Was really glad that this small coffee shop was in the Arcade, right next to our hotel (Hyatt Regency Cleveland at The Arcade). Went twice and both times enjoyed a Flat White that was strong, frothy, and delicious. The staff was friendly as well. read more

Friendly staff on bar are killing it. Same great beans as well. Only little bit of challenge is the seating since I've last been here - 4 table tops near the window and a few in the courtyard area. Return - absolutely Coffee - great (for espresso) Staff - solid and know how to pull a shot Seating - can be better but I get it read more

I love the Arcade Building, and every chance I get to walk through it, I do--it's stunning. As someone new to Cleveland, the architecture always amazes me. I stopped into Rising Star looking for something light and refreshing. I told the barista, "Surprise me," which I do often--how do you know if you like something if you don't try something new? He made a sparkling seltzer drink with coffee and lavender, and it was delightful. I sat, did some work, and soaked in the beautiful Arcade atmosphere. A perfect spot to try something unique and enjoy downtown Cleveland. read more

Rising Star Coffee is one of the best in the city. This location has all that you can find at the other locations, but in just a smaller space. You can get coffee bean, equipment, merchandise, and great service. They also have a Little Free Library. There are a few seats inside with outlets for plugging in your electric devices and of course you can take your coffee out and sit inside the beautiful Arcade. read more

Great little coffee shop. The iced star tea is a nice caffeine free beverage for the simmer.

The cardamom bomb latte was aromatic and warming, with the spice integrated smoothly rather than sitting on top of the drink. It was a perfect balance, The shop itself is a big part of the appeal and enacts the experience. Located inside The Arcade, historic shopping center in downtown Cleveland. read more

Cute little coffee shop in the Hyatt Regency "Arcade" hotel. Great flavor and varieties of coffee and espresso, kind and knowledgeable baristas, cute decor, and reasonably priced! I ordered an iced Americano and was pleased with my drink order. I will return here again for my morning coffee needs and wants while I'm in Cleveland for a conference. Thanks Rising Star! read more

Fun location and friendly staff. Definitely a coffee shop to check out. 2025 Superman was filled inside this "arcade" building. The coffee is tasty and their syrups are hand made. I wish they had more savory food, but maybe in the future! read more

Based on half a dozen visits. This place is in the arcade street side on Superior avenue. This location like others has really good coffee in bags that they can grind for you and often offer to do so. They are focused on providing quality coffee and paying farmers fair prices based on what I have read. The poor overs are good as well as drip. People I was with had espresso based coffee drinks and said they were good. The staff have always been friendly. The pastries have all been good and taste home baked. The location is smaller but quaint and in the old arcade and has a nice vibe. I am a big fan of the atmosphere and love sitting at one of the tables and relaxing in the morning, usually after a night out during one of my visits ( I am originally from the area but live a few hours away now). Definitely worth a try. read more

Lovely coffee spot inside of the Arcade. I had to stop in between meetings for a delicious espresso. The staff were very nice and didn't make you feel dumb when you asked questions. I would recommend if you are staying here to come and get a delicious and local caffeinated drink! read more

Cute coffee shop attached to the Hyatt Regency at the Arcade and perfect for a morning coffee when staying at the hotel. I got the dirty chai with oat milk and I loved that the chai had a good spice/bite to it and wasn't overly sweet like other big chains. I came back a second day in a row to enjoy another one. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic coffee shop. Went here during my stay at the Hyatt, and it was positively lovely. The staff are beyond friendly, and clearly have an organized workflow because they cranked out coffees at the speed of light! And all freshly made! My iced mocha was heavenly, so much so I had to come back two days in a row to have one! read more

One of the best Lattes I've ever had! Definitely a must try spot in downtown Cleveland

A great cafe tucked in the corner/entrance of the Arcade. Was thankful to have this nearby as the hotel's restaurant was not a good breakfast option whatsoever. I had the Promise Land iced latte, which was a mix of honey and cinnamon. Delicious drink! And even though I'm not big on vegan food, I accidentally grabbed a scone before reading it. Turns out, not bad for vegan version! Of course, incredible backdrop of the Arcade building for the gram. read more

