    Egg in purgatory with a side of hot sauce
    Regina M.

    Have I never reviewed this place?! One of my favorite daytime places in Ohio city and maybe all of the Cleveland area. Creative light fare dishes, feels very affordable for the caliber of quality. This place is fantastic to work in all day. Even better if you can have lunch with one of your best friends and a cocktail! Every guest is started off with a jar of water and a QR code that you can use to order or you can order at the bar. Using the QR code when working is so convenient. The interior is flawless, lots of old character paired with modern, alfresco design.

    My friend and I went over to Patron Saint Cafe + Bar after grabbing lunch nearby. It was a cute, quiet spot, and I can see why it was popular among workers and students. We helped ourselves to seats in front of the giant window and were handed menus right away by a server. My friend mentioned that spritzes were their specialties, and I noticed their expansive menu of them. I got the St. Germain Spritz with lychee flavors, and it was everything I wanted it to be. Sweet, refreshing, and fruity. I tried my friend's Spaghett's spritz. It was made with Miller High Life, which was interesting, but surprisingly good! The palate was so much different than my cocktail as it was more on the bitter side. Since we had finished lunch, I found it appropriate to get dessert at Patron Saint. We got the polar pear cake, which was an ice box cake made with pears and whipped ricotta. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, and the pears were poached perfectly. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ricotta. Maybe a sweetened mascarpone would've been a better alternative for me.

    Patron Saint Cafe + Bar is the equivalent to an Italian vacay without leaving CLE (Hingetown). The cafe is located at the historic Vitrolite building in Hingetown. Vitrolite used to be a manufacturer of glass and its tiles in the original showroom are well preserved in the space. It gives is an extra dash of character. I have been a fan girl of Patron Saint since it's been under construction and loved it so very much ever since it opened. AMBIANCE: Relaxed and always sunlit experience. Grandeur looking dining room with gorgeous arches and ample sunlight. The space has a bar, tables, and breakfast bar. Bottle shop is available with merch (like pastel tees) and wine. It's an ideal location for solo dining or dates. The Vitrolite also houses the Matriarchy (women-owned business space), Harness Cycle (trendy cycle studio), and Soul Space (lovely yoga studio). You can access these businesses right from the cafe. The building is in close proximity to other notable local landmarks like the Transformer Station. Patron Saint is a perfect stop after your yoga or cycling class. Or for a relaxed dinner. Or really for any occasion. I typically take myself on solo dates here, and love every minute. FOOD: I have been going to Patron Saint since its opening. I have been impressed with every single dish and drink here. Drinks are very well crafted. Food is a work of art. My favorites are egg in purgatory, croissants, and aperitivos. My friends rave about cortados and the olive cake. Literally, we had a group chat dedicated to Patron Saint's olive cake. It's that good! During my last visit I ordered Pork Meatballs ($16) and Stuffed Peppers Special ($6). Both very perfectly hearty small plates, the right amount of food. Pork meatballs were topped with thinly sliced veggies and the meat quality tasted top notch. Stuffed peppers were mini peppers with a bit of spice. I really enjoyed both. Specials are always available at Patron Saint. It's currently Negroni week. They host a fun Après Ski week during winter. Oyster nights are a thing here. There are constantly new surprises and specials. I love to explore new things on the menu. SERVICE: Service is excellent every single time. Staff is always very genuine, warm, and kind. It's surreal really. Staff also always recommends what's best on the menu, patiently answers your questions, and even creates something off the menu (like drinks). I love Patron Saint Cafe + Bar. It's easily in my top 5 local places. I almost always stop in while at Hingetown. I very highly recommend it. Personally, I'd love to co-work here next time with breakfast, top notch coffee and surrounded by sunlight.

    Brothy beans and pea/radish salad
    Jill F.

    What a gem! Needed to work outside the house and finally visited Patron Saint to sip and work on a Friday afternoon. The brothy beans and greens dish was absolutely delectable. Spring peas & radish was the perfect, fresh lemony accompaniment. We were wowed by the budino di novi for dessert. If you go to do some work, outlets are available at the bar and counter by the windows but not at the tables.

    Beautiful building with friendly service who answered all our questions. Fun decor and ambiance with a wide array of menu options. Wish where was more protein options to go with the cocktails and coffee though.

