Tone House Coffee
ADDRESS: 20033 Detroit Rd Ste 103, Rocky River, OH 44116
FOLLOW ‘EM: @tonehousecoffee
FAMOUS FOR: Coffee and vibes – chic, modern space and drinks
This is the newest addition to the Rocky River coffee scene and honestly gives it a modern coffee touch the town has been in need of for a while! Specializing in classic espresso drinks as well as smoothies with things like collagen added, they are definitely pushing the envelope of what a new coffee shop should be.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see this become a go-to destination for coffee hangouts in River.
They also host yoga events and have pretty cool merch on sale!
Erie Island Coffee Co.
ADDRESS: 19300 Detroit Rd, Rocky River, OH 44116

FAMOUS FOR: Beautiful Instagram-worthy coffee drinks and treats
An anchor of the River coffee scene for a long time, the Erie Island coffee branch on Detroit Road provides a spacious place to sit down and relax as well as a drive through option for those on the go.
They have a constant rotation of seasonal iced drinks. This year alone, some of their famous additions have been the ‘lucky charms matcha’ and the ‘honey bun latte’ that actually features teddy bears on top! Alongside freshly baked goods, it’s easy to see why they’ve enjoyed so much success at this location for a long time.
Blackbird Baking Company (Across the bridge!)
ADDRESS: 1391 Sloane Ave, Lakewood, OH 44107
FOLLOW ‘EM: @blackbirdbaking
A stone’s throw from Rocky River, this well-known bakery deserves a mention as they also have a full espresso bar to go along with their famous baked goods. Why not take a short walk over the bridge and treat yourself to a croissant or focaccia bread along with a coffee of your choice?
