I love the atmosphere of this new coffee shop! Like sitting at your own comfortable office. It's across from Barrio so really close to awesome eateries. They take passion in their coffee making! Making the drinks from scratch and with a little personal twist with out weird regulation measuring. It gets great natural light and you should try some of the classic coffee virgin cocktails.

Stopped in this morning and ordered an iced mocha. I received what was basically a cup full of chocolate sauce. I thought about going back and complaining. But honestly, I’m just done with this place.
From incompetent drink-making (this wasn’t the first time I threw my drink out), to poor customer service, to bad pastries, to too-hip-for-comfort furniture, I’ve given up. And I had such high hopes for them. They could have locked me down as a loyal customer. But instead I take a daily drive to Root Cafe or Rising Star instead of WALKING to Goodkind. Yes, they’re literally a 2-minute walk from my apartment.
I was actually one of the first customers when they initially opened. I was super excited and stayed to study at the long table in the back. But I quickly noticed that the table height was much too high for the chair level. So high that using my laptop was a nonstarter. I picked up to leave and helpfully told the owner about the problem. He said he’d received a few complaints already and was making plans to fix the issue.
And then he never did. It’s still the same.
So I’ve never gone back to hang out and work. At this coffee shop that I can WALK to.
The coffee is good. So if you’re stopping in for a basic cup of coffee, it’s fine. But it could have been so much more.

There are a ton of reviews so I can't imagine mine will be needed, but I'm here for my first time and I just have to say I love it - definitely my new favorite coffee place. I was a little skeptical of the flax seed chocolate banana muffin but it was almost ethereally good, and the iced chocolate mocha I got was fantastic and actually tasted like coffee, and not just like a big glass of coffee-flavored chocolate milk. My partner loved their pumpkin muffin and hot chocolate too. The vibe is super mellow, lots of comfortable seating and big tables, and they have two gender-inclusive bathrooms, one that looks like it's probably ADA compliant (there's also a ramp outside up to the door level). It looks like a great place for small groups/book clubs/meetups to happen as well.
Just all-around love this place. We'll definitely be back!

Quiet and quaint little coffee shop with a vintage and classic touch. I love the thought they put into the craft of their drinks and their esthetic. Great pricing, friendly staff, and a great place to sit down and work or read a book. I love when they have the cinnamon rolls, so yummy!

I come here as often as I can because the coffee is always great. The seasonal special drinks are unusual and not too sweet. I love the atmosphere, the terrific service and the attention to detail (as evidenced by the amazing bathroom wall paper.)

Great coffee shop in Lakewood. The lattes are the best. Also very appreciative they allow you to come in with your dog to grab a cup or snack Togo.

Handicapped friendly. Good access at door. Variety of seating. Matthew and other barrista are polite, friendly, efficient. Coffee excellent. Staff will gladly serve in ceramic mug. Recorded music is determined by staff to match the mood of the season. Always just right. Bagels & pastries high quality.

Goodkind is the perfect coffee shop. Great coffee (yay, Duck Rabbit espresso!) in a peaceful, pretty space. The staff is friendly and they pull a great shot. I'm appreciative that they offer half-and-half and not just whole milk.

By far my favorite coffee shop in greater Cleveland. It’s locally own and run, and their coffee is superb... frothed just right with high quality coffee beans. I visit weekly and would be there everyday they are open if I lived closer.

A good product and good customer service go hand in hand to make for a good business and unfortunately I only received one of those.
The tea that I ordered was good but the service left something to be desired. I walked into the coffeehouse and had to wait 5 minutes before being acknowledged by the barista. I know that she was finishing an order but that does not mean that you're blind or cannot speak, a simple "I'll be right with you" would have been all that was needed but instead I was ignored until she finished the previous order.
The place was nice but poor customer service is key to my patronage.
