Cleveland Vegan
17112 Detroit Ave, Lakewood, OH
Crema's Take
“This Lakewood spot has earned its stellar reputation as a destination for thoughtfully crafted vegan cuisine that doesn't feel like a compromise—think gyros and French dips with the same satisfying heft as their non-vegan counterparts, plus Caesar salads with vegan dressing that tastes indistinguishable from the original. Beyond the impressive kitchen, they've created a genuinely welcoming atmosphere where families linger over overnight oats and coffee, pastries in hand, making it the kind of place regulars visit repeatedly and even order takeout from when they're craving that specific comfort. It's the rare restaurant where both dedicated vegans and curious newcomers leave equally impressed by the food and the care that goes into every dish.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This spot never disappoints. We visit often—and even order takeout—because nowhere else in Cleveland comes close to offering vegan and gluten-free dishes as flavorful and satisfying as those from Cleveland Vegan. We’ve tried other vegan restaurants, but none compare when it…
Had a taste for a gyro and remembered where to get one. oh my it was so good, I wanted to take half of it home cause of the size but once I started eating it I ate it all up😉. I got my with a side of cashew cheese sauce and extra tzatziki sauce 🤤. I definitely will be back.…
