Fried tofu sandwich
Katie E.

Stopped in for a quick lunch now that their dining room is reopened. The dining room is nothing special and there was no air conditioning but plenty of fans so it was comfortable. There was only one other table of guests there and I very much felt as if I was eating at someone's house with how intimate the space was and how attentive the owner was. I ordered the fried tofu sandwich and it was so delicious as well as the slaw and pasta salad it came with. I really appreciate the fact that anything on the menu can be made vegan and plan to come back to try more.

Clean dining room, server was really nice and attentive. Vegan food was spectacular. Burger meat was sub par, but everything else on the order was great. Everything on the menu can be made vegan.

Marinated Tofu Wrap, Side of Fries
Kaitlin M.

If you're looking for a casual meal alone, or solid to-go food, or a place to gather with friends with something for everyone--this is it! Earth Bistro Cafe was my choice for a solo meal on a Saturday afternoon. The marinated tofu wrap was so well-made, really going the distance by lightly grilling the wrap to keep it closed and give it that delicious toasty taste. The fries (a little extra cost FYI) were hot out of the fryer and awesome, and the side slaw is not to be overlooked--not weighed down by heaps of cream, but light and herby with tons of dill. When I came in around 2 p.m., there was one other table of 6, and by the time I left, almost every table was taken and several to go orders had been retrieved. I liked my vegan option, but clearly the non vegan options were a hit, too. Check it out!

Came upon this place on a whim and when I say it was the most refreshing food I've had in a long time--I mean it. The flavors in the pasta salad, Cole slaw, the rosemary fries...I've never had such delicious side dishes. VERY vegan friendly and adjustable for any dish. Our waiter was incredibly personable, had some good banter between him and I. Everyone in our group loved our food and knew it was made with love from a family owned business. I'm already planning the next time to come back. :)

Fried Tofu Sandwich

What a gem! The food was incredible and the owner is hilariously sassy and fun. Left there stuffed and without breaking the bank. The sleeper was the slaw and pasta salad that come with the sandwich. Incredible! Highly recommend checking this place out.

Nothing on the menu really stands out. All very typical plain American fare. Guy taking orders was less than friendly. Just short in attitude and seemed mad about something. Hesitant to describe the raw cashew cheesecake to me. I got a piece of raw berry cashew cheesecake and an Impossible burger. He slathered Hershey's chocolate syrup and strawberry slices al over the raw berry cashew cheesecake...why?!? I had to wipe off the nasty processed syrup chocolate from the delicious $8 frozen berry purée and nutty soft raw cheesecake. It was actually very good once the sauce was wiped off. I also ordered a piece of the chocolate peanut butter cake but he gave me an Oreo chocolate cake and slathered that in sauce too- I didn't notice until I got home so it was too late but he clearly wasn't paying attention. The Impossible burger was well done and came with onion, wonderfully fresh greens, and juicy tomato. The bun was toasted yet hard/stale. The fries were flaccid and greasy (oddly enough I prefer soft greasy fries so this is okay) with great salt and black pepper seasoning. Unexpectedly good fries. Skip the food and order cake here.

Food is always fye! Best vegan food in the city. Neighborhood is lowkey sketch but the food is worth it.

Plant Based Wings great food great service
Francisco R.

Great food. Great service. Very accommodating. Loyal customer since opening day and would and have recommended to my Mom.

Guacamole with chard pineapple excellent, I recommend it.

Everything! Everything was above average. Except the cheese cake. I love a good vegan cashew cheese cake this one the cashews were not soaked and it was graining. Perhaps it was a bad batch. It was frozen. We did not eat it. But everything else was great. I will go back. I gave it five stars even though it's not a very comfortable place and kind of small the food makes it worth it.

Veggie tacos!
Dawn C.

Believe the reviews! The food was crazy delicious, pricing was fair, serving size was the largest I have ever had in a Vegan/Vegetarian eatery and the service was great! We went out of the way to dine here after flying into Cleveland. We were not expecting much and frankly almost changed our minds due to the drive and a few run down looking place on our way there. So very glad we did go, definitely worth the trip

Grilled Chicken Burrito

Great location, cozy atmosphere, great service. Louís was great in suggesting his favorites on the menu. We got the chicken burrito and pesto wrap. We also got one of their smoothies, which had chocolate, banana and coffee. One of the best drinks I've ever had! They have vegetarian and vegan options! I'll be back to try their Cubano! 5 stars!

Chicken and Basil Pesto Wrap and Espresso smoothie

I got the chicken pesto wrap and it was very healthy and filling because the portions are huge. The service was also welcoming and friendly, he recommended me the espresso smoothie and its delicious.

Black bean burger with pasta salad and slaw sides
Tada Y.

