That said, the dish is heavy and leans salty quickly, so it's best shared or paired with something lighter. Well executed, but definitely a full commitment. The strawberry matcha is clean and lightly sweet, with the fruit complementing the matcha rather than overpowering it. I do wish the matcha flavor itself were a bit more pronounced, but it works well as a refreshing counterbalance to the richer items on the menu. The Straw-tella waffle has crisp edges, a fluffy interior, and even topping distribution, which I appreciated. The strawberries add some freshness, though the Nutella does most of the work here. It's satisfying and reliable, even if it doesn't surprise. Overall, Crepes N' Crisps is a solid Cleveland brunch option with generous portions and consistent execution. It shines most when you mix one sweet item with one savory and don't try to overdo it.

We opted for waffles, which were light and fluffy…read more They were on the small side and the toppings were not to the scale as the advertisement, which is why I would classify this is a place to get a snack. I did see some other people who had ordered crêpes, which looked tasty, but also seemed to be on the smaller side. You can order at the register but we were encouraged to order at a kiosk, which had one of those extremely irritating tipping boxes included when you pay. I always hate this because you have no idea what the food is going to be like. They do bring your food to you, but if I'm ordering my food on my own and throwing away my food and stacking the dishes, tipping should be minimal.

Wow. I was not aware that a cold sandwich could be THIS good. Simple yet beautiful ingredients. The…read morestar of the show is the bread. Freshly baked, soft, and flavorful. You must go. It's criminal that this is anything less than 4.5 stars. I've heard people had issues with the "service." I have had no such problem, but even if I did, come off it - just accept that culinary geniuses can be unstable. Once you realize that you'll enjoy lunch (and life) a lot more.

This bakery is INCREDIBLE!!! Hands down the best croissant I've ever had. It's clear the baker here…read moreis committed and well seasoned. A simple ham and cheese croissant became a life changing experience. Somehow crunchy, flakey and soft all at the same time. The ham had a touch of sweetness, combine that with the tang of the cheese and the rich, buttery croissant...just STELLAR!!! I will never look at a croissant the same again. This has set the standard. Coffee was hot, strong and smooth through the last sip. The service was quick, pleasant and full of smiles and suggestion! The front of the business is nearly all windows. Tons of natural light and simplicity in design made the space feel relaxed and comfortable for working or just taking in the sunlight. Highly recommend the pastry, out of this world!

Fun feature: Little library shelf right at the checkout where you can read a book while enjoying…read moreyour coffee. A lot of guests linger to work from this location or read. Tucked in Coventry neighborhood, there's Phoenix Coffee. The first thing you notice walking in is the vibe -- warm exposed brick walls, quirky and ever-changing local art (currently fairytale motif), and the smell of seriously strong, seriously good coffee. The Siren Eclipse art on the wall is alone worth the visit. And the scones? Unreal. Flaky, buttery, and somehow always fresh out of the oven. Really probably the best around. There's also other breakfast snacks like muffins and such. Very limited options but very tasty. Bonus points for the greenery -- the place doubles as a mini plant shop. There's a few leafy ones you can pick up. I got large drip coffee while I was there and it perfectly strong. There's two size options, light or dark roast. The menu also features some seasonal favorites. I had recently spring matcha there that was so vibrantly green. There's also a pretty extensive tea assortment. For warmer months, consider seating outside. They have very fun and aesthetically pleasing wooden benches. Street parking is available in the area but it gets busy. Try parking garage on the street to park. It's free to use.

I ordered the bandit (latte with lapsang syrup) and a mango/guava muffin--the muffin was good, but although made well, I really didn't enjoy the bandit (the lapsang syrup was a lot smokier than I anticipated). Although I'd order something different next time, I'll happily return!

Here, this coffeehouse seemingly "belongs" to the university, Case Western Reserve, but because…read moreUniversity Circle is a one mile radius that also includes the main art museum, a music performance hall, and two important medical centers with many buildings for specialties, the Coffee House is visited by everyone. It's called the Coffee House at University Circle, but I've also heard it called University Coffee House. The streets here are gridded and, north of Case Western Reserve University's smaller quad, other academic units and buildings might be found on these blocks. Incidentally, I can explain Case Western succinctly. Just like Duke, Vanderbilt, and Emory might be "Southern Ivies," private and prestigious Case Western and Carnegie Mellon in not too distant Pittsburgh seem like "two peas in a pod" and are STEM powerhouses. The kids in here seem serious and do not come across like partying types. The Coffee House occupies a loosely Tudor-styled older building that might have been something else at one time. It has two levels, with bigger rooms downstairs and smaller ones upstairs. The coffee and tea are fairly priced and there are also sweet and savory items. On the day I visited, I had walked over from the main UH Medical Center, bypassing the Starbucks that is much closer to it. I'm glad I did. I also stumbled onto the day of the week when their big cookies are $1. They feature daily specials. I didn't go looking for cookies, nor for deals on them. I was still expecting to get something to accompany my hot drink - Earl Grey tea. The service was fine. They might make recommendations if you ask and they are patient. There will be CWRU students in here with their laptops open. There will also be faculty members. There will also be people involved in or receiving health care at the medical complexes in University Circle, doing something stimulating the intellect at the renowned and free of charge Cleveland Museum of Art or at Severance Hall for musical performances, partaking in a Meetup, and then some. But I'd say that at least half of those present are connected to academia. It's an imposing large coffeehouse. There's an outdoor terrace out front for when the weather is cooperating. Note that the window of hours is sort of tight and doesn't go too far into the evening. Either way, the Coffee House at University Circle makes for a neat environment for doing the coffeehouse thing, with or without a laptop open.
