A gem in the neighbourhood

It’s definitely a little gem in the area where you wouldn’t think there will be such a place. They have plant-based food with decent drinks. The portion is big so it’s a good stop for breakfast.

Pros: Vegan, Large portion

A nice vegan breakfast/brunch option

Their coconut bacon was amazing as was their vegan sausage. Loved the waffles too, and the waffle cones with delicious sauces. I’d definitely go back.

Vegan brunch is fantastic

Vegan plate consists of tofu scramble, a load of home fries, "sausage," and toast. They had run out of sausage so we got the butternut squash "bacon." It was the least bacony faux bacon I've ever had - honestly just roasted squash! It did taste yummy though. Everything was super delicious. I loved the Tuscan herb toast. Vegan hotcakes (served with vegan butter and real maple syrup) were outstanding, though smaller and flatter than I would prefer. Coffee was excellent, served with coconut milk. Looking forward to going back!

Pros: Tons of vegan options, classy decor, nice staff

Cons: Paid extra for styrofoam (?!) cup of to-go coffee

Very Vegan Friendly

They have a seperate vegan menu. The inside is beautiful. The area is a little sketchy.

Very good

They have a ton of options and you won’t leave hungry. Our server was super fun and it was a really good time all around. I got a big breakfast with a tofu scramble and some potatoes and avocado and more. I will come again.

Worth a visit!

Visiting Cleveland these days it is so easy to find vegan food. Water Garden is worth a visit for breakfast or brunch. Full/separate vegan menus of brunch food and sandwiches. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the food is delicious. I love the attention to detail in the food presentation as well. I had never tried rice paper vegan bacon! Delicious!

Pros: Full vegan menu, Fries cooked separately from meat, Friendly/Nice owner

Great vegan food

Excellent service and delicious food! They had many vegan options. I chose the blackened tofu. It came with basil mashed potatoes and green beans. I will surely order that again. It was amazing!

Pros: Many vegan options, Easy street parking, Great service

Cons: Salad could be bigger

Great Vegan Brunch Option

Though not fully vegan, it nicely inverts the traditional menu such that most options are vegan with only a few meat/dairy options on the side. The interior is lovely and the food was yummy, making it a great option for some weekend brunch.

Pros: Most options are vegan, the marinated tofu was especially good, the interior was relaxing
