Earth Bistro Cafe

I’ve been here twice and I love this place! The owner is super nice and funny– really fun to talk with. We’ve gotten the black bean burger (homemade) and the toastada and they are both phenomenal! I highly recommend this place-​fresh, delicious healthy meals. Couldn’t ask for more. Will definitely be back again and again.

Went here for a lunch with a friend. Easily accessed from downtown Cleveland and it is right on the main drag in a little space that was quite comfortable. The menu was varied with lots of vegan options for a $ 1 up charge. Two of us had veggie panini sandwiches and the other had a vegan chicken pesto sandwich, both of which came with coleslaw and French fries. All of the items were delicious with lots of seasoning and great flavor. We also had the hummus with pita and crudités that was tasty. We finished off with a raw strawberry cheesecake that was to die for, a large portion and quite wholesome. We will definitely visit again the next time we are in town. If you are looking for good vegan/​vegetarian food in Cleveland, you should visit this place. The chef is a very pleasant man as well… friendly with great service.

This is a quaint little spot for vegetarian and vegan dining!
My food was incredible (I ordered a quesadilla) and their homemade potato salad and coleslaw was so good I was tempted to lick my plate clean. I’m a vegetarian, but the friend I went with ordered a Cuban sandwich that had pork on it — he thought it was delicious.
I forget which juice I ordered, but it was SO good I almost treated it like my dessert!
The food at Earthbound is 5 stars but the wait staff was a 1. Maybe I came at a bad time and got unlucky with a bad waitress — but I would definitely come back. Maybe I’ll try their take-​out next time because the food was delicious!

Tried this place for the first time today! This was the best food I’ve ate since recently going vegan. I had the Caribbean Veggie Tostadas and they were AMAZING! Definitely plan to eat here again with my husband! Great gluten free and vegan options.

A friend & I had lunch there yesterday. Food was outstanding! As we are both vegans it was wonderful to have such a big selection to choose from. The portions were huge we both brought leftovers home. That being said we both had to try their desserts. Delicious!!! The dining room is cozy & inviting. I’m looking forward to returning.

This place is awesome, especially for vegans and vegetarians. There are so many options to choose from and the staff are friendly.

Phenomal vegan and vegetarian options. Fantastic food. The dining space is quaint and homey. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Check this place out

Phenomenal. All of the ingredients were super fresh and all of the flavors blended together nicely. I wish I would have taken a photo of how beautiful the house salad was arranged. Very good deal on the house salad as well. $ 6 for a large portion and beautifully sliced avocado on top. The side salad comes with toast topped with a sun dried tomato tapenade that is to die for. I got the Vegan Burrito and my boyfriend, who is a meat-​eater, got the Veggie Burger. We were both thrilled with our selections and will definitely be back! I should add that this is the first new place I’ve tried in a while that I wasn’t disappointed. As a vegetarian, it’s not often that I find a menu with so many high-​vibrational options.

Great service and great food! we ordered the vegan specials, a buffalo chicken sandwich and a pierogi sandwich. Both came with potato salad and cole slaw on the side. While it sounds like a weird sandwich, I really liked the pierogis and sauerkraut sandwich. Would highly recommend this place. Their portions are huge, so plan accordingly if you want desert.

My girlfriend and I came here for lunch during a weekday. It was empty– which I think is weird being that it was so delightful! Our server was wonderful. She was friendly, helpful, and good-​humored. The atmosphere was wonderful, too. It’s earthy and modern. I loved the feel.
I’m a meat-​eater, but my date is vegetarian, and the selection was still perfect. Our sandwiches were delightful. The only reason I’ll give this 4 stars was the dessert. It tasted too obviously vegan, which to me wasn’t hitting the spot. Otherwise, I’ll definitely be back.

Wow! Great great. The food was so fresh and tasty .my wife enjoyed the Black bean burger and said the flavor was excellent. The portions are large and tasty. I had a Cuban panini and could barely finish it all. The potato salad had just the right amount of dill, as well as the flavor of the slaw was delicious. We will certainly come again.

We love this place! The food is awesome, service is always super friendly, the food is always awesome! LOVE the dill slaw and the potato salad! The specials are always awesome! The owner/​chef is SO creative! The tacos, tostadas, portobello panini, vegan gyro, piadina, the hummus wrap… I’ve never left Earth Bistro hungry, everything has always been awesome! They started making this vegan cheese sauce that is incredible! It tastes like smoked cheddar! And you HAVE to try the raw vegan cheesecake… If it’s not sold out!

