"Random google find before the aquarium and it didn’t disappoint for coffee. I had the vanilla bean latte with oat milk and it was fabulous! The boys had mochas and my girl had a hot cocoa. We were a little sad at the holiday time there were no pastries or breakfast items but I took that into consideration. Cute old fire station and had a kids movie on the tv! Service was quick and kind!"

"So, like, there’s this new thing? It’s called Snow Plow Cleveland, and omg, it shows you where the plows have been, like, 15 minutes behind real time. It totally helps me figure out which streets I can take on my e-bike. After my little ride, I ended up at Rising Star—it’s about three miles east but still totally West Cleveland vibes. I love that place. Got this awesome shot of the three baristas—so cute! And they had two tip jars: one said “Happy Dog” and the other was the Grinch. Like, duh, guess which one I picked?"

"Go to a Rising Star coffee shop when you’re in Cleveland. After my trip in Ohio, this is definitely the best coffee here. This location has great outdoor sitting in the historic district. Great shopping in the area that goes great with ice coffee!"

"this place is absolutely fantastic. i stopped here while visiting the area and will absolutely be back. i had a seasonal drink called the lake effect latte and my partner had the honey cinnamon latte. both were delicious! bonus for a really cute area to walk around afterwards and excellent ambiance."

"What a gift this coffee house is! All of the people who work here make this a very special space. I don’t even drink coffee or tea so I go to interact with the friendly, kind and helpful staff, all of whom are such quality and fun people. It is clear that they love their jobs, work really well together, and want their customers to have a quality experience. I’ve recently moved to the Ohio City area and this Rising Star location and the people who work here, whether they know it or not, have welcomed me to my new home. Highly, highly recommended!"