    Upon entering Patron Saint you immediately notice the beautiful architecture. The walls and ceiling could tell stories. Not having been there I ask a woman at the bar for assistance. Staff brought us menus and we ordered using the QR code on the table. You pay your bill and tip before getting your meal or you can choose to run a tab. We both ordered a meal and a coffee/coffee drink. Each item in our order was delivered to the table at a different time. My husband was finished with his meal before mine arrived at the table. My drip coffee came out quickly but the latte came out after we finished our meals. We had some questions about the menu. There was staff in and out of the dining room, but it seemed they were moving quickly and not checking on tables. The menu directs you to go to the bar for a refill of coffee if you would like. The food was good. Portions were on the smaller side. They had a wine sale and retail area. Overall it was an ok experience.

    House made specialty drinks
    Christa H.

    The ambiance of this tiny spot on Detroit is quaint, modern, and stylish. It's classy without being stuffy, and perfect for a girl's meet up or an intimate date night. There is a lovely bar, but also table seating. Large windows, muted pastels and warm woods with worn floors make you feel like this spot has been here for 100 years. (And it probably has, just not as a cafe) We enjoyed delicious house specialty drinks, and the meat platter with the chicken sausage stuffed peppers. This is a good place for small plates. There are entrees and salads as well, but we just went for some starters. Will definitely be back!

    Like the Room of Requirement, Patron Saint is whatever you need it to be, when you need it. Morning coffee and pastry? Check. Brunch with the girls? Check. Office for the day? Check. Post-work (or pre-work) drink? Check and check. The entrance is easy to miss, and parking around the area (Hingetown) is also hit or miss depending on the time of day. But it's almost always bustling in here, and for good reason. First come, first serve seating anywhere you like - from booths, tables, window counter, or bar. There are outlets located at the bar and counter, if you intend to make this your camp for the day. None of the chairs are particularly comfy but the atmosphere is so charming that it's easy to forget. One of the waitstaff will magically appear and drop off a QR code, menu, and bottle of water in short order. I'm a fan of the virtual order and pay system, which allows everyone in a group to pay their tab separately without the nonsense of calculating off a shared receipt. But this can be confusing to those who haven't used it before. This also is preferable for me as someone who prefers to avoid situations where waiters ask how everything is when I've just started chewing my food, but others may be put off by the "lack of attentiveness". I've only had pleasant interactions with the staff! Okay, so the drinks: mostly positive, with a few acquired tastes. Think lots of citrus, greens, and bread. Even many of the specialty coffee and cocktail drinks have some form of citrus. I'm a fan of the regular coffee drinks and cocktails, but have not bought into the orange and coffee combination yet. Some of the food and pastry items do run out, and things rotate seasonally. Olive Oil Cake is ultimate comfort food. From the savory menu - things are on the pricier side. The Greens + Beans are delightful, Eggs in Purgatory is like a mini shakshuka, and salads are oh-so-fresh. There's only one single occupancy restroom, but it's conveniently located next to a small wares section where you can admire some of the most tastefully curated collection (visually at least) of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Other giftables include Patron Saint merch, greeting cards, and specialty spices and candles.

    The place is amazing. The food is always exceptional and some seasonal options are always on the menu! Happy hour, wine nights, amazing service. I cannot say enough positive things. Ambiance is always pretty chill. I would definitely recommend the seasonal latte, broccoli sandwich, and carrots along with the croissant is my absolute favorite.

    October 2023 -- Continental Breakfast ($12) -- focaccia, fruit, cured meat, and 8-minute soft boiled egg
    Agnes I.

