Coffee and baked goods are excellent. Service is always outstanding, they really care. And you can walk over to the butcher shop and pick up great steaks that are very affordable and top notch. read more

Edwins is a great place for breakfast. Fresh biscuits and their own fresh cut meats makes it a unique and delicious option!

I'm giving them a five star rating based on two things: very friendly and welcoming service, and the most delicious sticky bun I've ever tasted. Yum! I can't wait to come back and try more stuff! read more

I've invited friends to breakfast here and they have told me that it has become one of their favorite breakfast places. Park right out front, very attentive service, good food, many choices, and moderate prices. It is my favorite breakfast place near Shaker Square. That it supports a good cause is a bonus. Try it -- you will like it. But closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. read more

Another visit to another Edwins and another homerun for Brandon Chrostowski. I hope you know the mission of the Edwins Institute so I will not go into the details about it here... So on to the bakery/diner experience - it is absolutely great! My daughter can't stop speaking how much she loved it here. When you come in, you are greeted by the counter with the the display of all freshly baked goodies (and they all look amazing). To the left is the library with some of the seating's and to the right is the diner itself (the diner itself is pretty small but library and butcher shop next door has some additional seats). The menu itself is full of all the great breakfast/brunch spots. My daughter ordered iced white mocha coffee, which they don't have on the menu but the individual behind the counter didn't blink and made it for her (great service, very typical of Edwins experience!). We tried 3 things on the menu: Corned Beef Hash (home-made corned beef, awesome! a bit of a miss that eggs were a bit overcooked and more carrots that I prefer), Crepes with strawberry and nutella, and egg sandwich on a croissant with smoke salmon. We also ordered Pain Au Chocolat and Lemon Curd to go. Everything was outstanding. Definitely coming back! P.S. When you are here, visit the butcher shop!!! Really neat as well read more

Great option for a breakfast/brunch. I got the basic breakfast that came with eggs, bacon, toast and potatoes. It tasted really good. My only complaint was some of potatoes were undercooked, and some pieces were too hard to eat through. The flavor was on point though. Service was super attentive. I want to come back to try some of the baked items. They have a huge selection at the front. read more

I enjoyed brunch from here!! super affordable with tasty food. We had the sausage biscuits and gravy, steak and eggs, grits, and house made sausage and it was all yum!! some of the dishes definitely need an egg add on to satisfy those brunch cravings. the only complaint I have is that almost the entirety of the bakery menu was unavailable at ~11am on a Sunday. I really wanted to try the croissant pretzel or banana bread. read more

No way food should have this much grease in/on it. It is obvious the potatoes were double or triple dipped because the were still dry inside despite all the oil and not even warm. the sandwich bread was oily as well. It used to be one of my favorite spots for breakfast, not anymore. The last few times there was no consistency in the meals. Get it together. read more

Incredible breakfast at a reasonable price. This place is for real; do yourself a favor and try it!

We ate an amazingly delicious and inexpensive breakfast in the diner attached to the bakery this morning. My husband had Edwin's omelette which he loved and I had the strawberry and cream cheese crepes which were delicious and slightly crispy. Both came with lyonnaise potatoes which are addicting. My turkey sausage (made in the butcher shop next door) was the best I have ever had. I wouldn't have guessed it was turkey if I had not known. And my husband loved the smoked bacon from the butcher. We also bought a croissant, a scone, and lemon bars from the bakery for later. We will most definitely be back and bring family and friends. We have just found our favorite breakfast place!!! read more

We did a bakery zoom over winter break to make Edwin's fudge brownies and they were great. It was such a fun event and then brownies were delicious. read more

Absolutely fantastic! The gentleman working was so kind and the pastries were PERFECTION! The raspberry danish was incredible. I tried the Pain au chocolat for the first time and if you are a fan of dark chocolate and a croissants... you need to give it a try! I can't wait to come back now that we found out that they have a breakfast menu! We also want to try some of their coffees, lattes, teas and hot chocolates! My only complaint would be that it was difficult to figure out where to park, but that definitely is not a deterrent for us. read more

Large place with bakery, deli, and some quiet study type areas in one big building. Limited hours e.g. Sunday only open from 10:30-1:30, but worth the trip. In the deli they sell all sorts of sauces, marinades, bacon, jerky, ribs, cheeses. They have a hot food menu. My pulled pork sandwich with cheese wasn't too expensive at $8. The bakery had a cretzel which is a croissant with some heterogenous pretzel dough and salt atop. It was pretty interesting and would have been great if paired with a savory sauce or even cinnamon butter. The lady working said the cookies were just out of the oven and were soft yet the chocolate chip cookie was absolutely burned on bottom and very hard to the point of tasteless crumb explosions with my attempted bites so I tossed it. The oatmeal raisin cookie was somewhat chewy in the middle but the edges were also hard and overcooked. The blueberry scone was more my style- very moist and not dry at all with a cake like texture and excellent real blueberry flavor. The cinnamon roll was the best by far. It was very soft and had genuine cinnamon roll and sweet frosting flavors. The pulled pork sandwich was fine although the pork was burned and kinda tough and lacking in sauce which would've rehydrated it. Bun was soft and lightly toasted. This place will be great if they turn the oven down :) read more

By far the best brunch place on the East side in Cleveland! Large portions that completely cover the plate, extremely attentive service, and delicious food. We had 4 people, sat down right away at 10:30am on a Sunday, and had eggs, pastries, coffee, etc. The culinary experience of Edwin's at an unbelievable cost. $60 for the entire meal (4 coffees, 4 entrees, a pastry). read more

