| - Pour, a new coffee place on the Euclid side of the 5th Street Arcades, is a big step up from the other coffee options downtown. All their coffee is done as pour overs, and the small extra wait for your fix that entails is more than worth it. Charlie, the owner, was friendly and knowledgable, as was the rest of the staff.
Their beans are from Counter Culture Coffee, a roaster out of Durham, NC. It's pretty good stuff--I particularly loved the Aida's Grand Reserve, a limited edition roast that goes for $6 a cup. Pour also sells delicious, locally-made bagels from the Cleveland Bagel Co. and some pastries from the Luna Bakery if you're looking for a little food to go with your coffee.
Pour is a great space, with nice large communal tables and counter seating, all with abundant outlets and free Wi-Fi. My only complaint is that the whole place was freezing--my toes were numb after working at one of the tables for a couple hours! Turn up the heat and I'll add a star.
