Their coffee is always consistently good - they make their syrups in house , offer great seasonal lattes, and they take great care in their puck prep to serve high quality drinks. Their breakfast bagels are really good, and the staff is knowledgeable. I drive 30 mins one way to come here, it's that good! Parking is never an issue, and there is usually somewhere to sit. I wish they would offer a burnt sugar latte like Milk & Honey! read more

Coffee was good. Atmosphere I think is lacking. My friend and I enjoy going to coffee, houses or cafés and taking in the atmosphere. That is as important to me as the coffee. read more

Decent coffee, very nice spot that's clean. Definitely new wave kinda place. I was reluctant to come back after my poor experience a couple years ago, dealt with the rudest barista I've ever met at a coffee shop. New staff is a lot more friendly. Glad I gave it a second chance read more

Honestly this cafe is adorable and the food is decent but the coffee? Not so much. I'll freely admit I'm a coffee snob and I'm sorry Bonlife just didn't hold up to the standards. However, if you're there to hang and have some food, service is friendly and it's a cute place to hang for a bit. read more

There are a few places/people I will always be sure to visit or drive by while in Cleveland; the Boys & Girls Club Headquarters, the emergency shelter, my sister, Lee University. And when it comes to coffee, it will always be Bonlife. Whether coffee or espresso, they consistently achieve perfection. The bean, roast, grind, and pull/brew is always a work of art. My last visit found me there twice within a three hour period. Like the saying goes, "can't get too much of a good thing." Or coffee (my paraphrase). The team is always friendly and the ambiance is so welcoming and relaxing. I have only spent time onsite long enough for my drink to be prepared, but I do plan to go and enjoy the setting and food one day. Cleveland's coffee scene has truly blossomed over the years, but when I'm in town there's only one worth patronizing. I recommend you do the same. read more

Good place! Not the biggest fan of some the environment and service but still pretty good!

MY FAVORITE COFFEE. Had me driving HAPPILY for 30 minutes for it because it's that good

Good fresh baked food items and coffee selections. Friendly staff in a nice atmosphere.

Cute coffee shop! Staff was helpful. It stays pretty busy. They have an excellent Vietnamese cold brew!

Some of the best coffee in Cleveland, and that's up against a lot of competition! Good vibes, good coffee, good waffles.

This was my second time coming here and I really enjoyed my order. I got the Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk and Honey as a sweetener since it's normally unsweetened. I really liked it, the matcha was smooth. Presentation with the glass cup and gold re-usable straw was so cute and aesthetic. I also tried a bit of my friend's Vietnamese Cold Brew, and I'll most likely get that next time as well it was so tasty. The only reason why I'm giving this experience four stars was the service. I felt like the baristas and servers were so kind and personable last time, but on this day they were cold. I could feel the heat of the cashier's stare on me as the tip options window popped up. All in all, great coffee but hit or miss service for me. read more

The atmosphere of this place is exactly what Wev been missing at other Cleveland coffee shops. Service though is terrible! Took forever to get our food and skipped my husbands order completely. The coffee honestly is one of the best in town but with the way the service was I don't think we'll be back. You guys have to find a better system, take names or something give out numbers I don't care. Greet people, smile, make it a happy environment to walk into. And I don't mind being ripped off for food but please don't do it right to my face. Hide the bag of Thomas bagels behind the counter. read more

The service was fast and the coffee was pretty good a little bitter for my loving but I will say I am very picky about coffee. Overall I would go again and for sure try a different latte flavor because it could've just been because I got a flavor that didn't blend well. The muffins were very good! read more

Adorable spot. Convenient location. Plenty of room to spread out and work stations. Good coffee. Unfriendly service. read more

BonLife Coffee - people sitting at tables in a cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

