IN THE LIMELIGHT

Love Coffee, located at 5842 Ridge Road, is more than just a coffee shop. It's a "passion project" of Parma native Julie Bruno.  It started as a coffee truck, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Alzheimer's research—a cause close to Julie's heart after witnessing a relative's struggle with the disease. The idea for a physical coffee shop emerged during the 2020 pandemic when Julie was struck by the disconnect between individuals, and was inspired to create a space for community connection.


This approximately 2,000-square-foot shop, featuring nearly forty seats, has quickly become a hub for community engagement. Julie hosts various events, including live music, trivia nights, book clubs, and sip-and-paint nights. The menu offers a wide range of flavored lattes (the raspberry white chocolate "Parma Peeps"  is a local favorite) along with baked goods and products from other local vendors.


It's common to see a diverse group of people at Love Coffee: college students working on laptops, families playing board games, business professionals meeting clients, or even a local pastor chatting with her parishioners in a cozy reading nook. Julie's dedication to fostering a welcoming atmosphere has already made a positive impact, reinforcing the vital role local businesses play in bringing our community together.
