Awesome food and service! - Edit
We were on a road rip with our toddlers from PA to MI and we found this place on the way. They were so kind and the food was amazing. The hash browns were so good and the peach cobbler pancakes were awesome. The had sides of pancakes which were perfect for the kids. They even allowed us to eat outside with our dog and brought him some water! Def will come back if I’m ever in Cleveland again.

Don’t expect a cheap meal or a superfood gluten free paradise here — it’s a great option for people exploring veganism or just starting out who are looking for tasty vegan versions of their favorite comfort foods. Definitely recommend the artichoke spinach dip and the gyro! They also had a bbq seitan waffle cone with coleslaw and macaroni during Cleveland VegFest, not sure if that’s ever been on their main menu but it was delicious.

100% vegan menu - Edit
Diners will enjoy an extensive, 100% vegan menu with choices for breakfast and lunch. Also a grab-and-go cooler for wraps and bowls, and fresh baked goods are at the counter. Wait service is slow and uneven: you have to wait for initial help as servers also work the counter, and then there is little follow-up service. Also on one visit, item ordered was missing once served. Entree portions tend to be small; if you come hungry, best to order sides.
Read morePros: Delicious food, 100% vegan menu , Extensive choices
Cons: Wait service poor, Small portions , No off-street parking

Your spot - Edit
This place is good and your stop if in the area. They could work on the GF options. Their hot chocolate could use more flavor (not sugar, just chocolate flavor). Will come back for sure.

😋 - Edit
I came to Cleveland vegan recently for my birthday, which also happened to be my first time there. I have heard great things, but wanted to try it out myself. After looking over the menu I decided on the gyro and a bagel with garlic herb spread. Once everything came out I regretted getting the bagel. The portion sizes were HUGE as well as super tasty. The bill was higher than anticipated, but then again I had food for two days. I will definitely be going back!

Vegan oasis - Edit
Cleveland Vegan... has my entire heart. I’ve tried most of the menu by now and keep finding new faves. The menu changes seasonally. Try the crispy tofu tacos!! The space itself is bright and cheerful and so friendly. Going to Cleveland Vegan feels like hanging out with a whole vegan community.

Choc chip pancakes 🥞🤗 - Edit
Wide variety on the menu! Breakfast is my favorite meal and I have a sweet tooth so we drove an hour to try this place while I was in OH visiting a friend. Im vegan, she’s not, and we both were not disappointed. Milkshake was alright but I tried a pasta straw for the first time and it was the coolest thing! I wish I got to visit a 3rd time during that week to try the carbonara!

Prepare to leave this restaurant satisfied, their unique dishes and delicious flavor combinations are worth every penny. Their peppercorn gravy and cheesy potatoes are also out of this world if you are looking for more of a comfort food.

Make it a CV Experience! - Edit
You can pick anything you want, OR For $22 you get 3 courses from 3 columns of options, and it did not disappoint! Please try the potatoes, they were amazing! I went between breakfast and lunch so I did the brunch thing and got both sweet and savory options. I couldn’t finish everything, especially my entree, the Thai noodle bowl, so I’m excited to actually get a 2nd meal out of this! The chai tea was also delicious, and wait staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone, and I hope to get to come back sometime!

Yummy! - Edit
When traveling, I'm always looking for a good vegan spot to eat! Hubby took me here and we decided to try a few things. Out of everything we tried, the Loaded Nachos, Classic Gyro and Bagel & Carrot Lox were our faves! It was so so nice to see options on the menu that were some of my favorites prior to becoming vegan!
Read moreRated them a 4 only because 1. I tried the chocolate chip cookie and it was a bit over cooked and not very tasty 2. chocolate cupcake was okay. We were expecting the desserts to be impressive given their options.

In Cleveland for a day visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Just west in Lakewood we found this gem for our Vegan family of four. We all ordered separate entrees and they were all great. Will come back if we make it back this way.

Love, love, LOVE this place! I’m a Cali Girl visiting an Ohio world. - Edit
I judge all vegan places on their Mac n cheese. It was great! My favorite was their Asian dumpling soup. My non vegan boyfriend ordered nachos and finished the whole plate! Which is rather large. Sweet potato hummus...WHAT?!? BOMB! Their bakery looked amazing but we were stuffed! I’m flying back this coming weekend and I’ll be back!
Read morePros: All vegan! , Great service!, We tried 5 different items ALL good!
Cons: They ran out of juice.

Lack of Omelette Care - Edit
This was my first time trying Cleveland Vegan and sadly, the food I ordered was a disappointment. The person at the counter who took my to go order was very nice. The atmosphere was lively and light filled. There isn't much privacy anywhere though and the line for the counter was adjacent to at least one of the tables floating in the middle of the space -- nothing wrong with that if you like an open feel, and don't mind people milling around near your table, but it's nice to have a choice if you'd like to eat in a quieter nook.
Read moreI ordered the vegan omelette, made from tofu (and a proprietary blend of other ingredients to create an egg-like flavor) with sauteed seasonal vegetables. The presentation was really sad. I don't believe the cook dropped the omelette on the floor, scooped it up and dumped it into the biodegradable to go container, but that's exactly what it looked like. The only way to make the presentation worse would be to stomp on the container and then give it to the customer. Apparently they don't have a to go container to accommodate an intact omelette. So why not cut it in half, lay one half on top of the other and add a nice garnish to finish it off? It just looked like they threw it across the room to one another and then the last person threw it in the air and someone held the container out to catch it. Unfortunately the flavor didn't make up for the haphazard presentation. The flavor of the sauteed vegetables was: oil. The flavor of the overcooked "egg" was: salt. And the various vegetables were not cooked to levels that bring out the gentleness of their flavors. Maybe other items on the menu are cooked and seasoned with a knowledge of how the flavors are best brought out, combined and enhanced, but the poor omelette was definitely suffering from a lack of that skill. I hate to leave a less than glowing review for a vegan restaurant, but the lack of care was just too surprising and disappointing. I hope the review will encourage those responsible to bring this deserving dish to it's full potential.

Good but.. - Edit
I used to love this place, but after I started venturing out more and trying new vegan places, it’s not as impressive. Tastes good usually, but last few times hurt my stomach.
