Fig Leaf Coffee Company - CHESTERLAND

This establishment specializes in high-quality coffee beans and custom coffee to go. Customers also have the option to place orders for delivery or to pre-order and pick up their beverages. The service is outstanding; the staff will inquire about your preferred coffee strength and the desired grind size to ensure you get exactly what you want.

I’m not sure what this reviewer is thinking. I’ve been a regular at this restaurant almost every month since I moved to Chesterland about six years ago. The staff, especially the owner, has always been friendly and helpful during every visit. The coffee has consistently been fresh and excellent, whether it’s been roasted that day, the next day, or even a few days later (as far as I can recall). A 10-day roast? Really? That seems excessive; perhaps they should be more mindful of freshness. Coffee can indeed be enjoyed a day or two after roasting, right? As a vegan myself, I hope for a little understanding and less wastefulness. Maybe they could consider donating their leftover muffins (a Seinfeld reference) to those in need! To the reviewer: lighten up! Perhaps you should try decaf instead.

This was my fourth and last visit to this local coffee shop. The main reason for choosing a local roastery is to get freshly roasted beans, ideally just a few days old. However, I was sold beans that were roasted 10 days ago, as indicated on the bag. For a price of $20 a pound, I expect fresh coffee beans. Additionally, I found the owner to be quite rude, and he seemed to have a poor attitude towards his staff, even yelling at them. When I confronted him about his rudeness, he replied, “You want to know why I’m rude? Because it’s my business!” I sincerely hope the owner learns to treat his customers with respect in the future. This was a disappointing experience, and based on the owner’s behavior, I do not recommend Fig Leaf Coffee Company.
