Thanks for putting up with inquiries and for the tasty drink.

    Vietnamese style iced coffee with ube cold foam. Very fast service and ample seating with large windows at the front.

    I am overjoyed to share that this place is all vegan and gluten free! As someone who tried out gluten free for a while (doctor's orders) - I was so glad I could enjoy a drink AND food from Propaganda Coffee. Though portion sizes were pretty small, the food was scrumptious. The overall ambiance was splendid, though seating was limited. The skeleton at the bar is an excellent touch! Staff were helpful and put up with all of my questions and requests (thank you).

    Stopped by this place as I was walking through lakewood, it's an entirely vegan, gluten free, and dairy free place. There was a good amount of options of food to eat and nice if you are GF. Bonus points for the aluminum cups!! Kept the drink very very cold!! :) I don't love almond/oat milk so it was an adjustment for me but it was pretty good! I got the McKinley Place, with espresso and coconut water and almond milk. It was pretty good and you would love it if you like almond milk. I also tried the hot French raspberry, and it was super sweet and yummy. A fun place to try if you are in the area but keep in mind the milk options if you do not enjoy dairy free options :)

    I love this place! Amazing coffee tea and food does it get better !? The service is exceptional and the ambiance is super chill. I really enjoy coming here and trying all the different pastries and drinks. Definitely recommend.

    These guys are the sweetest! Exceptional service by the staff. When I ordered a gingerbread latte and didn't like it much, they gladly made a peppermint mocha latte for me! Love that the drinks come in an actual mug if you dine in and not paper cups. Everything here is vegan and delish! I tried the bagel & lox (smoked carrot) with capers. The bagel could have been toasted a bit more for my taste, but overall good vegan cream cheese and balance with capers. They offer oat or almond milk options for drinks. There are great pastry options like scones, brownies, donuts, and banana bread. All vegan everything. They also sell fresh packages coffee to brew at home. Get "Woke" with their coffee haha Cozy setting with a fireplace and options for tables/chairs or bar seating. Love everything about this local vibe. Go on a Sunday and you'll find free street parking. Free WiFi and restrooms are available. Chill spot you can actually get some reading done or work on your laptop. Music jamming in the background, but not loud enough to be annoying. I'll be back for more soon!

    AMAZING COFFEE SHOP!! Truly can't say enough good things about Propaganda. As soon as you walk into the shop, you feel at home. The baristas are so nice and personable when ordering. I'm so glad I was able to experience this wonderful place before moving out of Lakewood. They have ample amount of seats & wifi so you can "WFH" or meet up with clients here. Their overnight oats had me visit propaganda 3 times in one week. I'm not sure what they do to them, but I couldn't get enough of them. Great addition to the Lakewood neighborhood. They have street parking along with a small parking lot next to the building.

    This place is awesome! My husband is gluten free and it's great that we can come here and he can pick whatever he wants and not worry! Most of the time GF items do not taste as great as "regular" foods - but anything I've ever eaten here tastes "regular". Coffee is good too! They use Ready-Set beans and brew them to perfection! The staff has always been so friendly and helpful...

    A great addition to Lakewood's coffee scene! The inside is very cozy with lots of tables and a bar to sit at. It's a good place to bring your computer and work. I ordered the pumpkin spice latte and it was very good, not too overly sweet. I didn't get anything to eat but there were several baked goods/small plates to choose from. I like that they change their food menu seasonally too. Definitely worth trying out, even if you're not vegan!

There was plenty of seating in the back as well. We got drip coffee and cold brew, both of which had great flavor. The baristas were friendly and helpful. There were a couple dogs inside, so it's def a dog friendly place (win-win!).

    Goodkind is one of the many adorable coffee shops in Lakewood. Something that makes it stand out is…read morethat it's fairly large with ample seating on two sides. There's plenty of single tables and a few larger tables for meeting or working with a group. The space is airy and bright. I love the blue accents and wallpaper. It's def quiet and comfortable to feel good about spending a few hours there on a weekday. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, great vibes here. My coffee was delicious. I got a cafe au lait with one of their cinnamon seasonal syrups. I will say this isn't the spot if you're looking for breakfast with your coffee. I got one of their grab and go biscuit sandwiches which was prepackaged and sitting in their cooler. They did warm it up for me, but it wasnt very good. The meat was still kind of cold, so I just ate the biscuit with some honey. I can't really hold it against them, I don't think they make food there. I probably would have been better off just getting a bagel. I love touring the many coffee shops of Lakewood and am happy to finally make it to Goodkind Coffee.

