I found Lionheart Coffee while staying at the Kimpton Hotel. Honestly, I was immediately attracted…read moreto the name because I'm a Leo! Ha! But when I walked through the door, it instantly felt welcoming and like a place I'd be a regular at if I lived in the neighborhood. The customer service was wonderful. Everyone behind the counter was friendly, and I just loved the atmosphere. I ordered a hot chai latte, and since I don't like cinnamon on top, I asked if they could hold it if they normally dust it--they were more than happy to accommodate! I also got a raspberry danish, and both were delicious. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area!

The menu is full of unique drink options, lots of flavors and combinations to choose from. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. And the space itself was great, plenty of comfortable seating to choose from and free WiFi to get some work done. I got a peanut butter and latte jelly, the barista convinced me to give it a try. I'm so glad she did, because it was delicious. It tasted like an actual PB&J sandwich, but still had a coffee-forward overall flavor; very hard to put into words, but definitely a winner. They use real peanut butter as part of the latte, along with two shots of espresso that had me bouncing off the walls later. If you're looking for a neighborhood coffee shop vibe and unique drinks, definitely come here!

Fun feature: Little library shelf right at the checkout where you can read a book while enjoying…read moreyour coffee. A lot of guests linger to work from this location or read. Tucked in Coventry neighborhood, there's Phoenix Coffee. The first thing you notice walking in is the vibe -- warm exposed brick walls, quirky and ever-changing local art (currently fairytale motif), and the smell of seriously strong, seriously good coffee. The Siren Eclipse art on the wall is alone worth the visit. And the scones? Unreal. Flaky, buttery, and somehow always fresh out of the oven. Really probably the best around. There's also other breakfast snacks like muffins and such. Very limited options but very tasty. Bonus points for the greenery -- the place doubles as a mini plant shop. There's a few leafy ones you can pick up. I got large drip coffee while I was there and it perfectly strong. There's two size options, light or dark roast. The menu also features some seasonal favorites. I had recently spring matcha there that was so vibrantly green. There's also a pretty extensive tea assortment. For warmer months, consider seating outside. They have very fun and aesthetically pleasing wooden benches. Street parking is available in the area but it gets busy. Try parking garage on the street to park. It's free to use.

You're very welcomed as you come in and the crêpe itself was to die for. It's just what my patient of a daughter needed. The restaurant is clean and the vibe is cool. I think this place is delicious and has a lot to offer. We will be staying in the Cleveland clinic area for a few more weeks and we look forward to going a few more times.

This was a great place to stop by for a snack.

I did see some other people who had ordered crêpes, which looked tasty, but also seemed to be on the smaller side. You can order at the register but we were encouraged to order at a kiosk, which had one of those extremely irritating tipping boxes included when you pay. I always hate this because you have no idea what the food is going to be like. They do bring your food to you, but if I'm ordering my food on my own and throwing away my food and stacking the dishes, tipping should be minimal.

I walked by this place twice on my walk around downtown Cleveland and since I was cold, decided to…read morestop in for a coffee. I had never had Yemeni coffee before so I asked the barista for suggestions. Based on the fact that I wanted to also try one of their beautiful milk cakes (like a tres leches), I opted for the Mufawar coffee since he said it was less sweet and a bestseller. It was served on an adorable bamboo tray, piping hot and very strong! It had a unique flavor and paired well with my saffron milk cake. Yes...I said saffron. I was very hesitant to try this after he described saffron to me, so I actually got both saffron and biscoff milk cakes. Wow, this man knew his stuff! The saffron milk cake was absolutely scrumptious!!! And who doesn't love a biscoff cookie?! I had to take that one to go. I hope to return to Cleveland soon so I can try the pistachio latte (a sweeter coffee) and possibly a different flavor of milk cake. The coffee shop was quite large, bright, and tastefully decorated with lots of gold accents. I loved my experience there!

