One of my absolute favorite spots to grab a burger & beer! The ‘Good One' is truly that good. Pro tip: if it's just two of you, split a Good One & an order of wings (dad's hot or tavern are the best, imo).
Good Company
Beer
Great for: relaxed vibe or pre-baseball. Beers are diverse (and excellent!), snacks and pizza are incredible! We love it here - a great Cleveland brewery!
Masthead Brewing Co.
I love beer, therefore I love Noble Beast. Beers are awesome, bartenders are great, and food does not miss (get the nachos!). One of our favorite Friday night or Saturday afternoon hangs.
Noble Beast Brewing Co.
A Cleveland staple! If you find yourself in CLE around the holiday months, I recommend stopping in for a Christmas Ale -- but only one!
We just had my birthday dinner here and the experience was incredible! They suggested an amazing wine, the food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional! Highly recommend if you're looking for an a wine & dined experience, or just elevate...
L'Albatros
A great Lakewood staple that offers casual (delicious) Italian. We love this spot! Great patio!
It's a Sunday tradition in our household to stop for a weekend baked good, and Blackbird is high on our list of haunts! Their focaccia and almost croissants are both incredible! They also serve coffee and teas, and have lots of seating! So it's a gre...
Blackbird Baking Company
They offer a must more limited selection of baked goods, but they have quite an extensive selection of bread! This is another Sunday stop for us – during the winter months especially, as it's a great side to soups and hearty stews! Yum!
Breadsmith
If you live in the greater Cleveland area and haven't been to KB Confections, I honestly wonder what you're doing. Their macrons are the best in the city, and they have the BEST (hands down, BEST) cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. I die. We ...
K B Confections
I have only had the satisfaction of eating Slices cheesecake, but I have yet to actually go to their shop. Their cheesecake is easily one of the most incredible things I've eaten. So good!
Slices Fabulous Cakes
Leavened is not only a vibe, but it's a delicious vibe. They're doing something special over there, and I hope they never quit. We don't stop there often – as it's out of our typical 5 mile radius – but when we do, it's surely a treat! If you find yo...
Leavened
I had to include, simply because it's a Cleveland staple! Stop in and grab yourself a cannoli….or two!
Presti's Bakery
Don't ask any questions, just go and go early. You're welcome.
Terrapin Bakery
If you're looking for that classic donut diner vibe, look no further! A Lakewood staple, Doughnut Pantry is another local bakery that we frequent often! Great for grabbing a dozen for the office, or just taking one home to your sweetie.
Doughnut Pantry
Ice Cream
A Cleveland must! There are locations all across the city, however the Ohio City location is also their packaging facility, so you can watch the workers mix and pack the containers! It's pretty neat! They serve regular ice cream and vegan flavors.
Mitchell's Ice Cream
Ugh. My absolute favorite summer snack is a vanilla cone from East Coast. Their ice cream is made from – you guessed it – custard, so it's extra thick and delicious! Bonus: they also serve vegan flavors!
East Coast Custard
Mason's is incredible! It's a great alternative to Mitchell's, as they offer some alternative flavors (like honey cornbread, mmmm) and have a wider selection of vegan flavors to choose from!
