Not for travelers only! This place caters to tourists and expats staying at the beautiful Cleveland hostel since it's adjoined to the hostel itself, but there's no reason why locals can't pop in as well.
The inside is really quirky and inviting with a telephone booth housing a coffee carafe and vintage mugs as well as a rooftop patio to sit and enjoy your coffee. The barista was very friendly and echoed my woes that a lot of cafes in Ohio City who have suddenly decided that toasted bagels aren't a thing anymore. Toasted bagels always have been and always will be a thing! Don't try and tell me otherwise. This is obviously unrelated to my actual review of Passenger's but in some ways it's relevant because a lot of the trendier cafes around this area don't offer bagels toasted which completely baffles me. All this to say that Passenger's does indeed offer toasted bagels, and a wide variety of them! What blew me away however was the Mega Mocha. I thought it was just a mocha with extra espresso, but it's actually a mocha infused with Madagascar vanilla bean..... I know. You're wondering why no one has ever thought of that before. Vanilla + Chocolate + Coffee = Winning Flavor Combination. I don't normally like sweet coffee beverages but this was wonderful... it was super smooth and the flavors were really true to form, no phony synthetic syrups here!
Overall I was really impressed with this place and I'm glad to report my non-toasted bagel days are over.
