Its a nice place with a good atmosphere and location. We were there for lunch on a Saturday and it was very busy. 45 minute wait for a table so we got it to go. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a beet burger with a cupcake and a lemon bar. The BEC was good, not great. Standard fare. The tempeh bacon was a little dry (as tempeh usually is) and needed some more kick. Maybe some more smoky flavor. The beet burger was the first time Ive tried one. I love the Beyond and Impossible, but they are everywhere now. I thought it was cool they still had something different. The issue is that it pretty much was just grilled beets. I liked it, didnt love it. Its strange because the best bites were the last ones when the burger, guac, sauce and cheese had all merged into a mash. The desserts seemed to have been what they are at most vegan places, a day past their prime and a little dry. The frosting on the cupcake was delicious.Id definitely like to try the place again. Everyone has off days, and maybe thats what we got. It certainly seems popular enough and it has some good choices.Fist to 5 (fist is 0) Id give it a 3 with the potential that eating in, just delivered to the table could earn it another point.Oh, and we tacked on a knit hat on a whim, which basically doubled our total. $25 for a basic hat needs a sign up as a warning. Not cool.

I absolutely love this place. The staff here are awesome, and that really shows on their Instagram! The food is good and is always exactly as described. From-scratch vegan food made with wholesome and tasty ingredients. Many of the options are delicious. I enjoy the cookie sundae (very large-- good deal for $6; would probably feed 3 or 4 people ), the nachos, cupcakes, cookies, mac and cheese, and other dishes as well. Some of the options are a bit healthier and less processed-- so sometimes not as delicious as regular store-bought items, but I think most people can find something they like here. If you dont love the food, the overall vibe is amazing. So kind, friendly, and caring. I love being here.

Everything was absolutely amazing!! Thankful I got pictures before devouring all this heaven 😩🙌 Not only was it all delicious, but all the workers were super cool & friendly, the vibe was chill & relaxed, definitely a new favorite😍💖 P.S. Highly recommend the strawberry banana smoothie, ridiculouslyyyy good😭🤍

Not bad food. Price not too bad also. A lot of workers gets your food done quickly. Come check them out.

Amazing menu, good prices, and knowledgeable staff. The menu has tasty staples I know I can always get (biscuits and gravy, gyro) as well as new items or seasonal items added (Reuben). Such a cozy place to sit and eat, or to pick up and take out! So lucky to have a place like this in Lakewood.

We have eaten there a couple of times, so we knew their food was delicious, but they also did a fantastic job with our wedding cake! We ordered confetti and chocolate for the flavors, and all of our guests have been raving about our cake... even weeks after our wedding! They did a fantastic job decorating it. We ordered peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies for our event as well, and they were equally delicious!Photo credit: Dennis Crider PhotographyFloral credit: Ashleys Floral

OMG, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC FOOD!! Cant wait to go back! Please tell me that you are going to open more locations! Its absolutely worth the drive! (Chicken sandwich, tofu, gyros all are a must try)

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to.Everything about this place is fantastic. I seriously cannot recommend it enough.

We got the loaded nachos, gyro, and chicken sandwich - all delicious. Would go to again!

This was my first time visiting a vegan restaurant and I had a great experience! I got their breakfast sandwich with chickpea bread. It was so filling and delicious! The staff was friendly and provided great service. I highly recommend!

Eat here. Just do it.The food is so good you could find it at any quality restaurant, not just a vegan one. I am not a vegan and I choose to eat here because I truly enjoy the food. Plus the service is great- kind staff and relaxed vibe. Also the desserts are amazing. Id probably eat here 3 times a week if I could afford to.

They have good coffee(iced latte) and delicious desserts(gluten free chocolate cookie). Plus a variety of foods! I would visit here very often if it were closer.

Got the hummus and pita along with the quesodilla. Both were excellent! Friendly staff and huge all vegan menu. This place is great! I just wanted to try more of the food.

So much better than I expected. The decor is so relaxed but the service was so amazing. And dont get me started on the food. Wow. Best vegan food (considering the price) Ive ever had. Ive paid more for a vegan entre and had better food but this place I can visit much more often and really enjoy myself, trying different things each time. Highly recommended.

