The interior was small but surprisingly a lot of seating which was nice. I got the cold brew, which was yummy, and all the other drinks were really good as well. The barista was so kind and genuine, he was very patient with us as it was our first time in and he gave excellent recommendations for the bakery. The tahini marshmallow cookie was amazing, such a unique flavor profile and SO GOOD. The oatmeal chocolate chip and brownie were also great, and it was so cool that they bake the goods in house and offer so many GF and Vegan options. This coffee shop is definitely a cool place to check out and the people are so kind. They also had such an awesome holiday menu and variety of fun goods to try. I will be back for sure when I am in the area!!

Floressa is located in a residential neighborhood. You likely have to go out of your way for a…read morevisit, but it's worth it. A charming space in an old building. There's one long table, three small round ones and a little children's area. The vegan cinnamon roll was delicious, definitely not missing out on anything by not having dairy in the frosting. Standard black coffee was good, I can tell they use quality beans. They also have some specialty drinks, including flavored matchas (a popular order this morning). We split a cherry matcha, which was layered with pie filling. I don't generally go for matcha, but I did enjoy it with the addition of cherry. Only one person was working for the first hour or so of business on a Saturday, so there was a brief wait for an matcha or espresso drink or toast. Not a big deal at all to wait five minutes in this pleasant space, but heads up if you're in the habit of stopping for coffees when running late for something (hey, we've all done it). WOULD recommend starting your weekend at this cute women-owned shop!

What a neat little neighborhood Little Italy is! Managed a street spot right in front. The staff were so friendly and very attentive. Our waiter was fabulous. Our food was delicious.

The vibe is very relaxed inside . People were dressed up, people were dressed down; it is very comfortable. I apologized to the hostess for wearing a hoodie and leggings - I had just had surgery and my hotel was further out. She smiled and ushered us in. If you are in Cleveland and want to experience Little Italy , I have been told that all of the restaurants are lovely- Mia Bella has our vote!

I ordered their turkey sandwich and it took around 5ish minutes or slightly more. They had a big order to fill. So expect some wait time if someone placed a big order. Sandwich was delicious, good amount of turkey. Did not see any options aside from what's on the menu, like toasted bread or mixing other ingredients from one sandwich to the other. They offer some other snacks too, chips, drinks, and cookies. Great spot for sandwiches, will come back to try their others.

The place itself is tucked away into Lakewood and offers a great atmosphere with an indoor/outdoor flow. The ambiance is nice, they have good music playing in the background not too loud and not too quiet. We went in the evening, so all the lights were turned on which made the experience enjoyable. All the food was really flavorful, and they had a ton of options for cocktails. The complimentary sauces are phenomenal and definitely take the dishes to the next level! Unfortunately, we had to wait over an hour for our food to come out and despite being told appetizers would be quick they took awhile. Server was kind and apologetic and explained they had a new training chef although it felt others around us were getting their food. I do wish they would have given us a complimentary appetizer or made one free of charge as the wait total was almost 1.5 hours. Overall, this place is a really great stop and I'm glad to have it nearby. I have heard the service and speed is usually efficient so maybe this was just a one night thing. Definitely stop in as they have a large menu with bold flavor and a great atmosphere.

The place was packed, but the bartenders were so nice, even chatting a while about the place. They have seating inside with picnic tables, small tables and chairs, and standing room around the bar and on the back small porch.

Even as a regular eater of meat, I found this dish so satisfying and filling. In case you don't know, kushery is a whole load of carbs; the dish has rice, macaroni, lentils, a slightly spicy tomato sauce, garlic vinegar, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions. The whole mixture altogether was so tasty, and I would totally get this again. I also ordered the hibiscus punch ($6), which was refreshing and not too sweet. And even though I already had a bunch of carbs with the kushery, I got the Egyptian bread pudding ($8), which was very different from the bread pudding I typically see at restaurants around here. It consisted of toasted croissant pieces that were soaked in a creamy sweet milk; the dessert also came with a bunch of nuts, raisins, and whipped cream. It wasn't as rich or sweet as other kinds of bread pudding I've had, but it was still a tasty dessert. The service was a little slow, so I wouldn't suggest dining in here if you need to get a quick meal. But the food was good, and the staff was friendly, so if you have time for a relaxed meal, give the restaurant a try. Note - there were some slight price discrepancies between the menu and final receipt for my drink and dessert, but I know prices are really volatile in these crazy times, and the price discrepancies were small.

The great reviews, high rating, and photos really sealed the deal. Any coffee shop with that much greenery is going to catch my attention. I had to give them a try. I arrived around 10 am, found a free parking spot right across the street, and was able to place my order and grab a seat just before a big rush of people came in. Seriously, within 20 minutes the place was packed. And it didn't take long for me to understand why. The feeling of community was contagious. From the local art on the walls and free board games to the cozy seating and friendly staff, this place was totally my vibe. I was able to connect to their free wifi with ease and got a lot of work done while I was there. Now, I'm always a sucker for seasonal latte and the Honey Snow Melt did just the trick. In a nutshell it was a salted honey pistachio latte (I got it with oat milk) and it was creamy with a very subtle flavor. I was really into it. I also grabbed a bagel, which was pretty basic, but it was just what I needed to hold me over until lunch. Throw in the friendly service and it's no wonder this place is a winner. Until next time...

What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.
