    I was finally excited to try out Pace Cafe! I've seen people posting it and it was sitting to long on my "to try" places. I got an iced latte and it was perfectly balanced between the vanilla flavoring and espresso. I also got a parfait, I will say the parfait was good but the yogurt was a little on the sour side. My sister got a hot latte and we both got bagels. They have a wide variety and the bagels I believe are made in house.

    This was another wonderful Yelp event. We were provided a drink and a cinnamon roll. I decided to have to have a cold brew as my drink.. The cold brew was very good. The glass the cold brew was served in made it much more appealing to me. I enjoyed my order while reading in the cafe. There were many people in and out while I was there. The Pace Cafe seems to be a popular neighborhood spot. It was a great spot for a Yelp event. The cafe is very comfortable and focuses on clean eating. The staff at the cafe were very friendly and helpful.

    Veggie Sandwich

    I hadn't been to Pace Cafe in a while and originally visited when they first opened. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have expanded their menu quite a bit. They offer a variety of bagel sandwiches and toasts, as well as build-your-own power bowls, açaí bowls and parfaits. I had a fabulous veggie sandwich on their homemade zatar bagel. I LOVE zatar season and have never had it in a bagel. This was awesome! They also offer a variety or house made coffee syrups and specialty drinks. I got the carrot cake syrup in my coffee. It was mildly flavored but really tasty. The atmosphere is perfect. It's super bright and inviting. There's a good amount of seating options and tables and it's not so busy that it becomes loud. Everyone is super friendly, especially Tony who answered all of my questions and made my sandwich. Pace Cafe may have just jumped a few spots on my favorite Cleveland coffee shops and I can't wait to return.

    Mixed Berry Fruit Parfait

    Starting with the good: the parfait was yummy! (How can a parfait be bad?) I was also told the bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was good. Now, the bagel had a nice flavor but (as you can see from my pic) it was really gummy. Not great I also was excited to get flavored cold foam with a cold brew. Even though on the menu it says cold brew latte - I really wasn't expecting half the drink to be cold foam :/ I like cold brew with cold foam over a regular latte because I can't handle that much milk - so I was honestly disappointed with the insane amount of cold foam. So beware! The workers were nice though! And it's a good spot to sit for a while. We went there to enjoy coffee & breakfast while planning some upcoming trips. One downside is that they had the music way too loud for comfort. If you are a nerd - my decibel meter was siting at 75 decibels. It was uncomfortable for a small space. Overall rating: 3.0/5 stars

    Such a cute café! The decor is so cozy, the menu items are reasonably priced, and the food was tasty. I tried the chicken salad sandwich and the cashew butter banana toast, both were scrumptious. The lattes were good as well. My one qualm is that the heat turned was up way too high inside the store, causing me to sweat while ordering and I ended up sitting outside. I also noticed quite a few flies at the counter and a bunch more in the bathroom.

    Delicious golden harvest bowl with well seasoned black pepper turmeric rice and delicious roasted veggies like beets. Added egg patty was a nice salty touch. Got a cinnamon roll ($7) w cashew butter ($0.50 extra I think). It was tough and kinda dry and therefore bad. Lots of interesting drink flavors available.

    Had a vanilla matcha - my first matcha so nothing to compare it to but was good. Nice atmosphere with couches and tables.

    The breakfast bowls and housemade bagels are delicious! I also enjoy their pour over coffee as well as specialty lattes such as chocolate covered strawberry. The soft neutral aesthetic with lively music also creates a great ambiance for either getting work done or chatting with a friend. I came here solo and had a great breakfast!

    Egg and cheese sandwich

    This place has a cute vibe, and loved my sandwich! Service is a bit slow, but I think that's kind of the idea. Hang out, have a coffee and stay a while. They have local bagels and I had an egg and cheese, that was hot with melty cheese. The vibe is fun, and I enjoyed it.