Whenever I’m in town I make sure to stop here. I always get the CV slammer and grab whatever else is new on the menu. Great pastry and coffee options.

My husband and I have been going to Cleveland Vegan at least once a week since we moved to Lakewood 5 years ago 😅 I can’t say enough good things about the food and the staff, we just love them! They also catered our wedding and we got so many compliments (after hearing many people complain that we were having a vegan wedding beforehand). They blew it out of the water and impressed everyone. 3 years later and were still hearing about how much people loved the cauliflower lasagna. Vegan or not definitely go here!

Omg!! Soo good! Topped off with The Cookie Monster doughnut!The woman taking our order was super friendly to us first timers!AND grabbed me a “Yes, Everything is Vegan” T-shirt:)A must stop for any Vegans, Plant-Based athletes, vegetarians.

I cannot believe how good this place is! The biscuits and gravy are my absolute favorite. I really enjoy their food and atmosphere. Sometimes service is a little slow but that’s because they are so busy! They are quick to seat you though. It’s definitely a popular spot in Lakewood and I will be a returning customer. I highly recommend to my friends and family.

I have to start with the food! The Loaded Nachos were out of this world! I didnt get a picture because we dove in so fast! I also enjoyed the quesadilla - very good. The service was slow but oh so friendly when they did. Please visit!

Found this place on the Happy Cow app and let me tell you, it did not disappointed. From the start the service was amazing. The food incredible. The selection of pre-made foods option and pastries is convenient. Would definitely be back when Im in the area.

Trying a new vegan and gluten free meal plan. Im Italian so Im really struggling with finding things to eat that wont make me breakout or sick. I heard about this place and thought I would give it a try. The employees working were extra helpful and very friendly in helping to explain the menu and some dishes to me. I got the Tofu Tacos with the gluten free rice option and a loaf of gluten free bread to try. This is my first time trying tofu and I was actually pretty impressed with my meal. Cant wait to try the bread in the morning with some avocado. Thanks so much to your employees for making me feel comfortable because I was a little intimidated coming in and not knowing what anything on the menu was. Will be back again.

Food is always absolutely amazing as well as the service. Love it!

Drove from Columbus to visit and take out. My carnivorous fiance absolutely loved the gyro and chipotle potato skins. The fried chicken sandwich and mushroom stroganoff were exellent. We loved our experience and will return.

I was so impressed with this place! We went here on a whim while passing through town and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Best French onion soup ever, best grilled cheese, best spinach artichoke dip! My gluten free friend loved it and had plenty of options and had some amazing desserts, and my omnivore friend seemed to love it too! Highly recommend!

Went here with a friend for lunch. The food was awesome. We had several appetizers - the loaded nachos & the chipotle potato skins & both were very delicious and the portion sizes were great. We also had the biscuits and gravy which was a hit. Id order it again but would request to have an extra portion of gravy😊. The chicken bacon ranch salad was also a winner. We ordered several desserts - bars, cookies, and pie - each was worth it. I told so many people about this place! It has become my favorite place in Northern Ohio. The customer service was exceptional. Keep up the good work!

Awesome food and service! So many different options. Highly recommend!

I ordered 1 Vegan chicken sandwich and a smoothie. Ended up being 20$ even. That tells me either both of those items were 10$ each, or one of those items was more than 10$. Both of those answers are ridiculous. Super overpriced. The sandwich was mediocre at best, and wasn’t even as good as large chain fast food restaurants that sell vegan sandwiches. Smoothie was good, but still.. 20$? Are you insane?

Cant wait to go back

Every time I come here it’s something related to service.For starters the sign says wait to be seated and I guarantee to you will be waiting a while to be acknowledged.Along with the fact they’ll bring you your food first and by the end of your meal you’ll get your drinks.This is the second time I ordered the turmeric latte and got it at the end of my meal. I ordered my food for here and I shouldn’t have to take something to go that I ordered with my meal.When I brought up this issue the response was “drinks are backed up” if that’s the case you hold the food from coming out.I’ve worked in customer service from retail to food service and I’m tired of their poor service.Then the cashier snatched my receipt out my hand then laughed and said “oh sorry”

Literally everything Ive ever eaten or drank here is exceptional. If you havent tried it, do yourself a favor and go there. You wont be disappointed.

