Delicious Sunday brunch - Edit
I ordered the Hash Browns w/ house Ranch and the Junior Scramble. Both were delicious. If I hadn't been at a restaurant w/ 'vegan' in the name I would have thought they accidentally brought me non-vegan ranch.

Pros: Delicious food, Menu changes seasonally, Cool vibes, fits into Lakewood very well

Disappointing. - Edit
I was super excited to stop into this place with my friend on our road trip but left feeling still hungry and disappointed. They care more about aesthetics than food quality. My quesadilla had a sauce drizzled all over it. The food was not very yummy and highly priced for what you got.
Read morePros: Totally vegan menu
Cons: Aesthetics over taste, Pricey but not filling

So sorry to read you had a disappointing experience. Most assuredly, we value the quality of food and we hope should you find yourself back in CLE that you give us another shot.

Amazing - Edit
I love everything about this place, but their bakery is out of this world. We got our wedding cake from Cleveland Vegan (hot fudge sundae naked cake with fresh black cherries!) and it was hands-down, the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life. Even non-vegans at our wedding who didn’t know it was vegan said it was the best cake they’d ever had. Love everything about CV 🩷

Lots of variety - Edit
We had breakfast here and the staff was fantastic! We loved all of the drinks and the Reuben was spectacular. I found the biscuits to be pretty dry and flavorless, but everything else was decent.

A birthday favorite - Edit
Cleveland Vegan has become a birthday trip to Cleveland tradition. I love everything about it. They have great breakfast dishes as well as lunch and dinner. They have a diverse menu, including seasonal menu items that rotate as well. They also have a bakery and awesome grab and go section. I highly recommend the tofu wings, and you can't go wrong with their brunch items. They have fantastic pancakes! Prices are reasonable, and portion sizes are pretty large. The dining area is nice, brightly lit, but still cozy. They are usually crowded, so you might need to wait for a table.

Ethical, caring and delicious vegan food. - Edit
I want to thank Cleveland Vegan for being an ethical and conscious 100% Plant-Based restaurant. It’s very important to care about animals and how they are treated. I am so glad I work for a company who is trying to do their best for us, the animals and the planet.

Drooling over the benedict - Edit
I had the vegan benedict plate! I was very pleased with the portion size and the taste. I was surprised by the texture of the vegan poached egg- I have never had anything like it in the past. I cannot wait to go back and try other menu items.

Very middle of the road - Edit
Two stars because there are better places that just have vegan options. Food is overhyped and bland. Prepared options in fridge are on par with prepared foods at the grocery store. Would rather eat elsewhere.
Read morePros: Shakes, Friendly
Cons: Flavor is just not there, Expensive for what you get

Top 5 Favorite Vegan Spots on Earth - Edit
What can I say. Everything on their menu is unbelievably delicious. From their drinks to their entrees to desserts, they know how to make a vegan happy. It’s even one of my meat-eating boyfriend’s new favorite spots. We had to be in the area for work and stopped here as much as we possibly could. If you’re there during the right season, get the pumpkin pie donut. Damn near brought tears to my eyes

Best in Cleveland? - Edit
Where would I be without the Happy Cow? Had a great lunch there today. I had the breakfast burrito and my partner had the breakfast sandwich. Both were very good. We also had a vegan hot chocolate made with their cashew milk. Very rich.

Better Than Some Nationally Famous Vegan Restaurants - Edit
We absolutely love Cleveland Vegan and have had so many top notch, delicious meals there. They’ve never disappointed us. The brunches are fantastic and the special dinners are worth it every time. We’ve special-ordered a cake that wasn’t on their menu and it was everything we wanted. The owners and staff are always super nice and welcoming. Cleveland Vegan, without a doubt, serves better food than several of the nationally known West Coast restaurants that are always getting a lot of press. (We moved from the Cleveland area but Cleveland is always come back!) 10 /10 definitely recommend!

Not the best vegan food or service - Edit
We went to lots of restaurants during our trip to the Cleveland area. The food here was some of the least memorable (a salad with very little lettuce and mostly shredded carrot; an undercooked zucchini fritter; a bowl that was just okay).
Read moreThe thing we remembered more than the food was the slow service. We were here for over two hours, and we ordered our food right away. Everything from water refills to meal prep to getting the bill took a long time.
Asked a local if that’s normal. She said it is, and because it’s the only sit-down vegan restaurant in the area, people don’t really complain about the food or service.
Honestly I’d rather go to one of the many other options in the area, it just didn’t stick out as a delicious or unique meal.

Nice vegan stop in Cleveland - Edit
We had a great stop at Cleveland Vegan on our road trip. We weren't too hungry, but ordering a few starters - tasty wings, nachos, and fully-stuffed tacos - ended up as plenty of food. Under other circumstances we probably would have stocked up on some to-go items as well.

Envious of you, Cleveland. This is the place to go for vegan food - Edit
We were visiting for about 24 hours but managed to order for pick up along the ride from the airport. I wished we had more time to go back. Met the catering mgr, while we waited. Very nice staff. Large sized casual restaurant. Had a section for already made food for take away. And they sell merch. I assure you the Everything cookie is delicious... I ate it while we waited for our food so no pic, sorry. We had the Classic Cuban, Crispy Tofu, Parmesan Zucchini Cakes, and the Chicken Sandwich.

Cute Cafe, Large Storefront, Delicious Food - Edit
Honestly I originally thought this restaurant was going to be a small tiny store front. But it huge. There’s so much space inside. The menu is also huge and they offer a variety of different pastries, hot made-to-order meals, pre-made microwaveable meals, espressos, and vegan cheeses. The pastry options were also out of this world. They had so many different items to choose from. Definitely recommend visiting if you’re ever in the area.
Read morePros: Lots of food to choose from, Huge dining area, Friendly staff
Cons: Hard to find parking, Very narrow streets, You will likely spend all your money on pastries