Two words: Pistachio Latte. They make the best in town, sometimes I have it with oat milk,…read moresometimes soy milk...but the delicious creaminess is there.

It started off tasting almost like cereal milk, then finished with this bright, wonderful punch of orange. It was so good, and I'm already sad knowing it won't be around forever. The shop itself is super cute, one of those coffee spots where people clearly come to get work done. Not really a loud catch-up-with-friends place, but perfect for locking in with a laptop and a latte. The staff is incredibly nice, and you can genuinely taste the passion they have for coffee in every sip.

I've come here several times by myself and with friends to know that this is a solid choice for…read morebrunch, baked goods, and/or lattes. Favorites include their savory baked goods and cookies When it comes to lattes, so far I've liked their cinnamon brown sugar, and seasonal matchas (the coconut matcha a couple months back was good). It's good as dine-in (plenty of seating inside and outside, though still quite full on the weekends) and as take-out. Plenty of free parking available in a lot. Staff are friendly. Also last month I tried their restaurant week special (includes latte, panini, and choice of cookie or macaron). Ended up choosing the brown sugar latte (opted for oat milk), corned beef panini and gingerbread molasses cookie. All were good, the favorite and definitely would get again would be the latte. Also if you use the too good to go app, I love their bags (such a good variety with amazing value) which sell out in minutes. Definitely in my list of regular places to stop by.

If I were rating the food alone, it would be five stars. Last week I got a chocolate cookie with…read moresome sea salt on top (forget what the official name of the cookie is) and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since! I also got a cake slice- this was a square shaped slice (not their layer cake). My boyfriend loved it! But unfortunately I did not get to enjoy any of it because it was filled with a berry which I am allergic to. This was not indicated on the title card for the product. With these baked goods being high quality, they are on the more expensive side. So I was disappointed to spend money on something that I couldn't even eat. I realize that I probably should've asked but the food I was buying when I viewed it from the display case but this didn't cross my mind because the cake slice didn't seem to be an item that would have a filling. I would really like to try their cupcakes at some point... but do those have fillings too? I know I can ask but I have three severe food allergies and it just bothers me that the information I need isn't readily available. Especially in a place like this because it's very loud! Can be hard to communicate with the team members even during a non-busy time. Not just because of the way sound works in this building but also thanks to how high they crank up the music. TLDR: The baked goods are INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to go back for more. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be an allergy safe place at this point (display case labels are lacking) and it's very loud. When I tried to go back just yesterday the line was out the door and it was so loud that I almost got a migraine, so I had to leave and go somewhere else.

There's a grocery store (Provisions) that carries their bread. The bread is uncommonly amazing…read more It's on another level of quality. I had to visit the actual store to try other items because it's hard to find quality bread. But.... I read a lot of negative reviews about this place that seemed to have a common theme... poor service. Considering I already experienced their product, I knew these people were SERIOUS about their CRAFT, and people like them want RESPECT for what they consider an art form. These men at craftsmen, not baristas! So I went in with a clear expectation. If you're looking for a typical "cafe" (Starbucks) experience... don't go. You will leave with your feelings hurt. There won't be smiley faces on your coffee cup and service with a smile while selling you inferior products. Go with the understanding you're there to pay respect to the art. The art is the experience. You'll likely need to leave the country to find better... barely and maybe. I had a ham sandwich that tasted like it needs its own chapter in the Bible. Bottom line... go... don't just order coffee... be excited about their art... and like magic... they'll give that energy back. If they don't... it's ok... just enjoy your food and understand this place is a living passion for them, and the intent is to make you smile with great food.

Wow. I was not aware that a cold sandwich could be THIS good. Simple yet beautiful ingredients. The…read morestar of the show is the bread. Freshly baked, soft, and flavorful. You must go. It's criminal that this is anything less than 4.5 stars. I've heard people had issues with the "service." I have had no such problem, but even if I did, come off it - just accept that culinary geniuses can be unstable. Once you realize that you'll enjoy lunch (and life) a lot more.
