First off I would like to say that I am a Starbucks ADDICT who has one of those $6 lattes on a daily basis. With that said I absolutely LOVE LOOP they have the best Mocha in all of Cleveland. If they had one at my job I would go there instead of Starbucks everyday for the coffee alone. The combination of it being an art gallery, record store and coffee shop is an interesting mix which works well for someone like myself whom stops in to study every once in a while. There is something about the artwork that soothes my undiagnosed/self-proclaimed ADD. The pastry selection is somewhat lacking but suffices. The artwork is for sale and is done by local artists. The pieces are unique and you can not find them anywhere else. The music they have upstairs has ranges from Bach to Nas and covers everything inbetween. It does not matter what your taste of music or art... you will be able to find someone that you can appreciate.
I am not a regular at this spot but I do enjoy it every time I stop in.
