This place is awesome! I went to have lunch with some friends and one of their 4 year old daughters. It was very kid friendly, in that there was lots of background noise so the 4 year old could be loud if they needed. The Cobb salad was delicious and my friends raved about the Veggie Sandwich. Staff were eager to help and get us set up with what we needed. I will definitely be back to try more of the baked goods! read more

My daughter found this place, where we had lunch. Upon entering at around 1 PM on a Sunday, there was a pretty large crowd ordering and picking up their orders, but the line moved pretty quickly. I ordered the Salmon Salad sandwich, with a side of tabouli. My daughter got a tasty sandwich, flavored nicely with crisp bacon. I also had a bowl of gazpacho, which was delicious. Actually, everything was very good. I also bought some cookies to take with me, from a large counter of bakery items. All in all, a great find! Oh, and I actually got the soup for free, because the counter staff originally forgot to add it to my order, so she told me, "it's on the house"! read more

If you're looking for high quality food and a relaxed Atmosphere to dine in (or out in the back patio), be sure to visit The Stone Oven. It's a Cleveland Heights favorite among the locals and I always walk away satisfied and happy. I believe you will as well. I hope to see you there some time soon! read more

So glad I found this place! Very warm and cute inside, great coffee, service was friendly. I arrived pretty soon after opening and there was quickly a line, as I ate it got longer and longer. This was on a Saturday morning. But they get everyone through quickly and efficiently. My smallest one loved her ham and cheese croissant, it was so flaky and buttery- I don't even like ham and I enjoyed my stolen bites. My spinach feta quiche was very tasty but a little on the salty side. Loved the pumpkin scone- if you're like Larry David, this is a true scone, not to be confused with a muffin. Thick in the middle, crunchy corners, mild pumpkin spice flavors. The sourdough loaf we brought home was perfect. Love that you can walk to the library from here. Bonus. We will be back! read more

I love Stone Oven Bakery! It's always such a treat when I get to stop in and grab a few pastries. On this visit I got a glazed butter croissant and some type of cinnamon sugar bun I believe. Both were delicious and devoured in the car before I got to my destination. They are always well staffed so service is quick. Atmosphere is usually busy and lively, but a great place for a coffee/pastry meeting or to grab a breakfast. read more

I love the stone oven! The food is so good and fresh. I just recently started working in the area, and it was suggested that I go and try it out. I have probably eaten most things on the menu by now, but the curry chicken sandwich is my favorite. They have many pastries, sandwiches, salads, and soups; you name it, the place is excellent, with fresh bread and a small breakfast menu, but still very delicious. The service is always great, the people are always smiling and ready to help with a smile, and they are always suggesting new things, definitely a must try if you're new to the area read more

Rating applies to tea biscuits. Always loved Stone. I have been disappointed in the tea biscuits over the last several months. Not sure if it's the decrease in size ($) but the structure has changed and frequently are over cooked. Miss the previous iteration. read more

They were out of the Challah bread so 4 stars lol I got their egg sandwich with provolone, red peppers, and ham to go. The grilled bread was amazing, hardly any peppers I was a bit disappointed. Very open space with high and low top chairs. A few booths. They have stairs down to the patio out back, very cute. Staff was nice, I would go back to try their lunch sandwiches. read more

I am visiting family and friends in Cleveland. Had free time so grabbing lunch before seeing a movie. I was looking for a place to grab a salad. Walking into Stone Oven Bakery there was a short line, as I arrived during the lunch rush. The line quickly moved and cafe worker took my order. There are a lot of bakery, sandwich and salad options. I settled on the Chicken Romaine Salad. I also ordered an Iced Coffee. The coffee was ready right away while I waited a couple of minutes for my salad. The salad included a slice of fresh bread, which was delicious. Chicken, cucumbers, red peppers and croutons were stacked on the salad. It came wear balsamic vinaigrette. Everything worked well together and I enjoyed the salad. This is definitely a good stop if you are in the Cedar Lee area. I don't often come to this area but it is a nice spot. read more