I live over and hour away and Cleveland vegans instagram spoke to me to come visit the next time I was in town. I was not disappointed! Everything is so delicious! We had a variety of food and thoroughly enjoyed it all. The restaurant is cozy and clean. Staff is friendly. Parking is on the street and is free after 6pm. PS My husband who is not vegan, also really enjoyed his meal!

Absolutely fantastic. We have been here several times in the past, and they are also crafting our wedding cake. Our last visit, we each went with the CF Experience. One picks one item from three columns, and its always a deal or the same price as buying individually.I went with the French Toast, the Loaded Nachos, and the Breakfast Sandwich. We finished it off with three slices of our actual wedding cake, Cookie Dough.Plant based food can be a challenge, and there are two approaches. Load it up with sugar and salt, make a few overpowering flavors, and that is that. The flip side is dynamic, and rich flavors carefully put together.Cleveland Vegan is doing the latter, while also keeping a careful eye on texture. The soft and warm French Toast, with their homemade butter is an experience one cant articulate.As youll see on the attached menu, it can be a bit pricey- but the amount of food is fair, the food is filling, and most importantly, delicious.

I have been wanting to visit this place for over a year. I follow them on Facebook and their food is just mouthwatering. Finally, today I had to go to the west side and was able to stop in. I was not disappointed!! I bought buffalo tofu and a tofu poke bowl and both were delicious. Their vegan ranch is also very tasty 😋 I was going to take a picture of both meals I purchased but my family ate the buffalo tofu before I could 😂. I would definitely recommend Cleveland Vegan to both plant and meat eaters!!

I am not a vegan or vegetarian and I enjoyed my food immensely. Everything on the menu is vegan, but there are plenty of protein options.We had the experience, which was a choice of three dishes from the menu columns available. It was a lot of food for two people, but allowed a nice sampling of the menu.The carrot cake pancakes were delicious. We could not tell they were vegan. The loaded nachos as expected, crispy and full of toppings. The Irish Benedict was a good surprise. Good flavors and textures.There are plenty of bakery items available, as well as coffee drinks. The service was good as well, attentive yet not too attentive.Come earlier in the day if you want brunch without a wait.Edit:Cleveland Vegan also made the cake for our wedding in October 2021. The cake was delicious and the Baker was very helpful with design and communication. Everyone loved the cake at the wedding.

Food was delicious and the staff was nice. Tons of options. The whole menu is vegan! Duh. They have an option to get 3 items at a discount so I took advantage of that. Buffalo cauliflower could of been a little more spicy in my opinion. Tofu tacos were good. The gyro was the highlight. Been missing tzatziki sauce on my gyros so that was awesome. I will definitely come back if I venture to Cleveland in the future.

Dope! Got exactly what I wanted without having to sift through the menu looking for the veggie option haha. Gotta come here more often and try the baked goods and gluten free options. Just an all around pleasant vibe from the decor to the staff, very inviting. Ill be back with a friend or two...and it may be a regular stop after my morning workout!!

Very good food. Tasty meals. Polite hosts. Wonderful scenery.

Every bit of food from here was absolutely amazing! If was so good we have no pictures. We got the Buffalo cauliflower dip, bhanmi, crispy chicken sandwich and gyro. Absolutely delicious. I wish we had one where I lived.

Absolutely amazing food! I come here all the time and I am never disappointed. Great westside spot for vegan food.

It was a bit busy when we arrived but so worth the wait. Food was amazing and portions were big and filling. Menu is very creative with many different options and should make even the pickiest eater happy :)

I ordered some cupcakes for a party and everyone was raving about them! The special request coffee cake cupcake was AMAZING. CV, youve got us hooked!Am a frequenter of their pastry case. Everything is top notch, with gf options to boot

I’m not vegan, but I love this place! So far, one of our favorites is the chickpea parmesan sandwich. Great atmosphere as well. Expect to pay a little more for the food than usual.

Amazing, all-vegan restaurant cafe in Lakewood/Cleveland. Psyched places like this exist. Comfort and healthier options, kid-friendly, BYOB, eat-in and take out, catering, bakery and pastry case of goods... what more could you want?!

