This place has been on my list forever and I finally stopped by when they were open. It's a tiny place on a corner in Tremont so street parking. I came on a mission to try one of their sandwiches and I was not disappointed. I got #47: California turkey, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, mozzarella and garlic sun-dried tomato mayo. D.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s. Also it was huge so I had essentially half for lunch DNA half for dinner. I'd highly recommend this place! read more

Love this place! Solid sandwiches at a great price, good bang for your buck. I have usually gotten the Southwestern sandwich, which I've loved. The sandwich is sizeable and comes with chips, which is a great deal. I have tried some of the cold sides (pasta salad, etc.) which I have found tasty as well. Although I don't think you can order online, you can call ahead to place an order. They have a large back room with seating, as well as some barstools overlooking the street while you're waiting. One of my favorite sandwich spots in Cleveland! read more

I occasionally come here for lunch and always have a good experience. The vibe is casual and has that cozy, mom-and-pop feel. You order at the counter and then grab a seat wherever you like. The ordering area is pretty small, so if a few people are waiting, it can feel a bit tight and awkward--but it's nothing unmanageable. I've tried two of their subs so far--the Southwestern Turkey (#47) and the Roast Beef (#53)--and both were delicious. They do go a little heavy on the sauces for my taste, but that's just a preference thing. If you like things saucy, you'll love it. Otherwise, maybe ask for a light sauce when you order. Overall, great sandwiches, super friendly staff, and a laid-back atmosphere. A solid lunch spot. read more

Such a low key, quick service deli with sandwiches that WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. I like 43 and 45. 43 has artichokes and turkey and is served panini style. 45 is a spicy southwest turkey. Chips come with the sandwiches, they have sides and sodas and teas for purchase and this is the ideal quick lunch spot. I also tried the rice crispy with butterfinger topping and it hit the spot. read more

It was the day after Christmas and almost everything in Tremont was closed. We were just about to give up and go somewhere else when we came across La Bodega. We were welcomed with a warm environment and happy employees willing to serve! The menu is incredibly long with so many options!! My fiancé ordered the 44 and I ordered the 63. Both were delicious and incredibly flavorful! We ate them in the little back room area and got to enjoy chips and a bottle of soda as well. Overall La Bodega is a fantastic sub shop, I highly recommend! read more

Decided to give the place a shot for lunch today. I ordered the #45 the Southwestern Sub and it didn't disappoint. The different flavor combination with the Turkey, bacons, peppers etc. paired very well with the Cajun Mayo. Sandwich had a nice kick to it but not to spicy. My negative is the sand which is toasted so you have a nice warm crunchy bread to bite into but the Turkey was room temperature. Would have been better served hot or cold, didn't like the luke-warm combination. Definitely worth going to. read more

Great little corner sandwich place. It has less than a corner store, but also offers more than a corner store. Have I confused you? Good. This isn't a typical local corner store, they don't have a wall of chips and drinks you can pick from. But it isn't really a deli either, because again, it doesn't have a market! So don't take the name literally. But what it does have is a nice array of sandwich options. And salad. Plus some soups. A sandwich order comes with chips on the side. The sandwiches are actually pretty big and substantial. So it isn't a five dollar foot long but it will definitely fill you up with quality ingredients that SUBWAY COULD NEVER. The specials are worth your perusal. I ended up ordering one, it was some sort of a grilled cheese. It had walnuts and blue cheese in it. I liked it! I've never had any walnuts in a sandwich before, so I think points for creativity are well deserved. The place is a little tight if you want to stay. Also they are limited on the menu... so if you're going to head here, you need to be specifically going to eat a sandwich. read more

They came out to ask how everything was tasting and if we needed anything. The bread too was amazing. Normally the sub rolls are too dried out or over crunchy hard to eat, but they had incredibly good sub bread for the sandwich. read more

La Bodega is one of those places that I always meant to visit. Now that I've done it, I feel dumb I haven't been eating here sooner. Tucked on the corner of Jefferson Avenue are some of the tastiest, most affordable sandwiches in the area. I was just telling a friend recently that I spend a lot of time in Tremont, but I'm not always up for the expensive fine dining. Enter: La Bodega. My new favorite. Yes, as others stated, this is a small sandwich shop. But really, does one need a Marie Antoinette style seating arrangement for sandwiches? No. Just grab a seat in the cozy back area adorned with local art or settle outside on one of the small bistro tables. La Bodega has a huge menu (see my photos!) with plenty of options for all dietary restrictions and taste buds. But not to mention, their menu is just crave-worthy! I'm not one of those people who ever *craves* a sandwich, but La Bodega changed my mind. I had the #30 Chicken Salad wrap with Lemon-Almond, Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion. It was huge and delicious. This chicken salad felt healthy, had a great lemon/almond flavor, and had me full for hours. I forget the number (#46?), but my friend loved his pizza style sub. Oh, and on the way out, the owner (I think), said, "Have a great day, thanks for coming in, Lauren." Now, 9/10, I usually introduce myself when I visit a new business. But on this day, it was a million degrees, I probably looked crazy and was slightly grumpy, so i'm not even sure if I introduced myself. It caught me off guard in the best way possible. What nice people! I'll be back very soon! read more

The food here is good. A little bit on the pricey side for a sandwich/sub. The options around Tremont are slim for a quick bite to grab on the go. The sandwiches are heated on a panini grill.

