Cleveland Vegan

☆
Vegan Bakery $$
🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿5/5
📍 17112 Detroit Ave, Lakewood, OH 44107

Cleveland Vegan is the city's flagship plant-based spot, and it earns that title daily. The bakery items are outstanding — the scones and muffins sell out for good reason — and the savory menu is equally impressive. The brunch here is a Cleveland institution.

Flaming Ice Cube

Vegan International $$
🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿5/5
📍 6502 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH 44102

Flaming Ice Cube is everything a neighborhood vegan restaurant should be: creative, welcoming, and consistently delicious. The rotating specials keep things interesting, and the international influences keep the menu unpredictable in the best way.
