Bought their sourdough bread today. It was $12 for a small loaf at the farmers market…read more I wanted to give it back and I feel like we were ripped off!' $12 should have at least bought me 2 loaves. We tried the bread with dinner tonight and it was just ok. I mean for what we spent I wanted it to not be so dry and it got hard in one day! Ridiculous!!!

Cannot wait to buy more bread! I first tasted Breadheads at the Yelp Rock Royalty Event and…read moreeverything they had out to sample was delicious! I'm looking forward to finding them at the Lakewood Farmers Market and purchasing a full loaf. The peanut butter bread was fantastic and I really loved sampling their pretzel bread as well!

I had a birthday recently. My coworkers talked about Slices and how good the cakes were. So I asked…read moremy wife to get me a cake from Slices. She bought the cake and picked it up. After dinner, we had some cake. It looked amazing! And it tasted good too. I felt like since it was such a rich looking chocolate cake that it would be very sweet. Well, it actually wasn't extremely sweet. I felt like it could have had more of a cocoa chocolate flavor than it did. The cake was large, heavy, and cost $75. I like sweets and I expected the cake to be more chocolaty and sweet. I would like to try other cakes soon. Good stuff!

Each flavor has been delicious, with the rich, creamy cheesecake texture and flavor that a bakery specializing in them should have.

I've always loved big markets having grown up in the middle of many in Pennsylvania. I recently…read morevisited Cleveland and friends made sure we started a Saturday here. It was a highlight of the trip! The market is right downtown in a gorgeous old building, make sure to look at the ceilings. There are public parking areas all around outside, but it does get busy. There are also side buildings and outdoor stalls nearby, so be sure to check them out. Inside is rows upon rows of amazing local vendors with food to enjoy there, or many items to buy and take home. Meat counters, fresh vegetables and fruit, sauces, Middle Eastern food, Greek, Mexican, Gyros, sandwiches, baked goods, salads and so much more are all over. Even stalls that repeat the same types of items have their own unique spin and history. It's busy, with people everywhere looking and enjoying their purchases. Prices are reasonable, especially how fresh and local everything is. I bought a bunch of small things to eat while we walked, together we bought shishkabobs and steak to enjoy at home the following day. It's a great place to shop local!

Visiting West Side Market on day two of my trip confirmed a few things for me:…read more 1. Cleveland is seriously underrated as a city. Food and architecture are two areas where it deserves far more recognition, and this market showcases both beautifully. 2. I'm coming back. 3. There is absolutely zero chance I stay in a hotel next time. I need a place with a kitchen. When I return, I fully intend to walk through this market, buy from no fewer than 10 stalls, and somehow end up preparing enough food for 25 people--even if it's only my family of four. The specialties here are endless. The uncooked pierogies nearly broke my heart because I had no way to take them home and cook them myself. Sausage lovers will be in heaven, and beyond that, you'll find incredible produce, fresh fish, quality proteins, and a wonderful representation of the many cultures that make Cleveland what it is. All of this is housed inside a historic building with stunning architecture that makes the experience even better. Pro tip: Climb the stairs to the second floor for an incredible bird's-eye view of the entire market. It's the perfect way to appreciate just how special this Cleveland landmark really is.

The variety of frozen fruit juices were amazing. We bought 6 different ones to try. The all have no added sugar. Great selection of coffee from Puerto Rico, can wait to try them.

The café next door serve wonderful coffee and sweets. Great neighborhood grocery and café.

I really like Greek food. But finding great Greek food in the Cleveland area is difficult…read more Thank goodness for "Astoria". Not only do they have a great market and deli, with wonderful options and excellent selection. But the restaurant, which is placed right in the heart of it all, is pretty wonderful as well The service we received last night, from the hostess to our server Mario, was right on point. They were pleasant, friendly, and efficient. The menu has lots of options to satisfy everyone's appetite. I personally love the vast selection of boards. The meats, cheeses, olives, nuts, berries, etc , etc., are high quality and good sized servings. And they always come with an excellent wine pairing. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Cheesed to Meat You" board paired with an excellent Amarone. Followed by a wonderful "Pot de Creme" and coffee. My wife enjoyed the "Greek Wellington" and brought some home for lunch today. The food is great. The service is great. The experience is great. So go and enjoy.