La bodega is one of my favorite places to go for a quick lunch!!! However, you have to know what to order when you come here. Their service is five stars. Accurate,Friendly and fast. That's all I need! The salads are five stars. If heaven created salads, they would taste like la bodega's. I love that they load their salad up with fixings. I typically get #51 or 52. But I'll talk to you about #52. I've never seen a salad with such generous portions of blue cheese, walnuts, cranberries and shredded chicken. The quality of the ingredients is awesome! The lettuce (and accompaniments) is always super fresh. Their wraps are also amazing. Any kind Chicken salad- you can't go wrong. Other sandwiches, like grilled cheese, I have not been very impressed with at all. I've also gotten tomato soup which tasted like tomato water with dried herbs. Two stars there. Moral of the story, you'll be rewarded for choosing the healthier salad option at this joint! I highly recommend! read more

I thought it was okay. I know it is so overused when you say a restaurant's staff is friendly but sometimes it's rare when you actually get a genuine smile and a little friendly small talk. The staff really seems friendly and nice, well the two that I'd encountered. It was about less of an hour of closing time and no one was there so I decided to get my sandwich to go. As I waited, I just wandered off to the back...the actual dining area, to be nosey. The set up is small (to me) and...don't know how to describe it...off or something. But anyway, I got my sandwich and headed home. My thoughts when I first pulled it out the bag was "wow, this is heavy" and when I opened it, "dang, this is a big sandwich" lol. Now you can choose the bread you want for the sandwich and I decided on the asiago cheese bread. To me it didn't really taste like it...more like just regular French bread or something, not asiago cheese. Didn't really manage to finish it because it was honestly too much...one half is just enough (side note: maybe they should sell half sandwiches). At the end, it was an okay sandwich, not eager for another visit but worth trying out again...much much later. read more

Everyone was so sweet and friendly in here. You can tell that they love what they are doing (they probably could have served me a pb&j on white bread and it would have tasted great.) I got the #52 which is a salad but they offered to make it into a wrap for me because I was in the mood for a handheld. It was delicious- pulled chicken, bleu cheese, cranberry, crisp lettuce. Yum!

My only grievance is the sauce--while delicious, there was SO much that there was a pool of it at the bottom of the bowl and some bites were overly salty. I highly recommend getting sauce on the side!!! There was indoor and outdoor seating and the store is located across from Lincoln Park. We enjoyed our lunch outside and took a nice walk after.

Bowl Of Pho

It's beautifully decorated, warm, and inviting without being over the top. We started with the Thai tea, and it's an absolute must. It's that perfect balance of strong black tea, sweetness, and creaminess--easily one of our favorite drinks and they nailed it here. For food, the beef pho was exactly what you want--rich, hearty, and super comforting. It came with a generous side of fresh condiments so you can customize each bite. We also tried the vermicelli with shrimp and pork, which was just as impressive. It was loaded with fresh veggies like cucumber, carrots, lettuce, and bean sprouts, plus crunchy peanuts and an incredibly flavorful fish sauce that tied everything together. Service was pretty fast even on a busy night, which we really appreciated. They also offer to-go cups for drinks--a small but thoughtful touch. Overall, everything felt fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

I ordered online and though was quoted 20 min, I got there really early and it was already ready! That was 9 minutes after I placed my order and that was over the lunch hour! So that was really impressive. I ordered the Chicken Noodle Pho and the Shrimp Garden Rolls. The rolls were fresh and quite generous with their size. Lived the peanut sauce that came with them as well. The sauce had actual peanut pieces in it as well. The Chicken Noodle Pho came in two containers - one was the broth and the other one had rice noodles, shredded chicken breast, thinly sliced green onion, and fried red onion. Served with fresh bean sprouts, jalapeño, basil, & lime. The broth was very flavorful and the serving size was generous! Highly recommend.

It's packed!

Con's: one of the soups I got was the roasted red pepper and cheddar. Though it had good flavor, I didn't taste much cheddar and found the soup to be kind of oily. The second soup I got was the potatoes, spinach, and Swiss.. this one was probably my least favorite. I felt like it was lacking flavor. Pros: the third soup I got was the wild mushroom soup if you like mushrooms, I highly recommend it was very delicious. I would definitely get this one again. Also, the bread that they give you it was so fluffy and soft that even with my dental work, I was able to eat it overall because I know they rotate soups. I will definitely try this place again.