    You'll feel as if you have been teleported to a ITALIAN cafe when you step into this quaint cafe, close to the west side of Cleveland on the very outskirts of downtown. I visited Patron Saint Cafe in May 2023 before they opened because Harness Collective, who owns the building where Patron Saint is located, held a final fundraising event where participants could donate money and get a tour of Harness Cycle (spin studio), Soul Yoga, and Patron Saint. So, I got to see Patron Saint before the tables and chairs were put in and before it was painted. I visited again recently on a Saturday morning in October 2023 for a business meeting then again in early November in the afternoon to finish my work day there. I got to chat with the owner, Marie, when I visited alone in November and she is a joy to be around. AMBIANCE -- Inviting. I love the orange and gray ceiling colours. It's pretty noisy to work here on your laptop or even to read a book because the music is loud and was very loud when I visited around 3pm on a weekday afternoon. Nonetheless, it has a traditional cool and collected cafe vibe. FOOD -- I've tried their breakfast, a lunch item, and cake. During my business meeting in October, I ordered the Continental Breakfast ($12) -- focaccia, fruit, cured meat, and 8-minute soft boiled egg along with a cup of tea. The continental breakfast was delicious especially the focaccia bread. In early November 2023, I ordered the Roasted Squash $12 (delicata squash, lentil salad, burrata). I forgot this came with cheese which I don't really like so I removed the burrata from my plate. The lentils needed more flavour and seasoning but the squash tasted good. DRINKS -- I recommend the MOUNTAIN TEA ($5) which is a herbal tea with sage and mint and it was very refreshing. I don't drink COFFEE so I can't comment on that but they sell coffee. DESSERT -- The Olive Oil cake ($8) is OUT OF THIS WORLD good!! It's super sweet and delicious. It pairs perfectly with a hot cup of tea. It was too sweet to finish so I took about almost half back home with me. I took a photo of this cake but it did not attach directly to this review but you can still find it and view it here on Patron Saint's cafe Yelp business page. SERVICE -- Efficient and attentive. I highly recommend Patron Saint. It's a woman-owned local business that is new to town (opened in June 2023). This Italian-inspired cafe and Aperitivo Bar will definitely be the talk of the Hingetown / Ohio City neighbourhood for months to come. **** - 88/150 total reviews in 2023 - 639 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 December 2023

    Came for dinner, but probably better during the daylight hours. This space was beautifully converted from a 'tile showroom' to this quaint Italian style restaurant/cafe. The archways and high ceilings combined with the overall design give the traditional space a modern flair. They share the space with a cycle spin class on the other side of the building and a yoga studio. upstairs. They have a restroom available. Being on a ground floor makes for easy access for baby strollers to get through. There is only street parking available. No reservations accepted. It is walk-in only. Not sure if there is wifi, but someone was working on his laptop when we arrived. A server came by to notify us to scan the bar code and place an order on the app. She mentioned an apertivo menu that has a few small plates and drink specials. You also pay for the meal & tip via app. So, there is little interaction with the server. The app may be good for efficiency on a busy night, but it can be a bit awkward not having an actual server come by to explain the menu or answer any questions throughout dinner. We got up a few times to ask questions and request extra silverware. We tried all vegetarian options for dinner - including the roasted squash (good, but the lentils were bland and needed some seasoning), broccoli melt (surprisingly good - the sauce makes the sandwich), and chickpea piadina (good; sorta like a spanakopita, but made with pita bread and could have fresh mint?). The olive oil cake is phenomenal! That is a must order! The apertivo menu only has one vegetarian option, which is black pepper chips & a basic ricotta dip. So, we opted not to get that. Overall, decent food but could use a few enhancements. Serving sizes are on the smaller side. We ordered 2 broccoli melts between three people combined with the other items for dinner. Perhaps we could have gotten one more item to walk out stuffed. I prefer paper menus and more interaction with servers. The app was a little confusing to see if our order was placed and keeping track of what we ordered. Seated on the opposite side of the bar area, we felt a bit separated from serving staff and we weren't checked on as often as we normally would at other restaurants (especially considering it was a slow evening). I'd like to come back and try this place for a more casual breakfast/lunch experience. Definitely need to come back for another slice of the olive oil cake and try one of the lattes.

    Absolutely amazing food, so fresh and filling. The service was good and fast and it's so clean and cute inside. Got 3 things for $25 very good pricing for how good and fresh it tastes. So amazing!

    Spritz
    Blanche K.

    My favorite place to get work done in cleveland! Relaxing ambiance with ample seating, I love coming during the day and grabbing a caffeinated drink and a bite. They have a creative coffee menu with delicious all day bites. The eggs purgatory was amazing with a cheesy crusted bread, 10/10 would recommend. The best part is you can treat yourself to a spritz after finishing your work! They have contactless ordering system and the staff are super efficient and attentive, clearing away dishes shortly after they are done. Love the vibes

    I have never celebrated Dyngus Day before. In all honesty, I really don't know what Dyngus Day…read moreis...? But yesterday my wife and I decided to get involved with the festivities in Gorden Square/Battery Park. So on a brisk but sunny day we drove down to Battery Park in Cleveland and visited "All Saints Public House" for a tall glass of Guinness and a dish of Cabbage and Noodles topped with a Bratwurst. The Battery Park area is a wonderful part of town and a fun place to visit. "All Saints" is a great ethnic bar/restaurant. It's dark, moody, warm, full of awesome people, and just a great place to be. The lady and gentleman that waited on us were really great and made us feel right at home. We sat and talked and watched "Gone with the Wind", drank a wonderfully satisfying Guinness (on tap), and ate some of the best Cabbage and Noodles I've ever had, with an excellent Bratwurst on top. Turns out, Dyngus Day is a load of fun... and I'm still not sure what it is?

