A hidden gem in the Tremont community! I went here for the first time a few years ago (2005) while campaigning for a Cleveland mayoral candidate and really enjoyed it. Since then, I've made two other visits and the high quality of the beverages has remained consistent over time. If I lived in the immediate area, I could see myself visiting this place on a regular basis. This is a really small detail, but I really appreciated the fact that they had hand sanitizer at the counter...I hate having to run to the bathroom to wash my hands right before I eat when the food is hot and ready to eat!
The decor is really distinct and unique--it's a far cry from the anonymous decor that's found at Starbucks. The prices of the food are quite reasonable as well--I think we made it outta there for under $15.00 for lunch (coffee and sandwich for two, and we split a dessert)
My only complaint about this place is that the seating is a bit limited and cramped. I thought for sure that I was either going to spill my wife's drink or someone else's when moving in\out of my booth.
I'd suggest going here after having dinner at Fahrenheit or one of the other great restaurants in the neighborhood, or after attending an event at Lincoln Park (there are several cultural events there in the summertime!)
