Lekko Coffee
2529 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH
Crema's Take
“Lekko Coffee is a cozy Cleveland gem where genuinely warm baristas craft exceptional espresso drinks and creative house specials like their beloved ube latte with the kind of care that'll make you forget you're a work traveler far from home. The intimate space is brimming with personality—think little dino trinkets and baristas whose energy matches the quality of their pour overs—making it the rare coffee shop that wins over even the most discerning coffee geeks and casual visitors alike. This is the kind of place where friendly service and thoughtfully made drinks create an experience that lingers long after your cup is empty.”

Friendly and warm service! Nicest people we met in our time in Ohio and the UBE latte was very good! Excellent coffee spot in Cleveland that you gotta check out.
great coffee, average bakery; service is responsive and caring; store with limited seats but should be able to find spots
First time in and I’m already obsessed, the energy the barista’s had and the drink they made was AMAZING! -honey cinnamon latte😍 Also they have little Dino trinkets( my lost lands brain was so happy)
I’m in Cleveland for a work trip and coming from Nashville (where I feel the coffee scene is top-tier) I was a little nervous about finding a spot that would measure up. Thank god Lekko was near my hotel!! I ordered an Ethiopian espresso shot and a strawberry latte. The espresso was perfectly dialed in—bright, balanced, and well-extracted. The latte was equally impressive: flavorful and not overly sweet (which can be tricky with syrups). I came back again and tried the orange dream latte and was also super happy with it. I am shamelessly someone who looks for an aesthetic space to work + this was just that. The interior is clean, there’s bright light from the windows, and the tiny dinosaurs inside are a fun addition (you gotta go to understand (; ). While the coffee was amazing, Rachel really made my experience. She was so kind + genuine, and I really enjoyed our conversation. I have a service animal and often deal with access issues due to this, but they made us feel at home and welcomed. I’d be in here daily if I lived in Cleveland. Highly recommend
Do you want the best? Well, this is it! As a semi-obsessed home barista and “coffee geek,” I’m pretty particular about espresso and espresso based drinks. My day job with the airlines takes me all over the US and when on layovers I try to search out great espresso. Lekko is in the top 5 of my short list of “go-to” espresso places, and is easily #1 in Cleveland. From their house offerings to their specialty blends and single origin coffees, everything shows well. The preparations are perfectly executed, and extractions are thoughtfully planned to bring the most out of the coffee being served. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a cortado or espresso…you won’t be disappointed!