From the moment we walked in,…read moreeverything about this place felt like it was created with intention -- the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, the cocktail list was imaginative and playful, and the entire menu was a dream for anyone who loves elevated, creative vegan dining. We started with "snackeries" (adorable baby daiquiris) that set the tone perfectly: fun, clever, and delicious. Each dish that followed was layered with flavor, texture, and thoughtfulness -- the kind of food that makes you slow down and appreciate every bite. Not a single plate disappointed, which is rare even at the best restaurants. This isn't just "good vegan food." It's simply excellent food that happens to be vegan. The atmosphere is moody and intimate in the best way -- dim lighting, stylish interiors, and a hum that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto one of the city's best-kept secrets. The staff only add to that energy, striking the perfect balance between professional and genuinely friendly. And let's not forget one of the most underrated perks: free street parking right outside, which in any city is practically gold. We didn't have a reservation and lucked into seats at the bar (my preferred choice anyway). From that vantage point, we got to watch the bartenders work their magic, and it only enhanced the experience. Their cocktails aren't just drinks -- they're little works of art, and each one felt just as thoughtfully crafted as the food. This is one of those rare places I almost don't want to review because I selfishly want to keep it a secret. It's unique, unforgettable, and already has me planning a return trip to Cleveland just to sit at that bar again. Do yourself a favor: don't miss this gem.

We ordered beers and as luck would have it, I was able to order their last available rack of ribs for the evening (my go-to barbecue item)! We also got some beef brisket and a few sides to share. Overall the meats were tasty, but there were a few issues with the meal. The ribs had a nice dry rub seasoning on them and were quite tender. The brisket also had a good bark, but was a tad dry. In terms of available sauces, the Kansas City sauce was thick and tangy, but the Proof sauce was not good at all...I just could not put my finger on what about it I didn't like n its flavor profile. The coleslaw was shredded with vinegar and quite dry, the mac-n-cheese was only semi-gooey and the fries (although tasty) were limp from being undercooked. Bottom line was thumbs up on the meats and thumbs sideways (or down) on the sides. Wil most certainly give them another try as I am a BBQ junky, hoping the outcomes are slightly better.

    I visited for the first time for lunch in late October 2025 with friends. After lunch, we all went…read moredownstairs to play mini golf and we had so much fun. FOOD -- I ordered the Slow Braised Pork ($22) which includes sweet potato gnocchi, fennel, crispy sage, and apple cider glaze. This was a delicious and very hearty meal. I hardly eat pork so I'm glad that I enjoyed the dish. The sweet potato gnocchi was perfectly paired with the pork. Everything in the dish just blended well together. All my friends enjoyed their food too, from the meatballs, calamari, burger with fries, ratatouille, and more. I nibbled on a few of them and loved it especially the wagyu meatballs. The food was all full of flavour. Service was nice all afternoon as the server came to check on us a few times including refilling our water glasses. MINI GOLF -- Head downstairs to play some games. You pay a fee and are then given score sheets. A friend's friend had surprisingly paid for all of us and I had no idea until the next day (for some reason I thought the mini golf was included in the lunch cost...LOL). Each golf game has a different course with some being more challenging than others. I recommend Birdietown Mini Golf and Lounge for a fun day of mini golf plus lunch. I can see myself coming back again. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 48/250 total reviews in 2026 - 889 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 24 April 2026

    Went here on December 19 of 2025, so this review is a little late. We went for the happy hour mini…read moregolf and they were able to accommodate our group. We have 8-10 people so they just had us split into two, which was fine. The vibe was great, felt very upscale. My group mostly got mocktails. I felt like for just juice it was definitely over priced, because I felt like I was just drinking lemonade as we were playing mini golf. We only paid to play the upstairs holes, and it was good enough for us. We did not make a reservation for dinner which we regretted, but they were able to get us two tables in the downstairs area. Not a traditional seating, it was very comfy with one side being a booth and the otherwise having two comfy lounge chairs. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was large and delicious. The chicken was well fried and the bread was so good. The fries were good, but the aioli was 12/10, so so so good! The food did take some time to come, but they were busy and were kind enough to find a spot for us. I told the staff it was someone birthday in our group and they brought a special birthday dessert which we al tried and it was great. Their menu is worth the price and the vibe is definitely jeans and a nice shirt, or a casual dress. Perfect for date night or a birthday dinner, and I look forward to coming back. The TLDR: staff was really nice, food was great, mocktails a little expensive, and the mini golf was super fun.

