I am in my acai bowl phase of my life at the moment. But it is an expensive treat and I rarely seek…read moreit out. But I have heard good things of the new-ish Fruit Stand, located right by Cleveland's Playhouse Square, so I resigned to paying $13 bucks for a bowl of fruit and granola, and tried it out for lunch before a show in May 2026. This place was HOPPING at 12pm on Sunday in May 2026. And the music they had on were all early-2000s BOPS! It is also very instagram-friendly inside. If I had more time, I would have gotten better pictures. The young girl behind the counter was very sweet and helped me create the best bowl for my mood that day. I ordered the medium acai bowl ($12) although I was worried if I was going to be able to finish it in time for the Broadway show I was going to next door. (Spoiler alert - I definitely finished it!). I got the mixed soft serve base of strawberry acai and peach soft serve. It had melted by the time I got to it as it was on the bottom. #life of a slow eater Then I got to choose 3 fruits. I chose banana slices, strawberries, and pineapple. As for the crunchy toppings, I got half and half of birthday cake granola (yes) and oreos (yes yes)! Then had honey as my drizzle. They were VERY generous with the honey! My creation looked gorgeous! I went and ate it quickly in their upstairs seating space and dealt with a little bit of a sugar crash later in the day! I wish they had some healthier crunchy and drizzle topping options! And my strawberry slices were still a bit frozen. But overall, I loved my lunch from The Fruit Salad. I wish I had had more time to enjoy it since I had to eat it really fast. Next time!!

The order was enough to share between two and it felt filling without being too dense of an order. Great flavors and their other options really allow you to mix and match across smoothies, salad bowls, wraps, and juices.

Coming from California, where the food scene is extremely competitive, it can be hard to find places in Cleveland that consistently deliver fresh, quality ingredients, but this spot has been a pleasant surprise so far. The only reason I'm docking one star is because I wish they opened earlier in the day. Also, the current hours listed on Yelp don't seem to be accurate, which unfortunately happens with a lot of Yelp listings. Other than that, I've had a great experience each time.

Puerto Rican Frappes!…read more New frappe is in town! Frappe Artesanal is a brand new Puerto Rican cafe! By new I mean that the grand opening sign and balloons are still up. Grand Opening was on June 2, 2025! Frappe Artesanal has another location in Kissimmee, FL, but ours is better! Why? As I learned, CLE location combines Paradise Cakes and Frappe Astesanal (double the sugar and fun!) Here's the scoop! The atmosphere at this cafe is very festive! Latin music is blasting outside! This cafe is a little humble takeout destination. There is very limited seating inside. There are pops of color in its menu and on its walls. Funky cupcake walls are so fun! The cafe is bilingual (Spanish-English) in terms of the menu and customer service. All guests at the cafe were Latin and super excited about this concept! Pricing seemed very reasonable compared to other similar eateries (although there are strange charges on the receipt). Customer service was friendly, they answered all of my curious questions about the new concept in a friendly manner. The cafe has many fun food and drink options - bowls, frappes (multiple categories including those containing coffee, fruits, chocolate, cookies, candy, and nuts), cheesecake bowls, Van Gogh drinks, and even keto smoothies! More importantly Dubai chocolate options - bowls, smoothies, and cups! CLE location sells a variety of products from Paradise Cakes. Those include tres leches and other sweets stored in the coolers. I learned that Paradise cakes are famous Puerto Rican treats around the city (also sold at Save A Lot and other locations). You can order right at the counter, the orders are prepared in the kitchen and available fairly quickly. My order: -Dubai Frappe ($8.63 with $1 processing fee for credit card use) - The base was strawberry slushie which seemed too watery and bland. I don't think that real strawberries were used. The ingredients were fire - chocolate lining, real pistachio, and pistachio base. The frappe was delicious. It gets even better at the bottom of the cup when you taste pistachio paste and pistachios. It's not a frappe (meaning coffee) in its traditional sense. I can't say that this was the best Dubai chocolate I've tried in our city, but it was very good. -Paradise Cakes Quesito Pastry ($6.49 with $1 processing fee for credit card use) - Flakey, glossy, super fresh pastry with cream cheese. It is beyond amazing! I could easily have many of these! The box had 6 pastries, so they're shareable. Very reasonable price! Cons: - No bathroom for customers to use - No outdoor or indoor comfy seating to sip frappes - Very overwhelming menu, so many choices. Check my photos of the menu or browse the menu at their FL location - Challenging parking in the area - No dedicated website for CLE (except Facebook - Frappe Artesanal Cleveland) - Confusing item charges (each of my receipts had 3 different taxes - 5.75%, 1.25%, 1%) As far as hours, I confirmed the following hours with the cafe: - Monday to Thursday 12:30-9:00pm - Friday and Saturday 12:30-10:30 - Sunday 12:30-9:00 Overall, I plan to come back to order more quesito pastries and try tres leches cakes! I also want to experience Van Gogh drinks! Oh, and more vibrant drinks!

I don't like added sugars in my smoothies or juices, and that includes other juices, like apple juice.

Their hummus is very tasty and makes a great side. Sometimes at restaurants I feel like the hummus is bland and a bit of a throwaway. But here it's absolutely worth getting. The service is quick and convenient. There's also parking in the back. The vibe is very cute and on a sunny day. It's lovely to sit by the front windows or out on the patio if the weather is nice enough. All in all, definitely a recommendation if you're in the area.
