| - Downtown Cleveland really doesn't have much to do in my opinion. Sure there is the casino, some restaurants and bars here and there, but it just isn't like a LA or DC. Nonetheless, I was able to find a nice little independent coffee shop in downtown Cleveland. Erie Island Coffee Company is its name and I hope its here to stay.
This coffee shop is located with on 4th St across from the House of Blues. The coffee shop isn't large by any means, but there is plenty of seating for everyone to sip their drink. Once you grab your seat, then it's time to order your nice cup of joe. For me, my drink of choice is the cappuccino. For about $4, you get a nice smooth cup. The cappuccino had a nice creamy taste to it, and made just as good as I would have expected. Aside from espresso drinks, you can get regular drip coffee, which is freshly roasted by Erie Island.
If you have an extra $5 and an empty stomach, the you might want to consider getting a sandwich here. I ended up not getting one, but there are about 5 different ones to choose from. The staff here is pretty nice, although I did think that it did take a little long to make my cappuccino. There wasn't even anyone else waiting for a drink! Nonetheless, their coffee tastes pretty damn good, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the best coffee that Cleveland has to offer. Hey, I even snagged a pound of beans to go!
