    Veggie Sandwich
    Stephanie S.

    I hadn't been to Pace Cafe in a while and originally visited when they first opened. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have expanded their menu quite a bit. They offer a variety of bagel sandwiches and toasts, as well as build-your-own power bowls, açaí bowls and parfaits. I had a fabulous veggie sandwich on their homemade zatar bagel. I LOVE zatar season and have never had it in a bagel. This was awesome! They also offer a variety or house made coffee syrups and specialty drinks. I got the carrot cake syrup in my coffee. It was mildly flavored but really tasty. The atmosphere is perfect. It's super bright and inviting. There's a good amount of seating options and tables and it's not so busy that it becomes loud. Everyone is super friendly, especially Tony who answered all of my questions and made my sandwich. Pace Cafe may have just jumped a few spots on my favorite Cleveland coffee shops and I can't wait to return.

    Mixed Berry Fruit Parfait
    Elizabeth G.

    Starting with the good: the parfait was yummy! (How can a parfait be bad?) I was also told the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was good. Now, the bagel had a nice flavor but (as you can see from my pic) it was really gummy. Not great I also was excited to get flavored cold foam with a cold brew. Even though on the menu it says cold brew latte - I really wasn't expecting half the drink to be cold foam :/ I like cold brew with cold foam over a regular latte because I can't handle that much milk - so I was honestly disappointed with the insane amount of cold foam. So beware! The workers were nice though! And it's a good spot to sit for a while. We went there to enjoy coffee & breakfast while planning some upcoming trips. One downside is that they had the music way too loud for comfort. If you are a nerd - my decibel meter was siting at 75 decibels. It was uncomfortable for a small space. Overall rating: 3.0/5 stars

    Such a cute café! The decor is so cozy, the menu items are reasonably priced, and the food was tasty. I tried the chicken salad sandwich and the cashew butter banana toast, both were scrumptious. The lattes were good as well. My one qualm is that the heat turned was up way too high inside the store, causing me to sweat while ordering and I ended up sitting outside. I also noticed quite a few flies at the counter and a bunch more in the bathroom.

    Delicious golden harvest bowl with well seasoned black pepper turmeric rice and delicious roasted veggies like beets. Added egg patty was a nice salty touch. Got a cinnamon roll ($7) w cashew butter ($0.50 extra I think). It was tough and kinda dry and therefore bad. Lots of interesting drink flavors available.

    The breakfast bowls and housemade bagels are delicious! I also enjoy their pour over coffee as well as specialty lattes such as chocolate covered strawberry. The soft neutral aesthetic with lively music also creates a great ambiance for either getting work done or chatting with a friend. I came here solo and had a great breakfast!

    This place has a cute vibe, and loved my sandwich! Service is a bit slow, but I think that's kind of the idea. Hang out, have a coffee and stay a while. They have local bagels and I had an egg and cheese, that was hot with melty cheese. The vibe is fun, and I enjoyed it.

    Had a vanilla matcha - my first matcha so nothing to compare it to but was good. Nice atmosphere with couches and tables.

    Ceremonial Matcha Destination! I discovered Pace Café during Café Culture Club event/DJ set by DJ NicNacc. What a gem! This café is such an aesthetically pleasing place - airy, earthy, and cozy. There is plenty of natural light at this cafe and a large window overlooking lush greenery. It's a cafe for slow living. Pace Cafe is known for high-quality, organic, GMO-free, and seed-free eats. It's a perfect match for health-conscious eaters. They have scratch free kitchen which means it takes time and perfection to prepare every dish. The dishes and drinks are so worth the wait! Here's how the experience works. You order at the counter. Menus and specials are displayed. Don't miss the specials! Your order is called when it's ready or delivered to you. If you ordered more than one item, they'll each arrive separately. Meanwhile, you can lounge on comfy couches, sit at the table, or select a nice leather chair to recline on. I went a little over the top with my order since I was there awhile for an event. My order: - Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($6.50)- Ceremonial grade matcha with strawberry jam on the bottom. This matcha matcha is recommended all the time in the Facebook food groups, so I had to taste it! It's very smooth and subtly sweet. You can clearly taste strawberries! Easily the best in the city! - Pistachio Honey Bagel ($2.50) - New addition to the menu. I asked to add cream cheese. The bagel arrived toasted and drizzled in honey. I would love it if every single morning began with this bagel! Seriously good value and delicious! - Glow juice ($6) - Cold pressed juice with orange, carrot, lemon, and turmeric. It's well balanced and awakening. - BBQ #1 combo (available for this event only) - Special BBQ meal for the Memorial Day event. The meal included BBQ sliders and chicken salad ($14 + $4 up-charge for salad). My order was lost then found. I received 1.5 slide pieces. I wasn't a big fan of this combo especially grass fed beef. It seemed like not a good value for the price and was too dry. Service was ok. Considering how many guests were at the café, they handled the volume very well. I feel that service would be much more personalized on slow days. The café has cute merch such as branded coffee, reiki-infused tea, bath soaks, and artisan soaps. Also they have mesh totes, perfect for farmers market weekends. Browse the shelf at the front of the café to discover your treasures. I look forward to visiting again. I hope to experience more matcha choices! You should too!

