Coffee & Espresso
The Plain Dealer
"Cleveland's daily front page, in a cup."
Ingredients
- Espresso (Duck Rabbit)
- Oat milk
- House lavender-honey syrup
- Lavender-honey cold foam
- Raw honey rim
Why This Drink
Lavender's linalool pairs with espresso's lift to produce focused calm — energy without the jitter crash. Our signature, finished with a honey rim and floated cold foam.
Cleveland Cold
"Smooth, low-acid, all day long."
Ingredients
- Cold brew (Santa Rita Colombia, 16-18 hr steep)
- Coffee ice cubes
- Optional oat + syrup
Why This Drink
Cold-water extraction pulls the smooth, sweet compounds and far fewer acids — about 60-70% less acidic than hot coffee. Coffee cubes chill it without watering it down.
Steelyard Latte
"Forged in CLE. Fuel for the Comeback City."
Ingredients
- Espresso shot
- Coconut milk + maple syrup
- Blue spirulina + activated charcoal marble
- Shimmer
Why This Drink
Spirulina delivers complete protein and antioxidants; the charcoal-blue marble is the visual proof. A premium wellness latte that detoxes and glows.
Campfire Mocha
"Cozy nostalgia, mood-boosting."
Ingredients
- Espresso
- Oat milk
- Raw cacao (or reishi-cacao syrup)
- Torched marshmallow
Why This Drink
Cacao brings flavanols and magnesium for mood and heart health. Comfort with a function — nostalgia that actually nourishes.

Every choice on this menu earns its place. Here's what we leave out — on purpose.
NO BANANAS IN OUR BERRY BLENDS
Bananas carry an enzyme (polyphenol oxidase) that destroys up to 84% of the heart-healthy flavanols in berries the moment they're blended together (UC Davis, 2023). We build creaminess from mango, avocado, oats, and dates instead — so the antioxidants you came for actually survive.
NO REFINED SUGAR
We sweeten with whole dates, raw honey, and maple — minerals and fiber come along for the ride. The sweetness does a job.
NO EMPTY 'HEALTH' THEATER
If turmeric is in the cup, so is black pepper — because without it, your body absorbs almost none of the curcumin. We don't add ingredients for the label. We add them to work.
NO PRE-PACKAGED SHORTCUTS
We press, steep, and blend from whole ingredients — so we can tell you exactly what's in your cup, and why.
Our beans come from Duck Rabbit Coffee — Cleveland-roasted, specialty-quality, share our standard.
