I was downtown earlier this week and decided to try a new coffee shop. I love going to Ohio city so I decided to chose rising star. I have heard nothing but good things.
It's located in a small room of an old building. There is limited sitting in such a small area. I kinda felt claustrophobic. Sitting right on top of the person next to me. They could probably smell the sharpie markers I was using to color! It is cute and nice decor. There are picnic tables outside but you know Ohio weather...it was too cold...
Upon walking in I spotted the dessert case. Yum everything looked good. I was curious about the flourless brownie. I took control of myself and ordered what was the main reason I was there...coffee. Expresso beans are roasted on site. The smell upon walking in was glorious! After scanning the menu on the wall, I went with the promised land latte. Sound interesting and was oh so delicious. It was sweet but that's right up my alley. I need sweet with my expresso otherwise it's not enjoyable to me. This had expresso cinnamon honey and I substituted almond milk for whole milk. Tasteeeee. I was sipping dessert for the day. I just wish it was bigger or cheaper so I could grab another one. Well worth it though.
I'm the type that likes to hangout at coffee shops and relax and enjoy my coffee. I sat down and started coloring. A big hobby of mine. No one seemed to care even though it was sharpies. The smell can be a lil intense. But I imagine the smell of the freshly roasted coffee covered it up.
There is a small one person bathroom in the back, near the office and supply room. You might want more bathrooms but eh.
Overall I would recommend. I plan to come back and try other delicious drinks. I would like to bring my sister here she would love it. Thanks Rising Star for the fabulous coffee!!
