Best barista downtown. James is a magician. Tell him what you'd like and He whipped it up. No place like it in downtown.

I have visited the Copper Moon multiple times in the past month. I go because they have a smoothie on the menu. It usually includes fruit such as banana, strawberry, kiwi, and pineapple. I also have them use almond milk. The price is $5.00, which so far, is the cheapest smoothie in downtown Cleveland. Very good. Very friendly. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how sad I am that we did not get coffee here. We literally could not find it and when we finally did we had already gotten our coffee elsewhere. We stuck our heads in to say hello and tell them we had been by three times and the barista joked he's seen us casing the joint, but it was a snowstorm and we are little babies from Vegas and one flake of snow is just too many not to mention being almost blown over. But it is just the cutest hole in the wall and I would have loved having coffee here in a snowstorm! One day if we ever get back to Cleveland I will 100% track this place down, snowstorm or not! read more

It was dirty and lots of fruit flies. The barista did not ask me what kind of milk I wanted when she realized she didn't have regular milk. She used oat milk and then just told me and expected me to be cool with it. I hate oak milk like hate it and she was upset that I did not want the drink. Never ever had this happen before and it's weird to assume oat milk is a substitute for whole milk. Not only was this an awful experience but it also took forever. I was so frustrated. I choose small business over corporations and this time I was upset I didn't just go to a Starbucks bc we had little time and this was a disaster. read more

HAHAHAHA OMG This is the craziest coffee shop I have ever been to and I love it! So classy and sophisticated but with some very interesting art. After my boyfriends brother recommended this place to us because of the quirky owner and really great coffee drinks we went out of our way to get some and YES it's worth it! It's definitely hidden but we were staying at the Crowne Plaza across the street and it was a nice walk to there from the hotel. We got the caramel macchiatos and mocha and he was really Really REALLY eager to add whipped cream to our drinks. He said it's homemade and made in house and even though I don't normally get it in my drinks, when in Cleveland! I wished we stayed in Cleveland longer so I could honestly keep coming back here! Oh yes the art! Don't come here if you don't want children to see dildo dinosaurs but it was done by a local citizen with a 3D printer. Times like this is why I love Ohioans! read more

I've been sleeping on Copper Moon! Working in downtown Cleveland I'm always on the hunt for my midday coffee. My brother told me I had to visit his favorite spot and wow it didn't disappoint. The friendly staff and close quarters really gives you the personal experience everyone is craving. Excited to keep coming back and trying more menu items! The latte was out of this world. read more

The Copper Moon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I've walked past Copper Moon a hundred times and finally decided to go in - and it was worth it. Yeah it's a whole in the wall, but don't be fooled! This is a great coffee shop run by people who actually know coffee. My French press was made in front of me from bean grinding to pour and came out smooth and flavorful. My friend got the "white girl special" (pumpkin spice, caramel, butterscotch) and she said it makes her never want to go back to Starbucks. The prices are very, very reasonable as well. They have non-coffee options including smoothies and milkshakes, and some bakery in the back if you ask for it. There's a lot of good coffee options downtown and you can add Copper Moon to the list. Will definitely be back. read more

We almost missed it! So glad we found it though, cute walk in place. Delicious and very friendly staff! The decor was 10/10

Mr. Orlando has been a cordial barista and his coffee delicacies has been something unique .The ambiance of the place is something that is like hip by the rhythm and who knows you might end up with some good friends and great conversations on a coffee. Definitely give it a shot. read more

Best coffee in Cleveland. The expresso is robust and rich tasting. I drink mine with a splash of cream. No need for any additional flavors. James and the team serve a consistently good product. read more

I have always loved this cute little shop! I've known the owner for YEARS now and he's never disappointed. They have all kinds of drinks here, don't be scared to ask for Recommendations either! The shop also has a very welcoming environment. You'll most likely see the same group of friends hangin out here, it's like family. Great coffee and friendly vibes. read more

Visited the copper moon in downtown today. WOW! This tiny little location is right next to the Statler apartments, and is way too good for words. First of all, James the owner is the friendliest human on the planet. You can tell that he loves everything about his craft. I ordered a lavender latte, and he went the extra mile to make it the best he could by surprising me with an added pump of vanilla and cardamom spice. Second, the prices are INSANE(in a good way) here, I would never feel like I'm spending too much money on coffee if I went here every day! And lastly, the coffee itself is spectacular. There are so many options, flavors, and things to try here. So go out and support this tiny little shop. It will not disappoint! read more

A-fucking-mazing! One of the best Chai teas I've ever had hands down- James has an artesanal approach to coffee and tea making. So if you're visiting Cleveland you have to check out the Copper Moon it's worth tasting. James is great and has amazing taste in coffee and tea. His creations are worth a lot more than you'll pay. read more

First of all, can we talk about the counter? Because it's gorgeous. This is another stop on my coffee shops of the Greater Cleveland Area tour and I love it. This place is literally a hole in the wall but if you're in the area and thinking about going to Starbucks, I'd say come here instead (unless you really need a place to sit and do work because this isn't an option here) - it's very close to Starbucks and the coffee and other drinks are fantastic. I had the mocha this time around and I mean, come on, just look at that picture! It wasn't very sweet which was nice but had a nice full taste. My friend got the London Fog which she absolutely adored. Overall, love love this place - definitely recommend you stop by! read more

