Cafe Blanc is GORGEOUS and boy, does it know it! I've wanted to check this place out for a while so…read moreI schleped an hour here for dinner with friends in May 2026 so I could finally try this sort of new restaurant out! Parma Heights is so far, guys. So so far... So after fangirling over the lush, girly decor and taking ALL the pictures ever, my 5 friends and I ordered at the counter a bougie drink and a plate of food each. There's abundant seating in this two story cafe so we found a table and waited between 5 and 10 minutes for it all to be ready. Despite my goal to stop spending money on beverages, I spent $8 on a regular sized iced decaf carrot cake latte with almond milk. Delicious and definitely instagrammable, but RIP to my money. I regret not taking the lovely glass it was served to me in, but my conscious kicked in and I didn't pilfer it. Haha! For dinner, I originally wanted to get a pizza but changed my mind last minute due to it being 90 degrees outside. So instead, I got an italian panini with a side of potato chips ($14). I don't like mayo so asked that be taken off. The only sauces they have are mayo, hot sauce, and horseradish mayo. I got the horseradish mayo on the side, but didn't really use it. I hope they can add mustard and ketchup to their sauce lineup in the future. All in all, I spent about $24. All 6 of us had very instagramable food and drinks. They looked better than they tasted for the most part. I liked my drink and panini but didn't love it, especially for the price. My friends lavender lemon loaf was gorgeous, but sadly dry. I love the look, like the menu, and wish Cafe Blanc wasn't so outrageously far away! I'd love to get brunch here with my gal pals! I wanna get one of their dessert crepes, please and thank you! I am giving Cafe Blanc 4.5 stars out of 5.

This place has been on my Cleveland bucket list for a few months so I dragged a bunch of my…read moregirlfriends to accompany me! I had seen pictures of their dreamy spiral staircase, the impossibly chic rope benches, the cream palette with splashes of greenery and in person it all looked even better! The style was real, not too much, not tacky, just gorgeous. Their drinks were the star in my opinion! I got something of their seasonal menu--white rose refresher with sparkling water, not Redbull, thanks. Rose syrup at the bottom, splash of coconut milk and topped with a rock candy!!! So good and refreshing. It was $7 but the size was palpable too. Their food was not my favorite though. I got a ham and cheese croissant and it was the breadiest, least flaky croissant I've ever had. Not buttery, not light and not worth the $11! Their sandwiches looked pretty thin and dry as well. I think I would try a salad next time as that looked pretty good. There was parking and the building itself was chic and pretty too. Will be coming back!

The drip coffee cup seemed to be foam. The coffee itself seemed weak. I am one of those people who prefer to drip coffee out of a mug. The coffee shop was busy and it is located in the downtown area.

It was the perfect combination, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the bowl was full of fresh fruit...I think the sprinkle of powdered sugar is a bit much but it was great nonetheless.

I've come a few times now and everything I've gotten so far has been good. My favorite drinks are probably the pistachio latte, mofawar, adeni chai. There's a promotion May 1-14 (2026) with their special (black sesame latte) where you can get 50% off of you order off their app. There wasn't an issue ordering off the app, the only thing is that if you order off the app, you don't get the restaurant pager/buzzer so you may have to check in at the register to see if they got the order, which is what I did since it was pretty busy. Ended with the black sesame latte which was aesthetically pleasing like their other drinks--though warning if you don't like the gritty texture like all black sesame drinks are, then maybe this isn't for you. Pistachio latte is still my favorite, but maybe I'll try this again with regular sweetness instead of light. Parking available and free as it's in a strip mall. Staff are nice. Really comfortable sitting space, plenty of tables with people socializing or doing work. Just be warned that it may not be the best working environment at night when more people come to socialize and also celebrate special occasions. Overall solid cafe choice for drinks/sweets/environment. Always full of people when I visit.

The menu mixes familiar drinks with unique options. I ordered a caramel macchiato. Nice presentation, strong coffee flavor, though I wish the caramel came through a little more. Menu prices seem standard overall, but I didn't realize there was a $2 upcharge from 16oz to 20oz (not listed on the menu). There is a $0.50 charge to make it iced. Overall, cool place, nice vibes, strong coffee, prices are a bit high

I needed to go get my own beverage from the cashier. Believe it or not, We bussed our own table of dirty dishes. No follow up was provided asking how our entrees were. The restaurant was not busy, so there's no excuse for the poor service. The soup had one tiny piece of chicken in its broth. The bowl was filled approximately one fourth of the way up. The crepe was bland. This lunchtime adventure was a total bust. Disappointing. Plus (The desserts in the case looked old & dried out).

I had driven out this way, so I checked out the food and drinks. I ended up getting a jalapeno cheddar scone and the monthly special orange vanilla latte to go. Since there were several cars driving around looking for a parking spot, I decided to take my items home instead of enjoying them in the car. The latte was good but the jalapeno cheddar scone was fantastic. The scone was scipy and while crumbly it was not dry. Now I know I should plan on a to-go order next time.

That said, this is a local breakfast and lunch spot and it is just like you imagine. Small, neighborly, and homemade. I can't recall the name of my breakfast but it gave you the staples -- eggs, bacon and two hot cakes. I added breakfast potatoes and had a chocolate milk. It was more food than I could handle so go hungry. The total was actually less than I anticipated for all I got (portions are far more so order less and add on if still hungry). There were regulars there when I sat down and the owner seemed to know each of them. That's the spot I like-- the hometown spot to grab good food and catch up with the locals. The hotcakes alone were enough to bring me back to Susie's! Make sure you add that to you breakfast/lunch spots before leaving the beach town. You won't regret it. The diner is smaller and had dim lighting but the smells from the bacon and griddle make your mouth water. Be patient and thoughtful but be hungry when you go!

I do not think words can fully describe how wonderful of an experience I had at Birch Cafe. This…read morebusiness is just 10 minutes from my childhood home. I did not live in Cleveland as a vegan, and being able to come home and support a local vegan business gives me so much joy. I went with my sister and husband and we each ordered a sandwich and hash brown patty. I also got the Buckeye Latte because when in Ohio you have to have a buckeye! The employee at the register was so patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I asked her many questions, and she had an answer for everything. The latte was the right level of sweetness and so smooth!! It is challenging to get quality vegan lattes and this one I would order again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the Chipotle Turkey sandwich, my husband ordered the ham and cheese bagel sandwich on a French toast bagel (employee recommended combo), and my sister got the Fiona Hammich. Birch cafe makes their turkey and ham in-house and I was so excited to try their vegan meats. Of the sandwiches I was happiest with the Chipotle Turkey sandwich. The spicy mayo on it was delicious and it had avocado too! I thought the turkey was hearty, a good texture, and flavorful. It didn't remind me of turkey but I honestly like when vegan meat is clearly plant based. My husband's bagel sandwich was a wonderful breakfast treat. The bagel choice was fun as it added a sweetness to the savory meal which is a favorite flavor combination of mine. My sister LOVED her sandwich. For me I enjoyed the flavors in my turkey sandwich more, and she was fine not sharing more than one bite with me. We purchased a large chocolate chip cookie and a turkey meal to take home. The chocolate chip cookie was one of the best I ever had. It was soft and chewy. I would definitely stock up on those cookies next time I am visiting. The turkey meal was such a fun post-Thanksgiving Day treat. My family loved the carrots the most! They were in a creamy horseradish sauce. It was so unique we all could not stop talking about the flavors. Thanks, Birch Cafe, for an amazing experience. I will certainly be back next time I am visiting family.
