Unfortunately the Bigsby's location at Shaker Square was closed during what would normally be regular business hours. Apparently due to staffing issues they're only open until 1:00 in the afternoon. A nearby Bigsby's location at Fairmont Circle adjacent to the John Carroll campus seems to be busy all the time. I believe Bigsby's made a terrible error in judgment and moving into the Shaker Square space that was formerly occupied by Dewey's. Shaker Square / Larchmere is a unique funky little neighborhood and the previous coffee shop there was a perfect fit, comfortable, relaxing and uniquely decorated.

But, be SURE to check your coffee order before you leave, or you may have to "pay" for...
Read moreThe cashier was friendly. Upbeat staff and customers. Clean Cafe. The actual service was terrible. It felt like an assembly line factory and not a coffee shop. The coffee was fresh, however but underwhelming. Once the so called barista did serve the coffee up it, she mumbled the order, and I had to clean the spilled coffee from around the cup. I couldn't say anything because it was a fast food assembly line! And what type of was did I drink, was it roasted? French? Colombian? Sumatra? Arabica? It wasn't actually listed. There were multiple cold coffee options. Maybe insert the word cold between Biggby and coffee. My prediction is that Peets, Caribou is waiting for them in the...