Rising Star was a great find. The coffee I got was the iced promised land and it was heavenly. The bagel was from the Cleveland bagel company and was very good! I will say the coffee was extra strong and had me wired well into the afternoon and the wait time is a little rough. It was about 15 mins but can be expected during a morning rush read more

This coffee shop gave me friends vibes. Yes it was smaller than the actually Perk, but super homie. When you think their isn't more. You step into an old shopping mall with an interior architectural design from those movies. It's just so precious. I digress. Back to the coffee. Itvwas so perfect. I loved the doctor you can taste the coffee with a hint of flavor. Just the way coffee should be. I forgot what I ordered, but I know I would go back for that or something new. read more

Rising Star - Lavender latte perfection - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Such a cute coffee shop and I'm so glad this was conveniently located at the hotel we were staying at! I had their cappuccino with almond milk and it was perfect. Loved that it was well balanced and soothing for my soul. They also had other wonderful-sounding lattes with lavender or matcha which I didn't get to try. Their spinach and cheese croissants were awesome as well. They weren't able to warm it up in their shop so I had to heat it at the hotel lobby's microwave upstairs. Eating them hot made them even better and I loved how buttery they were. Although there was almost always a line, the staff were very friendly. Would recommend! read more

What a cute little cafe! I loved it! All female crew behind the counter with bright smiles. It's uniquely located downstairs of The Arcade building! Really great for getting customers from The Hyatt hotel. Which was where we were and hence went for breakfast! I had a hot chocolate which was yummy and spinach croissant. The bakery items are source from a local bakery called Blackbird! There's seating on the inside or you can grab your cup to go! They also have coffee beans and different coffee making things on sale! Definitely glad I stopped in. If you live in Cleveland or passing through as I was please shout them out. read more

Rising Star Coffee Roasters is a local coffee shop inside The Arcade, a historic shopping mall now a Hyatt hotel. Tourists often visit to see the five-story glass atrium inside and Art Deco decorations. In the back is this tiny coffee shop popular with guests and locals. My family went on a Sunday morning and the line was long, but customers dedicated. It's a good sign when people are willing to wait for coffee. The shop sells a few food items like bagels and pastries and have a full coffee menu. My latte was well made and tasted great! read more

A great cafe in the Cleveland Downtown area. 1. Very friendly staff! 2. Quick preparation of tea/coffee etc 3. The bakery items are from a local shop called Blackbird and they taste amazing. I highly recommend the vegan banana bread. The apple cinnamon muffin was also sooo delicious! Great job on high quality service and food. P.S. they went beyond to help me with some water for my infant. Thank you! read more

Perfect cortado! The espresso shines through the milk reminding one of dunking a macadamia nut white chocolate cookie in a cup of milky coffee from your great-grandmothers house. Except ... it's far more sophisticated than that. read more

It's always nice to visit a Rising Star. Rising Star has several locations around Cleveland that give you such a sense of "home" when you see them. In my opinion, this is definitely on of their more unique locations (more on that below). I agree with all the others, this is some of the best coffee in Cleveland, if not the best! We are so lucky to have Rising Star and its delicious, authentic coffee. This location is definitely different than the others. Its inside The Arcade, accessible from Euclid or Superior. This one just has a small seating area compared to its counterparts. It strikes me more as a transient location--a place for more grab-and-go coffee because its adjacent to so many hotels and a little bit of an odd location. That doesn't make it bad, just different, so I'd probably choose a different lovely Rising Star to sit and work for a while (not during the pandemic). For drink orders, I'm admittedly not a big coffee drinker, but I love their speciality, seasonal and tea selections. Rising Star has a fabulous matcha and a current seasonal Star Tea that's an AMAZING blend of multiple fragrant herbal teas. I also love their Lavender Latte. Don't be shy to ask the staff for suggestions, they are always super friendly and very happy to help! You can always count on Rising Star! read more