    Ceremonial Matcha Destination! I discovered Pace Café during Café Culture Club event/DJ set by DJ NicNacc. What a gem! This café is such an aesthetically pleasing place - airy, earthy, and cozy. There is plenty of natural light at this cafe and a large window overlooking lush greenery. It's a cafe for slow living. Pace Cafe is known for high-quality, organic, GMO-free, and seed-free eats. It's a perfect match for health-conscious eaters. They have scratch free kitchen which means it takes time and perfection to prepare every dish. The dishes and drinks are so worth the wait! Here's how the experience works. You order at the counter. Menus and specials are displayed. Don't miss the specials! Your order is called when it's ready or delivered to you. If you ordered more than one item, they'll each arrive separately. Meanwhile, you can lounge on comfy couches, sit at the table, or select a nice leather chair to recline on. I went a little over the top with my order since I was there awhile for an event. My order: - Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($6.50)- Ceremonial grade matcha with strawberry jam on the bottom. This matcha matcha is recommended all the time in the Facebook food groups, so I had to taste it! It's very smooth and subtly sweet. You can clearly taste strawberries! Easily the best in the city! - Pistachio Honey Bagel ($2.50) - New addition to the menu. I asked to add cream cheese. The bagel arrived toasted and drizzled in honey. I would love it if every single morning began with this bagel! Seriously good value and delicious! - Glow juice ($6) - Cold pressed juice with orange, carrot, lemon, and turmeric. It's well balanced and awakening. - BBQ #1 combo (available for this event only) - Special BBQ meal for the Memorial Day event. The meal included BBQ sliders and chicken salad ($14 + $4 up-charge for salad). My order was lost then found. I received 1.5 slide pieces. I wasn't a big fan of this combo especially grass fed beef. It seemed like not a good value for the price and was too dry. Service was ok. Considering how many guests were at the café, they handled the volume very well. I feel that service would be much more personalized on slow days. The café has cute merch such as branded coffee, reiki-infused tea, bath soaks, and artisan soaps. Also they have mesh totes, perfect for farmers market weekends. Browse the shelf at the front of the café to discover your treasures. I look forward to visiting again. I hope to experience more matcha choices! You should too!

    Outside Pace Cafe -- 4 March 2025

    I visited for the first time on an early morning, around 7:30am, on 4 March 2025. I was warmly greeted by the 2 owners. Pace Cafe opened about 5 months ago, in Autumn 2024. I actually met one of the owners, Ameen Khadair in July 2023 at the Lakewood Arts Festival. He had a booth at the festival for his company, Socially Raw, which are organic cold-press juices. Those juices and juice shots are sold here at Pace Cafe. I met the other Pace Cafe owner this morning, Sabrina Quinones, who is a business partner with Ameen. Both are very warm and kind. JUICES (5/5 - the BEST!!) -- I originally tried one of their cold press juices at the Lakewood Arts festival in summer 2023. Back then I got the Buster (orange, pineapple, lemon, and ginger). This morning, I bought the following juices: FORM (juice) -- 8oz cold-pressed organic juice (celery, cucumber, ginger, lemon) -- $6 // I took a risk and got this celery juice and it's definitely good for you but it's an acquired taste. It's a strong flavour but it is fresh. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it but I'm glad I tried a different flavour than what I'm used to. SHOTS (juice) -- Energizer wellness shot ($5) -- I bought the energizer shot which includes beets, lemon, and ginger /// I always love ginger shots so this beet shot was a refreshing one. I loved it. TEAS ($3) -- They use the Weetee brand which is an organic tea. I tried their green tea which was good but I added some sugar when I got home. Normally, I add honey to my tea. FOOD (4/5) -- They have the typical cafe options from breakfast and lunch sandwiches, muffins, bagels, etc. From previous reviews that I read, the muffin doesn't appear to be great but I plan to try it on another visit. This morning, I bought a breakfast sandwich with egg and Turkey bacon (without the cheese). There was only a sesame bagel available so I chose that one. The breakfast sandwich was good especially since the bagels are made fresh in-house. Overall, Pace Cafe is a cafe with healthy food and drink options that is owned by two passionate business partners. I'll certainly be back. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 43/365 total reviews in 2025 - 824 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 4 March 2025

    I would rate this place 5+ stars if I could. I absolutely LOVED it, and I can't wait to be back ! The service was a little slow as well, but that's where the negatives stop. I got the iced coffee which was TERRIFIC! I didn't even put in any milk/sweetener bc it was THAT GOOD! I'm still dreaming about it. I also tasted my mom's hot vanilla latte and it was equally as delicious!!! The freshly made bagels, OMG. I got the sea salt bagel and it was AMAZING. It was chewy but toasted perfectly. Wow. I'm salivating thinking about it. And they're made fresh in house every morning! I love the fact that this place has good ingredients, as I try my best to do the same. I could feel good about what I was putting into my body. And the vibe was great! Soothing and relaxing. Plenty of tables. (I'd maybe add a shade for the front area bc the sun is BRIGHT and TOASTY)

    Perfect juice drinks

    Amazing homemade gluten free bagels. Friendly service. Purchased some to go good for you drinks. Love the "awakening" one. They also do home deliveries for their juices within a 40 mile radius. I believe on Saturdays. Warm comfortable establishment.