Epic is the only way to describe their food. 😍

Best vegan restaurant ever. Loved biscuits and gravy, potato pancakes & mac and cheese bake. The ranch is amazing. (Attached are a collective of meals Ive enjoyed here since June 2018).

Fried Chicken Sandwich is incredible and the staff is always amazing.

THE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES AND THE MAC N CHEESE ARE hands down the BEST vegan foods I’ve eaten. And I’ve been vegan for 16 years. This place is great and I will be ordering often. It makes me wish I lived on the west side 😂

Best vegan food Ive had in a while! Loved it! Definitely coming back 👍

Some of the best vegan food Ive ever had. Really tasty dishes with a relaxing atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and helpful with the menu.

Cleveland vegan is my favorite place to eat. They have so many options for people with diet restrictions and the food is amazing! All of the staff is incredibly nice and accommodating as well. Highly recommend stopping here even if you are not vegan!

Very friendly & prompt service, the fruit bowl, for example, is fresh & absolutely delicious 😳😎👍

My families new favorite place to get amazing vegan meals

This restaurant has a nice variety of dishes ranging from burritos, gyros, breakfast, dips, baked goods, etc. In tried a variety of dishes and was pleased with the flavor of each dish.There seems to be much care taken in the food and overall appearance of the restaurant. It is well decorated. And the staff is friendly.Overall, a really great place to eat.

The best overall vegan restaurant Ive ever been to. The food is creative, interesting, and delicious. I highly recommend, even if you are not vegan. The chickpea piccatta is a must try. A+

Took the wife there today who has been a vegan since the age of 13 who is now in her thirties. In her words This may be my favorite restaurant of all time. Enough said.

Amazing cabbage+noodles and Reubens. All of their food is top notch. In addition to their regular menu they have a fridge with many different meal options like red beans+ rice, or vegan lasagna, etc. Always pleasantly surprised with the new things I try here even though Im vegetarian.

Best chicken bacon ranch salad of my life.

By far, the BEST vegan food I have ever had!!! There hasnt been a meal, drink, or snack that I havent loved. The cookies are incredible too! Highly Highly recommend :)

🥰Great service and delicious dishes from tacos to noodle bowls! Thanks Cleveland Vegan for making our trip special!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️

I looooove this place! The buffalo cauliflower tacos are my FAVORITE! The cheese steak is amazing too! EVERYTHING they have is FANTASTIC! Even my kids love the Mac and cheese!

Spoke with the manager about a meal that was not pleasant or cooked properly. No taste or flavor. Manager told us she would take half off. We asked to pay for a different meal and she stated the original meal would be half off. Very unpleasant experience.

Mixed berry & lemon raw vegan cheesecake. Buffalo mac & cheese. Tofu, buffalo wings & ranch dressing.

Absolutely one of my all-time vegan places to eat. Whenever Im out in Cleveland, I HAVE TO stop for a bite here and I am never disappointed! Food is top notch and the staff is always very friendly and accommodating!! Gluten free chocolate chip cookies are soooo amazing 🤤

Dear Cleveland,Please accept this as my long winded apology. At approximately 7pm on the 18th of August 2021 I found myself an hour west of Cleveland on I90. Hungered from my travels I suggested to my friend that we stop in Cleveland for food. It would double as a chance as a self-esteem booster, because it’s Cleveland.We inquired the restaurant about bringing dog. They stated that dogs were allowed, but also they were not informed that these dogs may be in fact the spawns of satan.When we are arrived we were greeted by some of the nicest and coolest people I have ever met. All while our little lucifers barked with the might of a dog that isn’t the size of a football Baker Mayfield tosses to OBJ.Our waiter was the definition of confidence and their impeccable service skill directed my friend (who just happens to have every good allergy known to man) to something she enjoyed.Not only was the staff amazing, apparently everyone who eats there is a gem of a human. People where so nice and understanding as the little ankle biter dogs barked out like Mussolini. If this fine establishment is anything like the rest of Cleveland not only will I stop here again, but I might be spending more time in your fine city.

A M A Z I N G. Prices, food and Customer service was great.

