| - I love a good Phoenix. Truly, Phoenix Coffee is *the* coffee shop I think of when I think of Cleveland. Great vibes. Cool people. Fun local art. Tasty coffee. Convenient location (at least for Cleveland Heights).
I just can't explain the happy feeling I get here. Sadly, I feel like we live in a world where the concept of a communal coffee shop to work, play and create is becoming slowly extinct. For me, Phoenix Coffee is keeping that vibe alive in Cleveland. This location in particular is always packed, so be prepared to not be picky on seating. Phoenix is a cool place that typically houses students, artists, musicians and local customers all scattered amongst their mismatched seating. Also, in the winter, the windows get steamy and it's hard to see inside from the exterior-- so be sure you had the address handy! You may miss it. But of all the Phoenix locations in the Cleveland area, this is by far my favorite one.
While the coffee menu is small, they make a darn good, low-sugar mocha. Your fancy coffee drinking friends will also surely love the selection. You can even buy bags of their coffee on your way out the door. And yes, this is Cleveland Heights, so be prepared for frustrating parking. Luckily, this location is pretty nicely placed considering the circumstances. The back door of Phoenix leads right into a metered parking lot-- score!
