Crema's Take

Rising Star Coffee Roasters is a beloved third-wave institution in Cleveland's historic district where espresso craftsmanship meets approachable creativity—think meticulous single-origin pours alongside inventive seasonal drinks like their Lake Effect Latte. The shop strikes that perfect balance between serious coffee nerds and casual visitors, with enough outdoor seating to linger over your cup and proximity to excellent neighborhood breakfast spots like Patron Saint. With nearly 760 reviews consistently praising both their technical skill and welcoming vibe, this is the kind of place where a vanilla bean oat milk latte lands just as memorably as a washed Nicaraguan single origin.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.

Go to a Rising Star coffee shop when you’re in Cleveland. After my trip in Ohio, this is definitely the best coffee here. This location has great outdoor sitting in the historic district. Great shopping in the area that goes great with ice coffee!