This place has great pastries, the Russian tea biscuits are a super secret yummy thing to try but you need to come early to get some! They have solid coffee, tea and drinks hot and cold to complete their goodies. They also make hot breakfast sandwiches which look great. There is seating that is hightop or eight tables. And there's ample parking outside, which is close to the entrance. read more

This is a lovely quaint bakery. They make good sandwiches. If you are near by and need a snack or lunch, then yes pop in. I would not make a special trip. The bread was very soft and good. The meat and cheese are quality the side cold salad was good. Service: order at counter, not the most friendly. And you pick up your food and then bus your own table. read more

Stone Oven has wonderful food, lunch, breakfast, pastries, coffees. I've been a customer for many years and have always had a great experience in every way. Today was different- I went in to get a loaf of bread, around 3 pm on a Sunday. When I asked about getting a loaf I was told by one employee that the regular loaves were sold, the ones that were left were for making sandwiches, they said they would ask the manager if they could sell one. Another employee immediately added "It's probably going to be no". Rude, right? The first employee went and asked the manager, came back to me to let me know that the larger loaf is more expensive, and was that going to be okay. It was okay. I bought the larger more expensive loaf. Try to be a little bit nicer, I was asking for a product that you not only provide, but that is a huge part of your bakery. Maybe something like, "let me see what I can do". I wonder how many other customers are getting this kind of treatment. read more

I placed my order online and arrive 25 minutes later to pick it up, just a simple salad. After waiting patiently for 15 minutes, I asked the girl behind the counter whether they had an order for me and she said yes, but they're really backed up. I've been waited an additional 10 minutes and I could still see my ticket hung up, waiting for somebody to put a salad together to hand to me. I should note I was also the only one still waiting for my food, considering everybody that had come in and ordered in person had already received their food and were diligently eating. I understand that you could get slammed during a lunch hour, but waiting over 20 minutes seems highly unreasonable. And when I finally got my food, I didn't even get an apology for waiting so long. Just horrible customer service! read more

We got the oatmeal, egg sandwich, and eggs scramble with peppers and sausage. It was really good!!! I loved all their bakery items, would love to come back for more. read more

Good baked items. Super disappointing curried chicken salad sandwich. Literally chicken salad and a piece of lettuce on dry bread. Nothing blends it together. I asked for a side of mayo but still had to get rid of a slice of bread to make it moist enough to eat. So dry. The chicken salad was flavorful and mildly sweet. read more

For one wonderful weekend, my friends and I stayed down the street from the Stone Oven, reveling in the glory that is Cleveland. To be perfectly honest, we reveled a little too hard in the evenings, and we were near death in the morning-time.* Each day though, the gorgeous pastries and apparently excellent coffee (I don't drink the stuff, but everyone else does) from this adorable little shop brought us back to life, and let us begin the cycle anew. ____________ *It was our first weekend away from our baby, and we acted accordingly. read more

Stone Oven is bustling. I'm still working my way through their entire bread selection. So far, my favorite artisan bread is the Miller's Multigrain. It contains whole wheat flour, sunflower kernels, sesame seeds, flax seeds, oat groats, and honey. They have a nice selection of pastries. My favorite are their tea biscuits. It's layers of flakey dough with different flavor fillings (like apricot, poppyseed, or chocolate) stuffed in between. It's quite large and lasts me two days, and is great on it's own, dipped in coffee, or alongside tea. read more

