Savor the Moment — Restaurant in Cleveland

West Parker’s have a fierce loyalty, if not cult-like devotion to their favorite coffee establishments. I posted my thoughts about the new Starbucks in the West Park shopping center a while ago and was inundated with replies about other places I should visit, each better than the other. There is a good assortment of coffee choices in the WP that are worth your time to visit.

On a cool Friday morning around 9 AM, I decided to stop by the extremely popular Savor the Moment coffee shop.

I nearly drove past the place. STM is in a non-descript building, but don’t let the dull façade fool you. STM is full of light and warmth.

You will be greeted by a proud old cast iron stove, and beyond is a spectacle of oddities covering every inch of the walls. This unusual collection consists of so many items, it would take several visits to take it all in. At first glance I noticed a collection of old percolators, antique signs of all kinds, a homage to the 3 Stooges, a Rhino head, and a toy stuffed tiger. Lording over all this rag-tag menagerie of items is the symbol of Cleveland itself – the leg lamp.

Absolutely nothing conforms in the place. There is almost every form of seating known to man including stuffed leather chairs, stools, and a wooden table and chairs you may have in your kitchen. I decided to sit at the retro style milkshake bar. Two girls with their mother were spinning dizzyingly on the red padded stools.

My senses being so overloaded, I almost forgot I came for coffee. STM has the most outrageous chalkboard menu. They have the usual, expected list of items, but also a selection of “star studded” coffees like “The Elvis”, “Dirty Harry”, and “The Meghan Markle”.

They have a wild assortment of teas displayed in Mason jars behind the counter with names like “Blood Orange”, and “Fruit Cocktail”. These are a special blend of teas I doubt you’ll find anywhere else.

STM also has a decent assortment of rolls, cookies, and pastries to complement your caffeine.

On a Friday morning it was primarily an older crowd of retirees. There was a steady flow of younger, neighborhood types standing in line, checking the time on their phones, in a hurry to get to work.

There were so many things to write about, I feel that I haven’t given the place a fair shake. Your assignment is to visit Savor the Moment coffee shop at 4080 Rocky River Drive and let me know...

I started a new job and one of my residents asked me, have I ever been to the coffee shop on the corner 2 doors over? I said what coffee shop? I never seen it 2 doors over from my job. So the next day I came in and I saw this little sign that said espresso on the window, so I decided to go inside and see what they had. Lets just say I had banana nut bread flavored coffee, a homemade cinnamon coffee cake and since then I have had every frozen coffee flavor they had. Everything and every flavor I have tried so far have been crazy good and better than all competition. A must try if you are ever in the Kamms Korner area on...
