Food was served warm and fresh. Baby back ribs were Excellent and not overcooked or reheated. Almond crusted fish was crunchy and thin, very disappointing for $22. Overall restaurant was clean and good atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking the boat docks.

Growing up in Lorain I always hoped for nicer restaurants with more creative menus and ingredients. This place gets top marks in my book. The beer is flavorful, the menu is relatable but trendy, and the service is friendly. Also, for social distancing, the sheer size of the place makes it easy. Every time I go home to visit the family, I'm sure to swing by here for a pint and walleye sandwich or cup of French onion soup.

One might think you are on the Cape but the parking lot strip mall gives it away. Emilie's is…read morelocated in the heart of Avon Lake, it's easy to get to central to neighborhoods and freeway access with plenty of cozy seating and a cute cafe style seating outside in the parking lot. One could easily spend the day at Emilie's, the perfect blend of caffeine, small plates, pastries and kitschy hats, candles and clothing for gifting or the perfect weekend set up. The baristas are pleasant, friendly and quick for the busy pace of walk-in traffic. We opted to sit down, with a chai, espresso and a cold brew, for quick eats we opted for two different toast pairings perfect for sharing so we each try the other, the lox toast with salmon, lemon dill cream cheese was fantastic, the toast was sturdy and crunchy holding up well for the heavy toppings. The avocado was good, I would add coarse salt and pepper if it was available l, definitely needed a kick with the avocado. My husband loved the nitro coals brew, the foam settled perfectly, he said it was the best in the area, which is high praise for someone who lives on black coffee and espresso. If you are looking for a local coffee spot, they offers wine too, cozy corners and family fun, yes there are quite a few kids in-house, then make Emilie's your next spot. Oh and leave the laptop at home on the weekends and evenings, tables turn over pretty quick

Paris Baguette, a French/Korean bakery chain, is very much like Tour les Jours to me, and I wanted…read moreto test to see which one of these self-serve bakery chains are better. My boyfriend and I liked Tous les Jours when we went to the Lyndhurst location when it opened about a year-ish ago. It wasn't perfect though and we had some minor quibbles. So while in the Avon area in July 2026, we stopped in for a snack. Inside, it is quite cute! Pretty packaging and lovely baked goods everywhere. Unfortunately, the women's restroom was a bit of a mess. The floor was a little dirty nd the toilet paper holder was busted up. But it wasn't terrible. This was just a snack break for the two of us, so we didn't order a ton. I got the coffee bun ($3.50) and a small korean iced milk coffee ($4.39). My bf got the smores croissant ($5.50) and a red bean bun ($3.10). His croissant was stuffed with marshmallow cream. He had fun eating it. My coffee bun was basically a brioche bun with a dusting of coffee. Call me basic, but I actually really loved it! Although, I gotta know how in the world was my korean iced coffee only 60 calories with all the half and half, whole milk, and syrup? It ended up being too sweet anyway but I did finish it because it cost me almost 5 bucks! I really liked my coffee bun and my bf enjoyed his red bean bun. He ended up wishing he had ordered the smores Belgian waffle instead of the croissant since the smores part of the croissant was only some icing on top of a regular croissant. Overall, I paid about $18 for 4 items, 2 of which we would order again. I liked the drinks at Tous les Jour better as well as the aesthetic, but my coffee bun was a real winner in the pastry department so we will call it a tie. We are glad we finally tried out Paris Baguette!

BUTTERY AND FLAKY PASTRIES!! Established in South Korea so this bakery consists of a mix of…read moreEuropean and Asian baked goods. I finally visited Paris Baguette in February 2026 and I arrived around 6:30am. They opened this Avon, Ohio location in June 2025. I visited a second time in March 2026. Paris Baguette is owned by a South Korean food group, much to my surprise. They only have about 2 locations in Paris, France. Most of their locations are in Asia (majority in South Korea). Other locations are in North America and Europe. ORDER -- Walk in and to your left are tongs and a tray. Pick out your items, place them on the try, then head to the counter to pay for them. Sit inside and enjoy the delicate bites or take your order to go. PASTRIES/BREAD -- Arrive early to get pastries because they normally sell out. They sell milk buns (bread) which is popular in Asia. There are a variety of pastries to choose from. During my 2 visits, I got the ham & cheese pastry ($5), Fruit Bite -- Raspberry ($3.00), a sweet potato pastry ($4) which I got for free because of their free pastry offer, and a pepperoni pastry ($5.69). All of the pastries that I ate were delicious. My favourites were the sweet potato pasty and the ham & cheese pastry. The sweet potato pastry is described as a "buttery twisted pastry with sweet potato and custard cream, sprinkled with black sesame seeds." -- this is a unique and tasty pastry. I noticed cakes for sale by the slice and whole cakes up at the counter. PRICES - Fair and standard. Yes, it will be expensive but that isn't surprising as most bakeries aren't cheap. The reviews complaining about prices should just be aware that this isn't a full asian bakery where the prices tend to be a bit lower. This is a mix of European and Asian. In addition, bakeries will not be cheap. SEATING -- This is a smaller cafe but there are about 7 tables and chairs to sit on plus a counter at the back to sit on. Overall, their baked goods are delicious and fresh plus the bakery is clean. Customer service has always been attentive and friendly. I'll definitely be back. The only downside is if you arrive late, you may not have any options left to choose from plus the baked goods may not be as fresh as evident from my 2nd visit in March 2026 when I arrived after 6:30pm and they only had a few pastry options left. TIP 1 -- If you order the ham & cheese pastry, just simple ask them to heat it up for a few seconds before you eat it which is what I did. Otherwise, it won't taste as good because it will be cold as their baked goods are placed in display cases all day. Who wants to eat cold ham and cheese? Not me (haha). TIP 2 -- Download their app to get a free pastry with a purchase. The less valued item will be free. The sweet potato pastry ($4) that I got was free when I visited in March 2026. If you don't want to download their app, I was handed a sheet of paper with discounts after I ordered so be sure to ask for it when you are paying for your items. I didn't even know about their app yet until after I received the piece of paper with discounts. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 61/250 total reviews in 2026 - 902 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 April 2026