Edwins Bakery - Cinnamon bun - Cafes Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Since no one had added Edwins Bakery to Yelp yet I figured I would and at least give it a quick review. Just a quick stop to grab a couple of items, but glad to see EB open and busy. Located on Buckeye Road just East of Edwins Butcher Shop (there is actually a pass through between the shops). Edwins continues to grow and to expand its offerings providing culinary education to formerly incarcerated people as well as helping to revive the Buckeye neighborhood. The Bakery and Cafe consists of 3 rooms, a nice cafe room with a limited menu of breakfast items, the bakery itself and a library room with books and plenty of places to sit. All three rooms are nicely set up and where busy when I stopped by at about 9am on the Monday before Christmas. The Bakery has a relatively small footprint with a glass display case of pastries, a couple of sweets in the cooler, about 4-5 breads available and several items in baskets on the counter by the register. The selection looked very nice and I picked a soft pretzel ($1.50) and the Chocolate Pastry ($3). The pretzel was nice, soft but chewy with good flavor and just the right amount of salt. The Chocolate Snail was excellent with slightly sweet flaky pastry with high quality bittersweet chocolate giving delicious bursts of deep rich chocolate flavor. Both pieces were very good, the prices were reasonable for the quality that I received. Edwins Bakery is a welcome addition to the Buckeye/Shaker Square area and provides good food for the price, even better they are training people to work in bakeries and cafes so that they can get jobs which is a great mission. Give any of the Edwins facilities a try. read more

Please - whatever you do, don't come here. Because I want this place all to myself! The Best Breakfast Place. Such a cute spot - bright and quaint- with the feel of Paris! Beautiful food at extremely reasonable prices. Breakfast sandwiches on authentic croissants! Fresh French pastries! Homemade breakfast meats from the Edwins butcher shop! And you can get all of the foods individually as sides, which gives you a lot of flexibility in choosing from among too many fantastic choices. And they takes reservations. Let's keep this gem a secret.... read more

Good food, Friendly service, Neighborly atmosphere, prices are reasonable and pastries are beautiful

We picked up our much anticipated paczkis yesterday on Fat Tuesday and were very disappointed. They looked and tasted like days old bakery with the donut dry and tasteless and the filling barely a smidge. We ended up throwing our half dozen away. Not what we expected of Brandon! read more

Picked up a cinnamon bun from Edwin's today and was so happy with it! The warm flaky croissant base laced with cinnamon and topped with a buttery sweet glaze, you just can't go wrong. The person working was very nice as well! Would recommend! read more

I had a latte and a blueberry scone and both were great. I was checked out by Seth and he was so kind and gave great service!

I stopped here on my lunch break, the customer was prompt. I didn't have to wait long for my food, I was really happy about that! There wasn't much to the ambiance but the restaurant was clean and I felt at home while eating there. read more

Don't miss the opportunity to eat here. Everyone seems so kind, accommodating, and welcoming. The lemon bar treat was wonderful. It was so easy to find a place to park. read more

Edwin's dinners are all amazing, but the Friday fish Lenten special was spectacular!! I will definitely return often.

Love love love this bakery! Three pastries were purchased: A Brownie, Lemon Bar and Cheese Danish, and we enjoyed them immensely! Mr. Brandon C. and his employees really care about the quality of their product, and the customer service has been outstanding. Breakfast is next... read more

I've been wanting to check out Edwin's Bakery for some time now and today was the day! I stopped by to pick up some pastries for my team at work. I got there right as they were opening and got a variety of pastries including scones, danish, croissant and a cinnamon roll (they put that in a separate bag just for me!). Everything was fresh from the oven. The cinnamon roll was light and flakey and honestly other than homemade it was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. I didn't get to try the other pastries but everything looked amazing and my team raved about them! The service was great too, we chatted a little about awesome growth happening for the Edwin's family of restaurants in Shaker Square. He also explained the menu/pastries and offered items right from the oven as they were coming out! I will definitely be coming back and will bring friends. Thanks for a nice start to the morning! read more

AbsoluteGreat food had the pulled pork in the beers are cold everything is great did not take any pictures sorry I said

Delicious breakfast. I had a super mocha and an egg sandwich with smoked salmon on a croissant. I'll have to come back to try some of the other tasty looking pastries like cro-nuts, pain au chocolate, brownies, and lemon bars. read more

A very good bakery with a great back story. Nice selection of fresh baked treats and the breakfast menu is always fresh made and very tasty.

Food was great. I am a huge fan of their employment model too, teaching culinary arts to former convicts. You could say they are killing the breakfast game. And with competitive prices and sizable portions they will surely be strangling the competition. read more

Adorable place with good food and amazing coffee. I am definitely going to come back and try a bunch of things and see everything they have!

I was disappointed. The croissant was awful. It wasn't flakey and delicate it was doughy almost bread like. The potatoes weren't bad. The egg sandwich was okay. I had the egg sandwich on wheat bread and can't say it was noteworthy bread either. The bacon was probably my favorite thing I tried. The atmosphere was pretty nice and the service was slow at first but good over all. O read more

Popped in to check it out on our way home from University Circle. Bought a brownie and a pain au chocolate. The brownie was probably the best one I've ever had! Thick and perfectly chewy all the way through with yummy crispy edges. We will definitely be going back to check out their breakfast options, as the space is really inviting and cute inside, and service was delightful. read more

We ordered 50 breakfast pastries from Edwins Bakery to deliver to front line workers. We arrived early and everything was ready, packaged in individual paper bags for us to deliver. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Of course, we couldn't leave without goodies for ourselves! The scones, cheese danish and almond bars were amazing! With the butcher shop just through the door, I'll be back for breakfast, and will pick up something to take home for dinner, too! read more

Tried the diner for Sunday brunch. The omelet was excellent, service was great and ended up leaving with a box full of pastries for dessert. I will be back! read more
