The Coffee House

Great place on CWRU's campus for delicious drinks and decent pastries. I've tried several of their drinks and have never been disappointed. The service is always friendly, and plenty of seating upstairs or downstairs to hang out and do work. I've tried one of the more substantial food options, and it was decent but not super impressive. I have heard that the vegan chili is really good though! (Pro-tip: Check them out on Too Good Too Go to get great discounts on a box of pastries that would otherwise go to waste!)

Wow. Not for the faint of heart, nor the needful of coffee. This is a classic example of "you had one job!!!" ...And failed. Miserably. Avoid at all costs. I'm not a coffee snob, and even I think this is tasteless, flavourless, overpriced bilge-water.

Food is delicious. Service is the best. Ambiance is wonderful .... Zzzzz. .......cc czzczzzbbbbb Xxxxx

Looking for local coffee while touring Case Western Reserve and found this gem in the middle of campus. Reasonably priced and a quaint little spot, it's been around for more than fifty years. The owner is working the register and prepping drinks and the service is excellent. Got the americano, which was great. Opted for waffles while the wife and daughter got croissants. Study rooms upstairs increase the appeal for the student population.

Stopped by for a pre-study breakfast and was not disappointed. Very cute, lot of students and a group of people seeming to have some sort of book club, meetup, etc. Vibes are great. I could see myself studying here for hours with the endless coffee, yummy sweets, and windows with great lighting. We got the iced coffee, waffles, biscuits and gravy, fruit tart, and cinnamon roll. Fruit tart and cinnamon rolls were yummy but average. However, biscuits and gravy were SO DELICIOUS. Waffles were also good, particularly because of their jam, and I'm not usually a fan of jam. Iced coffee was the only ~meh~ part, so I'll definitely be trying a different drink when I'm back. Overall, great food and great vibes.

First time visitor and I was so impressed !!! What a wide selection of delicious Caruso coffee, teas, and other drinks! Also, lots of pastries, some salads and sandwiches! This place was so cool because it had different rooms including a quiet study room, an indoor patio, and an outside patio! The guy who helped us was also SO nice!It only lost a star because it had a very strong old house smell. ALSO, for those who are wondering: they have PAPER CUPS! :)

As my wife and I walked around Case Western Reserve one Sunday morning, we really wanted coffee. Seeing The Coffee House just ahead of us, we decided to stop in. It reminded me of a couple of coffee shops that I frequented when I was a student, so it gave me a good vibe from the get-go. They had a wide variety of coffees and teas, as well as a small food menu and a display case of muffins and other pastries. I ordered a regular coffee, and my wife had tea -- no food. They were normal drinks, nothing great, nothing bad, just what you normally find in a university coffee shop. The space is like a normal crunchy coffee shop at a university -- it looks like an old house, and each room has tables and chairs, random books piled on shelves for people to peruse, a few couches and worn-out but still comfortable living room chairs, lots of wood and creaky floors. And it was packed -- we were lucky that someone was leaving and we could snag a table. One bad side to this place was the heat -- it was boiling in there. Like seriously, I don't think I'd be able to sit there and work for a couple of hours without falling asleep or sweating myself to death. Will I go back? Since I don't live in Cleveland, the chances are slim. Would I go back if I lived there? Possibly, though I'd have to do a little sleuthing to figure out when it is less packed so that I'd have a chance of getting a table without having to wait or depend on luck.

Charming ambiance, good service. I would recommend that more gluten free items be added to the menu.

They use cold brew in iced lattes instead of espresso? I thought it was a mistake, but after asking, they told me they use "cold brew toddy" for iced lattes and that I would have to "request" hot shots next time? You're serving people cold brews...not iced lattes...and the taste is clearly noticeable. I shouldn't have to request my iced latte to be made like an iced latte cute space and good pastries though! hope they figure out the coffee thing

Pleasant staff, decent coffee, and a beautiful building. I really enjoyed the fresh baked pastries.