Tree House is a wonderful, hidden treasure in Avon, Ohio. My bf and I basically stumbled upon this…read moregift shop/tea house while exploring the area in May 2026 and told ourselves that we would just check the place out. We ended up doing some serious window shopping and also got a very filling lunch here of tea, sandwiches, fruit, and kettle chips for about $55 after tax and tip. I could gush about how precious the whole place was, but if you have ever had afternoon tea in an old, historic home, then you get the idea. The menu has so many yummy options but we decided on getting tea and our own sandwich meal. I love sour cherry jam so I got the HammyJammy sandwich ($18) and my bf got a caprese sandwich with added chicken ($16 plus $4 for chicken) and we each got peach iced tea ($3). After about 15 minutes, our lovely server came back with the LARGEST PORTIONS EVER! Fortunately, we loved our food so having large portions of it made us both very happy campers. My ciabatta was fresh and crusty, the ham slices were thiccc, the bacon was fatty and salty, and the jam was generously applied. We also both recieved a good amount of fresh fruit and abive average kettle chips. Guys, the ham sandwich I got was so unbelievably good that I ate half there and then ate half very slowly at my home, enjoying every bite of the thiccccc ham, salty bacon, and generous swipe of sour cherry jam on the oversized ciabatta roll. My meal filled me up, of course, but I wish I would have ordered a half dozen more to eat for lunch every day this week. #soooobsessed. I can't think of anything negative to say. I really can't! While we didn't buy anything from the shop (I am trying to buy less stuff), we had a great time looking around, saw some fabulously unique items, and enjoyed a wonderful lunch together in a historic home. I only wish I lived closer!

It also happens to be an important lyric in the fourth movement of Beethoven 9. In any event, this place lived up to that. The location is off Lake Road and they have interior seating and a beautiful pergola during the warmer months. I sat on the pergola and enjoyed some beautiful background music. I had their salmon avocado toast that was honestly perfect. Normally with this type of toast it doesn't lend well to knife/fork action, but this was an exception! The toast was somehow crunch yet soft enough to be cut. The avocado was nice and salty, and the salmon was flavorful. The cherry tomatoes also added some nice contrast. I was told that the toast might be filling enough, and it could've been, but I had to try a crepe, so I got one! I was just about to go get some water from their water jar inside, but then without missing a beat, the server provided me with a water bottle. The blackberry crepe I ordered was super purple, colorful, and just as fun to eat as it was to look at. Overall, this is a wonderful find in Avon Lake, and it's worth a brunch stop for anyone interested in a quaint lakeside joint!

Both owners provided rude and poor customer service…read more Two owners treated me with disrespectful behavior and attitude. Despite being alone and ordering a coffee, I was minding my business and trying to enjoy my cup. The owners were disruptive because I moved to the limited window seat. The male owner approached me and asked how long I would be sitting there, despite having a reservation in 30 minutes. He then came back and said they arrived early and asked how long I was staying. His partner, possibly the wife, set a wooden table note with a time at the same time of beginning the conversation. I didn't move because I knew this behavior and lack of service were below even being poor quality. I heard one of them say they would possibly call the police. I don't know about you, but food and beverage quality from lack of poor service is unacceptable. I only made a mistake if I was charged dine-in tax, but I still didn't deserve this treatment. The male owner mocked me for going out to my car, which has no bearing on enjoying coffee or timelines. Word of mouth and reviews are everything to a business, and I read the reviews from prior patrons, which clearly show their unprofessional and uncaring attitude towards the community. I believe these two individuals need training in running a professional cafe. I will not be coming back here, and the coffee shop down the road, Love Coffee Roasters, is much better. The Love Coffee Roasters is a small business that prioritizes hard work, love, and passion. Elysium Cafe, Crepes,& More, however, disregards the community and individuals, providing a terrible experience. There are better businesses available.
