Heartwood Coffee Roasters 46 Ravenna St., Suite D-2 Hudson, Ohio 44236 Heartwood Coffee Roasters As 2024 wraps up, John and Bea thought it would be good to get in one more location to close the year out. A few other locations have recommended us visiting Heartwood Coffee Roasters in Hudson, Ohio. So on the drop of a dime we made the journey out to Hudson. When we arrived it was quite busy and there was a line. Don't fret as it moves rather quickly. The staff has a good system and the service is spot on.  They have three locations in Ohio (Hudson, Chagrin Falls, and Pinecrest-Orange Village). We cannot review Chagrin Falls and Pinecrest-Orange Village since we didn't visit those locations. The Hudson location has a cozy feeling with a decent amount of seating. It tends to get a little loud so it might not be practical for someone wanting to read, have a meeting or study. We did find out that they do roast their own beans and they use Evergreen Bakery for their baked goods.  Be...

Ivory Bean Coffee House 44 E. Main St Shelby, Ohio 44875 Ivory Bean Coffee House After a wonderful visit to The Westmeister Farm we wanted to stop and visit a local coffee shop. It was between Ivory Bean Coffee House and another location. Through some recommendations we chose Ivory Bean Coffee House. We stopped in on an early Saturday afternoon. There were hardly any customers inside. It gave us some extra time to look over the menu. Our son, Robert, joined us on this blog.  We are not sure if it was due to the time we visited or what was going on, but we did not have a pleasant experience. The staff was helpful, but the products were NOT spot on. Maybe another visit is warranted in the future.  Bea ordered a hot Peppermint White Mocha and a Cinnamon Roll Muffin. The drink was okay and not too sweet.  John ordered a hot Butterscotch Brownie Latte and a Cinnamon Roll Muffin. He stated that the drink was a mix of flavors and a bit too sweet. As for the Cinnamon roll, John ...

  The Howland Bean 8024 E. Market St. Warren, Ohio 44484 The Howland Bean What does one do on a nice day in October? Well for us it's to head to a local coffee shop to divulge in some delicious coffee. Through Facebook we kept seeing posts about different drinks and knew that we needed to stop there. Our son, a tattoo artist, works at a shop in the Warren area so this worked out perfectly for us. Plus, we've had several people recommend The Howland Bean.  When we arrived we noticed that it was quite a busy location. We were able to check out the menu and make our decisions before our turn at the counter. One thing we noticed was that they offered coffee flights. Since Halloween was right around the corner that was the option for us.  Bea chose the Serial Killer Coffee flight which consisted of four horror movie killers. These were chosen as an iced latte over hot. Below you will find how Bea rated her favorites with Michael coming in #1. 1.  Michael (Pumpkin Pie Moch...