The Food is Amazing I’ve eaten about everything on the menu. However the small condiment container are terrible I do hope Cleveland Vegan get new ones. Myself & Husband containers of sour cream and ranch spilled all over us. This has happened multiple times with ourselves & friends. We love Cleveland Vegan Food but the condiment container are not good they do not seal properly. I do hope you get a new kind of container....containers that seal very well or put rubber bands around them. PLEASE FREELY GIVE NAPKINS & SILVERWARE to your customer ...we should not have to ask for napkins. Other then those things the food is great!

Great little spot. Even if you arent vegan you have to check it out. The flavor is unbelievable. Come catch this seasons menu to try the bagel and lox!

Holy Effing S!!! I had no idea vegan could taste this good! Amazing food, cool but slightly confusing environment (for a first timer), mostly friendly service... I could give up meat in a beat if this place were in my town.

Fantastic... Love this place. You will not be disappointed

Fantastic. This is the kind of place you walk into and somehow end up ordering way too much food because everything looks delicious.Food: The bakery case is always filled with a variety of tasty treats, including rotating and seasonal items. They have to-go items ready to grab if youre in a hurry (wraps, soups, etc.). The menu has some great classics and rotates in new items, food and beverages both.Atmosphere: They recently expanded the space so there are plenty more tables to sit at. Free wifi means you can hang out and work from there (I take advantage of this!). Fresh flowers on each table give it a fresh and cozy feel.Service: Always friendly :)

Expensive, but quality ingredients cost money and these owners care so much about the product they put on their tables you can tell how much goes into every meal. Fantastic owners also Justin and Laura spared no expense, highly reccomended Vegan or not.

Visited from Chicago for Thanksgiving and we were pleased to eat at a welcoming and tasty Vegan restaurant. Quality coffee, smoothies, breakfast, and entrés are served. I had the gyro, stack of pancakes, smoothie and coffee. Lastly our server was attentive, offered suggestions, and just so very nice. Definitely will be back again!! 🌱💪🏼🤘🏼🌎

The smoothies were amazing. The food was above average and the customer service was wonderful.

Cleveland Vegan is consistently awesome. Its so nice to be able to get vegan versions of my favorite comfort foods like biscuits and gravy. They use Rising Star coffee, which is a favorite of mine. The cafe itself is sunny and airy, which is such a wonderful experience.

We ordered the chicken sandwich, gyro, loaded nachos, cookies and cream milk shake, chocolate peanut butter milkshake and cookies and cream donuts. Amazing! Wish we had one in Atlanta

Awesome vegan food with SO many choices across course! Food was delicious

My favorite vegan restaurant ever. OMG the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake. To. Die. For.

My first time eating at a Vegan restaurant & I was totally impressed! The dishes were colorful and flavorful (annnd very filling, as well!)

So delicious! Great service also

I loved this place. I ordered the gyro and i didn’t regret it at all. It was way bigger than what i was expecting. It had flavor and satisfied me for sure. The service was great, everyone was nice and following Covid guidelines. Definitely recommend!

What a great vegan restaurant. I ordered the Ruben. I live about 2 hours away and the Ruben was still amazing. Very flavorful!

OMG! I took a shopping bag out of there. Best vegan restaurant Ive been to in my 7+ plus years of having a vegan diet, and Ive been to many of states. I had the pancakes with pumpkin cream cheese 😋. I took the buffalo wings, potato salad, macaroni salad, a walnut brownie, peanut butter cookies, and they werent regular sized either. I didnt eat everything at once.😳 I will travel the two hours to get there again. Their cooler and bakery case has so many items I had to give myself a talk before going up there to limit my items to two from each case. I get so excited when I see vegan food I tend to buy too much.🤦🏿‍♀️ Why dont they allow you to post a picture with your review?

We LOVED everything we ordered and the people, even though some seemed flustered due to the dinner rush. Great food. Great atmosphere. Will return.

Great place! Gyro meal is delicious, the apple cinnamon cake, the cinnamon roll and all of the cupcakes are super delicious. I have not had anything that I didnt like. Will definitely be coming back to this place. It is amazing!

Amazing, creative vegan fare. The CV Slammer and biscuits & gravy are crazy good. Going back asap.

It was great i never been to a vegan restaurant before and it was very good i would highly recommend it...prices was affordable also 👌

Amazing food. My recommendation: When I come back to this place with my girlfriend, we will be sharing one small stack of the pumpkin pancakes (freaking amazing) and another more savory entree.I was surprised at how big the dishes were.

