Rising Star Coffee Roasters

A small coffee shop with just four tables and eight chairs but lovely friendly coffee service, a little limited in terms of supply (ran out of matcha when we visited) and just a few items to eat, but offering an amazing view to a 1890 shopping Arcade, where no more shops are left but which still retains the amazing feel of a bygone era.

What a hidden gem :) You guys... This place is an awesome little Cleveland secret. The cafe smells wonderful, of course, and the location is great. If you're a coffee snob, this place has amazing coffee & pastry. The atmosphere is old school, cozy vibes, comfortable seating, some fun classic decor, and a thoughtful touch, friendly service, quick wood turnaround of tables. The line moved quickly and efficiently. The staff work with a sense of urgency. The baristas that greeted me when I entered, even waved to me when I left. You feel valued and not like you're just 'another customer'. They could've been reciprocating my attitude, but either way, I enjoyed their spirit. Most definitely check it out. Again, this is an awesome place to get a drink with some friends and enjoy some great conversation!

Transformational coffee. More sugar syrup with straight up jam infusion than your typical coffee. Addicted on first sip and visited every day while in town. The best part? Super consistent- each day their coffee was exceptional. Stop by and experience it for self. Super friendly staff too!

My vanilla bean latte was absolutely delicious—perfectly balanced and smooth. What really stood out was the elegant latte artwork; it was such an unexpected and delightful touch. The cafe itself is small and quaint, adding to its charm, and it’s nestled right inside the entrance to The Arcade. Strolling through the beautiful and historic building while sipping on my latte was a highlight of my day. The staff was super friendly, making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

My favorite coffee shop downtown. Located inside the arcade...can be accessed from inside or outside. There 2 tables and a couple other seats inside, somewhat small. Coffee is excellent and they have good beans on sale as well. They have pastries but I have not tried. Service is always very nice and friendly.
