Troubadour Coffee Roasters

I've ordered from them four times now and after trying many other local roasters in the NE Ohio area this has become my favorite. They roast their beans to perfection. The flavor is preserved in their ethically sourced beans. I continue to order new blends and I'm genuinely impressed.

Hot chocolate was not that great but this place was really nice for having a conversation with a friend. It's nice and quiet, not too crowded, and had a nice view of the snow outside the window.

I actually hope to come back and try their coffee and dessert at some point. Would recommend if you want a quiet, small coffee shop.

Edit: this place has quite literally the best coffee I have ever had. I strongly suggest getting it black, even if you don't normally drink black coffee. They put a lot of thought, work, and care into their ingredients and it really shows. Absolutely try coming here if you're looking for nice atmosphere or a good cup of coffee.

An cozy coffee shop with a calm atmosphere and excellent coffee. They don't provide cream, and you don't need it. I've had many friends who tried their coffee and found it more flavorful than anything they have tried before.

Prices are average for a specialty coffee store (about $3-4 for a pour-over as of the date of review).
Service is friendly and knowledgeable, and they will answer questions and bring the coffee out to you.
Space is comfortable and ample enough to work, and outlets/wifi are available.

Highly recommended.

Great selection of organic coffees. Limited food menu. The only real drawback is they don't offer creamer or any flavoring for your coffee. Staff was very knowledgeable about the coffees and conversational, and the live coffee plants sitting in the windows were fun to check out while waiting. They grind and brew every coffee to order.

Without a doubt the best coffee I have ever had. Pricey, but worth it. Small batch roasting, a varied selection of beans and processes, and a knowledgeable barista means I get amazing coffee every time. They also have bakery items including biscotti (cherry one is awesome) and banana cake which was so good! Quiet place to relax in, too. UPDATE: attended a coffee class there on 1/12/19 - Great information (Tony is a self proclaimed "coffee nerd" and proved it!). Wonderful tasting menu and got great tips for brewing better at home. Give the class a look even if you think you know coffee - well worth the time and price.

Quality cup of coffee! If you like your coffee without masking the flavor with syrups this is the place for you! The coffee was smooth and enjoyable the way great coffee should be. I will define be back! Also, a great quiet place to have a conversation with friends.

People who can appreciate a great cup of coffee need to try this place. Tony only serves his coffee black, which is appropriate for how good it is. If I don't roast up a batch of beans myself i get my beans from Troubadour. Everyone there is knowledgeable and friendly. Try a coffee flight if you want to see how different the coffee tastes.

I tired this coffee shop on it's first day opening. I was very excited for a new specialized coffee shop in Fairview Park. I was waiting for months watching them fill the building with all of their things. I was so excited when they opened and now I visit as often as my budget allows me to.I am very picky about my coffee drinks but I have to say, this shop makes THE BEST beverages around! I have had the mocha and recently switched to the Lady Jester (dark chocolate and raspberry!) it is so unique and delicious. Be sure to make this a regular stop!!

Traveling. Wanting to avoid corporate coffee. Decide to try Troubadour, despite reading a review commenting on the "unkind" vibe. Wife and I went in. Chose and ordered two "pourover" coffees. Waited. The barista made and served our coffee. We looked around the store for cream or half and half. Finding none, my wife asked. Was told, shortly, that they do not serve pourovers with cream. Okay. Fine. Can we get some? Barista repeated that they do not serve pourovers with cream. Insisted that he had told us this before we ordered, though neither of us heard this, and we would not have ordered these coffees had we known. We heard no such thing, we said. Then you were not listening, we were told. So you're saying we can't get milk? asks my wife. I didn't say that, replied the barista testily. He went on to serve another customer. We were incredulous. I noticed another man ordering a pourover and it was obvious he'd never been there. I hope you don't want cream in that, I said loudly, as you cannot apparently get such things here. All of this when clearly, since this shop also sells lattes and other espresso drinks, that the mixing of roasted coffee beans with the lowly daily products is not wholly unacceptable, and there is clearly dairy on the premises.

Imagine: this young man thinking he can dictate our preferences for us, here in these polarized and highly-stressed times when people are more on edge, and more in need of comfort and kindness, than ever. We left. I dumped my high-priced high-quality hoity-toity coffee on the ground in protest and left in search of a kinder cup. I shall not return.

At first, I thought the whole experience at this coffee shop was a bit annoying. Didn’t have any sweeteners for the coffee, there was a lot of talking about the beans and where they came from and how there is no need for sugar. But after I left I could tell the guy is very passionate about the coffee that he makes. He goes to different countries and pick the beans and makes the coffee the way it is meant to be tasted.

I didn’t really get the full understanding about all the information given to me in a short time. Once we got to the car and I tasted it. It was amazing! Then I felt everything this guy was talking about in our short meeting. I would go to the place again but I wouldn’t want to lecture on coffee beans unless I had time. However, I wish the guy would have coffee making classes or classes on the differences in the beans and so on.

I still remember a lot from my first negative experience that turned into a big positive!

He also has speciality tea!