I was so heartbroken when Flaming Ice Cube in downtown Cleveland closed but Cleveland Vegan has filled the hole they left in my heart (and stomach). Their food selection has such a delicious and unique variety of flavors. I love how creative they are with their menu and I’m always excited to see what they’re serving up next (my personal favorite is the Kimchi Bliss Bowl).

Went to Cleveland Vegan Catering & Cafe last night. The staff was great. It was disappointing that they were out of GF pizza crust for their pizza night but they said next month they will be ready. I have to say their lentil sausage was yummy but you must like spice. Thanks for a great evening.

So every time we come here it gets better! And why I dont come here more often is beside me?! The GYRO was amazing! Tasted like the real thing and the loaded chipotle potato skins were crazy good! The chicken soup was fantastic and the loaded grilled cheese really well done! Nice job making veggies taste like....meat! :) Great job!

My boyfriend and I visit Cleveland from NYC regularly and Cleveland vegan is our favorite restaurant. It makes amazing food whether or not you’re vegan, without relying too heavily on the deep fryer.

We frequently travel from the east side of Cleveland to go here. It’s one of my favorites! We also did a catering order from them. It was the simplest catering I have ever ordered! No extra hidden costs/fees. I chose to pick up my order, and it was ready to go without issue when I arrived. I highly recommend them!

My Wife and I go to Cleveland Vegan all the time. Its our favorite Vegan restaurant... Food is always on point and stuff is usually very friendly... However today (Mothers day) We decided to take my mom to lunch only to arrive (after driving over a half hr) and find out it was for reservations only, I had asked why it was not posted on the website, He said it should have been, That they have been advertising it in the restaurant for weeks, But how would someone not from the area know that. I did look on website again but it was not posted. So frustrating, We were just going to do take take out, But was then told it was a 40 minute wait for take out... We left and ended up getting Ohio Pie. Very frustrating and disappointing.

My wife and I stopped at Cleveland Vegan and were delighted. True to the businesss name, everything on the menu is 100% Vegan. Some of the items are also Gluten Free. In addition to carry out, Dine-in customers can pick from either indoor or outdoor seating. All seating is fully compliant with Ohio Precautions.The Cleveland Vegan has excellent full service. 😊. Each of the smoothie choices has several ingredients and are completely sweetener free. 17112 Detroit Avenue. Lakewood.

This restaurant has a cozy ambiance with a hospitable and friendly staff. They offer a wide variety of food with a different lunch and dinner menu. In addition to the hot food they also sell cold and ready to eat sandwiches, salads, and juices. Lastly, their bakery menu offers wide variety of desserts from cakes to cookies to muffins to bars and so on.We ordered cauliflower dip and chickpea piccata for our dinner. The dip comes with pieces of bread that is soft, brushed over with garlic butter, and tastes yum in itself and with the dip. The chickpea piccata comes with two chickpea cutlets that are crispy on the outside and soft inside. The overall dish tasted great and filling.We also ordered blueberry roll and chocolate cupcake for dessert. The cupcake was a bit too cold making it hard to cut. But taste wise it was great without being too sweet for my liking. The blueberry roll was the one that I liked the most of the two. The roll was coated with blueberry sauce along with actual blueberries on the inside. Again the sweetness was adequate and not too high.Cannot end this review without mentioning their fresh and organic orange juice and their delicious coffee that I drank without adding any creamer, which is rare as I generally find coffee to be a bit too bitter to my taste.

The gyro was perfect💚

Some of the best vegan food and friendliest staff ever! The mushroom toast and the vegan bacon are to die for - the bacon is the best vegan version I’ve ever had!

Good customer service and food.

One of my all time favs 😃😃 it was St Patricks day weekend, so tried the amazing vegan Reubans!!! Everything on the menu is delicious and I have to sneak out with at least a few of their awesome baked goods! A must try in Cleveland!

We went for dinner last night, it was our first time. I got the Tuscan bean dip wasnt to impressed was bland. Then I got the crunchy tofu tacos and the chickpea parmesan sandwich. They were absolutely amazing!! I loved it so much I will most definitely be back. I will say they should do bottled water instead of tap and the wait was longer than expected to get our food, but all in all a great place to get some great food.
