Had been craving Leavened for a week and finally decided to give in. Only problem is it's near my…read moregym... so I got pastries after a workout session. Whatever. I'm so sad about this, but this was not my favorite experience at Leavened. Customer service was great of course but my selections fell short. I got a mushroom and ricotta croissant, which was fine. I forgot the ricotta was supposed to be there because it mostly tasted liked mushroom, but it was good. I also got the cinnamon monkey bread. This was not good. It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.

I think I've tried this place enough to finally declare it an overall disappointment. Today I tried…read morethe hoisin tofu sandwich. The bread was fresh and crusty, there were two small strips of tofu that had maybe been dribbled on by hoisin sauce at some point, some lettuce and jalapeño slices, and carrots. The sandwich was dry as a bone and a really sad empty version of a banh mi. The chocolate rye cookie I bought as a back up was thankfully still deliciously chocolatey and soft as usual. The guy at the register said the bread pudding still has a "cinnamon roll base, so it has orange in it" despite nothing in the sign denoting this awful addition to bread pudding and the fact that cinnamon rolls are not orange rolls. But I digress and I won't fight with a cashier over their poor decisions lol. Also got a cherry chocolate sourdough on impulse. Pray it is soft inside.

For my meal I ordered the Roast Beef Croustillant. I didn't like it as much as I'd hoped. I found that the baguette really took away from my enjoyment. The bread wasn't very pliable so it felt like I was fighting to take a bite each time. Overall the flavor was good. I'd go back to try other things in the menu.

A nice place to do just that is "Le Petit Triangle Cafe" on Fulton in Cleveland. It's a cute little French cafe with sidewalk dining and a nice country French menu. Perfect for a snack or a meal. My wife had an excellent herb omelette and I very much enjoyed my smoked salmon deviled eggs. We followed that with a Chia tea and a good cup of coffee, along with a shared lemon curd crepe. Almost everything was perfect. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 is really something they have no control over. However, it has a profound effect on the outside dining experience. Traffic on Fulton can get quite noisy, and that is unfortunate. Everything else was a pure pleasure. And the traffic problem is remedied simply by eating inside. I highly recommend you give them a visit. I'm quite sure you will enjoy.

I'm glad I found it on Yelp. Now I have to check out the one in Columbus. Upon entering, a host greeted us and said he would find a table for us, and that they charge $5 per person. We stopped at the bar to order drinks, then were shown to a table. I found Yahtzee so we played that for awhile. They have sooo many board games and 2 rooms full of people at tables. A lot of the games were unknown to me. My bourbon cocktail was great, and my boyf had a draft beer. I went looking for another board game or two and someone asked me if I needed any assistance. I said we liked Yahtzee, but wanted to try something new. He said give me a few minutes and I'll bring some to you. He was so incredibly nice and sat with us to get us started on one of the games he brought. He was also very patient. He even offered to get us refills from the bar. Actually, the whole staff was really nice. I would love to come back during another Cleveland trip.

The games are very well organized, and there's even a suggestions list on the wall. Not to leave out, the lights and art make for a fantasy cottage core immersive space. I love shrooms! But obvi, The main reason to come here is for the games. You want cat games? They got purrfect choices! Pandas? Uh-huh that have it! Racoons? You bandit believe it! Wanna watch your friends meeples get eaten by sharks? You can hear with Survior Island! Parks and Trails? Have no fear... they got it here! Criminal games? Allegedly they have them ;) They have so many, that it was overwhelming to choose. Prices are fair, with about a $5 fee/gamer, with set times of 3 hours max typically. I'm sure if it was empty and if they didn't have other resi's or a waitlist, you could hang longer, especially if you have an extra $5 or something... Weekends, espeically in the winter, will be more crowded so be aware if others make you nervous. I personally get nervous about gaming when others are around. My brain shuts down and I loose critical thinking skills necessary to win. And winning is life. Onward, the food was meh. I ordered the cheese flatbread 'Za, hoping to channel my inner teenage mutant ninja turtle and smash my fellow turtle completion. But the pizza was bland. It was like pita with cheese on. I'd say, go somewhere else and get food, and go here for the games and dranks. The latte was delicious, and I actually ordered a second. It was just the extra sweetness & energy boost I needed to crush my competition. You already know I like to check out the restrooms. They had two gender neutral large accessible restrooms, from what I discovered on my exploration, and they were clean, with adequate lighting and finishes. Parking is scattered across the street, but there's the large westside market lot available. With Mitchell's Icecream (yes the train was working at this one last time I went), Ohio City Burrito, and a plethora of options, you can't go wrong! Now, back to the games - I will say, some of the games are very advanced and will require extensive set up and knowledge on how to play. If there's game you're interested in playing, and you have little knowledge, I recommend looking up the rules first and checking out tutorial vids. Otherwise, you'll waste a lot of time figuring out the logistics. If you wanna go from bored to board games, I recommend this place!

