"Most folks doing know this particular location has a head shop attached to it. I was able to get a latte and the cheapest candy cane bong available in the world! I checked the prices online; this place was $10 cheaper. Anyway, their small yet eclectic collection of smoking supplies and water pipes should not be overlooked because there are some real gems in there almost always! The staff is always friendly, and I always stay and small talk when they aren't super busy."

"This place is 5 stars all day. Gorgeously silky cappuccino. Perfectly drip coffee. I go out of my way to stop here whenever I am visiting Cleveland."

"Oh my god, I like totally always love hitting up Rising Star Coffee, you know? This morning I had the most delish cappuccino ever. And, like, I’m obsessed that it comes with seltzer water to, like, cleanse your palate—so fancy, right? They even put a couch in the side room now? It’s, like, super comfy and perfect for doom scrolling for hours. So, like, I made this totally cute photo collage of the current artists on the wall and my coffee ☕ and the, like, amazing vibe there. Seriously, it’s like the best spot ever!""

"It’s fine if you’re just looking for coffee or a cold brew, but you’ve gotta watch ‘em like a hawk if you order anything else because it’s 50/50 on whether they’ll make the drink with oat milk or regular milk. I made the mistake of looking at the bulletin board this morning, and after pouring another $7.50 down the drain when I got home I think I’m done. There are too many other options in the area to make it worth the hassle."

"Out of Phoenix, Roasted, and Rising Star… nothing beats Rising Star. Trust me. I’ve been coming here multiple times a week for over 4 years now. The staff has remained relatively the same in that time and they are all so friendly (new employees are too). Rising Star makes all of their syrups in house unlike Roasted- Rising Star also uses minimal ingredient oat milk unlike Phoenix and Roasted which use big name brands that have additives and chemicals. Don’t get me wrong, Phoenix also makes all of their syrups from scratch and is filled with great employees. I just prefer minimal ingredient plant milks. I feel good knowing when I drink a latte from Rising Star I’m drinking something that isn’t processed and filled with junk. I do miss when they had Floressa baked goods. They now sell Philomena which I doesn’t compare in quality or taste and is overpriced. Regardless, the next time you go to roasted for the atmosphere and end up dumping your coffee out because it takes like milk and garbage- I hope you find your way to Rising Star ♥️"
