If you're feeling yogurt and granola, get it; otherwise, it very basic and definitely something you could make at home for half the price. The coffee is really good. As a usual only black coffee drinker, I got their NOLA that has sweetener and milk in it, but it was perfect for me. Not overly sweet or milky and a great flavor. Their cappuccino and drip are good also.

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."

Shoutout to my boss for being a good sport and agreeing to lunch with me here for my 2-hr annual performance review! I ordered the spicy crab toast $16 and lavender blueberry collagen latte $5. The toast did have enough crab meat but was skimpy everywhere else and was zero % spicy! There were 2 skinny pieces of jalapenos but no extra drizzle of red chili oil or sriracha or anything. The melted cheese was good, but 1/2 slice of tomato, 1 thin piece of lettuce and like 4 strands of microgreens should not have been this pricey. It's fine for a light lunch but at this price I could've gotten a big bowl of authentic ramen with a bunch more ingredients! The latte was good but I wish there wasn't as much ice. My boss ordered a small latte and a PB acai bowl (those were pricey too!). I will say, all ingredients were very fresh and crisp. Just...please a little more! The ambiance was lovely and conducive to a nice work chat but the strong buzz of their blenders and constant whirl of whatever tool/appliance they were using made us have to yell to be heard.

I put up a copy of the advertisement from their instagram sight and I could be wrong but NOWHERE does it say in store offer only! That's false advertising. 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!!
