A forest-green bar is the focal point of this cafe and bar space in the Cleveland neighborhood of Hingetown. Located in the former storefront of Cleveland Tea Revival, Verbena integrates that history in the drink menu, with teas and tea blends in both their cafe and bar menus. Try a Lavender Haze cocktail (butterfly pea tea lemonade and Three Spirit Livener) or La Verbena (iced jasmine tea with Aplos Arise) for a taste of the past and present. Verbena’s exterior is covered with the herb that gives the shop its name, and inside arched bookshelves show off the cans and bottles for purchase. Cleveland’s first completely NA gathering space, Verbena also serves small bites and desserts, like warm dates and limoncello affogatos.
