The space is bright, open, and super inviting--the natural light and cheerful decor make it a great place to start the day or take a quick break. My favorite is the Promise Land, hot or iced.

Overall, great vibe, great drinks, and friendly staff.

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!

(Maybe I'm late lol) but I can imagine it enhances the flavor. The ambiance was really nice and the environment was super chill. Music playing but laid back which was perfect for me since I wasn't really looking for a "party" vibe that night. The frozen Passionfruit Margaritas were delicious, I ended up ordering 2! There was an issue with one of the food items I ordered but the server made it right with no problem which I appreciated. Overall, I enjoyed my visit!

A charming spot in Little Italy!…read more This place offered a cozy atmosphere. It almost felt like walking into someone's house with the funky decor and unique, not quite matching furniture. I got the falafel sandwich ($8), shak-shooka ($9.50), and a coffee drink called the Cafe Algebra ($4). The food was delicious. The sandwich was filled with flavorful, moist falafel as well as fresh vegetables, tahini, and hummus, all wrapped in a warm, fluffy pita. I also enjoyed the shak-shooka. It was a flavorful dish made with tomatoes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and caramelized onions. It also came with warm pita on the side. For the price, I thought the sandwich and shak-shooka had decent-sized portions. But I wasn't the biggest fan of my drink. It came in a small mug and wasn't sweet enough for my taste. And even after I added some sugar to it, I still found it kind of bland. However, I will certainly come back for the food! A few notes - you order at the counter first. You can watch the staff cook your food as you wait for your order. After you finish your meal, you pay as you walk out. If you use your credit card, it does come with a 3% fee.

(It could have been earlier but my 5 star review of this place 16 years ago is an objective starting point). Although I have spent much of the past 23 years living in various places outside of both Cleveland and Ohio, I'm a born and raised East Side Clevelander. And whenever I resettle in the area, I always find myself gravitating back to Algebra Tea House for the good vibes. In the past several months that I have been visiting, I'm happy to see the place really feels like a cultural community hub and an outright neighborhood institution. Over the years, many unique small businesses that have shuttered operations in Coventry (China Treasure House, Big Fun, Record Revolution, La Cave du Vin), Cedar-Fairmount (Nighttown). I'm so happy to see that Algebra Tea House is thriving and continuing to create a unique and inviting environment for the neighborhood. I love the unpretentious and lo-fi atmosphere and operation. I love the DIY craftsmanship that permeates in every aspect of the business. The food and beverage options are also quite good. Although I haven't been around for many years, I think maybe there are more offerings on the menu these days. I especially love the vegetable stews on their chalkboard menu and the foul madamas (fava beans). Service is lo-fi and very casual. Just place your order at the counter. It is written on a scratch pad. Sit down and be patient. The food or beverage will then be delivered to your table. Pay on your way out. Bring cash if you want to avoid a credit card transaction fee.
