Turkey and Cheese Bagel
Tim B.

Very mediocre food. My turkey bagel had plenty of turkey which was nice but I feel like it should have lettuce, tomato, or something else fresh. Someone who got the avocado toast said the avocado had barely any taste. Definitely not worth it. The staff was very nice though, no issues there. The place had a strange decor. They had a thin blue line on the door and calling them Jesus freaks would be an understatement.

This place is everything a family-run business should be. It's small, the owner is involved, the employees look happy, and they clearly have regular customers whose names they know. And I observed all this during just one random visit on my way to Alpine. Cleveland Cafe was a breath of fresh air in an unfamiliar place. My husband and I were just looking for something quick on our way to Alpine, and this was just what we wanted. We ordered from the counter and our food was ready in like 10-15 minutes. They have a pretty extensive collection of drinks. I'm kind of sorry I didn't try one. But the sandwiches we ordered were really tasty. I had the turkey panini. You can choose your cheese and a sauce for the side. I had provolone and the pesto sauce which is kind of a creamy mayo or ranch style sauce with pesto mixed in. It also comes with a pickle and chips. Really enjoyed that sandwich. Yum! We sat for a bit and ate while Puss in Boots was playing on the TV. Just a cute, cozy experience overall. I left full and happy.

Yes please! Coconut flavored mocha for me... With almond milk and extra whip cream. What I like the most about this place was the cheery cafe vinevibe when I walked in. And the lady behind the counter greeted me with smiles and asked if it was my first time, as I perused their vast menu of specialty coffee drinks and crepes etc. It was a great pitstop before my daughters softball game and I will be back whenever I'm in the area!

So adorable! We walked in and were immediately welcomed by a lovely young lady, Mandy. She was friendly and knowledgeable...made suggestions. The paninis and crepes are wonderful and delicious and organic! Pleasant environment.

5 stars doesn't even begin to cut it! Cleveland Cafe in Alpine is truly a gem, and under Shawn's new ownership, it's blossomed into the kind of place you want to be every day. The staff is always so kind, cheerful, and genuinely welcoming -- it feels like a little burst of sunshine every time I walk in. The drinks? Absolute heaven in a cup. Shawn has brought such a fresh, charming vibe to the space, with thoughtful touches that make it feel more community-focused and delightfully hip. My favorite new feature is the Coffee Special of the Week -- it's like a mini adventure with every visit! And don't even get me started on the pistachio crepe... it's out of this world. Thank you, Shawn and the amazing team at Cleveland Cafe -- it's honestly dangerous how close I live to you all!

I've been a regular here since moving to Alpine. I absolutely love the people here and the their amazing coffee. It's always super consistent and the employees here are always in a good vibe. Note: There is ample parking on north side of the building across from Ayres Lodge.

So glad I got to be there for their final day on Monday, August 31, 2026. I haven't known the…read moreowners for very long, but after all the times I had the chance to enjoy their amazing pastries, sandwiches, and sourdough bread, I was more than impressed, and definitely well fed! Also complained when I drove 45 minutes uphill both ways to have nothing left to buy. LOL We also shared plenty of good laughs, especially when I told them I was allergic to water, salt, and oxygen. Somehow, they still managed to find something I could eat. I was lucky enough to buy their very last loaf of sourdough bread, and yes... it is now safely tucked away in my freezer. I'm trying to savor it one slice at a time and make it last as long as possible! It's sad to see such a special place close. I truly hope whomever takes over the business is able to carry on the wonderful tradition, quality, and warmth that made this place so memorable. Wishing the owners nothing but the best in whatever comes next. Thank you for the great food, the laughs, and the awesome memories.

We have been here 2 times, and will never be back…read more Beware of the Owner who will likely also be your server. Here is why: On our first visit, the prices for drinks were high to begin with, but when we asked for an iced latte upgraded to half and half (Breve), we were told it would be extra. Shame on us for not asking how much. A 24 ounce latte with regular milk was $6.95. The upgrade to Breve was an extra $4.00!!! For a grand total of $11.80 with a flavor shot!!! And the drink was of very average quality. More recently we got a scone that was EXTREMELY DRY. When it was brought back, the owner first said "You realize this is a scone, right? As a 30 year baker, that was insulting. Then she squeezed it and said she wanted us to try "the middle". Again, insulting. When I politely declined and said I'd like to get something else, she was very hesitant, and said she was afraid we would be unhappy with another selection, and preferred to give a refund. Insulting a third time. We think the owner might consider a more customer-centric approach, but that's just us.

Ordered a delicious , iced cinnamon miel latte and a vegan wrap for lunch. You walk up and order then can seat yourself on their lovely patio which has umbrella-ed tables and lots of plants. When your order is ready, they call you and your order will be sitting on the ledge of a Dutch door. My wrap was just fine, a little chintzy on the alfalfa sprouts but then we are in the middle of a recall of them. But the vinaigrette that was served with it for dipping was amazing, some kind of cilantro or sweet green goddess type of concoction. Yawl should bottle that stuff. The order taker/cashier dude was new and was getting the hang of the menu and wasn't able to answer my question about what was in a Hammerhead Latte, but his answer of extra espresso shots made sense. Definitely worth a stop in before the long stretches of nothingness.

I'm not sure what's going on with this place but it used to be a great place to shop. Now when we…read morego they're constantly out of items. For example, they haven't had cottage cheese for weeks. We called and asked why on the phone and they say it's because of manufacturing issues but Albertsons, down the street has tons of it; so much so they have it on sale, so I don't think that's what's going on. Their dairy section always seems hit or miss- and it's been a miss a lot lately. Something is wrong with their ordering. There is no consistency. Another issue is with their rotisserie chickens. Most of the time they are all burnt. We've asked multiple people in the front of the store at checkout and honestly, most of them don't even know they sell chickens. It's really odd how people working in such a small store have no idea what's going on in the back of the store. And obviously no one working there seems to notice nor care that the chickens are all burnt. I don't understand how no one working there says anything. I mean, it looks a bit strange to be selling burnt chicken, no? In addition there is no consistency in the sizes of their rotisserie chicken. They used to be like 3- 3.5 lbs each. Now they're often 2 lbs and under and they're the same price. If there's going to be such a discrepancy in weight, they should be sold by the pound. Getting back to ordering, I'm not 100% sure but it seems like one of their freezers malfunctioned because they had it empty for a few days. Then all of a sudden all the ice cream that they put back in the freezer looked like it had previously melted and instead of throwing the sticky melted messy ice cream out, they just put it back for sale. I was going to buy some but I could tell that the cartons didn't look right. That is not okay. It should be counted as waste and restocked with fresh product. I don't think Tillamook would appreciate them selling their product that's obviously not up to standards. Regarding their soup bar, I have noticed in the evening, before even the local jui jitsu gym lets out next door, they are often out of multiple soups. I'm talking at like 530pm. The hot bar is often similar. Why is this not being restocked for dinner? Lastly, I just want to reiterate that although the cashiers are usually very friendly, they really should know what's going on in the back of the store. I mean, when we ask them about the soups, they should at least know that soup is sold there. They should know if they cook the chickens in- house and/ or who to speak to regarding the fresh food. They act like they've never seen the back of the store. So I suggest maybe giving them a tour when they're hired and telling them some things so that when they're the only ones customers have the opportunity to speak to, they have some knowledge of what's being sold. It was almost humourous when we asked why the chickens were always burnt and they were like, oh we sell chickens? Seriously. That's bad training. You can do better and I really want you to. I do appreciate there being a smaller grocery store here and their produce section is great. It just seems like some things are slipping a bit.