What a delight! This stop was one I am incredibly familiar with (they are my neighbor) but never…read morepopped in to check out, and I am glad I did! It is without a doubt that this restaurant is very well done, with a clean/refined/comfortable atmosphere. Catering to all points of the day, it can accommodate ladies brunch to an anniversary dinner without having to change a thing. The service is also INCREDIBLE. The kindest people you could want taking care of you, they do not hover and yet know exactly when to pop in to make sure food and drink are flowing. And let's talk about this food and drink. Now I completely believe some things may be down to preference and tastes (the menu does have some twists as the complexity of each dish is admirable) but I can highly recommend whatever you land on as they do craft exceptional seasonal dishes.

First time at the West Side Market and saw that their salmon was nice and fresh. But their crab…read morestuffed ones caught my eye so I decided to buy 2 fillets for dinner. I'm so glad I did because it came out delicious! I was told the crab meat had eggs and worcestershire sauce in it, a traditional crab cake recipe, it turned out really good. The quality of the fish was very fresh. I think the type of fish I got was $17.99/lb. A little steep but it was worth it because it was very flavorful. Looks like they have another location not far away where you can perhaps buy whole sale price. This booth sells at retail price. Service was friendly and courteous, I would return again! Their little neck clams looked great too. I'm dying to make white wine little necks in linguini! Yum!

Anyhow, the reason I wanted to post something is, as excellent as their chevre is, they also produce this semi-soft cheese called blomma which is even better. It's creamy and complex and pungent and so freakin' good. It destroys all other Ohio cheeses, and I think it belongs in the same company of some of the best U.S. artisan cheeses around . Humboldt Fog, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Purple Haze...the blomma is every bit as good as these. It can be maddeningly hard to find, but it's worth tracking it down. (Check out http://www.lakeeriecreamery.com/ for their retail locations.) **** There also used to be this solo German- or Austrian-accented guy who used to sell these wild-ass cave-ripened cheeses around here. (Cave-ripened smethe, I think he called it....probably a German word for "smells like gym socks.") He just disappeared from the farmer's markets one day without explanation. If anyone knows who he was and if he's still in business, drop me a message. Goddamn if that guy didn't ever produce some glorious stink.

Found my new produce stand at the WSM--done and done…read more I'm a CSA gal, Fresh Fork to be exact, but sometimes you just need some extra ingredients and that's where Rooted In Cleveland comes in. Here there is no question where your produce is coming from--most likely it's from across the street at Ohio City Farm! Yep: the farm that helps refugees find work and teaches them to farm to make money (Refugee Responce)... the farm space that helps people in need find fresh produce while also supplying local restaurants in Ohio City with tons of homegrown goodies. That farm! The stand has pretty much all seasonal items, but when I stopped by last week they had everything I was looking for. Herbs, root veggies, tomatoes, greens--yum! I'm not sure what the stand will look like in the winter months, but I'm sure they'll have something out there that's delicious. Their FB page says it best, "We're a seasonally and sustainably-oriented produce stand at the West Side Market providing local and organically-minded specialty produce." Prices were way cheaper than Dave's Supermarket and pretty on point with the rest of the stands. But what really stands out? No yelling or selling! That's right--no one at the stand will try to sell you or trick you into buying overly ripened produce they don't let you see first before they throw in a bag. In general, just picture this: You're fighting your way through the produce wing at WSM on a Saturday afternoon, then you turn the corner to suddenly find a peaceful place where you can take a breath of fresh air and buy bad ass local produce. Yes, that was a bit of a run-on, but you get the point. Hint: It's near the Ohio City Blooms stand.
