    Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash
    Anderson R.

    Our yearly get together for my cousin's birthday NEVER disappoints! The service was much more organized than usual, we got a table for 10 in about 5 minutes. The dining space is bright with an abundance of natural light pouring in! The space is simple yet inviting with light colored wood and muted tones. The food was a highlight, as I got a special (deviating from my usual huevos rancheros) which was a great choice! Chimichuri steak and egg hash! They also were very accommodating for my partners dairy allergy, and removed the feta from her omelet. Came for the family, stayed for the bottomless hot coffee!

    Healthy Turkey
    Mari T.

    I got the healthy turkey for lunch with my colleague. The service was not great. My toast was dry with no butter and the table was sticky. Maybe I didn't get the right thing and something a bit more traditional and heartier would have tasted better. The only reason I ate here was because Dave's cosmic subs were closed.

    Avocado toast  and potatoes.

    Great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch! Great coffee and bread and a wonderful fall menu! They have an awesome selection of items and definite crowd pleasers. Sweet items and savory as well as classic breakfast choices. It has a nice, clean kitchen-esque farm house vibes.

    Food: 5/5 stars Service: 2/5 stars Ambiance: 2/5 stars We ordered the Eggs Benedict, the "Healthy Turkey," and the Sunrise Granola Bowl, plus coffee and a mimosa. The food and drinks were OUTSTANDING. Absolutely delicious. I'm still thinking about it all hours later. I drink coffee black, and the coffee was superb. Portions were okay, probably a tad on the small side. I'm glad we each got our own meal, plus the Granola Bowl to share. Service was meh. Hostess wasn't at the stand when we came in, and no smile or friendliness when she arrived. Our waiter was kind; but, he disappeared a lot and we had to ask for things like water and the check. It wasn't very busy at all (dined in late on a Wednesday morning) but we felt forgotten about a lot of the time. Ambiance-wise, despite it not being super busy, it was still loud-- the farmhouse/industrial style leaves nothing to absorb or distribute sound. My husband and I actually had trouble conversing across our little table. Table had not been wiped when we were seated, and there was trash at the table. But would we go back? Haha, yeah, most likely. The food and drinks were that good.

    Wrenley: "Bacon is delicious, Cheers"

    Erin was awesome, the food came out quick & hot. According to my grandboo the bacon was delicious!

    Tri-fecta excluded eggs and added seasoned potatoes. The potatoes are phenomenal.

    BARBACOA QUESADILLA BENEDICT
    Mary Lynn J.

    I had the seasonal Barbados quesadillas Benedict. OMG!!! Fabulous! It is: Two barbacoa quesadillas prepared quesabirriastyle, topped with poached cage-free eggs and covered with our Vera Cruz hollandaise, ranchero sauce and scallions. Served with seasoned black beans topped with housemade pico de gallo. I did ask that the poached eggs be done well but one was and the other was drippy. Nevertheless, I would definitely get this again. Oh, and the coffee is very good!

    Cold brew w cold foam and toffee.

    I'm visiting Crocker Park and my daughter recommended FW. First of all, the staff was incredibly nice. We sat outside and think three separate folks checked in w us. The food was spot on, I like that they have healthy options and you can clearly see the calories. The Healthy Turkey w egg whites was delish and my daughters Honey pecan salad looked amazing. We both tried the cold brew w fancy foam and it's nice and strong. I was a bit under the weather so grabbed a morning meditation w Immunity boost and it also was exactly what I needed. The full menu is decadent, so there will be plenty of temptations. Next time, I'm going pancakes.

    Chorizo omelette with a side of black beans
    Abeer H.

    We waited 30 min to get a table. It was worth the wait!! This place was fantastic. Our server Kennedy made our experience there even better. The food was delicious. I had the market veggie omelette... man this omelette was off the Richter good!!!! It has squash, onion mushroom, and goat cheese. They did not skimp on the veggies!!! The combo was crazy good. The house potatoes were delicious too. The pancakes I I was not impressed with but overall... this place is my new breakfast spot!!

    The service was awful we had to ask our server 3 times for water and it took over 20 minutes for her to bring it and we asked right when we ordered. If you get Gloria expect bad service. The food was great though.

    Cafe Blanc is absolutely adorable. One of the most gorgeous and insta-worthy coffee shops I've ever…read morebeen to. It's also much larger than I expected and has a lovely patio out front with lots of tables. They have a large food menu with typical cafe eats as well as dinner entrees. I came for lunch on a Friday and got a tiramisu iced coffee (very good), as well as a mushroom crepe. The crepe could have been a little hotter, but it was tasty and the drink was good. Can't wait to go back to try more drinks and pastries.

