You can tell a lot of care goes into both the drinks and the overall experience. I love when my matcha is made with a sweet design. If you're looking for a local coffee spot with great vibes, quality coffee, and exceptional service, this is definitely a place to visit. I can't wait to come back and try more from the pastry menu! I did not know they've been around for sometime. A true neighborhood gem. Highly recommend!

This location of Rising Star Coffee Roasters was such an unexpected treat that I had to come back a…read moresecond time during my conference trip! I tried both the Promised Land Latte (cinnamon and honey) and the seasonal special Cowboy Cold Brew (cold brew with milk and sarsaparilla syrup). The Promised Land Latte was good, not too sweet, a little thin on the mouthfeel but overall good flavor. The Cowboy Cold Brew was such a treat: a combination I have never tried, but it worked surprisingly well. It was like a root beer and a cold brew were mixed together for a refreshing drink with very familiar yet unique flavor. It was also such a treat when I turned the cup around and saw the "yeehaw" written on it :-) I also tried the everything bagel with honey brie walnut cream cheese, and whoever is supplying Cleveland with these specialty cream cheeses knows what they're doing! I enjoyed the honey brie walnut cream cheese so much that I made a third trip to this location, just to get a side of it to put it on extra pita I had laying around. What also makes this location special is the location! I enjoyed my latte inside the Arcade, and the beautiful architecture and interior design were so incredible. It was a wonderful break in the day. Great, efficient service, delicious drinks, good vibes all around!

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'm partial to a chai, whole milk extra hot with cardamom to punch it up, it's perfect every time. 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.

This was my first time in so I decided to try a regular coffee and the breakfast sandwich. I found the coffee to be tasty, taking a cup to go. The highlight is my visit was the breakfast sandwich. Served on a perfectly toasted buttery bread and the eggs were perfectly scrambled. This sandwich left me wishing it was bigger. If I'm in the area I'll definitely be going again.

An Amazing Coffee Shop Right Inside the Hyatt Regency!…read more What a fantastic find right inside the Hyatt Regency, next to the Arcade in Cleveland! Rising Star is a cozy, well-run coffee shop serving excellent coffee, coffee beans, and pastries. We tried the Cardamom Bomb and Promised Land Latte, along with a lemon poppy seed muffin and a chocolate chip scone. Everything was solid, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! They even serve a small cup of sparkling water with your coffee because, sometimes, it's the little things that make all the difference. Five stars for sure! Thanks, Rising Star, for a wonderful coffee experience in Cleveland. We'll definitely remember this spot!

I've been eyeing some of the items on their matcha menu for a while but I like the Sol Cold Brew so much I can't bring myself to come and not order it! They also have empanadas and a few other pastries that are a great snack to have with your coffee. Service is generally very quick and even though I usually take my coffee to go, there are a few tables, as well as stools along a countertop that you can sit at to enjoy your coffee. Parking is fairly easy (free street parking) as the street the cafe is located on is not busy. Overall, Dahlia is one of my favorite cafes in Cleveland and I am always looking for the next excuse to come to the Lakewood area so I can come back to Dahlia's :)

We sat on the sofa by the fireplace which created a cozy feeling. I came again on March 14, 2026 with the same group of friends (minus 1) to chat and read books/magazines. I also visited another time alone on March 24, 2026 to work on my laptop during the day. AMBIANCE -- the coffee shop is well lit with natural light coming out of the big main door. There are tables and chairs for working plus two big sofas by a fire place for sitting. FOOD/DRINKS -- I ordered a hot chocolate during my November 2025 visit. It's really rich and tastes good. You may choose your choice of regular milk or an alternative milk such as oat milk or almond milk. My friends who drink coffee ordered various lattes which they enjoyed drink. During my March 24, 2026 visit, I ordered a Raspberry Croissant - $4.50 plus a Masala Chai with Cardamon - $5.25). The Masala chai (black tea with cardamom) was rich and creamy. It was perfect. The raspberry croissant was as expected, sweet on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. Service has been friendly and efficient everything I've come. WiFi is quick and connects fast. I'll definitely be back to this coffee shop to work. Their masala chai with added cardamom is a great hot tea drink. *The only issue that I have is that their A/C can be put on too high so I get cold when I'm sitting inside. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 122/250 total reviews in 2026 - 963 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 7 June 2026

They use real peanut butter as part of the latte, along with two shots of espresso that had me bouncing off the walls later.
