I accompanied a family member to a Gloria Jean's stand directly beside a mall food court yesterday…read more I had not expected to order anything, as the prospects of finding a caffeine-free and low-sugar beverage did not appear sound after a brief glance at the menu. As the order was being placed, however, I noticed the selection of fruit drinks. I inquired about what the banana "chiller" contained and was told that it only had ice and a banana purée. I reasoned that the purée would not need any significant amount of added sugar, if any. It is unfortunate that I must share that, even for items that should be a healthy choice by any logical extension of the imagination, establishments like Gloria Jean's Coffees cannot be given the slightest degree of trust in regards to what they find suitable for their customers to consume. Upon the first sip, I immediately marked the unnatural, almost syrup-like sweetness that the beverage had. At this moment I made yet another error; I reasoned that sugar had been added, but it would amount to 30 grams at most. Although this already hits the upper limit of one's daily added sugar intake value, I could not simply discard the beverage that my family member had been generous enough to pay for. Walking towards the mall exit and to our car, the beverage was nearly gone. Some time in the car passed after I sipped the last of the liquid, and I began to receive a general feeling that routinely comes upon me after consuming a sugar-heavy dessert. I was already disconcerted at the fact that an intentional decision was made somewhere to inject a conspicuous quantity of sugar to a menu item of enough apparent simplicity and natural sweetness as a fruit smoothie (in this case called a "chiller" to differentiate it from what I later learned is an even more astronomical sugar and calorie count beverage served under the guise of a drink at Gloria Jean's). Partly out of curiosity and partly out of disgust, I decided to visit the Gloria Jean's Coffees website to see how much sugar I had just consumed. I then learned that the Banana "chiller" beverage contains 99 grams of sugar in a regular size. The feeling one receives after being violated, duped, or used then came upon me most strongly. The length to which I have already gone to write this review might appear histrionic to some, but allow me to elucidate the absurdity of the aforementioned figure. 99 grams of sugar is more than three times the amount that a human should consume in one day according to the National Health Service. Although I do not suffer from any health condition that made my body unable to absorb this blow, one must ask himself why this would have to be processed in the first place. The human body is not designed to be intaking such quantities of this substance. And this is only one item one might consume throughout the day. Why is it that such inhuman amounts of sugar must be added to these beverages? There comes a point when an item is already so overwhelmingly sweet that the taste buds are desensitized-- that adding any more sugar only contributes to a higher calorie count. Beverages with figures as high as 160 grams or more from Gloria Jean's menu well exceed this threshold. It was determined that I nevermore would patronize Gloria Jean's Coffees the moment I detected the copious amount of added sugar. The banana flavour itself was not remarkable, although the overbearing sweetness likely precluded my detection of any subtleties of taste. It was then determined that I would be as vocal as possible to all that I know to avoid Gloria Jean's Coffee for the sake of their own health. Corporations across the developed world-- and in America especially, where consumer protection standards such as those in Europe are evidently not as comprehensive-- continue to add sugar to items that truly do not need it, seemingly because a desire from consumers is perceived (other harmful substances such as food dyes are beyond the scope of this piece). The processes used to analyse consumer trends and come to the conclusion that 160 grams of sugar is appropriate in a beverage requires serious re-evaluation. There come times when those making decisions of this nature must ask themselves-- we are able to do this, but must we truly?

There were some other people playing a card game at the other end of the table. There's also other tables and couches around. I also liked the separate kind of game room in the front, seemed like a great place to host a small book club or meet with friends. As I was scanning the menu to make my drink selection, I felt the eyes of both baristas staring at me the whole time. I kind of felt out of place or like an outsider for some reason. Maybe it's just me, but it made it uncomfortable. The coffee selections were pretty basic and I don't remember any food options but I wasn't looking either. It does seem like a comfortable place to chill with a drink or get work done, especially with all the couches, but it was a little too dark and somewhat odd to me.

We stopped in for a mid-morning coffee and sweet treat and we're loving the ambiance of the space. They have a variety of seating options and some cool decor alongside bags of coffee beans and various bottles of syrup for sale. I ordered a plain black iced coffee and had a hard time deciding on a sweet treat, but ultimately went with the Reese's cookie. The coffee was smooth and had no bitterness at all. I had high hopes for the cookie because it was stunning looking, but unfortunately it was very dry. If you're into that kind of cookie, definitely grab one. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying one of the many flavors of muffins they have available in the case. Our cashier was friendly and helpful in choosing flavors. Our barista had our coffees out very quickly, which we appreciated. Would certainly recommend stopping in.

The staff is great, extremely friendly and quick to make drinks even if there is a massive morning line.

A rare thing because at other Starbucks I've been too they snag ya order and remain the rest of the time ignoring you until your drink is ready. The only problem is... Not enough seating, there are only 3 small tables in there leaving the place to be a stop and go for local business people who are near by to grab a drink n snack, or locals who just feel the need to get a starbucks.

Tucked away in a non-descript strip center on Mentor Ave. in Painesville, Ohio; this beautiful Middle Eastern cafe/bakery/coffee shop is a real jewel.

And it has some of the most amazing offerings you will find outside of the Mediterranean community. The coffee and beverage offerings are everything you would expect, plus many selections you would never anticipate. And the pastries on display are absolutely beautiful just to look at... Like art work. Your eyes will be screaming at you to buy it all and eat it immediately! My wife ordered an iced coffee with a pastry that was a combination of chocolate fudge and pistachio cream topped with a drizzle of caramel. So decadent... so wonderful! I had a fantastic Pistachio Latte (amazing) with something I have never seen outside of Sicily - "Frutta Martorana". It is a fabulous Arab/Sicilian pastry treat designed to look like real fruit. And it tastes like the fruit it looks like (see pictures). All I can say is, be hungry and be ready for desserts you have never had before. It will be an amazing experience.
