I've always found a close parking spot on Taylor. Oh, I also bought their bean so that I could make my own flat white at home. The bean is really good, I don't have a commercial machine, I only have a consumer version, but it's still really, really delicious. I forget which bean they use, but if you ask the person at the counter, they will tell you because that is how I found out. I highly recommend Rising Star. I've been to two locations and they are both stellar. (oops did I really just say star and stellar? That was an accident, but I'm not changing it.)

You guys know me, I am rarely a Grumpy Gus in my reviews. I give more stars than I probably should…read more But I can only give the Cleveland Heights location of Rising Star Roasters 3 stars because I have more negatives than positives from my August 2026 visit on a busy Sunday morning. I will not give it less than 3 stars because the interior decor is lovely, there's ample space to sit inside, and the baristas were efficient. There are also a lot of local small businesses selling their wares in here as well like Jeff's Candy, Cleveland Vegan, Stem Soap Co, etc. So, I love coffee and I am also not picky. I even like gas station coffee more than I should! But the prices here are too high and the beans weren't good enough to justify the cost. I got a cold brew ($5.75). Normally, I add almond milk and sugar free syrup to my cold brews. But I balked at the $1.00 almond milk cost and there are absolutely NO sugar free syrups of any kind offered here! None! So I added a packet of splenda and some of the free oat milk to make it tolerable. Not bad after that but not great. My boyfriend had better luck with his iced Chai ($5.25). He did pay to add almond milk and the spice in the drink was nice and strong. But the most egregious error here was the awful blueberry vegan scone we bought ($4). It was a hockey puck of weirdness. The berries in the scone were the best part of the scone. Too bad there were only like 5 berries total. The batter just wasn't good and it was bright yellow from the Earth Balance butter. It was crazy busy when we visited so obviously, this is the preferred coffee shop for many of the locals here. But I think this won't end up on my list of coffee shops to come back to. Life is too short to drink mediocre coffee!

There's lots of tables and chairs for meetings and to get work done. I didn't check the outlet situation, but plenty of the tables are around the walls, so hopefully there are enough outlets. I also liked that they had a good amount of countertop seating around the coffee bar. They have a few savory pastries and also sweet treats. They roast Heartwood Coffee beans and have a good amount of syrups, as well as seasonal drinks. I got a cardamom and honey cafe au lait and the spinach and feta pastry. You can ask for them to warm it up a bit which was nice. I'm not sure where the pastry was from or if they make their own, but it was fine. The coffee drink was great. Noise level was fine.

I love 7 Brew! Certainly, the beverages are delicious. But what amazes me is the volume of business…read morethey're able to conduct out of this tiny island in the middle of a shopping center. And the prices they charge are premium! (That's why I don't come here very often). I imagine anyone in business would be interested in a model like this. Make sure your public-facing employees are neat, polite, and service-oriented, also be sure your product is high-quality. Most restauranteurs will tell you that the price you pay is partially for "real estate." In other words, somebody's got to pay for the decor, at least. But 7 Brew has none of that yet they levy a fairly harsh "tax" for the privilege of purchasing there. I suppose the drive-in/drive out feature deserves some compensation. But again, I don't come here often because I would expect the pricing would reflect the lack of amenities offered. (note, for all my complaining I still return every three months or so.)

Get a free 12 oz of coffee here with any coffee beans purchase!…read more Rising Star Roasters is my destination for a strong cup of coffee. It's by far my favorite local coffee shop chain. I frequent this location inside Van Aken Market Hall. This coffee stand is located right as you walk into the main doors of the market hall. You'll need to go to the counter, order your food and/or drinks, and wait for the order to be called (typical coffee shop experience). Wait can be a little long during peak hours but it's worth it! You can then select various seating options inside the market or outside. Various options are available inside - comfy leather-like couches, leather-like booths, individual or group tables, and high tops. Outside you'll find tables immediately outside of the Van Aken Market Hall or seasonally on the lawn. If you stop by during the right times, you'll find the district bustling with music and seasonal events. It's also always a good idea to pick up a cup of coffee then go cowork at AO or browse the local shops. The menu at this and other locations is concise and simple. You can get brewed coffee, tea, espresso, lattes, and seasonal drinks. The menu is straightforward and not confusing. My morning go-to's are usually perfectly strong iced coffees. I also always pick up something from the specials menu. All specialty drinks are very well made and consistently prepared. I have never had any drinks here that disappointed me. Small batch snacks are available at this location such as croissants and tea biscuits. I sometimes purchase a snack here or patronize other vendors at the market. All coffee beans at Rising Star are top notch. I recently learned that they have a dedicated coffee buyer who travels to coffee farms and brings coffee back to Cleveland. They're also incredibly serious about their roasting process and have a local roastery. How amazing is that especially for a local coffee shop?! You can pick up beans at their location that are named after regions of where the coffee farms are located. Each coffee bean bag has taste notes listed on the bag, choose your adventure! Coffee bean bag prices vary from $16-19. They'll roast them for you and tailor to your coffee preparation method (i.e. coffee press). If you purchase coffee beans in store, you can get free 12 oz drip coffee! You can also order them online and they'll be roasted within 48 hours of shipping. I love to explore their coffees, get something new every time. I highly recommend this location for your coffee cravings! While you're here, look out for notNeutral coffee mug - sleek, 12 oz, and must have. In the words of Rising Star, "a laser-etched Rising Star emblem adds a subtle, sophisticated touch to the side of each piece."

Biggby customer service can't even admit when they are wrong and try to make it right! The drinks were average at best, a little bit above gas station coffee, one of my drinks was the wrong size. The food was average to bland. I placed my order at 8:45am, 2 of the sandwiches I ordered were with everything bagels and my order was excepted online and completed and I was sent an email that what I had ordered was properly completed.Once I got there to pick up my food I was informed they were all out of everything bagels a mere 3 hours after opening and there first week of being open. There wasn't even a huge line, there were 2 cars in line and I was close by and could see that they hadn't been busy. I asked for 2 Asiago bagels instead and they said ok, 5 minutes later I was told they only had 1 Asiago and the other would have to be a plain bagel. I wasn't even offered any kind of discount or apology for not having what i ordered. So the new store first thing in the morning is out of 2 of the 3 types of bagels they have and the food was very bland. Plus the waffle sausage egg and cheese sandwich was bland plus the price was higher than most and for what you get not completely worth it. Myself and my family will definitely not be customers ever again!!
