With an emphasis on quality, Goodkind roasts its own coffee and sources specialty grade coffee with a cupping score of 85 or above. It’s all in-house made, with only a handful of exceptions such as caramel or chocolate sauce, but you’ll find a unique ube syrup and phenomenal chai from scratch — who some hail as the best in Cleveland.
The vibe inside this busy coffeehouse is cozy, Art Deco with a modern twist. With a renovation almost complete, there will soon be double the space for enjoying your morning brew or mid-day pick-me-up.
Try It: Co-owner Gabriel Miller suggests an ube latte, which contains the ube syrup mentioned earlier. . For those unaware, ube is a purple root vegetable; it’s similar to a sweet potato. “The in-house ube syrup has a sweet, chocolatey taste reminiscent of an Oreo cookie,” he says. Other top picks: Goodkind’s ceremonial grade matcha — a point of pride for Miller, or a chai latte that is delicious either iced or hot.