I had never had Yemeni coffee before so I asked the barista for suggestions. Based on the fact that I wanted to also try one of their beautiful milk cakes (like a tres leches), I opted for the Mufawar coffee since he said it was less sweet and a bestseller. It was served on an adorable bamboo tray, piping hot and very strong! It had a unique flavor and paired well with my saffron milk cake. Yes...I said saffron. I was very hesitant to try this after he described saffron to me, so I actually got both saffron and biscoff milk cakes. Wow, this man knew his stuff! The saffron milk cake was absolutely scrumptious!!! And who doesn't love a biscoff cookie?! I had to take that one to go. I hope to return to Cleveland soon so I can try the pistachio latte (a sweeter coffee) and possibly a different flavor of milk cake. The coffee shop was quite large, bright, and tastefully decorated with lots of gold accents. I loved my experience there!

Although I have spent much of the past 23 years living in various places outside of both Cleveland and Ohio, I'm a born and raised East Side Clevelander. And whenever I resettle in the area, I always find myself gravitating back to Algebra Tea House for the good vibes. In the past several months that I have been visiting, I'm happy to see the place really feels like a cultural community hub and an outright neighborhood institution. Over the years, many unique small businesses that have shuttered operations in Coventry (China Treasure House, Big Fun, Record Revolution, La Cave du Vin), Cedar-Fairmount (Nighttown). I'm so happy to see that Algebra Tea House is thriving and continuing to create a unique and inviting environment for the neighborhood. I love the unpretentious and lo-fi atmosphere and operation. I love the DIY craftsmanship that permeates in every aspect of the business. The food and beverage options are also quite good. Although I haven't been around for many years, I think maybe there are more offerings on the menu these days. I especially love the vegetable stews on their chalkboard menu and the foul madamas (fava beans). Service is lo-fi and very casual. Just place your order at the counter.

I ended up going for that hummus sandwich (more of a wrap, really) and subbed tomatoes for black and green olives and got the cafe algebra to drink. My friend chose the white pizza and the hibiscus tea. Food came out pretty quickly and everything was good! The hummus was creamy and delicious and the harissa was great too...the olives were excellent as well! My friend enjoyed her pizza and the hibiscus tea was so flavorful. I wasn't a fan of the cafe algebra, but that was just personal preference. I will be back to try more of the menu for sure! Thank you, Algebra Tea House!

I've wanted to check this place out for a while so…read moreI schleped an hour here for dinner with friends in May 2026 so I could finally try this sort of new restaurant out! Parma Heights is so far, guys. So so far... So after fangirling over the lush, girly decor and taking ALL the pictures ever, my 5 friends and I ordered at the counter a bougie drink and a plate of food each. There's abundant seating in this two story cafe so we found a table and waited between 5 and 10 minutes for it all to be ready. Despite my goal to stop spending money on beverages, I spent $8 on a regular sized iced decaf carrot cake latte with almond milk. Delicious and definitely instagrammable, but RIP to my money. I regret not taking the lovely glass it was served to me in, but my conscious kicked in and I didn't pilfer it. Haha! For dinner, I originally wanted to get a pizza but changed my mind last minute due to it being 90 degrees outside. So instead, I got an italian panini with a side of potato chips ($14). I don't like mayo so asked that be taken off. The only sauces they have are mayo, hot sauce, and horseradish mayo. I got the horseradish mayo on the side, but didn't really use it. I hope they can add mustard and ketchup to their sauce lineup in the future. All in all, I spent about $24. All 6 of us had very instagramable food and drinks. They looked better than they tasted for the most part. I liked my drink and panini but didn't love it, especially for the price. My friends lavender lemon loaf was gorgeous, but sadly dry. I love the look, like the menu, and wish Cafe Blanc wasn't so outrageously far away! I'd love to get brunch here with my gal pals! I wanna get one of their dessert crepes, please and thank you!

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