    I visited for the first time on an early morning, around 7:30am, on 4 March 2025. I was warmly greeted by the 2 owners. Pace Cafe opened about 5 months ago, in Autumn 2024. I actually met one of the owners, Ameen Khadair in July 2023 at the Lakewood Arts Festival. He had a booth at the festival for his company, Socially Raw, which are organic cold-press juices. Those juices and juice shots are sold here at Pace Cafe. I met the other Pace Cafe owner this morning, Sabrina Quinones, who is a business partner with Ameen. Both are very warm and kind. JUICES (5/5 - the BEST!!) -- I originally tried one of their cold press juices at the Lakewood Arts festival in summer 2023. Back then I got the Buster (orange, pineapple, lemon, and ginger). This morning, I bought the following juices: FORM (juice) -- 8oz cold-pressed organic juice (celery, cucumber, ginger, lemon) -- $6 // I took a risk and got this celery juice and it's definitely good for you but it's an acquired taste. It's a strong flavour but it is fresh. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it but I'm glad I tried a different flavour than what I'm used to. SHOTS (juice) -- Energizer wellness shot ($5) -- I bought the energizer shot which includes beets, lemon, and ginger /// I always love ginger shots so this beet shot was a refreshing one. I loved it. TEAS ($3) -- They use the Weetee brand which is an organic tea. I tried their green tea which was good but I added some sugar when I got home. Normally, I add honey to my tea. FOOD (4/5) -- They have the typical cafe options from breakfast and lunch sandwiches, muffins, bagels, etc. From previous reviews that I read, the muffin doesn't appear to be great but I plan to try it on another visit. This morning, I bought a breakfast sandwich with egg and Turkey bacon (without the cheese). There was only a sesame bagel available so I chose that one. The breakfast sandwich was good especially since the bagels are made fresh in-house. Overall, Pace Cafe is a cafe with healthy food and drink options that is owned by two passionate business partners. I'll certainly be back. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 43/365 total reviews in 2025 - 824 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 4 March 2025

    I would rate this place 5+ stars if I could. I absolutely LOVED it, and I can't wait to be back ! The service was a little slow as well, but that's where the negatives stop. I got the iced coffee which was TERRIFIC! I didn't even put in any milk/sweetener bc it was THAT GOOD! I'm still dreaming about it. I also tasted my mom's hot vanilla latte and it was equally as delicious!!! The freshly made bagels, OMG. I got the sea salt bagel and it was AMAZING. It was chewy but toasted perfectly. Wow. I'm salivating thinking about it. And they're made fresh in house every morning! I love the fact that this place has good ingredients, as I try my best to do the same. I could feel good about what I was putting into my body. And the vibe was great! Soothing and relaxing. Plenty of tables. (I'd maybe add a shade for the front area bc the sun is BRIGHT and TOASTY)

    Amazing homemade gluten free bagels. Friendly service. Purchased some to go good for you drinks. Love the "awakening" one. They also do home deliveries for their juices within a 40 mile radius. I believe on Saturdays. Warm comfortable establishment.

    I visited Pace again on President's Day and had a great experience. Since it's a scratch kitchen, most items are made to order, so there can be a longer wait, especially with only two workers that day. I didn't mind it much, it gave me time to relax. I'm sure as a newer cafe, staffing might still be a work in progress, but I saw they had a job posting online, so they're making an active effort. I got to try the gluten free bagel sandwich, and it was delicious. I skipped the cream cheese since it was extra, but I wish I hadn't because my friend loved their regular bagel sandwich with cream cheese! The latte was great, and the muffin was tasty, though a bit softer inside; probably just my preference. I appreciate that they prioritize organic ingredients. I think most items probably were organic (I saw the milk was), but I wasn't sure I saw the organic label on the shredded cheese packet, although I may have just missed it. The cafe had a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral, earthy decor. I loved the design of the registration island and wall accents. A few more couches would make it even cozier, but overall, I appreciated the attention to detail. This place will definitely be in my rotation going forward!

I loved how…read morethe restaurant creates a tower with cheesy scrambled eggs (enough where you can see the cheese pull with every scoop) as the foundation, followed by a fluffy biscuit to top it off. The dish is drenched with their delicious and creamy gravy, which complimented very well with the spinach, mushroom, and turkey sausage chunks (extra). This is a huge portion and can easily be shared by two people! As for my sweet craving, I ordered a side of their Kid's Spelt Pancake (essentially a smaller version of the entree size), and the pancakes were made perfectly! The pancakes were fluffy, layered with small apple chunks for a nice, crispy crunch, and topped with a homemade whipped cream -- I could literally eat their whipped cream for days! It was super creamy with a light sweet aftertaste. If you're looking for a dangerous savory sweet combination, look no further!! The service was quick and the staff were incredibly kind.

