Cleveland spot I love and have been coming to for years! My go-to is the Heathers Cocktail! Sticker secured.

Love this spot for their cozy atmosphere and comfy couches! They also have excellent homemade bakery items. Got the cute sticker!

I feel like this coffee shop had a chokehold on Cleveland for 2020. The specialty lattes are they're thing, and the ones I've tried are actually pretty good. Usually not my first pick when Downtown, but will always say yes if someone mentions going h...

Bad Owl Coffee Roasters: Home
Nashville
Nashville (duh?)
This place was poppin when we went! But if I’m being honest, it was a little too “meta” for me, too small of coffee cups for too much money, saying it was specially brewed, specialty lattes with handmade foraged syrups… listen— just give me a good ta...