Very good vegan menu. I had the black bean burger with slaw and potato salad. The potion was almost to big. Going to try the tofu burger next. Also they have many great options for the non vegan. Not much to look at from outside but great service and food on the inside. Great job!

I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but… my meal wasn’t good. At all. I appreciate that this restaurant offers extensive vegan options, but…
I stopped in on a Friday night for an early dinner. I used to frequent Truffles back in the day, and I was surprised to see that this café still looks like Truffles used to.
To start, I ordered the tofu wing special. I LOVE me some tofu wings, but these just weren’t good. The breading kept falling off, the tofu didn’t seem cooked, and the wing sauce just wasn’t my cup of tea. I also didn’t think the dipping sauce tasted like much.
Then I had the special — a sandwich with an olive tapenade, pickles, sprouts, and avocado. The best part of it was the tapenade. The flavors just didn’t work for me. I did also enjoy the pasta salad that came with my sandwich. The slaw? Not so much.
My fiancé liked his ham and mushroom sandwich. Still seems a little odd to me that a restaurant would serve 80% vegan food and then some meaty items, but… what do I know?

I am sad I moved out of the neighborhood. I was waiting for my final walk through of the old apartment and decided on carryout from Earth Bistro to take to my mom’s house after. On my first visit here, I had the veggie burrito with cactus slaw and it was delicious. This time around I had the house salad, black bean and quinoa burger and the Cuban. They were all great and tasted fresh. The people working here were very friendly. This is a great place for dine in or carryout that will serve both the vegan and meat eating people of Cleveland.

My family & I recently visited here after hearing the rave reviews of others & after having that well known flu that’s been taking people out left & right, I needed real food.
However, I mad a stupid mistake and misunderstood the menu– after ordering the sweet panini (I thought it included goat cheese & caramel sauce but it’s just goat milk caramel) I found myself disappointed… it needed the cheese! Although had I gotten it with bananas I might have felt differently. I also tried their Manasquan juice & found the carrots over powering but again, I just got over being sick– we all know things can taste funny when you’re not well so please don’t take my review too seriously.
The place itself is too adorable & our waitress was lovely. The rest of my family loved their food and all of us can’t wait to come back!

I have been to Earth Bistro a few times now and I am never disappointed. Very fresh healthier fare and the staff is always so nice and welcoming. I’ll be an ongoing frequent visitor for sure!

Earth Bistro is one of the best kept secrets in Cleveland. Phenomenal, fresh food. Tons of variety, and their menu caters to all: vegans to carnivores.
Service is friendly and the staff remember you.
The dining area is small and cozy.
Definitely don’t pass this place up!

Ever since I moved to the Lakewood area, I have passed Earth Bistro Café about a million times. Each time I thought to myself «I should probably check this place out.» Well, almost fourth months later: I finally stopped in.
This place is super unsuspecting. You would barely notice it walking by. The only reason I really did was because I once totally ate it outside and the people sitting on the patio got a good laugh (I use the word patio loosely here, because it’s really just some chairs and tables on the sidewalk.) Anyways, once you’re inside though it feels like a homey, hole-​in-​the-​wall. Definitely a hidden gem.
My friend Jill and I started our meal in shock of just how many vegan options they have. I am so used to going to restaurants that boast a «vegan» menu only to find they have only a small handful of vegan entrées. Earth Bistro Café has an entire menu of vegan and gluten-​free meals. We were so torn on what to get we ended up going with what other Unilocalers had recommended in their reviews. To start, we got their guacamole that came topped with pineapple and tomatoes and a side of pita and plantain chips. It. Was. Incredible (later that night I went to Giant Eagle to buy more guacamole because this stuff was good I found myself needing more. Needless to say the store-​bought wasn’t nearly as enjoyable.)
Next came the entrees. I ordered the vegan tacos and Jill got the black bean burger. Both of which were absolutely incredible. I don’t think I have ever tried vegan food this good. It was fresh, flavorful, filling, and most importantly: local. And to think it was a 5-​minute walk from my house this whole time. I’m so mad I didn’t start going sooner (though I’m sure my wallet is happy.)
I honestly don’t think anything that comes out of their kitchen could not be anything less than delicious. Every time the waiters/​waitresses would carry another meal out, every table would stare and simultaneously whisper to their friends «oh that looks so good!» I’m not kidding, this happened every single time.
Do yourself a favor and try Earth Bistro Café, vegan or not. The food is absolutely phenomenal.

This place serves amazingly fresh food. It has a tasty Cuban fusion flare. The menu is two sided with one side strictly vegan. I personally love the Portobello Panini with tofu. The décor is cozy and inviting, and the service is excellent.