    Stopped here for drinks and a bite to eat before heading to an event. Very nice place with a…read morerelaxing atmosphere. My smoked old-fashioned was made perfectly. The wait for the food order (which was delicious) was reasonable given there was a private event happening, although it did seem the bartender was stretched a little thin, taking care of the 6-7 people at the bar, making drinks for another area, and putting glasses away from a previous shift. I had the meatballs and an Italian chopped salad, both very good. Overall, it was a nice experience.

    The Ledger Bar is a small (I mean small) bar situated on the balcony that overlooks the…read moreMetropolitan at the 9's Hotel Lobby. Since the Metropolitan is home to an apartment complex, an upscale hotel, a rooftop bar, a dog park, a Pilates studio, a theater, a basement vault bar, and a "high-end" eatery, there's a whole lot of people constantly coming and going. Sitting at the four (five?) two-person tables situated right at the balcony railing means you can easily lean over and watch people come and go while sipping your drinks. Unlike the rest of the bars in the hotel, I was told there was no drink menu at the Ledger, and the bartender (who waited my table!) simply asked what flavor profile I was desiring tonight. The resulting drink he made was honestly good, and I really enjoyed it. Zero idea what was in it to ever order it again (and he was really overworked to ask!), but it was a neat experience of a "craft your own experience". There were a few beers on tap. I'm unsure about wine. Centro's food menu (restaurant downstairs) appears to be available here. There's a single unisex bathroom within steps of the bar, and the regular hotel lobby bathrooms are down a floor. As conference rooms are nearby this bar, I'd also probably guess there's a large conference room bathroom block too, but I didn't find that one. The rest of the bars and restaurants in the Metropolitan tend to take most of the attention here, and the Ledger has a much more laid-back, chill vibe. A lot of people were watching a sports game (baseball, I think?) on the TV behind me. With the smaller space and wide "open" area of the full lobby, the Ledger feels like your calmest, quietest bar option out of the available places at the Metropolitan.

I started with the popular soft serve margarita and was very pleased with it! Omg, the flavor was amazing and the texture was like a smooth sorbet. The tequila in the drink was not too strong at all. A great sweet treat for the summer! The restaurant was bright and inviting with very cute tiki tables. They have fun music videos playing throughout the day which is a nice touch as well. Very fun atmosphere for all ages. They also have an outside patio that I hope to visit this summer. For my meal I had the shrimp tacos which were delicious. The shrimp was fried in a tempura batter which paired very well with the slaw and sauce on the tacos. The side of rice was tasty too. A nice light and flavorful meal. I will be back soon for another soft serve margarita!

The shrimp was a bit rubbery. We were really looking forward to the hot Cheeto street corn but it had a really weird taste. I ate one bite and didn't want more. The fajita nachos were ok. Server was nice but I doubt I will be back. In a market saturated with Mexican spots you need to really stand out and this place is just mid. Not terrible but not remarkable.

It's a cute little place right near the lake with white brick walls, a casual atmosphere, and phenomenal service. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat right away. Our waitress truly went above and beyond for us, making our visit feel extra special!! Everything is so fresh here--they even make their own pretzels and sandwich bread from scratch! We shared a Soft Pretzel served with house-made brown butter cream cheese which was absolutely delicious. For mains, I got the Cheese Steak Dip and my husband got the Surf & Turf. Highly recommend checking them out!

We had a 30 minute wait, and this was expected on a Friday night. They called when the table was ready, and in the meantime you are able to walk around the area which is very nice. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice at first, and if you're seated in the front that would definitely be a high point of your experience, but we were seated not quite in the back (which in my opinion is way too dark) but at one of the tables between the kitchen prep section and the bathrooms. The entire meal was spent watching the employees roll utensils and people waiting for the bathrooms (which were covered in... sticky... substances). After ordering, and waiting an hour for the food to come (the appetizers we ordered were not brought out in that wait, nor did we see our server the entire time) the food was overcooked to the point my burger physically hurt to hold since it was rock hard and cutting into my palm. Everything was also incredibly salty.
