UnBar is a woman-owned wine bar and coffee shop union. Is there a better duo? I don't think so. I…read moreunexpectedly really enjoyed my experience. I stopped in today for a cup of morning coffee but walked away with my hands full. I got iced coffee which came in a smaller than I wanted cup. I also got mushroom latte which was perfectly spiced with cinnamon, and very smooth. I selected almond milk and feel like it paired well with the ingredients. Also I had to have some baked goodies after looking at the bakery case. I ordered croissant which honestly I found to be not fresh but still good. Apricot tea cake in the perfect world deserves its own paragraph. It was delicious, generously filled, and everything a tea cake should be. It's a must have! Service here is phenomenal! I mean top notch, attentive, and very genuine. There was only one employee serving the line but she did it with such a level of positivity that it made my morning. She asked if baked goodies needed to be warmed, asked about drink carriers, milk preferences, everything. She was consistently friendly with all customers. I really applaud this cafe on having such warm and friendly service. I wish more workers were in this morning to attend to the line but the service was incredible. As far as the cafe layout and amenities, here's the scoop. The cafe has wine, beer, coffee, and breakfast/lunch grab and go's. They have a coffee club where you get your own tumbler and you can join for $20. They also have plants for sale on a display much like Phoenix coffee. They also have a printer that you can use to print things. I don't know about you but I always feel like I need to print things. I mean it. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, was quiet when I was there and is somewhere you can really focus and do your most meaningful work. I also like the separation from the counter to the seating portion that makes it more secluded. I could totally see myself sitting here all day outside and enjoying the sunshine. Overall, if you have wine or caffeine needs, stop by this cafe. It's an unexpected gem of Larchmere. Order mushroom latte, it's a unique local find and is very tasty. Lastly, the cafe seems to have many regulars. One of the customers said "it's always a joy to be here" to cafe employee. That's exactly how it felt here - joyful.

I ordered the Salmon Salad sandwich, with a side of tabouli. My daughter got a tasty sandwich, flavored nicely with crisp bacon. I also had a bowl of gazpacho, which was delicious.

Oh, and I actually got the soup for free, because the counter staff originally forgot to add it to my order, so she told me, "it's on the house"!

Thanks to Too Good To Go (and my love of desserts!), I finally got around to trying Honeybirch…read moreBakehouse a few weeks ago, a "new-ish" bakery on the other side of Cleveland Heights from my house. For a discounted price of about $9, I came home with 4 delicious baked goods and a mini baguette about an hour before they closed for the day. Note: $9 is way less than what you will normally pay for these 5 items. They average around $4 each. I got a savory scone, a massive cookie, a mini baguette, an apple muffin, and a huge cinnamon roll. I ate the cinnamon roll nearly right away once I got home. The cinnamon roll with cream cheese ($6) was SOOOOO moist and decadent! I warmed it up for a few seconds and then enjoyed one of the best cinnamon roll I have ever had. The vanilla and cinnamon were very prominent. Definitely a calorie bomb though. I shared the other sweet treats with my sister the next day and we agreed that the next best item was the muffin. I should also mention that the staff member that helped me that afternoon was very nice and most likely the owner. He was very helpful in explaining what each item I got in my box was and also in helping me decide on a gift for a friend I was about to see soon. I bought my friend a box of locally made teas for about $14 and she loved them! I definitely hope to come back here soon (once I have worked off the pounds from this most recent visit haha)!

You haven't indulged yourself. The pumpkin praline cookies alone are a texture unrecreatable (new word alert) by anyone else.

I mean crispy dense flavorful gingerbread cookies, huge super toasty chocolatey oat chip cookies, a brookie?!? Everything here rocks and I am a super duper snob when it comes to bakery items (see all of my bakery reviews haha).

It was so well designed and wonderfully constructed and beautifully decorated. I just wanted to get a cup of great coffee and a fabulous cinnamon bun and stay.

I must tell you, I have never taken a picture of a bathroom before. But I just had to show you this one, chandelier and all . This is definitely an establishment worth going out of your way for.

The gluten-free crust was light and bubbly, though a bit on the well-done side, which I didn't mind. Overall, yes, yes, and yaaas! The roast beef and swiss sandwich on the gluten-free baguette was generous, rustic, and delicious.