Beware of coarse sugar at the bottom of your drinks. The two drinks I've tried from here both had coarse sugar lingering in the bottom of the drink. (One vanilla latte, the other chai. Both iced). I don't think they use syrup to sweeten their drinks.. Their bagels/ breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I would definitely recommend a snack with your coffee/ tea if you're going to come here. The facility offers an open layout with lots of seating options for both small and large parties. They also decorate for the season, which isn't necessary but an perk up for your day (and mood). read more

The coffee is strong and taste delicious. I've also had the chai latte, a little too much sugar. I have to tell them 1 less scoop of powder. Otherwise it's delicious. Very nice atmosphere. I come here to study and meet friends. Would recommend read more

BonLife Coffee - the entrance to bonlife coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

Never would've guessed I'd find my favorite coffee shop in Chattanooga (now that the Cherry Street Mad Priest closed) in Cleveland! What?!? Yes. Bonlife roasts and brews amazing coffee. Their baristas make delicious espresso drinks with care. The service is usually friendly. And the space has a perfect third-place vibe. Great for meeting a friend, getting some work done, or popping in on one of a seemingly infinite number of roundtrips between Knoxville and Chattanooga. I've ordered a sandwich a couple of times, and they're solid - just be prepared to wait a bit. It's not a professional kitchen and they're made to order. But most things worth doing well - like making a latte and a sandwich - are worth the wait. Thanks, Bonlife! read more

This is a real deal coffee shop! Possibly the best cold brew I have ever had. The barista was awesome! They have a good atmosphere. There are places to talk, meet with friends, or get school or work done on your laptop! read more

Needed a good breakfast on the go option as we started to dip through the mountains and happened across this spot in a strip mall on the side of the road. This spot was awesome!!! Excellent waffles and waffle sandwiches and the espresso drinks were on point! read more

BonLife Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

A friend brought me a coffee from BonLife and it met every detailed requirement I have for my coffees: #1 If it's a latte with sweetening(s) I MUST taste the espresso. I don't want hot sweet milk that's called a coffee. After meeting this requirement, I returned and this place is awesome. The workers are extremely polite, professional, and know what they are doing. That is my other requirement for a coffee shop. The environment is friendly and enjoyable inside or outside. I have returned three times now. I love the honey cinnamon latte (and yes, the espresso is noticeable. read more

Great local coffee. Friendly staff. Nice ambiance.

This is a very big coffee shop which is ideal for larger gatherings. However the bulk of the seating is hard and metal which is not ideal for the community coffee shop vibe. Despite that I've seen many groups meet here for coffee and discussion. They have an unsecure network and lots of table spaces if you have work remotely for a while. I recommend taking a spot on the bar by the front for the view and the ability to stand up when your butt falls asleep from the chairs. They don't take cash here, except if you want to tip. To me that's really ridiculous. Call me old or out of touch but a business should accept our country's currency. The coffee is fine. I find it a bit florally and sweet. I prefer something bolder and more woody or coco tasting. read more

Good Atmosphere, however I ordered a mocha Frappacino but end up with thick bitter chocolate mix. After a few sips i had to request more ice to be added to be able to drink it . Not real sure anyone knew what a Frappacino was or how to make one & certainly did not want to go to any extra effort to correct it. They Almost seemed bothered to ask for ice. For the price of $6.45 for a Small, I wasn't impressed. Be Careful what you order.... they may not know how to make it. read more

Great cafe with quality coffee and great ambiance. They pay attention to all the details - both in service and the products they serve. This Cold Brew was great with Oat Milk and cinnamon is my favorite in the summer. Check them out next time you're nearby. read more

Love the atmosphere, the coffee and the pressed paninis! I had the tomato pesto one and it was so delicious! My Pumpkin latte was done with care and perfection! I will definitely be going back soon! read more

The wreath desk areas are like nothing I've ever seen before! However, I loved the ambiance more than the coffee. I ordered a Nutella latte but it's simply tasted like extra milk. The workers were nice, the environment was a soft bustling of professionals, and the price point was perfect! I'd love to come back and do some work one day or try a sweet. It smelled like ice cream when we entered! read more

