No thinks that there is an over saturation of coffee shops in lakewood?
Filling all Lakewood’s vacant businesses with coffee shops, tattoo parlors, and occult shops should really help with the city’s decline.
Trendy trendy! I’m getting priced out of Lakewood like people are in San Francisco!
Stoked to see a great Cleveland business continue to grow! Love everyone at Pheonix and their coffee! Congrats!
Root cafe was Phoenix coffee once.
Rising Star Coffee is only 0.4 mile to the west on Madison and a cafe called “The Coffee Pot” literally right across the side street from this location….
Congrats to the Phoenix team, love to see one of the areas best small businesses continue to grow!
Wasnt Phoenix already in Lakewood? On Detroit ave?! So silly
The best chai!
Ah, yes, thank you all non-Lakewood residents for complaining about this on behalf of Lakewood residents. I especially know the one who mentioned “The Coffee Pot” is not a resident, because that is a good diner with standard diner coffee, not a place you’d go to get just coffee.
As a Lakewood resident, I look forward to this! I think we can handle a donut shop and two coffee shops within the 33 block stretch between Warren and the Cleveland border along Madison.