    I arrived and met 3 friends here on a weekday morning in May 2026 to work. We (2 guys and 2 ladies)…read moreall work remote so it was fun to meetup. We all visited Cafe Blanc for the first time and loved our experience especially the large (free) parking lot. We sat on the 2nd level towards the back. QUICK REVIEW (read this if you don't want to read this whole review): Try the potato pancakes. Great food and service. Slightly more elevated cafe. Busy during peak morning/afternoon hours and most likely less busy in the evenings. I have not been in the evening yet. Free parking lot and free wifi. FOOD - there are lots of food options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have sandwiches, salads, pizza, and pastries. I arrived around 10:20am so I wanted breakfast. I read that the croissants are okay but I haven't tried them. I ordered the potato pancakes, blueberry hibiscus tea (hot) as a dine-in order plus a slice of almond cake as a takeout order. The potato pancakes ($19) was delicious. It comes with 3 thick potato pancakes topped an egg on the center and with bacon bits spread all over. The potato pancakes also come with sour cream on the side which I didn't realize so I moved that to the side of my plate because I don't like or eat sour cream. I would order the potato pancakes again as a savory breakfast item but $19 is a little steep for the price. The blueberry hibiscus tea ($4) was a refreshing drink served on a mug. If you enjoy the combination of white tea leaves, rose hips, natural blueberry, and hibiscus then this tea is for you. I also ordered an almond cake slice ($6) but to go. The almond cake is a light and tasty cake with sliced/shaved almonds on top. SERVICE -- Friendly. Me and one of the shorter female employee had a nice laugh when I went down later in the day to order an almond cake. They started getting busy when I arrived after 10am on a weekday but I was able to walk right up to the front counter to order. The buzzer handed to me buzzed probably within 15-20 mins and I went down to get my order. I believe the tea that I ordered was ready first. Overall, I'll definitely be back. Prices are higher than a traditional cafe. The plus is that there is free wifi so it's a perfect spot to work on your laptop. The tables are big and the chairs are comfortable. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 99/250 total reviews in 2026 - 940 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

    5/5 STARS!!! NUMBER 1. NUMÉRO UNO!!…read more WOW, QAHWAH HOUSE COFFEE is the best coffee shop in Cleveland and this is coming from a non-coffee drinker. I tried their Jubani, a light roast coffee and it is out of this world. Out of all the Yemen-based coffee shops in Cleveland, QAHWAH HOUSE is my favourite. HISTORY -- They are the original YEMENI coffee shop that existed in the United States, the first. They offer premium Organic Coffee from an 8th generation family coffee farm in Yemen. Qahwah House brought their coffee from Yemen to the United States in 2017 and have grown ever since with locations in over 10 U.S. states. They have 2 locations right now in Columbus, Ohio and 1 location in Cleveland. They are still expanding across the U.S. AMBIANCE -- Chic and cute. Beautiful inside with lovely light fixtures, amazing pictures on the wall of their famers handling the coffee beans, and an overall great design. Right in the center of the coffee shop on the wall is a lovely map of the world that shows the distribution of coffee over the years. TEA/COFFEE -- Their coffee beans are hand picked by humans in Yemen and sun dried on the roof of houses. The beans are a green colour and they use an elaborate and specific process to grind/roast the coffee. I tried the Adeni tea which is excellent plus I asked for light sugar. Because I sat in store, the tea came in a tea pot plus a small cup for me to drink it with. The tea pot is a great idea because it has a small candle underneath it to keep the tea warm. I was given a sample of their Jubani coffee which I absolutely loved. The Jubani is a light roast coffee with ginger, cardamom and cinnamon. The Jubani is very good and I highly recommend it. I'm not a coffee drinker but the Jubani blew me away with the taste. PASTRIES -- They also sell different types of sweet and savory pastries. I got a tomato and olive pastry while I sat in and it was delicious. I also got the Sabaya ($5) which is a light pastry that is supposed to have butter inside but I didn't taste any butter. The Sabaya comes with a side of what appears to be honey or syrup. The Sabaya tasted dry but I only ate it later that night or the next evening (I didn't finish it). SERVICE -- is absolutely outstanding, in my opinion. Everyone that I met was super nice and friendly. Tony, I think that was his name, explained to be the process of how the coffee is roasted in this big machine that sits right at the entrance to the store. He showed me the coffee machine. He told me so many interesting facts about their coffee and about Qahwah House in general which I've already highlighted/written in this review. When I arrived and told them it was my first time here but I don't drink coffee, an hour and a half later or so, I was brought a sample of their Jubani coffee. I was surprised yet happy that they brought me a coffee sample plus I loved the Jubani coffee. With friendly and excellent service, amazing coffee and tea, good wifi, and plenty of tables/chairs, I will definitely be back.

I've come a few times now and everything I've gotten so far has been good. My favorite drinks are probably the pistachio latte, mofawar, adeni chai. There's a promotion May 1-14 (2026) with their special (black sesame latte) where you can get 50% off of you order off their app. There wasn't an issue ordering off the app, the only thing is that if you order off the app, you don't get the restaurant pager/buzzer so you may have to check in at the register to see if they got the order, which is what I did since it was pretty busy. Ended with the black sesame latte which was aesthetically pleasing like their other drinks--though warning if you don't like the gritty texture like all black sesame drinks are, then maybe this isn't for you. Pistachio latte is still my favorite, but maybe I'll try this again with regular sweetness instead of light. Parking available and free as it's in a strip mall. Staff are nice. Really comfortable sitting space, plenty of tables with people socializing or doing work. Just be warned that it may not be the best working environment at night when more people come to socialize and also celebrate special occasions. Overall solid cafe choice for drinks/sweets/environment. Always full of people when I visit.

As mentioned it small. Food is diner and good. Breakfast all day. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, soup. Menu isn't huge but it has the good stuff. I got a wrap with chicken, bacon, peppers, cheese, onions they were out of fresh cut fries and it was only 12:30p. So I got hash browns. Food came out in about 10 mins or so. It was good portion. My wrap was supposed to be to be grilled and it wasn't. Nor was it wrapped well. I had to rewrap it. Contents were falling out. It was good though. Hash browns good too. The staff seemed harried and stressed. So I am cutting them some slack on the score. Food is good. Prices are decent. Staff is trying. A few things they could clean up. It's a mom and pop place. You will get a good meal. Just be aware.