My husband enjoyed his British shorthair tea. The staff was helpful with my order and informed me they were booked today. I will say you have to book ahead on their site to be able to go into the actual area to visit the cats. Since they are rescue cats they're timid so they don't approach people as much so the people I saw trying to pet them wouldn't really get the opportunity. It's a cute concept so I'll try another time.

CASH ONLY as of 8/9/2024!!!!…read more I've had an obsession with cubanos for years! I once spent an entire vacation in Sarasota just hitting up Cuban restaurants and eat all the cubanos I could. So once I found myself in the area on one of the few days Sabor Miami is open each week, I called in an order of a cubano sandwich ($12.50) and a cubano empanada ($3.50). They were ready in 15 minutes during which I looked around the restaurant's cute interior and themed merch for sale. I ate the sandwich immediately. This was one BIG honker of a sandwich! It kept me full for hours! The bread was toasted and incredible and the pork was tender and salty. The cheese was a bit too processed and of low quality, unfortunately. Meanwhile, the empanada is very small. For $3.50, I was expecting something bigger and stuffed with more filling. This was going to be my dinner (so I ate it a few hours after I ordered it) but ended up just being an afternoon snack. It was tasty though! I wouldn't mind having the sandwich again, that's for sure! The staff was also very friendly.

Favorites include their savory baked goods and cookies When it comes to lattes, so far I've liked their cinnamon brown sugar, and seasonal matchas (the coconut matcha a couple months back was good). It's good as dine-in (plenty of seating inside and outside, though still quite full on the weekends) and as take-out. Plenty of free parking available in a lot. Staff are friendly. Also last month I tried their restaurant week special (includes latte, panini, and choice of cookie or macaron). Ended up choosing the brown sugar latte (opted for oat milk), corned beef panini and gingerbread molasses cookie. All were good, the favorite and definitely would get again would be the latte. Also if you use the too good to go app, I love their bags (such a good variety with amazing value) which sell out in minutes. Definitely in my list of regular places to stop by.

If I were rating the food alone, it would be five stars. Last week I got a chocolate cookie with…read moresome sea salt on top (forget what the official name of the cookie is) and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since! I also got a cake slice- this was a square shaped slice (not their layer cake). My boyfriend loved it! But unfortunately I did not get to enjoy any of it because it was filled with a berry which I am allergic to. This was not indicated on the title card for the product. With these baked goods being high quality, they are on the more expensive side. So I was disappointed to spend money on something that I couldn't even eat. I realize that I probably should've asked but the food I was buying when I viewed it from the display case but this didn't cross my mind because the cake slice didn't seem to be an item that would have a filling. I would really like to try their cupcakes at some point... but do those have fillings too? I know I can ask but I have three severe food allergies and it just bothers me that the information I need isn't readily available. Especially in a place like this because it's very loud! Can be hard to communicate with the team members even during a non-busy time. Not just because of the way sound works in this building but also thanks to how high they crank up the music. TLDR: The baked goods are INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to go back for more. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be an allergy safe place at this point (display case labels are lacking) and it's very loud. When I tried to go back just yesterday the line was out the door and it was so loud that I almost got a migraine, so I had to leave and go somewhere else.