Small coffee shop but conveniently located in downtown Cleveland. Small and the gentleman at the counter very friendly. Inexpensive and good coffee. read more

100% agree with the comments around this being excellent product at amazing prices! Truly people centric customer service and that isn't just referring to Alison and James, the owners, but also the locals who had a lot of fun and helpful input! It was actually quite lovely! You absolutely have to try their Matcha with their in-house orange sugar. Sublime and with a few dollars in tips still more affordable than other places! Unreal. Downtown Cleveland has got it going on in part thanks to wonderful business owners like these kind people! read more

The staff were very friendly, but the drinks were not good. We ordered an iced chai tea latte and an iced latte with caramel. Both drinks were more milk than anything else. We went to a second coffee shop because our drinks just weren't good. read more

Nice tinny place but wonderful coffee and nice customer service !!!!! A few booths but is coffee to go

They need to update their hours. Walked half a mile to get something and they are closed on Saturday

By far copper moon is the best coffee house in downtown Cleveland maybe even in the whole city. James is amazing lots of fun to talk to interesting and makes a great drink. Always a colorful cast of characters in the shop and it's much more homey than any other corporate coffee shop you will find. Small place in the lobby of The Statler Arms apartment building but really great little shop. An awesome find and you should definitely check it out. read more

hidden gem tucked away but I am SO happy I found this place. Amazing coffee, amazing customer service. I see why all the local Cleveland peeps make this part of their daily morning routine. We went everyday that we were in town read more

Don't let size fool you; what The Copper Moon lacks in square footage it more than makes up for with its delicious and quality-crafted drinks. James is incredibly friendly and super talented! If you're not quite sure what to order, he'll make you something on the spot and it'll be sure to impress you. Highly recommend this little gem in Playhouse Square. read more

My new favorite coffee shop in Cleveland! It's within walking distance of my apartment so it's the perfect location. It's definitely a hidden gem. Also yay for student discounts! Will definitely be returning again and again. read more

Beautiful shop, but the coffee wasn't great. The barista was a little "in-your-face". I would probably walk down to Pour or Rising Star next time. I'll have to stop again and meet the James mentioned in all the other reviews; maybe I hit the Copper Moon on an off day? read more

I feel alive for the first time Each sip hits my lips like a landmine Without James in my life I was livin' a lie He makes his machines weep, but his coffee cries He's a Northwest, Cleveland, hometown hero The best part of working downtown, for real yo Yea he a genius with the sugar and bean-yes, mix it in pots Like the way he makes magic from espresso shots And, oh the taste fusion, the best supplies, he's usin' Plus he teamed up with my tongue for a tastebud revolution read more

This is the best coffee place in the downtown area. The copper moon is more of a coffee bar rather than an actual café, but their coffee speaks for itself. I got a hazelnut latte and it had a great subtly sweet flavor with still a good amount of hazelnut taste. The interior is quaint and the baristas are very funny and kind. I highly recommend the copper moon. read more

Do you want the best coffee? Forget the chains. Don't bother with the trendy. If you want to get a drink to enjoy the essence and craftsmanship of a quality cup of jo, then Copper is where you want to go. The owner is a knowledgeable veteran in the industry. He knows what it takes and how to prepare your choice so you experience all the hidden nuances of the particular bean variety. Not every variety should be prepared the same way or using the same method. A good barista knows this. Inside the Statler Arms building in Playhouse Square. I guess you could call it a hidden gem, but I think it feels more like a neighborhood staple shop. Find your way there, you won't regret it. read more

The Copper Moon - French Press and Americanoa - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I can only rate this place based on their Smoothies, because I cannot bring myself to order anything other. Food experience: Have you ever had a sip of something and felt like you've been punched in the face by flavor? yeah that's what the first sip is like; a Die-Hard Movie level explosion, except you're not jumping through glass and the explosion is happening in your mouth. This was the first time my co-workers tried The Copper Moon, I enjoyed the wide-eyed exclamations of "WOW" on that first sip. The texture of the drinks are very smooth (well blended) with no chunks of fruit left from the blender. In my mango pineapple I enjoyed that I could feel each individual strand of the pineapples with the overall sweetness of a perfectly ripened mango. There is no lingering bitterness from the yogurt, and drinking it leaves me with a very refreshed feeling. One co-worker mentioned that the strawberry kiwi smoothie had an excellent balance of strawberry to kiwi flavor (whereas most places is overpowering with the strawberry) which is indicative of some high quality kiwi's being used. Order (no artificial fruit flavoring, all real fruits): Strawberry Kiwi smoothie Blueberry banana smoothie Mango Pineapple smoothie Components: Fresh cut fruit, based on the flavor of the various smoothies I've gotten, they only use ripe fruits. I've never gotten one where it was flavorless or had the taste of an unripe (or overripe) fruit. When I was watching them gather all the parts of the smoothies I ordered (for myself and two co-workers) I was impressed to see that each cup were almost half full of the fruits the barista was cutting! 2% milk, almond milk (I think), bunch of different spices, chilled (or frozen) yogurt and some ice, all blended together. Prep Time: Took roughly 5-10 minutes to have the order made, but there was no doubt it was all freshly prepared. Price: 3.00 for a small, 3.50 for a medium and I don't remember how much for a large. A great price considering you're paying almost twice that for the same amount from other places. Closing Thoughts: Epic Win. You should go and try them for yourself. Leave your own experience/opinion! I am always left with a sense of sadness and loss when I finish my smoothie, usually gone before I even make it back to the office. I think about ordering some of the other things they offer (cold coffee, iced latte..etc), but standing there, looking at the menu, those damn smoothies call to me, nay they DEMAND that I order another with their siren song of deliciousness, taunting me as I know that finding a place with a similar level of quality borders on impossible. I hate them for limiting my experience with The Copper Moon, but I love them with each euphoric sip I take. read more

