Rise & Grind Cafe
1314 W Bagley Rd, Cleveland, OH
Crema's Take
“Rise & Grind is a veteran-owned gem on Cleveland's West Side where Leo and his team have mastered the art of making every visitor feel genuinely welcomed—whether you're a local grabbing your usual iced espresso or a New Yorker stopping by unexpectedly. Beyond the consistently excellent coffee and creative seasonal drinks, the real magic is in the warmth of the space itself, paired with standout pastries and breakfast sandwiches like their signature pretzel sandwich that keep people coming back.”

Absolutely INCREDIBLE place! i was visiting from new york city and decided to stop by and i just love the atmosphere and service. leo and his team are so kind and generous— they make everyone feel like a regular! coffee was great and they always have cute seasonal specials. something truly unique and the embodiment of why you should buy local. if you’re in the area, it’s a must visit!
Rise and Grind is one of those places you’re just happy to have nearby. I always get iced espresso drinks and have not been disappointed in any that I have tried. They always have some new creative drinks on the menu besides their regular menu items. The breakfast sandwiches are awesome—fresh, filling, and way better than anything you'd get at a drive-thru. And don’t skip the muffins or cookies—they’re excellent as well and all baked locally not packaged stuff. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. It’s veteran-owned, and the owners and staff are some of the kindest folks you’ll meet. They’re always friendly, always thankful, and you can tell they truly appreciate every customer who walks through the door. They’ve also got a great rewards program that actually gives you something back relatively quickly if you're a regular, unlike the big coffee chains where you have to spend a fortune to get a free drink. If you’re looking for a chill spot with good coffee, great food, and even better people, Rise and Grind is it
The absolute most charming cafe with DELICIOUS coffee, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches! The owner made my day with his kindness and warmth. If you’re looking for a great coffee spot in the West Side of Cleveland - I couldn’t recommend it here more!
Super friendly staff with some delicious coffee, breakfast, and pastry options. Really enjoyed it and will be back again for sure!
Great, veteran owned coffee shop and cafe between Berea and Olmsted Falls. Super friendly and attentive staff with great coffee drinks, pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Pretzel breakfast sandwich was a good size and very flavorful. Inside is very cozy and inviting with plenty of seating and comfy areas. Will definitely be back.
