Honey Oatmilk Iced coffee - add blueberry
Hannah K.

This is me and my husbands weekend staple & how we start our Saturday & we can't recommend this place enough. The only downside is that this place 100% needs to expand bc the rushes are insane The pastries are delish - so far we've tried the cream cheese danish, the house crumb cake, the grandmas coffee cake (i think.. im now blanking on it...), blueberry muffin & the raspberry lemon muffin. All very yummy!! We've tried all sorts of coffee & they have new flavors & creations all the time! Their July flavors were Apple/Blueberry Pie; my personal fave is the toasted coconut - tastes like a creamy beach trip The atmosphere is adorable & rustic; decent amount of indoor seating as well as outdoor, not much standing room when it's busy bc you're just constantly in someone's way whether its a worker or a customer. The service is quickly and easy & we love the punch cards they offer. I love how much merchandise is available for sale & i get so excited to see the new pottery from the local Typically we go around 12 pm on a Saturday but this time we went closer to 10 AM and spend the most amt of time - it unfortunately took 31 minutes from getting in line to getting back into the car. My husband had finished his coffee while waiting for a *toasted bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel that apparently was put in as a SEC on an everything bagel & not toasted lol We have never had any issues before, the service is always great and the food is delicious & warm, so i guess this one time was just a crazy rush! Rocky River is wonderful & I highly recommend!

Baked Goods
Tori P.

I wasn't too impressed with our first visit. It wasn't bad, just wasn't great either. There is plenty of parking available in the lot directly behind the shop. Inside there are several seating options including 2-person, 4-person tables and comfy arm chairs. They also have a charming outdoor patio. The menu offers a great variety including monthly specialty drinks. The have several baked goods and blue bell ice cream available as well. The wait wasn't too bad considering they were fairly busy. I tried the blueberry pie latte. It was okay, but I was expecting more flavor. It tasted like a regular hot latte. Good service, nothing that stood out, but again, they were busy. Would give it another shot, but I'll probably stick to the basics next time.

Lucky Charms Latte
Alexandra M.

Rocky River Cafe is a super cute spot! I met a friend here for coffee and the inside is adorable with lots of seating and they have a lovely patio as well. I tried their Lucky Charms Latte which was super tasty and a breakfast sandwich which hit the spot. The staff was kind and efficient and I will definitely be adding this coffee shop to my rotation!

Salted caramel mocha!
Jasmine D.

Got me a salted caramel mocha with oat milk at a warm temp. My fav & they did an excellent job!

Jake P.

Got the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. Took them 20 minutes to make it. Luke warm at best. Bagel not toasted. I guess you need to specify (they didn't ask how I wanted it). Service was ok. Also, the temp in the cafe was around 65. Bring a hoodie if you come.

Karina T.

I've been here twice and both times were pleasant. My husband and I were rushing a few days ago to get to the airport but wanted to grab coffee and food before so we ended up here. The service was fast and received exactly what we wanted. I ordered the lavender latte and it was delicious!! I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I needed it that day. I also got the bagel with cream cheese and bacon egg and cheese. The bacon, egg, and cheese could have used a little more flavor but it wasn't bad. The coffee shop is also a good place to work (which is what I did the first time I visited). It's quiet and there's an outdoor area too.

Coffee NY Crumb Cake
Cara P.

Such a cute coffee shop with delicious aka dangerous food lol. I went with a friend on a Sunday and it was packed so i knew it would be good. Service was quick, food was great, and the vibe was nice. Coffee was good too! I'll be back!

Butterbeer Iced Latte
Bentley K.

Stopped here on the way to an appointment and decided to try their seasonal butter beer latte. Its SO delicious!!! Love a unique flavored coffee! Staff was really sweet as well. Will be back!

Gerard S.

Great Coffee, exceptional customer service. This small local business is worth the trip over a national name brand. Just visit once to feel the experience.

First timer and I'm spreading the word! Came on Wednesday around 9am. I've heard about it so I was…read morein the area and decided to check it out. The vibe is everything. Absolutely beautiful. Not crowded on this day and time. Super spacious. Noise level was cool. Diversity in the customers: some eating, some working, some talking and drinking, some reading, groups, couples, individuals. Seating is diverse as well from two person tables to comfy sofas. We chose to sit at a floor to ceiling window in the sun on a comfy sofa. Service was great, being our first time the menu was explained. We were given a number for our drinks and they were brought to us about 5-7 min late. My tea was picked up right as I finished it. Located in the pavilion in university area across from the hospital. They are on the second floor so if mobility access is a concern, there's a walk from the parking lot and no way to get any closer. There is plenty of shared parking though. Very clean, chill space. I'm not a coffee drinker, I hear it's delicious. But my matcha tea was good. My daughter loved her Dubai chocolate Frappuccino. I'll be back and will definitely try the Dubai chocolate waffle or the croissant: decisions decisions.

It's a very happening spot for young and old, families and friends, people looking to work, and others just there to chill and relax. The line was out the door for the duration of my time there, but do not let that deter you. They have ample space to handle the crowd and it's well staffed with people constantly walking around helping and answering questions. Service is fast and everyone is so nice. They have a variety of seating arrangements which makes it great for large or small groups. This may sound like a lot is going on, and it is...but at the same time it's very relaxing and chill. You place your order at the counter and I'm telling you, they have a great variety to choose from. My party shared some chicken flatbread, a Caprese style appetizer(not its name), and sweet potato cheesecake. Whe all enjoyed some coffee made to order for our liking. We even ordered some pistachio and dubai chocolate desserts to go. Everything was superb! We sat and talked for hours and just soaked in the environment. I had such a great experience and I'm really looking forward to dining here again.

I will say that I could feel the pistachio syrup at the bottom with my straw and there seemed to be a lot of it. The drink was a tad too sweet for my liking, even though the pistachio flavor really came through. I would stop by this place in the future if I was in the area! But I would try a less sweet drink next time.

The lady was nice and expedited my order. Finally received it and as I'm walking out the door took a sip. This was a watery mess with barely a hint of coffee taste. Tasted like something from a pack you would mix up at home. No garbage cans in the outdoor area, so I just left the drink sitting on one of the tables. Ended up driving to my usual Starbucks location and paid for an actual Flat White. Lesson learned....avoid this location!

It was delicious and I also tried an apple cider donut, it was amazing! I love the decor, very calm colors and wood tones used inside, it really creates a nice, soothing setting for you to talk, relax, and enjoy a cup of coffee without making you feel overwhelmed or overstimulated. My friend recommended this place and I'm glad I gave it a shot. She ordered the hot chocolate and an apple turnover. Everything was very affordable, and the space itself was nice and clean. They even have a little area around counter where small businesses promote their products...there are cups, keychains, there's jewelry, journals, pens...everything is very cute!! I was looking forward to trying their cinnamon rolls, which I've heard are amazing, but they were all out of them by 9am, so I'll have to go back and try to get there earlier next time. Very kind and welcoming staff. It's a nice, warm environment and I enjoyed my first visit. Lots of seating both inside and outside...even an extra room in the back for meetings. There are board games back there as well, which is cool! Loved it and will be back and will be bringing friends here and my family in the future. Even has a drive-thru option, which honestly- most small biz coffee spots don't offer!!! Some parking, but definitely not enough, is the only down thing I'd say, and the fact that it's so close to the main road with traffic/noise.
