One of the hidden gems around Shaker Heights. As I walk to the local playroom I like to stop in here to grab a quick coffee (usually sorely needed). They are quick & friendly, and espresso based drinks are up to snuff, not bitter or watery. Their cold brew is hella strong so leave room for milk if you can't take it. Tasty cakes and cookies also make for a quick snack, and they have a limited menu for lunch as well (mainly soups and sandwiches/wraps).
Seating inside is about 20 people I'd say, mostly small tables but one long communal table by the baristas. There's a neat shop connected to the cafe, wish I had time to browse around more!
