Jake's
140 Public Sq, Cleveland, OH
Crema's Take
“Jake's feels caught between two versions of itself right now—recent changes have left regulars disappointed with smaller portions and higher prices, though the skeleton of what made it special (a solid Reuben, friendly staff, and that bodega-lunch-counter vibe) is still there. If you're a traditionalist looking for a quick sandwich and don't mind paying premium prices for inconsistent execution, it's worth a shot on a Saturday when other spots are closed. The real question is whether the new ownership will find its footing before loyal customers stop giving it chances.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Light food on the menu.

Thinking this place is under new ownership!! This place was the BOMB!! I went here to get my favorite sandwich, that cost 20$ and now Is very small, and the taste is totally different! The two men working are rude and mean! So Sad suck a nice place and now it’s went to He’ll!!…

We ordered two gyros. The lamb was average, but the chicken gyro was the worst food I’ve ever tasted in my life. It clearly not fresh, smelly, and off-tasting. Even my friend, who isn’t picky, couldn’t eat more than a third.
I paid $17 something for a cornbeef sandwich and it was terrible and it didn't come with a pickle and it's so small had to take some of bread off and it's still small, I'm very disappointed and upset I spent $34 something for two sandwich and that was waste of money, these…
Really amazing Reuben sandwich and friendly workers. It reminds me of my favorite bodega in New York City and was one of the few lunch spots open on Saturday in the area where I could get my hands on some classic Cleveland corned beef. The sandwich was loaded with very lean…