But last week I was driving by and popped in to get two classic soups: cream of mushroom and chicken paprikas. Oh my goodness, oh my gosh. I think I could have either of these soups every day for the rest of my life and be fully content. Now, the place isn't very attractive and there is an odd maybe they sprayed for pests smell when you walk in, both of which is something I normally can't overlook, however, the service is quick and impeccable. Not only do you get soup, but you get the most delicious fresh bread and oyster, crackers, and butter if you want. And because the soup is so rich and creamy a 12 ounce serving will last a couple days. I love this place and truly believe that if they had a backer they could and should sell their soups nationwide. It's the best I've ever tasted.

I recently tried one of their daily specials soup, the 12 ounce size African peanut chicken soup ($6) in April 2026 and it was tasty. The African peanut chicken soup had a slight sweetness to it because of the peanut butter (or just peanuts added) but it was still edible. They also have an absolutely delicious Jambalaya soup that is a hearty option for when you are really hungry. Besides soups, they offer salads and Cleveland Vegan cookies. The cookies are $3 a piece.

I wasn't sure what to order since there were so many good choices on the menu. We decided to get a few items and share. We order the chicken satay and Siam rolls. Both came out fresh with sauces to dip. Chicken was moist and delicious. I also tried the seafood soup that was unique and had an interesting flavor that had chunks of seafood in the broth. For a main course we shared the basil fried rice. It said it was medium spice so we asked if we could get it less spicy. The rice had good flavor and was filled with lots of vegetables, egg and shrimp. For dessert we went with the fried ice cream and it was the cherry on top for the evening.

The experience from greeting, to service, to our meal was excellent. Our group ordered the Carbonara - very solid, the daily special which was homemade linguini with mussels/shrimp/scallops and lobster, which was excellent, the branzino - which was excellent, the swordfish special - very good and the braciole, which was super. We shared the buffalo mozzarella and sauteed calamari as apps, both of which were very, very good. No desert for us, but for espresso. which was not bitter and piping hot.

We shared the loco moski, paprikash sandwich, and a side of bacon wrapped tots (good option if you just want 2 and not the full appetizer). While the bacon wrapped tots are famous from Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, I actually liked the loco moski and paprikash sandwich more. The loco moski is a fun combination between a loco moco but with pierogi, and I like that the peppered gravy wasn't too rich. The paprikash sandwich was also a great combo of chicken, sausage, peppers, cheese, paprikash, on lightly crispy bread. Parking available as free street parking--though you may have to circle to find parking since it's near the Christmas House. Staff were nice and efficient. The place does feel a little tight in terms of space with less lighting, but there's still plenty of seating and what matters to me more is good food. Overall, great place to try local food. Would get the loco moski and paprikash sandwich again.

I wanted to try the pierogi and the Polish boy and the KRAUT and having an extensive beer menu doesn't hurt either. Friendly neighborhood watering hole literally on the corner and basically across the street from the a Christmas story house allowing you to eat within eye sight of the leg lamp. I wanted basically everything from the menu that came vegan (spoiler alert there are tons and tons of things) but gastric space comes at a premium on vacation so we settled on the fried cheese. I was very excited to see the Polish boy (and vegan option no less) I didn't have much of a choice. GF ordered the vegan pierogi platter with vegan kielbasa on a bed of kraut. Firstly the fried cheese was head and shoulders above any mozz sticks or anything of the sort that I have had in memory. The breading is seasoned and crispy and heaven on earth. The cheese is PIPING. Like you will burn yourself if you, like me, have no patience. The accompanying tomato sauce is also steaming. So good. The Polish boy was also in a league of its own. Love that they have a vegan version. What a combo. Probably one of Cleveland's most important community contributions. We ordered the latkes to go and they were orgasmic. What a special place.

I started with the Blackberry Hibiscus Margarita, which was light, refreshing, and a great way to kick off the evening. We shared the Avo Trio with guacamole, queso, and salsa. The salsa wasn't my favorite, but the guacamole was honestly some of the best I've ever had, and the queso was excellent. At $20, it felt a little pricey, but the portion was generous enough for sharing. For my entrée, I ordered the Pollo Ala Crema, thin slices of sautéed chicken breast with cream sauce, Spanish rice, grilled corn, Brussels sprouts, a crispy corn cake, aji verde, and crumbled bacon. It was a unique combination of flavors that worked really well together, and I enjoyed the dish overall. Parking is available on the street, or after 6 p.m. you can park in the lot adjacent to the restaurant and pay through the mobile app, which was convenient. Overall, I had a good meal and enjoyed the atmosphere. While everything was solid, I'm not sure I'd make a special trip back with so many great Mexican restaurants in the area that I still want to try.