10/10 recommend. My first time visiting the Copper Moon and I can't wait to go back. I asked Brett (the barista) what he recommended and he made a churro latte. It was amazing. read more

Great service James knows his beans! It's just not a coffee spots it's a place to have great conversations. I'll be back again and again

The Copper Moon is the best! James makes the best coffee in town. He changed his menu seasonally. Yesterday I got a white girl latte and it was delicious- pumpkin flavor without all the sugar. read more

The Copper Moon - I love visiting James at Copper Moon! He makes the best coffee downtown. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This is my favorite establishment in the city of Cleveland. First off, the coffee is the best I've ever had at a price that is much lower than any other competitor. The drinks are personalized to your liking. Each cup is a work of art. But beyond the coffee, this place is a hub for engaging conversation and new ideas. I've never felt a more inviting atmosphere. I drive 45 minutes out of my way on most days just to hang out at the Coppermoon for 20 minutes before work, and never regret the decision. read more

Excellent coffee and great personalized service. If you're looking for a high quality custom made drink, this is your place.

Hands down the best coffee shop in Cleveland, or quite possibly the world. A variety of options, all made to perfection. James is a wonderful and personable barista, thank you for helping me start my day or end my day with delicious coffee. Thank you for understanding when I forget to ask for oat milk read more

The Copper Moon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I was staying at a hotel in the area and I searched on Yelp for coffee that was close by. I saw that The Copper Moon was right up the street so I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did because I had the absolute best London Fog Latte ever! The owner was so kind and personable, I can't wait to go back. read more

I don't like coffee. The Copper Moon has provided me with literally the best coffee I've had in my life. I went back a second time. It's one of those places where you can tell that the (Jake, and his wife Allison "helps out") is genuinely passionate about their product. There are all these little details with every order you place - like, the carefully dun spirals of whipped cream and chocolate if you go the sweet route, or the incredibly well-balanced nutty flavor if you go the opposite way. You certainly can order a normal black drip coffee for under $2. No muss, no fuss. If you'd rather a french press, that's also available - but you may have to wait *as they do all their french press coffees fresh*. Or you can go full Starbucks and get a latte with whipped cream and flavoring and the barest hint of bitter coffee flavor but the greatest density of caffeine possible. But, I don't like coffee. And then you have, what, to me, is the more interesting side. If you're polite about it, Jake and Allison are very willing to take over the creative reins for your order. Just specify hot/cold, a direction to take the drink in, and caffeine on a scale of 1-10, and you'll be presented with true art. The closest I could compare it to is if a chef is playing around in the kitchen, comes up with something amazing, and says, "here, try this". The place itself is a tiny hole-in-the-wall in the same way that all the best barbecue joints look like somebody made it out of two-by-fours that fell off the nearest truck. Yes, the Copper Moon is well-decorated and full of charm, but it's also clear that Jake would sell coffee out of a hot dog stand, if he had to. I don't like coffee, usually. Coffee shares the same problem alcohol does - the product alone doesn't taste good to the majority of purchasers, so you end up with so many brands that are bitter messes because so many people will just dilute the taste anyway. Jake and Allison understand coffee, though. If you want a drink that celebrates the rich, earthy nuttiness and highlights the flavor of the bean, they can do that - just like an Old Fashioned can compliment the oakey burn of its whiskey. In short, whether you view coffee as a necessary evil to gulp down, an opportunity for a delightful sundae-like experience, a celebration of the natural flavors of the bean, or *even flat-out do not like coffee*, go the the Copper Moon. It's so, so worth it. read more

Tiny place with a lot of heart! I was wandering through the playhouse district in Cleveland and came across this gem. James is super proud of his trade and served up some fresh loose leaf brewed iced green tea shaken with some ginger and lemon. Although I already had my coffee for the afternoon I watched what the other barista was serving up and came to conclusion this place serves up some amazing craft coffee drinks at a great price. Clearly a local favorite based on the chummy patronage here. Too small for working while sipping but definitely worth getting an excellent drink to go! read more
