Crema's Take
“Grand Coffee in Cleveland Heights is arguably the city's most rewarding coffeehouse, serving genuinely excellent espresso drinks alongside creative house specialties like their famous Dubai pistachio chocolate—all delivered with genuine warmth and efficiency. The stylish setting with its distinctive quartz slab tables creates an inviting space equally suited for a quick self-serve grab or lingering over pastries and light breakfast, backed by an exceptionally kind team that makes first-time visitors feel immediately at home.”

Quick and with a smile service. Food was delicious and filling.
Arguably Cleveland’s most rewarding coffee house. Stylish setting with quartz slab high and low tables. Extremely kind staff. And “Grand Coffee” as the name suggests. Pictured is a Dubai pistachio-chocolate muffin and a Dubai pistachio latte! Both exceptional. Delicious caramelized, ground nuts, actual pistachio crema, and a milk chocolate drizzle over a really good chocolate muffin. And the latte has top quality espresso with plenty of (not sweet) pistachio flavored steamed milk. If you’re in the Heights and you don’t stop here, you’re missing something special.
The coffee was absolutely delicious! Ordered a bagel with cream cheese but there was only a thin cream cheese spread on one half of bagel (so other bagel half was dry) and also paid extra to add the smallest slivers of cucumber and onion. Kind of a bummer but would maybe try again sometime!
10/10 - One of my new favorites! I had my food and drink within 5 minutes of ordering at their self-serve kiosk (which was nice for someone like me who had never visited before). I got the Lox bagel and added onion and olives to it and OMG! So good I scarfed it down. My beverage was an iced latte with oatmilk and SF vanilla, also fantastic! My total was $16 before tip, so very moderately priced. My only suggestion for the atmosphere would be to play some music. When I visited, there was no music playing throughout the shop. I had headphones but typically I like to read to coffee shop ambience, lol.
A new spot! Grand Coffee in Cleveland Heights stands out for the overall exceptional experience it provides. The café greets you with a stylish, inviting ambiance, making it the perfect spot for relaxation or catching up with friends. The interior design strikes a balance between modern aesthetics and homey warmth, with comfortable seating that encourages guests to linger. Attention has clearly been given to creating a space that is as visually appealing as it is cozy, ensuring a delightful visit every time. The coffee is good, I also enjoyed the waffles. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, a heavenly treat for the taste buds. Excitingly, staff mentioned that Grand Coffee is expanding its menu, soon to include bagels among other tasty items, promising even more reasons to return. A 10/10 in my books, and easy location off the main street.
