As my wife and I walked around Case Western Reserve one Sunday morning, we really wanted coffee. Seeing The Coffee House just ahead of us, we decided to stop in. It reminded me of a couple of coffee shops that I frequented when I was a student, so it gave me a good vibe from the get go. They had a wide variety of coffees and teas, as well as a small food menu and a display case of muffins and other pastries. I ordered a regular coffee, and my wife had tea no food. They were normal drinks, nothing great, nothing bad, just what you normally find in a university coffee shop. The space is like a normal crunchy coffee shop at a university it looks like an old house, and each room has tables and chairs, random books piled on shelves for people to peruse, a few couches and worn out but still comfortable living room chairs, lots of wood and creaky floors. And it was packed we were lucky that someone was leaving and we could snag a table. One bad side to this place was the heat it was boiling in there. Like seriously, I don't think I'd be able to sit there and work for a couple of hours without falling asleep or sweating myself to death. Will I go back? Since I don't live in Cleveland, the chances are slim. Would I go back if I lived there? Possibly, though I'd have to do a little sleuthing to figure out when it is less packed so that I'd have a chance of getting a table without having to wait or depend on luck.

Very cute and eclectic atmosphere. This is after being here one time. Got the iced white mocha which tasted a lil too sweet and not enough coffee taste but still good. One friend told me the coffee was bad though which is why I'm giving 4 stars

I was taking a morning walk around the Cleveland Museum of Art and the lagoon and stumbled across this place. It’s next to the famous Glidden House bed-and-breakfast. I seriously don’t think I’ve ever eaten a better scone in my life. Get the coconut scone at all costs! I was there early in the morning, but I was surprised that the scone was still warm from being fresh baked. The coffee is also excellent. Was able to sit outside on a sunny day which also made a difference

Stopped by for a pre-study breakfast and was not disappointed. Very cute, lot of students and a group of people seeming to have some sort of book club, meetup, etc. Vibes are great. I could see myself studying here for hours with the endless coffee, yummy sweets, and windows with great lighting. We got the iced coffee, waffles, biscuits and gravy, fruit tart, and cinnamon roll. Fruit tart and cinnamon rolls were yummy but average. However, biscuits and gravy were SO DELICIOUS. Waffles were also good, particularly because of their jam, and I'm not usually a fan of jam. Iced coffee was the only ~meh~ part, so I'll definitely be trying a different drink when I'm back. Overall, great food and great vibes.
