Rise Above Cafe
10400 Lorain Ave, Lakewood, OH
Crema's Take
“Rise Above Cafe is a beloved community hub in Lakewood that's earned genuine loyalty for being so much more than a coffee shop—it's a safe, welcoming space where people celebrate milestones, find encouragement during difficult times, and build real connections over traditional drinks and games. The staff here genuinely care, taking time to listen and support regulars, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a sober-friendly environment with nightly meetings, a pool table, and the kind of authentic fellowship that keeps people coming back for years.”

I had my 2 year anniversary here 💜 and they were great!! I love this place and have been going here for years!!!
Ok little Cafe. Needs some updating and cleaned up a bit but it's a good place to hang with sober people.
I'm very impressed with the time I spent there at first I was scared to go in because I was told a lot of negative stuff from the transgender community but I'm glad that I faced that fear because they were very very accepting of me I'll definitely be going back
I'm having a rough patch in getting sober and the guy at the counter took time to encourage me. I cried like a baby listening to him. It's good to have someone listening and encouraging. I'm going back there tonight for sure. Thank God for him and that place!
Meetings EVERY night of the week, and a GREAT SOBER place to hang out ANYTIME 🙌 There's a pool table, as well as TVs & ALWAYS sober people, food, fellowship & fun😁
