Reviews
The coffee is good but imo not the best I ever had.
We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was good and fast too.
In the room you see a lot of (single) people working on laptops/mac’s. The wifi must be good!
If you look further you see they bake a lot if their own cookies so that’s a fresh cookie experience.
Parking space is more than enough so after a lot of coffee tasting this might be the best in town for US standards but there is room for improvement.
The issue is the owner. The way she snarls at people and gives children dirty looks isn’t subtle — it’s openly hostile. It’s not ‘reserved,’ it’s not just her personality. It’s rude.
If you dislike kids that much, at least offer reliable curbside so parents don’t have to deal with the attitude. I’m not interested in supporting a place where the owner treats customers — especially children — like they’re an inconvenience.
Here’s the only ding I had for BonLife and it’s not a problem for all; for some it might be considered a positive thing!
When I walk into a coffee shop of a morning, I like the baristas to be friendly. I don’t go to Starbucks for a reason. I like the little mom and pop shops where – ideally, anyway – people love their jobs, they love their customers, their regulars, and are happy to see new faces.
The baristas, while perfectly professional and courteous, were not particularly friendly. They inquired politely as to what I wanted, they delivered mostly really good espresso, and that was all.
I’m using measured words for the coffee; it was so much better than anything you can get at a chain coffee shop (Starbucks, Scooters, Caribou, etc.) and better than what you can get at many local, independent shops. There was just a touch of sour indicating a problem with the shot pulled, it was under extracted.
To be fair, I don’t use any kind of sweetener in my coffee so someone who even adds syrups or even a bit of honey or sugar might not notice it. It wasn’t bad enough to be a problem, just enough to have it not be great espresso.
In short, I wouldn’t turn anyone away from BonLife. Just understand what you’re getting. For me personally, I’d rather have an espresso drink that isn’t fantastic with friendly, smiling faces vs. a brilliant flat white with perfunctory service. But that’s just me.
The barista recommended the grape soda cold brew — and while it might sound unconventional, don’t knock it until you try it. It was perfect on a hot summer day and easily one of the most memorable specialty coffee drinks I’ve ever had.
I liked it so much, I went back three more times over the next few days while in town for work. Atmosphere and service were excellent, and I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Cleveland just so I can stop by again.
