| - As a CWRU student I was a frequent visitor at The Coffee House. While the food and environment are average, there are many redeeming aspects to the place, and as such I always try to stop by when I'm in the area.
I have been a frequent visitor to The Coffee House for lunch over the past couple of years, and have had both good and bad experiences with their food. The coffee is decent and I've never been served a cup that wasn't hot and fresh. The oat bars and Mediterranean pasta, and soups are also very good. The bakery items I have tried were typical coffeehouse fare, e.g. average tasting, much too greasy and even a bit stale at times. An order of Tiramisu my dad and I split for dessert one time was crusty on top and seemed like it had been sitting in the case for awhile. My advice would be to enjoy a beverage and maybe a cup of soup, but skip the other food unless you are very hungry because it is not anything special.
As other reviewers have mentioned, some aspects of The Coffee House's ambiance, such as the lack air conditioning and comfortable seating, may not be the best, but I think these negatives are balanced out by the wealth of seating available both indoors and outdoors. My favorite thing about this place is the spacious front porch/patio which allows visitors to enjoy their food and drinks outside on a nice day. Food and drinks ordered for there are served in proper glassware, which really creates an environment where patrons feel welcome to stay awhile and enjoy their food and drink.
The Coffee House is definitely worth visiting if you are in the area and are looking for a decent place to study or socialize with friends.
