Favorite coffee place in Cleveland. Some of the best coffee I've ever had (vanilla bean latte with oat milk). Good vegan foods (bagels, muffins, and some sweets). Good amount of seating, too. Situated in an old diner, the atmosphere is great, and the baristas always friendly and professional.
Disappointing. I want to like them but I’ve been here numerous times and tried different coffees/teas, plus their box of joe coffee and all of them have been…just really bad. Whatever roast they use is super acidic and tastes old the second it’s brewed. Their chai is just miserable. Go to Luna or Stone Oven instead
I was in the area and needed a pick me up around opening time. I’m not a big coffee fan so I was happy to see they did have matcha. The barista made it the traditional way which was good to see. It was pretty good and the baristas were very nice. This place looks like it was an old diner, very cool vibe!
Rising Star is my fav coffee dealer in CLE!
Great coffee and service, one of my favorite places. The matcha latte is really good. It can be hard to find places that don’t use a pre-mixed powder with loads of sugar, but Rising Star uses quality matcha powder and makes an amazing latte out of it.
I like the coffee. Rising Star has its own natural flavor
Good coffee, good atmosphere, and connected to a diner.
I checked out this place last Saturday and now I come every weekend.
My favorite coffee in town.
Top tier. My bagel. MY. BAGELLLLLL!!! TOP TIER. My machiatto. Top tier. Latte. Top tier. Top tier.
This is a really great coffee joint!! First, the atmosphere is incredible. It's very much an old diner vibe, resplendent with Cleveland charm. And the coffee - so amazing! I'm fairly picky about my coffee, and Rising Star passes every test I can throw at it - the espresso is so rich that I'm certain the city's going to try to tax it. (Get it? Rich?) The baristas are amazingly friendly, fast, and clearly accomplished pros. I'd recommend their cortado - it's to die for!
Great spot to get some work done.
Stopped in for just a regular oatmilk latte but decided to go with “In the Pines” instead which is one of their seasonal lattes. The name fits perfectly with a beautiful rosemary flavor that’s not too overwhelming but just has a nice piney taste. Probably one of the most interesting lattes I’ve had in awhile.
Excellent service and of course coffee - had the promised land latte and it delivered
My fiancée and I got an iced seasonal mocha and then a warm rosemary seasonal drink. It was such a cute environment. Friendly and kind baristas . The diner vibe was immaculate and we so enjoyed. I wasn’t expecting to love the rosemary in the coffee and I really did. Wonderfully crafted. High quality espresso :) loved it
My favorite local coffee shop. All of their drinks are well balanced, every season there are new drinks to choose from, and there is plenty of room outside and in the dinner side for studying or mingling with others!
Quiet cafe, nice for meeting people or sharing a pleasant drink.
Great coffee in a cool and unique space, will be back! The pumpkin pie latte was to die for as well, 10/10 would recommend if you’re a pumpkin fan
My favorite coffee shop in the greater Cleveland area!
Stellar baristas, excellent coffee, cute interior. Great place to work remote!
