I vaguely remember stopping here once in the past but it didn't make a lasting impression. So I figured why not continue my romp through the cafes in Greater Cleveland and the like by coming here to do some work.
The cafe itself is adorable. It's cozy with a wood and brick interior. While I was attempting to do some work there on a Friday afternoon, there were a lot of people coming in so it seems like a decently popular spot. A problem with this cafe is, because it's small, the noise level of it gets loud - between the music, the people talking at their seats, the people placing orders and the the bar itself there's no lull. It seems like a nice place to come here to chat with friends but not necessarily do any work unless you're good at ignoring your surroundings.
I asked about their specials and decided on getting the 16 oz (their medium size) of the Turle Latte. It's a mixture of chocolate, hazelnut and caramel mixed together with espresso and steamed milk. It's definitely sweet so if you like your coffee more bitter, this isn't the drink for you. But for $4, not bad. If the drink interests you I'd come here fairly soon, I'm pretty sure it's seasonal.
They seem to have a lot of food options, including paninis which is nice if you want to come here for lunch. I'd assume it gets pretty busy so you'll probably have to take it to go because the seating will fill up fast so keep that in mind. There is a small area outside but with the cold finally settling in you're not going to want to sit there.
Overall, love the interior but the coffee drink offering isn't anything fantastic or unique and the noise level makes this a place to visit once in a while if I'm in the area but not a place to do somework.
