    Chipotle Turkey Sandwich, Fiona Hammoch, and bagel sandwich.
    Molly K.

    I do not think words can fully describe how wonderful of an experience I had at Birch Cafe. This business 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.

    When I realized I was in the same area as the Birch Cafe I had to stop. I am not on the east side often so it was time to take advantage of being there. I am always up to try an all vegan establishment. I had heard of them through BVH. The front of the building is very unassuming. When you get inside it is a cute little cafe. They have a full coffee menu, pastries and meals. The seating area was decorated and there was a cozy sofa area to enjoy your coffee. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was worth the trip and if I am ever in the area I will make a point to stop in.

    Avocado toast w/cucumber, feta, tomato and chili oil (ordered the first visit to the cafe). Pretty tasty, should use less flimsy bread.

    Simple options, pretty good flavor and very good prices. I got a $5 off coupon in my email so I decided to comeback the following day for quick snacks before hitting the road back home. Got a coffee...not good quality or flavor, a spiced turmeric latte: very disappointing, neither spiced nor contained any hint of turmeric and temp was slightly warm (ordered hot). Chocolate chip blonde was pretty tasty.

    I happened to be in the area at blulotusbeauty upstairs from Birch and decided to stop in. The space is very warm and welcoming as were the employees. I got the St Paddy day special the Ruben and a macaroni salad. Too die for. The Ruben was absolutely delightful chefs kiss. The macaroni salad did not lack one bit in flavor. Def will be stopping in each time I'm in the area for some more vegan goodies!!!

    Bacun, Sausage, Eggz & Cheese Sandwich. Great toppings, but the bagel was hard, probably nuked too long. (Don't tell Gordon Ramsey)

    Very friendly service with good vegan food. The first thing I noticed here is how friendly the workers were. I'm not the most social person, but they started polite conversation and made me feel very welcomed. They heated up a breakfast sandwich for me when I arrived to pick up my order. I indulged my sweet tooth and took a look at their desserts as well. I had the Bacun, Sausage, Eggz & Cheese Breakfast Bagel Sandwich. I really liked all of the toppings, but I did have some feedback about the bagel. It was very hard, not burnt, but too tough to chew. I'm not sure if it was because it was nuked too long or if it was stale, but I had to toss most of it. My personal preference is for a lightly toasted breakfast bagel, crisp on the outside and chewy inside. I grabbed a cookie butter "pop tart" for the road. It was very good and a nice snack for the next leg of my road trip. Overall, I liked this place and the service. I just wanted to share feedback about the hard bagel and maybe that was just a fluke. I would come here again!

    This place is literally the bomb. Being from out of state obviously I called and asked if everything is vegan and the whole menu is!! How amazing. The food is PACKED with flavor. I don't think you can order anything bad. The BLT was my favorite and so was the avocado toast. The cupcakes are INSANE. The Buffalo chicken wrap was good but I'm not a huge fan of lettuce and there was a lot of lettuce but def packed with flavor!! I mean this place is heavenly and the staff is so nice! I recommend order ahead online so you don't wait. I thought you could walk in but they only do curbside and delivery. The staff is awesome and so is the food, worth a drive!

    This is a cute spot with ample space inside. The staff was v sweet and provided recs. They do have a decent range of coffee options. The mocha was decent

    Wonderful vegan place with full menu and plenty of snacks and other fun retail items. Lots of meat substitutes to buy from their fridges. Plenty of pastries. Open air space with plenty of seating.

    Pesto Wrap with Strawberry Palmer Tea
    Linda V.

    Love the relaxed vibe and clean energy in this cafe. Cute and comfy decor with a modern vibe and super friendly staff. Easy to understand menu and specials. I ordered the pesto wrap which was delicious! You could taste the fresh basil and you had your choice of 5-6 different flavor tortillas. Tasty and unique iced teas and drinks available. Cute little local shopportunities available in the back. Easy parking. Will definitely pick up breakfast or lunch here again. All vegan but a meat eater will love it too!

    everything avocado bagel, hash brown, guava lemonade

    the staff was very kind and my breakfast was delicious! it came out reasonably quick & the presentation was gorgeous. can't believe the cream cheese was vegan it was so yummy.

    This is the Raven and Dragon Club Sandwich!
    Myron E.

