Rising Star Coffee Roasters

What a hidden gem :) You guys... This place is an awesome little Cleveland secret. The cafe smells wonderful, of course, and the location is great. If you're a coffee snob, this place has amazing coffee & pastry. The atmosphere is old school, cozy vibes, comfortable seating, some fun classic decor, and a thoughtful touch, friendly service, quick wood turnaround of tables. The line moved quickly and efficiently. The staff work with a sense of urgency. The baristas that greeted me when I entered, even waved to me when I left. You feel valued and not like you're just 'another customer'. They could've been reciprocating my attitude, but either way, I enjoyed their spirit. Most definitely check it out. Again, this is an awesome place to get a drink with some friends and enjoy some great conversation!

Transformational coffee. More sugar syrup with straight up jam infusion than your typical coffee. Addicted on first sip and visited every day while in town. The best part? Super consistent- each day their coffee was exceptional. Stop by and experience it for self. Super friendly staff too!

My vanilla bean latte was absolutely delicious—perfectly balanced and smooth. What really stood out was the elegant latte artwork; it was such an unexpected and delightful touch. The cafe itself is small and quaint, adding to its charm, and it’s nestled right inside the entrance to The Arcade. Strolling through the beautiful and historic building while sipping on my latte was a highlight of my day. The staff was super friendly, making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Great pour over brew. Bought the Los Regalos beans for home. Looking forward to having. Friendly service and love to sit in the arcade with its Victorian era decor.

Decided to try this place the morning of my birthday because of other good reviews, but it was a letdown. First, neither person working was very friendly or inviting. They were out of whole milk, so I chose oat milk for my vanilla latte. It was the worst vanilla latte I’ve ever had, didn’t detect any vanilla and overall it had a weird taste, like play-dough. Might have been the oat milk. I reluctantly asked to swap it out with a different latte because I knew I couldn’t force myself to drink this one, they made me a different one but didn’t seem too happy with that request and didn’t ask how it was, basically ignored us after that. The second latte had cinnamon and honey and was made with almond milk, an improvement but still not great, and was lukewarm at best. Definitely not a great start to my birthday, wouldn’t recommend this spot for lattes, and the service left much to be desired.

Visiting from out of town — we visited this adorable little coffee shop in a historic building in Cleveland. The barista was soo sweet and recommended the cardamom latté, which was 10/10.

A cute coffee shop right at the entrance of the shopping mall. Delicious coffee and matcha drinks

My favorite coffee shop downtown. Located inside the arcade...can be accessed from inside or outside. There 2 tables and a couple other seats inside, somewhat small. Coffee is excellent and they have good beans on sale as well. They have pastries but I have not tried. Service is always very nice and friendly.