    Pro Tip: Visit to get a pic by their cool Lakewood mural inside the store…read more Walking into Burning River Coffee was a bit like stumbling into a local secret - a combo of smoke shop and coffee shop. The front is unassuming, and this combo isn't something you see every day, but somehow, it works... or at least, it's interesting enough to give it a shot. I visited the coffee shop side while working nearby (walking distance) at the co-working center (Icon Cowork). I ordered the red eye. Honestly? It delivered. It wired me for days. It was extremely strong and not well crafted (too much, definitely not barista made). But boy did it do its job. While at the coffee shop, I noticed a small menu of other drinks and no baked goods in the case. It just really had the basics. Service was very quick. The barista (who worked both sides of the house) was nice enough, but the vibe was more transactional than inviting. Not rude, just kind of indifferent. The space had enough tables to sit at and very quiet atmosphere. One thing I couldn't ignore was the scent of vape juice hanging in the air. It didn't bother me personally, but I can see how that could be a turn-off if you're expecting more of a traditional coffee shop aesthetic. Of note is that both sides of the business have the same entrance. They're working on dividing the space into two separate ones according to my quick chat with the employee. Currently the coffee shop has no age restrictions while the smoke shop is 21+. Overall? Burning River Coffee is quirky and good for a simple cup of coffee. It's not a textbook coffee shop experience -- it's its own thing. Just don't expect the usual indie-coffeehouse playlist and aesthetic. Expect something unexpected and different.

    Another "don't judge a book by its cover" review. It is more of a coffee bar inside a vape shop,…read morethan it is an actual coffee shop. The location is great to walk to neighborhood shops and restaurants in Lakewood. The friendly staffer really worked her latte magic! She said she always adds a little bit of vanilla to punch up the flavors of the lattes. The coffees were so good. I also appreciated that they used lots of ice....perfectly cold and creamy. The baked goods looked nothing like the pictures on Yelp, but they did have several vegan and gf options. This morning they also had fresh cinnamon rolls.

Brewellas has been a Lakewood staple for as long as…read moreI've lived in Cleveland, especially for all the whimsical, magical, vintage girlies out there. They had definitely outgrown their old space, so it's exciting to see them just down the street in a new home thats size finally matches the amount of people who are dying for a coffee and crepe. The new spot has two giant rooms with plenty of seating, including the cutest little VHS corner. There's so much more room now to really enjoy the quaint grandma's living room vibe that Brewellas has always been iconic for. Their coffee and crepes are always delicious. Currently they don't have a huge seasonal menu like they normally would, but the classics + pistachio are more than enough for me right now! I cannot wait to go back!

    I love how Brewella's commits to celebrating every season with over-the-top decor. It's my favorite…read morereason for visiting this cafe now for years. I most recently stopped in during fall to winter transition when the cafe was already dressed up for Christmas - paper snowflakes descending from the ceiling, read bows and stockings adorning the walls, and a Christmas tree in the window. So festive! AMBIANCE: Cafe is one open space with vintage vibes - floral and funky wallpaper, vintage and artisan accessories sold at the cafe, and antique gold frames decorating the walls. The vibes are cozy and calm. The back of the cafe features barista lounge where baristas can relax during their shift, which is a nice amenity. The tables at the cafe get very quickly filled. I almost always get my order to go due to the lack of seating options. My only hesitation about visiting is the lack of one seat options/nooks. I sometimes like to go to a cafe to sit down for a while, read a book, and just pause. There are no options to have this experience here. While I always want to linger, I just take my order to go. If you do manage to get a table as a solo guest, there are some books by the checkout that I'm sure you can borrow. FOOD/DRINKS: Brewella's always invents fun seasonal specials - drinks and food. I always order from the seasonal menu. I also always order crepes. It's hard to find crepes around here that are well prepared. They get them just right at this cafe every single time. This time I ordered Merry Maple Latte ($5), Pear & Brie Crepe ($11). I wasn't crazy about either choice. Merry Maple Latte was too heavy on the milk that overpowered the flavors. I couldn't taste maple at all. Pear & Brie Crepe also didn't hit the spot due to pears. They were too mushy for my liking and too artificially flavored. I feel like pear jam substitute would be a better choice. While I wouldn't order these specific menu items again, I always love crepes and lattes at Brewella's. SERVICE: The service is pretty transactional. I tend to chat with the baristas at other local cafes, often know their names, and enjoy the interaction. Here the service is quick but there are no warm interactions. It's really what I like the least about Brewella's, there's a lack of connection. PARKING: Only street parking available. Parking is a bit hard to come by during the weekends. I plan to arrive early in the day for my next Brewella's visit and bring some friends to enjoy the table seating. I can't wait to see Valentine's Day decor at Brewella's and new drink creations! If you love holiday decor and inventive seasonal drinks this the place for you!

I ordered a 16oz iced salted maple caramel latte with oat milk and a plain bagel with cream cheese and was totally gagged when my bill was under ten dollars, Seattle could never. Not only that, but I am a cream cheese lover and when I asked for extra cheese for my bagel the barista was so kind and gave me more and didn't even charge me. And when I say this was the best bagel I have ever had in my life, my bestie thinks they might be pan fried, and I have no idea but they are the perfect texture with the right amount of crunch!! It paired perfectly with the cream cheese and honestly this bagel is going to live rent free in my brain until my next visit to Lakewood.
