Rising Star

710 Jefferson Ave., Cleveland

Coffee connoisseurs sing the praises of Rising Star baristas, who are as knowledgeable as their keenly sourced coffee is potent. Each cup is meticulously brewed to order using beans straight from the onsite roaster. We're not surprised that after just eight years in business, the successful shop has already expanded to seven different locations. And the Tremont location has a fireplace to keep warm with a cup of coffee for when the days are so cold you can’t do anything else.

Michaelangelo’s

2198 Murray Hill Rd., Cleveland

Burntwood Tavern

Solon, Rocky River, Chagrin Falls, North Olmsted and Brecksville Locations

This local chain that now has ten locations started off as just a neighborhood tavern and restaurant in a small building in Chagrin Falls. And while the restaurant from the Art Pour Restaurant Group has blown up, they have maintained their cozy and small town feel by putting a fireplace in most locations.
