Strawberry donut and lemon shandy
Nori G.

The people working here are very nice! Great service and they have local beer on tap. The interior was a little sticky and the donuts are room temperature and a bit dense. It is really fun her to watch games with friends. Street parking available.

Donuts from here never disappoint! I've gone a few times now and the quality is always consistent. Their donuts are soft and fluffy. It's exactly how I want the base of my donut to be - it would taste amazing plain. And their vegan donuts are so good! The coffee is nice too - which is something I can appreciate. I also love how their donut menu is always changing. They might put a lot of focus on the aesthetics of the donuts - but it doesn't interfere with the quality. And I love that they don't overload the toppings on the donuts. The atmosphere of the place is great. It's a nice place to sit down in and enjoy your coffee & donut. And the staff has always been pleasant and helpful. My only nitpicky downside is that the donuts are soooo big! Not a huge problem, but I do wish they had some that are normal sized. All in all, I've never been disappointed by this place. Overall rating: 4.9/5 stars

Nice variety of donuts, some classics and some unique choices. Service was fast and efficient. Nice selection of drinks: alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Cute decor, beachy theme (with very liberal signage). Definitely worth a trip if in the area. First time I ever had a beer and donut.

Brewnuts is truly an essential Cleveland business. They have the best donuts around and also have strong ethics and stand for what is right. I love being an Instagram follower, and also all of their theme days. We got the dozen donuts for the Taylor Swift documentary release, and they were ALL delish. Will definitely be returning ASAP. All the employees are so friendly and I love the vibe of the restaurant.

I was extremely excited by the prospect of old fashioned large round donuts (not old fashioned sourdough but old fashioned size) being sold out of a bar near where we were shopping in Ohio City during the Christmas rush that we ran over to get them. Refreshing flavors, a fun atmosphere, and attentive hosts made me sure that the donuts would be spectacular. But...this was a miss for us. The original glaze was good but not great. The flavors were a huge miss and the sugar components for the flavor were not complex. While the donuts were largely flouted as vegan the chemicals used in the sugaring process were very present and the entire batch screamed almond paste as a binder. The size and donut composition were fantastic, but trying to emulate the hostess xmas tree flavor, the mint donut or the three or four other flavors that we tried just fell flat. We'll try again to try and salvage a better review.

I LOVE Brew Nuts. The donuts are never short of amazing and the staff is always friendly and efficient. The location is clean, welcoming, and easy to get to. The owners seem to stay involved in the community and do a lot of event nights. Highly recommend!

Quick coffee/ donut spot that also serves beer. The donuts had unique flavor offerings and the shop was very welcoming. This spot is an awesome place to hangout.

I was excited to try this place but was very disappointed not only with the food but also the service. The Donuts were pretty dry and lacked flavor. The service we received really turned us off. The interaction the group before and after us was completely different than ours & I hate to say it but we felt like it was race related. The person was very short and impatient with us & wanted nothing to do with us . Whereas the group before and after he was thrilled and enthusiastic to help . I will say the aesthetic of the restaurant is nice .

Maple Bacon Donut
Briana N.

I was craving donuts so badly this evening and was so happy to find Brewnuts still open as most donut places other than Dunkin and Krispy Kreme were all closed. There's free street parking which made it super easy to quickly get in and grab some to go. But the atmosphere inside is really nice, maybe I would stay next time. I can see this being a really nice place to catch up with friends or play some games as they also serve drinks here (cafe and alcoholic). The donuts are huge and have a good chew to them. I like how they have some classic flavors but then also some less traditional ones. We tried the maple bacon donut. And it was good but I wish it leaned more into the savory. It was still mostly very sweet. The maple flavor was strong, and the only bacon flavor was from the actual bacon on top which didn't taste like much because there also wasn't that much bacon.

Super friendly staff! The donuts rotate seasonally. It was my first time actually walking inside and it's very cute. A bunch of inclusive decor and a full bar inside.

Entrance, tables and chairs, merchandise, leg lamp.

Donuts were good, coffee was amazing! I ordered the Pumpkin pie latte. Nice ambiance, friendly service. Books to read, merchandise to buy, iTunes style jukebox. Christmas story leg lamp. Alcoholic options.

Amaretto vegan donut ft the prettiest girl in the world
Anderson R.

