Everything we sell and serve is non-alcoholic. To be considered non-alcoholic, a drink must have 0.5% alcohol by volume (abv) or less. While it’s not fully alcohol-free, this minimal amount ensures you won’t experience any intoxication or psychoactive effects. Fun fact – a ripe banana actually contains more alcohol than anything we offer!

De-alcoholized refers to a process where alcohol is removed from a beverage, typically leaving behind the original flavors and characteristics. This results in a drink with little to no alcohol content, usually less than 0.5% ABV, making it a non-alcoholic option that still offers a similar taste experience to the original alcoholic version.  

For example, de-alcoholized or alcohol-removed wine is made by following the full winemaking process – pressing, fermentation, and aging – before removing the alcohol.

To do this, most wines undergo "vacuum distillation," a method that heats the wine under a vacuum at low temperatures. This allows the alcohol to evaporate without affecting the flavor compounds, preserving the wine’s complexity. In some cases, producers might add grape juice, grape must, sugar, or flavoring to enhance the body or balance the taste of the final product.

NA products are getting better all the time.  These are not the NA products you were served at your cousin’s wedding - it’s a whole new world!  We carefully curate our shelves to only offer products that do a remarkable job of capturing the flavors, aromas, and overall feel of their alcoholic versions, but since they’re non-alcoholic (which is the point!), there will be some differences. However, we’re sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised by their quality.  Many use warming flavors like ginger or peppers to deliver that signature warmth you often get with alcohol.

We pride ourselves in helping you take home products you will love and enjoy! We offer free samples of any products we have open and love to make recommendations. We will even write you a recipe card if there is something on our menu you want to recreate at home! Our product offering is curated to offer only products we love and we know we can find something you will love as well!

Functional drinks are beverages designed to provide health benefits beyond basic hydration, often containing ingredients that support specific physical or mental functions, such as energy, focus, or relaxation. We offer functional products that include adaptogens, caffeine, vitamins, minerals, roots, herbs, kava, hemp, and low levels of THC. Adaptogens are natural substances, typically herbs or mushrooms, that are believed to help the body adapt to stress, promote balance, and enhance overall well-being. These ingredients are commonly included in functional drinks to improve mood, energy, or cognitive performance.  Everyone’s sensitivity to these products are different, but we think the “drinks with benefits” are the future!

Our functional products feature adaptogens, nootropics, and other herbs that may not be suitable for those who are pregnant. We’re not medical experts, so we can't provide specific health advice. We recommend checking with a healthcare professional if you’re uncertain.

Yes! We serve locally roasted espresso from Duck Rabbit Coffee. We offer a variety of flavors and milk options and love to make your order just the way you want it! We serve Cleveland Tea Revival tea in a variety of options - hot, iced, or as a latte. All of our tea is loose leaf and brewed to order. We personally think we serve the best Matcha Latte in town ;)

Yes! We hand-craft everything in house so our food is super fresh, made to order and vegan-friendly. For example, the CTR Signature Rice Bowl comes with 4 fresh salads and our house-made Matcha Miso Dressing on sushi grade rice. It comes with a soft-boiled egg, but we can easily make it vegan by subbing in avocado. Please let us know if you have any allergies or sensitivities and we will do our best to accommodate.