    Let me just say this sandwich was incredible! Bursting with flavor and piled high with scrumptious vegan meat! I'm not a vegan and loved this sandwich! Great service and a plethora of options on the menu! Will definitely be back!

    We weren't quite sure what to expect but were attracted to this restaurant because of the vegan…read moreoptions. It's tucked away in a shopping center and inside there is a small table to sit at and dine in - but we took our food to go. My wife ordered the vegan Philly cheesesteak with sweet potato fries and I ordered the 5 wing combo with sauces fries. While the establishment didn't seem the nicest - we were warmly greeted by the owner and she was very kind in directing us to what food to try and have us some options from the menu. The food - the presentation and portions were definitely fairs. I sampled the fries from both before grabbing a photo - whoops. Sweet potato fries with powdered sugar and caramel sauce on the side was like having dessert first. The batter on the fries was crisp and full of flavor. Almost couldn't stop after one. The sauced fries were great as well - just prepare to get "sticky fingers." Now on to the entrees. The vegan Philly cheesesteak was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were well sautéed and flavor able while delivering a little heat to keep your destructive taste buds from devouring the sandwhich too quickly. The vegan meat itself was almost indistinguishable from real meat per my wife - and I would have to agree. The wings were crisped nicely and the sticky sauce was very delicious. It did not need a dip to go with - and it was eaten all the way down to the bone. We will definitely be back to try out some other delicious foods- both vegan and non vegan. You can't go wrong either way!

    This restaurant ( NEW LOCATION)was very good . Keep in mind…read more I am NOT vegan but my wife is . So this spot give us a place to meet her food needs and for us to have a friendly compromise . I can truly say that the food doesn't taste Vegan. It is actually delicious. The service was very pleasant and inviting. Although the restaurant is on the smaller side it's quite cozy. If I would give one complaint I would say that they didn't have a large enough coffee cup. It was very tiny I would say a 4oz cup instead of a 6 or 12oz. Overall will I go back ABSOLUTELY..

    I'm torn with this one…read more Taste-wise, most of our food was good, but the presentation was, well, bad. Let's talk about the rib dinner: it's made from jackfruit and really does taste like meat. It's pretty good, but it looked like it was just slapped down on the plate...bbq sauce smeared along the sides of the plate...pretty slapdash. It came with two sides, which, if plated with the ribs, might have looked better. But the side of Mac & cheese came separately in a cup, and the side of truffle fries came in a styrofoam clamshell. The Mac was decent... not cheesy but had a good flavor. The fries were lukewarm and soggy and left a greasy pool of oil at the bottom. It was definitely small portions.... Not enough to fill my husband's stomach. He ate half of my meal...which brings me to the next dish: burrito bowl. This was quite filling, flavorful, and large-portioned. It was nicely presented, even if in a plastic bowl. They were out of a lot of things on the menu, and there was no dessert to be seen, which was disappointing because vegan desserts are hard to come by. I was hoping for more creative dishes and ingredients, but it was mainly typical restaurant fare ( hamburgers, fish, tacos , fries) but just with vegan meat swapped in for real meat. Not saying it wasn't good...just not really creative. I can see this being more of a take-out place. I don't recommend it as a destination.

    COVENTRY, Cleveland - You guys. The fries. Terrific. Wife…read moreand I were in the adjacent bookstore on a Friday evening, around 7ish. Both a little hungry. Figured we'd give Tommy's a shot, not knowing it's this long-standing institution with a devoted fan base. That fandom is deserved. Brightly lit, clean, friendly staff. We were seated immediately. Really interesting menu with a lot of vegetarian and eclectic choices. $5 basket of fries was wayyyy big and some of the best fries I've ever had - a nice crispness on the outside, while fluffy inside. Wife's spinach pie with muenster cheese ($11.85) was flaky and generous with the fillings. Loved my $3 phosphate. My DC falafel sandwich ($14) - with sesame seeds, cheese, sprouts and tomatoes - was crazy big and the falafel was perfectly cooked, with a nice crunch. Our server Kelsey was really personable. All in all, just a great dining experience and if we lived in the area, we'd be frequent fliers at Tommy's.

I still had a great time. Thanks, Kalle, who waited on us with her great personality.