Early morning coffee and donuts is sometimes a tough sell when your best friend has a dairy allergy, but thankfully Brewnuts has VEGAN DONUTS! Not just like 1 subpar vegan option for people who oops'd into the place, but a nice selection of vegan offerings that rival and sometimes surpass the normal ones! The menu changes weekly, so there's always a good reason to stop in and grab some for the office, family get together or even just a single sweet treat for yourself. Stepping into the door you are transported to a salty seaside hideaway, full of funky semi-nautical decor. Fun colors, but used in tasteful ways and an eye for detail. A perfectly quirky environment for such inventive and exciting donuts to call home! The service is always quick, even going above and beyond to ensure everyone gets what they are there for! Warning: this is not the place to stop the first day of your diet! We got half a dozen, 4 vegan, 2 standard. I'm a grown man and could only finish one (after taking a little taste of each vegan offering). My favorite was the (not vegan lol) garlic Parmesan twist. I'm a sucker for savory pastry and this one delivered! Slightly sweet dough with soft garlic butter and coated with Parmesan cheese. Needless to say, my dairy free partner did not get the chance to try this one, but it did make her jealous! 10/10!

All the vibes!

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit! The donuts were delicious and the drink selection was cozy and unique. A great place to chill and hang with your friends or family! The servers were so friendly!

So, I quickly messaged a good friend on December 30th (afternoon) and we planned to arrive for dinner. DINNER - The style is TAPAS so the food is small plates. Dinner was delicious. My friend and I ordered several dishes to share including sides (mushrooms, broccolini, and eggplant), rice, and 2 meats (sirloin steak and chicken skewers). The flavour was rich enough but not too strong. Pricing is slightly high but the quality is great. It's sad that the investor decided to close down this Japanese restaurant so early. They only opened in July 2025 so after 6 months they are closing. It takes time for a restaurant to see growth in customer base and money. Perhaps they didn't advertise well enough but whatever the case, I'm glad I got to try their food. Customer service was amazing. My friend and I were greeted when we arrived and were checked on throughout the night. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 60/365 total reviews in 2025 - 841 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 December 2025

We tried 6 dishes and 2 sashimi dishes and it was a perfect amount of food for 3 people. The food came out extraordinary fast too I was shocked. They were busy but efficient, I was quite impressed. The must haves are the chicken rice bowl, the yellowtail, and the beef cheek. I love the wide variety of food options for vegetarians and meat lovers. I will say, the food still needs some fine tuning. The flash fried octopus had a weird texture and the sauce was way too overpowering. The squash was good but didn't have anything that made it stand out than anything I could've made at home. Excited to come back to keep trying out more flavors!

It's on a bike path, and in a quiet neighborhood with historic homes and plenty of parking. The brewery is some kind of old industrial building, which is even more noticeable inside. All modern and redone, each floor has some special draw, with a typical brewery bar and seating on the first floor and in what used to be a loading dock, games and and another bar on the second floor, and amazing rooftop seating area on the roof. We opted for the latter, and got lucky with a table to enjoy your glowingly beautiful beers accompanied by the sunset. On our visit, it was bingo night and clearly a SUPER popular place to be. The lines were long, servers rushing around, but still the bartenders were friendly and happy to serve in a calm manner. Their beers are excellent quality as well, and reasonably priced. Restrooms are in the basement. The only negative is accessibility for people and even strollers, so you may want to check on that before coming. This was definitely a highlight of the day, and I look forward to returning.

I wish the dips and the pickled veggies that came with the pretzel were a little bigger each, and the pizza was just very rich since it had the pimento cheese on it, but everything was very very tasty. Service was fast and easy and it was a fun vibe in there.

Whistle is the perfect place to escape the chaos, kick back, grab some great food and drinks, and actually enjoy yourself before joining the crowd. The service was outstanding! Friendly, fast, and it genuinely felt like the staff wanted everyone to have a great game-day experience. Whether you're headed to a Guardians game, a Cavaliers game, or just looking for a fun place to watch sports, this place delivers. Plenty of big-screen TVs, a great atmosphere, and an easy walk to the stadium. It's the kind of place where you can meet up with friends, cheer on your favorite team, and start the fun before you even get to your seat. Whistle has officially earned a spot on my pregame tradition. I'll definitely be back!

Which I will get into. Pros: The staff was great. Friendly, got our food to us quick and explained the tap system for the beer for my friend in detail. The tap system itself is also a marvel for soemone who has not seen anything like it in their home town. Its quite fascinating and fun. The sandwiches there while not having a large variety, were still made to perfection and tasted amazing. Cons: the price for the drinks. You pay by the Oz for each drink. And while thats understandable, the prices per Oz were quite high. Some over .75 to almost $1 an ounce. Even michelob ultra was .25 per Oz. Meaning if you filled a regular 16oz cup, you'd still be paying over $4 after tax for a domestic beer. Even though the sandwiches were only $15 a piece on the menu, our bill was still over $80 because we wanted to try local brewery stuff and even though we basically only had 2 drinks a piece, they were over double the cost of the sandwiches, and that really grates on me. Im sure the cost is built in due to this system they have for the taps, but as someone who constantly has to weigh cost vs experience, I cant really recommend going to this place more than once. Its a fun novelty, but it will quickly punch you in the gut if you fill your glass each time.
