Nice coffee spot in Little Italy. Parking is a little difficult since there's no lot and only…read morestreet parking. The interior is cute and comfortable. 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.

Solid cafe with good space to sit! I got the coconut matcha off their spring menu, and I really…read moreenjoyed the coconut flavor from it. I also got a chocolate scone, I wish they had an option to warm up their pastries but overall it was solid as well. The back is a bar you can sit as well but it also has random stuff like boxes around? So I'm not sure if you can sit back there or not. Other than that, good amount of seating inside near the front as well.

When and how did I discover Algebra Tea House? I don't exactly remember. I think it was around…read more2011. (It could have been earlier but my 5 star review of this place 16 years ago is an objective starting point). Although I have spent much of the past 23 years living in various places outside of both Cleveland and Ohio, I'm a born and raised East Side Clevelander. And whenever I resettle in the area, I always find myself gravitating back to Algebra Tea House for the good vibes. In the past several months that I have been visiting, I'm happy to see the place really feels like a cultural community hub and an outright neighborhood institution. Over the years, many unique small businesses that have shuttered operations in Coventry (China Treasure House, Big Fun, Record Revolution, La Cave du Vin), Cedar-Fairmount (Nighttown). I'm so happy to see that Algebra Tea House is thriving and continuing to create a unique and inviting environment for the neighborhood. I love the unpretentious and lo-fi atmosphere and operation. I love the DIY craftsmanship that permeates in every aspect of the business. The food and beverage options are also quite good. Although I haven't been around for many years, I think maybe there are more offerings on the menu these days. I especially love the vegetable stews on their chalkboard menu and the foul madamas (fava beans). Service is lo-fi and very casual. Just place your order at the counter. It is written on a scratch pad. Sit down and be patient. The food or beverage will then be delivered to your table. Pay on your way out. Bring cash if you want to avoid a credit card transaction fee.

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.

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.

Strawberry cheesecake gelato was delicious, reminded me of the old strawberry swirl cup ice cream you'd get at the grocery stores that came with the wodden spoon. But upgraded and a lot tastier. The slice of cake was decadent and went well with the gelato. Was almost like eating a pizookie. They had other pieces that I was tempted to get, but will have to be another time.

Favorites include their savory baked goods and cookies When it comes to lattes, so far I've liked their cinnamon brown sugar, and seasonal matchas (the coconut matcha a couple months back was good). It's good as dine-in (plenty of seating inside and outside, though still quite full on the weekends) and as take-out. Plenty of free parking available in a lot. Staff are friendly. Also last month I tried their restaurant week special (includes latte, panini, and choice of cookie or macaron). Ended up choosing the brown sugar latte (opted for oat milk), corned beef panini and gingerbread molasses cookie. All were good, the favorite and definitely would get again would be the latte. Also if you use the too good to go app, I love their bags (such a good variety with amazing value) which sell out in minutes. Definitely in my list of regular places to stop by.

The matcha soft serve was great. Cold, refreshing, and the perfect amount of sweetness that complemented the matcha flavor. I would definitely come back for the soft serve, especially since Cleveland has a tragic lack of places that offer matcha soft serve. I also enjoyed the cake. The cake itself was light, soft, and not too sweet. The strawberry jam wasn't bad and wasn't cloyingly sweet, but I did wish the cake came with more than one fresh strawberry. The cafe is small and has a few tables. The decor was absolutely adorable.

I've been to this Kung Fu Tea location a number of times between 2016 and 2019 and always found it…read moreto have some of the better boba in the area, not quite matching shops in the Bay Area and Socal, but close. As we were driving through Cleveland, we decided to stop and get a drink. Oolong Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($6.60) - The tea was way oversteeped, resulting in a very roasted, almost burnt taste. I asked for half sweet, but the sweetness level came out at around quarter sweet if compared to other boba shops. The boba was not good - I could tell it was honey soaked, but it was not cooked nearly enough. Quite hard and not a great texture. What happened to this Kung Fu Tea location? It used to be so good and now it's very mediocre. Then again, this might be a company-wide issue with Kung Fu Tea. Since the pandemic, I've been to multiple locations and I have not been impressed with any of them. I definitely do not recommend this place. I might have to swear off trying other KFT locations too given that it seems like their tea and boba is consistently disappointing.