2nd best coffee on earth (according to the world's largest roaster's competition), it tastes like the best! Drip: exceptional, Espresso: perfect, manual brews: great every time. The true test is the cortados, they nail them every single time. The food is great, but that coffee. The service is great, the baristas are knowledgeable (they know more than you, and they should, it's their job), skilled, practiced, and inspired. The lobby is clean, buzzing, and peaceful in the mornings, before local college kids come in and wreck the vibe. read more

Just don't like it. It's not a place to just sit and enjoy a coffee because the seats and tables are awkward and uncomfortable. Also not a fan of places that talk smack about other shops. The coffee is just ok read more

I love this place. Everything I have had here (coffees and food) has been good and staff is very nice‼

Great coffee. No burnt, old stale coffee here! Good atmosphere, great place to meet & enjoy a cup!

Wonderful atmosphere! The coffee isn't cheap but it's very tasty! Be sure to try their pastries!!!

Very disappointed! Not only did the barista sneeze on his work station without covering his mouth or stepping away. In addition my latte was barely warm. I won't be returning. read more

Used to absolutely love this place but there is only one person that really knows how to make a cappuccino and it is not the owner. The last straw was when the owner took my order for two regular cappuccinos and she charged me 2x!...so $20+ for two 8oz double shot cappuccinos. Unfortunately I didn't realize it until I looked at my credit card statement several days later. So now searching for a new local coffee shop! read more

Great spot in Cleveland for good coffee and a more "up-beat" vibe! A lot of varieties/creations to choose from. Nutella Late was very good! Definitely plan to come back! They sell coffee and other items as well. Easily located conveniently off Keith Street. read more

Phenomenal house made granola! Coffee is also incredible. The staff was super friendly and everything was very clean. We will be back! read more

BonLife Coffee - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cleveland, Tennessee

I graduated from Lee University in Cleveland, TN exactly ten years ago. Anyone who's ever visited the little college town of Cleveland knows that the COLLEGE was really the only thing it had going for it. Well, not anymore it seems. Lately, Cleveland has been building up and becoming quite...swanky? Well, not really but close. I recently visited for an event and had a few hours to kill so I decided to try to find a coffeeshop so I could get some work done. I stumbled upon BonLife and from the moment I pulled up in front of it, the cool graphics on the outside glass drew me in. Once I entered the shop I was pleasantly surprised by the cool, young, hipster vibe it had going on. If you've ever been to Cleveland you'd know that those words can NOT be used to describe the town at all so this was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure if the shop shared its space with another small funky looking t-shirt/jewelry company (because there's a separate counter off to the side) or if this is also part of BonLife. I visually scanned the items but I wasn't sure about purchasing. The atmosphere in the shop was quiet, perfect for getting work done and the shop's aesthetic was just overall very conducive to creativity. There were lots of cute tables, vintage comfy chairs and my favorite--tables that came down from the walls! Wifi was easily accessible and there were also an adequate amount of outlets. BonLife has a small but intriguing menu with a handful of delicious sounding items that made choosing difficult. In the end, I chose a Honey Cinnamon latte and a pimento cheese sandwich that they served on a waffle. I wasn't a big fan of the sandwich--I'm not sure the waffle worked with the pimento cheese but the latte was GREAT. I can't wait to return to Cleveland and to BonLife. read more

I've been to every coffee shop in Cleveland, ooltewah and downtown Chatt. BonLife is on my top three. Really good baristas and the beans they use are amazing. Never bitter. They are located in an odd shopping center.. kind of looks run down but don't let that keep you from trying some of the best coffee! read more

Excellent coffee! Far better than most of the other coffee spots in Cleveland. I simply had their plain drip coffee and loved it! The only shortcoming I can come up with is the cost. . . It has to be a special treat for me! As a side note, you should be aware that they do not accept cash for payment. Credit and debit only. read more
