Long live POUR! POUR is the chic downtown Cleveland coffee shop we've always needed. We are so lucky to have a place that matches the burgeoning vibrancy of our neighborhood.
Full disclosure, I'm not a fancy coffee drinker. But Charlie (the owner) and his staff always explain things to me in real-people terms. My best friend is basically a coffee aficionado, and he's always more than thrilled with his pour over options. I usually opt for the latte, which is always presented beautifully. The minimalistic vibe, wood accents and rustic lighting fixtures make for a very trendy and inspiring atmosphere. POUR also seeps natural light for DAYS in the way a modern coffee shop should.
My love/hate relationship with POUR only exists because I go there to do work on my computer, yet almost always get distracted. POUR has really become the neighborhood coffee shop, and sitting in this heavily windowed environment will certainly allow you to be seen from the street. If I sit there for a few hours, I can guarantee that at least a handful of people I know will come in to talk to me and stay a while, as the environment is so welcoming. But I guess this is really a good problem for them to have. ;)