Cute coffee shop with friendly baristas and a fair amount of seating. The coffee and latte that we had were both good. I appreciated that oat milk was available for free at the self service bar. My only complaint was the lack of options for different sizes. As far as I could tell, my hot drip coffee was only available in 12 ounces and the iced latte was only available in 16 ounces. I had a long day ahead of me, so I would've preferred a larger coffee to fuel up. read more

Early Sunday morning, was trying to find an open coffee place that wasn't your normal chain. Tucked away at the northwest corner of The Arcade, this modest shop has a small line as they were only allowing two people at a time inside. Decided on the "Cardamom Bomb" ($4.50) - a combination of espresso, cardamom, brown sugar and steamed milk. Wanted to get skim milk in the coffee, but for some reason they only had whole, almond, or oat (opted for the whole). Drink is ready after about an 8 minute wait, which I was able to enjoy at one of the public tables in the mall. Fine flavor in the coffee; thick texture with the whole milk and cardamom, so best to sip leisurely. They do have some pastries, bread options for food, but mostly focusing on the drink options. Would try something more basic if visiting again. read more

Iced coffee with strawberry milk? Sounds terrible, nahmean? BUT...It was delicious. I'm pretty sure it was a seasonal offering so I will have to wait to get another one. Fear not! For there are other delectable creations to delight your tastebuds. For example the cardamom bomb latte is absolutely magical. It has cardamom in it obviously; honey and some other warm spices. I recently tried the oat milk. I was nervous to try it for some reason, maybe because I don't like almond milk? The oat milk vanilla latte was smooth and delicious. I might be my new favorite. Baristas are helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have about their creative offerings. read more

I was surprised to find this little gem of a coffeeshop nestled in the corner of the Arcade. The vibe inside is downtown hip with eclectic furnishings. And the coffee delivered on expectations. Smooth, rich, and satisfying. I got the mocha and it wasn't overly sweet; the full-body espresso shone through. This would be a fun place to work when downtown. I wish they offered multiple sizes for their mochas, but the medium (12oz) was satisfying. They also offer flavored milk in a little fridge case. If I was local, I'd definitely pick up a bottle (and return it for the $2 glass bottle deposit). Overall, this was a fun start to a morning of exploring downtown Cleveland. read more

coffee was tasty. service was quick although not super friendly. tried the cardamom and the promised land both great options!

Pretty good coffee. Staff were not very friendly - too busy chatting amongst themselves.

We were staying at the Hyatt and needed a quick breakfast. We are early risers so we got there just as they opened. My son got a giant cinnamon roll and I had the BEST vanilla bean latte ever. I wish it was twice the size, it was so good. Friendly and fast service. read more

Best coffee shop in downtown Cleveland. Hands down. I had an americano and tried the pour overs as well. And without question the best coffee in downtown Cleveland.

I came to Rising Star Coffee Roasters for an afternoon iced coffee pick-me-up. I was staying at the Hyatt Regency at The Arcade and stumbled across this quaint coffee shop while strolling The Arcade. The gentleman working there was very friendly and engaging. He apologized that their espresso machine was temporarily broken but I told him it was OK because all I wanted was an iced coffee. My iced coffee was delicious and I sat and enjoyed it in the quaint little seating area inside the shop. The shop itself is very tiny with one couch, one chair, and a high top table with two chairs. They have art made by local artists hanging on the walls and a selection of art magazines to browse through. It was a quiet and refreshing little spot to sit and just enjoy my afternoon iced coffee. read more

Baristas were friendly and inviting ! They suggested each of their favorite drinks when I couldn't decide. (Mocha vs promised land latte) I went with the iced mocha and it was super creamy and delicious! Paired with their raspberry jammer which was basically a giant biscuit version of that classic cookie you always find at Christmas parties! The music was mellow and the atmosphere was calm. I really enjoyed it and will be back next time I'm in town to try more things! read more