We were told the wait was 30-40 minutes and I believe we sat after 30 minutes. Time flew by as it was a beautiful Sunday morning and we were all chatting outside.

The Rowley Inn is located in a nice neighborhood (Tremont) across the street from the Christmas Story house. I had three meals there. The first, loaded pierogis, was the ultimate comfort dish. Pierogis with potato centers were covered in diced kielbasa, bacon (yes, bacon), and covered in cheddar cheese. Ahhhhh. The others at my table raved about the kielbasa and pierogi dish. They also liked the beer selection. How do you know you have a great find? You think about the meal long after it is consumed. Next meal- breakfast. I had the kielbasa and pierogi omelet. Need I say more? Finally, we came back a third time and I ordered the burger. No burger place (save Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ) can match the Rowley burger. The burger is actually seasoned and cooked to order. I had it medium rare. Sheer perfection. Typing this review makes me sad because I live far away from Cleveland. If you are in The Land, you must drop everything you are doing to get to the Rowley Inn. It is a 8 minute drive from downtown.

It upsets her stomach. Maria was very honest and said yes, it has lots of onions. And she is not a fan of it for that reason. We thanked her and went to our 2nd choices. I got a chicken avo club and Kathy got the BLT with an egg and on ciabatta bread. My chicken avo club was good. Just very sloppy. The avocado made it too slippery to stay on the bread. The first half I was able to keep it on. 2nd half I had to deconstruct it and eat it piece by piece with a fork and knife. Still good. Just not in sandwich form. The Cajun potato's were very good too. Kathy also enjoyed her BLT. Place is cute. Lots of artwork on the walls you can buy. Parking is right in the lot by the entrance. Easy peazy. No reason to not try this place. Prices are about average. My sandwich was $15. And you can get breakfast all day. Lives up to the hype. I'd go back.

So for a grand total of $24.90, I got the Doris sandwich (a breakfast pork burger and egg sandwich) with added pickles and mixed greens, as well as an order of their famous cornmeal fries and a side of sunshine sauce. Everything was packaged fabulously in their iconic retro-diner style packaging and was still hot upon arrival. The buttery brioche bun was without a doubt, some of the best bread I've had in a while. I am marking my score down a mere half point as I wasn't huge on the signature egg and I would have liked an opportunity to opt for "light" sauce vs a standard amount of sauce on the food ordering app. The entire sandwich is gigantic and is definitely a diet killer. The cornmeal fries, which includes about 7 huge and filling fries, were so good! Definitely a must-order here. I ate a couple now and am saving the rest for later.

It's tucked away in a residential area inside an old house, giving it a charm that's impossible to manufacture. The interior is unpretentious, cozy, and full of character... and maybe a few characters too. The barkeeps have plenty of personality. There are no robotic greetings or scripted welcomes here, just genuine hospitality from people who seem happy to be behind the bar. Whiskey dominates the spirits menu, but there's plenty else to choose from. And don't let the casual vibe fool you--you can absolutely get a serious cocktail here, expertly made and perfectly balanced. On the food side, if you've had one too many and need something substantial to soak up the drinks, may I suggest the Polish Platter? It's an absolutely delicious gut bomb loaded with pierogies, stuffed cabbage, Polish sausage, noodles, and potato cakes. The cabbage, sausage, and pierogies were all fantastic. Prosperity Social Club is the kind of place every city wishes it had: authentic, welcoming, and completely devoid of pretense. It's the sort of bar you walk into for one drink and end up staying all night.

I visited on a Saturday for brunch, and since they don't take reservations and the space isn't very large, there can be a bit of a wait during peak hours. Parking was probably the most frustrating part of the experience. Your main options are valet, street parking or parking in a city lot on a nearby street and walking over. It's doable, but not the most convenient -- especially if the weather isn't great or you're in a hurry. Once inside, though, the experience definitely improved. The atmosphere is cozy and lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff kept things moving despite how busy it was. The food was genuinely good and worth the wait. I ordered the shrimp and grits with chicken sausage, and it was flavorful, hearty, and clearly made fresh. I ordered 24K pancakes "with toppings" as a meal so it was around $20 and I thought it should've been way more fruit and whipped cream than it was for the price but that would be my only critique. One of the highlights was the drink menu -- especially the variety of mimosa options. If you're into brunch cocktails, you'll have plenty to choose from. I tried the lemon drop mimosa, which was refreshing, slightly tart, and a fun twist on the usual orange juice version. Overall, Double Nickel delivers where it matters most: tasty food and creative drinks in a cute brunch setting. Just plan ahead for parking and the possibility of a wait, and you'll likely leave happy (and full).

It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.

The guy at the register said the bread pudding still has a "cinnamon roll base, so it has orange in it" despite nothing in the sign denoting this awful addition to bread pudding and the fact that cinnamon rolls are not orange rolls. But I digress and I won't fight with a cashier over their poor decisions lol. Also got a cherry chocolate sourdough on impulse. Pray it is soft inside.
