| - Excellent coffee, especially of the pour-over variety, which features well-sourced beans from around the globe. One sip of one of their pour-overs underscores the huge gap in difference - and refinement - over run-of-the-mill drip coffee of the Starbucks variety.
On this note, I call BS on one reviewer who says that a $4 pour-over coffee was "definitely not worth quite that much money." Start with Starbucks prices and you're almost there at $4. And in big cities with world-class roasters, for example Blue Bottle and Ritual in the Bay Area, you're paying far more than $4 for exceptional pour-overs. It's like saying that a Five Guys or an In-and-Out burger is not worth it when you're used to getting a double cheeseburger off the value menu at McDonald's. Not even in the same league, whether you're talking about coffee, burgers, or what it takes to be an Elite in different cities.
As an added bonus, just about everything else about this place is solid, whether the baked goods, the friendly service, or the plentiful space that accommodates lots of students from the surrounding area. It's great to see quality local establishments like this here in Cleveland that can hold their own anywhere.