For a non-vegan/vegetarian person, I was a bit concerned about what this place would end up being. I have to say I was pleasantly pleased with Earth Bistro Cafe. Walking in from not the most commercial street in the world, I wasn't sure what to expect. The dining room is a reasonably comfortable, medium-sized space with some basic decor, but nothing particularly noteworthy. We were quickly greeted by a friendly server who presented us with menus and described the menu. We quickly ordered a starter of the potato and onion pierogies and I got the black bean burger that came with a side of pasta and slaw. The pierogies were actually quite delightful with essentially a mashed potato inside and dressed with sauteed onions and a side of vegan sour cream. They were much more flavorful than I expected and the pierogi skin had a good chew to them. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was just mediocre. The slaw was not extremely flavorful or exceptionally dressed. The pasta salad was fine, but nothing special... and I hate to say it because I really wanted to find a great black bean burger here, but it wasn't the best black bean burger I've had and left me wanting. I do believe everything was extremely fresh - all the veggies were still crisp and had a good chew to them, but I just felt that the combination wasn't the best. My three star ratings I generally give to restaurants that I think are good, but just not something I would recommend to a friend visiting out of town. I may come back to Eath Bistro Cafe when I am on a health kick and on my occasional meat-free days and I think their staff is fantastic. Bottom line, Eath Bistro Cafe is a great place to visit for a place you're going with someone who appreciates vegetarian or vegan food that will leave you happy as well with good service and some reasonable food options. However, it wouldn't be my first choice of restaurant.

The Fruit Stand - View from the upstairs

I am in my acai bowl phase of my life at the moment. But it is an expensive treat and I rarely seek…read moreit out. But I have heard good things of the new-ish Fruit Stand, located right by Cleveland's Playhouse Square, so I resigned to paying $13 bucks for a bowl of fruit and granola, and tried it out for lunch before a show in May 2026. This place was HOPPING at 12pm on Sunday in May 2026. And the music they had on were all early-2000s BOPS! It is also very instagram-friendly inside. If I had more time, I would have gotten better pictures. The young girl behind the counter was very sweet and helped me create the best bowl for my mood that day. I ordered the medium acai bowl ($12) although I was worried if I was going to be able to finish it in time for the Broadway show I was going to next door. (Spoiler alert - I definitely finished it!). I got the mixed soft serve base of strawberry acai and peach soft serve. It had melted by the time I got to it as it was on the bottom. #life of a slow eater Then I got to choose 3 fruits. I chose banana slices, strawberries, and pineapple. As for the crunchy toppings, I got half and half of birthday cake granola (yes) and oreos (yes yes)! Then had honey as my drizzle. They were VERY generous with the honey! My creation looked gorgeous! I went and ate it quickly in their upstairs seating space and dealt with a little bit of a sugar crash later in the day! I wish they had some healthier crunchy and drizzle topping options! And my strawberry slices were still a bit frozen. But overall, I loved my lunch from The Fruit Salad. I wish I had had more time to enjoy it since I had to eat it really fast. Next time!!

Great spot located in Playhouse Square! Options for a smoothie, bowl, or oatmeal with toppings…read more The overnight oats are made with water, so they are dairy free! I ordered a regular size with banana, strawberries, and blueberries. They do not skimp on the toppings! The upstairs seating was great to get some work done and the staff was super friendly and helpful!

I finally made my way to Borderline Cafe, and it did not disappoint! It was everything I needed in…read morea small local diner with good breakfast food. A few things to note if you decide to try it out: there are no reservations. Seating is first come, first served, and a line forms outside in the benches. Hop in line and expect to wait about 15 minutes. Very casual and smooth! Also, they take card but would appreciate if you paid cash to cut down on credit card expenses. You get a fun treat if you do! I started my breakfast with some freshly brewed coffee that they kept topping off throughout the morning. I also get some fresh fruit and the strawberries were sooo sweet! Get the fruit, because it's a nice snack while you wait for your meal to come out. For my entrée, I ordered two buttermilk pancakes and a side of eggs scrambled with cheese and the home fries. The pancakes were fluffy and the syrup was nice and thick. I loved how the eggs came out. They were cooked perfectly with cheddar cheese. And the home fries stole my heart. How a restaurant prepares their home fries sets the tone for me anywhere. They were seasoned very well and I could tell that they are a great foundation to the entrees on the house specialties menu. I will be returning to try some of the savory dishes very soon!

This is hands-down a top 5 breakfast eatery for us...love the ladies who seat and serve...However,…read moreI had the Bacon Avocado Eggs Benedict yesterday...It's has been a go to breakfast meal for years... Yesterday it was saturated in lime juice...and an overly spiced (cayenne loaded) cheese sauce...both of which overpowered every other component of the dish...please go back to the original recipe.
