LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Caffeine, a Lakewood coffee shop and eatery, opened its doors last week to the public.

The storefront, at 14701 Detroit Ave., is sandwiched between Panera Bread and Sauced Taproom & Kitchen.

Owners Anatolii Shtyrka and Roman Knysh came up with the idea to open a coffee shop about a year ago. They finally opened Caffeine on Wednesday, April 17.

Caffeine offers coffee and smoothies on its beverage menu, and also has a croissant menu. Visitors can order croissants with a variety of fillings, including ham and eggs, chicken and vegetables. So far, the salmon croissant has been the most popular item, said Shtyrka.

Baked goods at Caffeine are provided by Allie Ellen’s Bakery, a local bakery. Shtyrka said most of the shop’s fresh produce is organic, including its fruit and coffee.

Caffeine features an open space with plenty of natural light.

“We were trying to make a lounge spot for everybody,” Shtyrka said. “It’s not just you coming in and grabbing a coffee like most coffee shops. We were trying to make it unique.”

Shtyrka said he hopes to add ice cream, waffles and wine soon.

Caffeine is open from 6 a.m.-8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m.-8 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. You can find more information on Caffeine’s Facebook page.
