What People Are Saying About Arabica Coffee House University Circle

In Short
This University Circle location is housed in an old mansion and offers patio seating, live music, a fireplace and the kind of cozy nooks that all coffee conversationalists crave. It's a refreshing alternative to the growing lump of lackluster lounges around town. The java falls somewhere between the sting of Starbucks and the caress of Denny's--offering a slightly bitter but consistent cup of coffee. Also noteworthy is the selection and quality of teas and the chocolatey hot chocolates, available in white and dark.

I have traveled to Venice, Paris, London, and New York, and Arabica Coffee Houses are hands down my favorite in the world. They are not pretentious in the least. They serve great mochas, fair-trade coffees, and a wide selection of hot and iced teas. They have nice pastries, wireless (at some locations), and live music many evenings. There are always seats and cozy nooks, and no pressure to leave. Once inside, time escapes you. You can sit for hours talking with friends or reading.

I travel throughout the US on business and sampling local coffeehouses and chains is my passion and this chain is the single worst I have ever encountered. They offer an unbelievably bland product at premium prices ($3+). You can get identical stuff, better even, for under $1 at any gas station.

Besides having some of the best coffee to be found in the Cleveland area, the atmosphere is incredible. You can choose to sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful garden in the spring/summer/fall or the fireplace in the winter or you can go to any one of the many rooms to have a private conversation or to study quietly. I have traveled much of the Midwest, New England and Mid Atlantic states performing as a singer/songwriter/guitarist and this is the nicest coffee shop I have ever been in. I really enjoy playing on the deck in the summer and look forward to playing there sometime on a winter evening.