We were staying in an Airbnb in Cleveland Heights while on vacation and, of course, had to scope out the nearest coffee shop, so we headed to Stone Oven. We were disappointed their espresso machine was out of order but figured we could get regular coffees. I ordered the scrambled eggs with mushrooms, sausage, and cheddar. It came with multigrain toast. I got a decaf iced coffee and a piece of pecan coffee cake. Christopher got the challah French toast and a cold brew. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer that will go off when your food is ready. Meanwhile, you must wait at the counter for your drinks. I grabbed a table (there are many, including long high tops) and Christopher returns with his drink but tells me I must see the server about my decaf. It seems they use the espresso machine to make iced decaf. I told her to just put ice in hot decaf. It was very nice. My food was very good. I loved the eggs. One downside is they don't butter your hot toast so it came out dry. They didn't give us any butter so we had to ask for it. Therefore, the butter wasn't all melts like I like. It still was very good! Christopher really liked his French toast. Christopher got a lemon muffin, which was delicious. My coffee cake was good. We liked the place so much we went back the next day, too. This time, I got the yogurt with granola, which was terrific! Loved all the coconut and dried fruit in it. Christopher got the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, onions, and cheese. I got a hot coffee this time and, I'm sorry to say, it didn't have much flavor. Overall, two good meals, but please get your espresso machine repaired. read more

The problem with reviews if you don't get a second response for the half assed response given by the place of business. Ask your servers for help I couldn't get one to look at me. Except for the one of the cash register who kept looking at me every time she finished an order. Never asked me. Again, all you need to do with the back door is to put up a sign that says go to the front door. You don't have that. That's why I'm not coming back because you don't listen to your customers. And then here's the review I left on Richard Longden 57 reviews·4 photos I didn't get a chance to eat it. I didn't get a chance to order it. There's no signage that I could see as to where to stand to make an order. So I stood as close to somebody who I thought was in line as possible. Not good enough. These people are flying around like chickens with their heads cut off. They never looked at me. They just went right down the line and says who can I help not where I was. Never looked at anybody just shouted it out and then they wash their hands like Pilate and say no mea culpa here. It's not like it's the most necessary menu in the world to sample. So I don't think I'm missing too much. Parking is difficult. The spaces are small and you're gonna get your car dinged every time you're there. Just food for thought before you have food that you can't order. But as I always say it's always about service and service is always about signage. You only have one chance in the world to impress me and you missed the Mark. read more

I drove 1 hour and 5 minutes to The Stone Oven on a personal quest to find an establishment who could reproduce a Breton Kouign Amann that I tried in Paris, France. This buttery treat was one of the best things that I have tried and I'm sure one of the unhealthiest. I've even tried ordering these tasty treats online and unfortunately, none of them look like the Kouign Amann I tried in Paris; which were rolled a less than an inch thick and approximately 5 inches in a circular diameter. So after some investigation I noticed this item appeared on the menu and I had to take a chance. I found a 15 minute parking space just out front on a 12:00 pm Saturday. Inside was pretty full and you really couldn't tell where to start or where the line began. I had to figure it out by noting where the registers were. I was pleasantly approached by a young lady asking what I would like and I scanned the the entire area not noticing what I was looking for so I asked for the Kouign Amann and she said I have 2 left. I instantly said, "I'll take them and to my surprise they looked like a flowery croissant that was baked in a pan with a sugary top. The one I tried in Paris had a Caramelized bottom. I decided to try other items such as the ham and cheese and a few glazed croissants. Although these Kouign Amann's weren't exactly what I expected that were still good. She boxed everything up for me and had me rung up within 2 minutes. If I lived locally, I would definitely check out other items. read more

I keep seeing rave reviews about The Stone Oven, so I had to give it a try. The last time I tried it was at the beginning of the pandemic, and my friend and I didn't get to the bakery until 1PM so the pastries seemed a little stale. This time I went a little before 10AM...but the pastries still didn't have the flakiness I was expecting. The mushroom gruyere was on the cold side and the filling ran a bit mushy. However, I went home and popped the baguette in the toaster over with some rosemary cheese and tomato soup and it was the fanciest thing ever, so maybe this is just one of those bakeries that needs a bit of reheating. read more

On 4/10/23 The service at this location is the worst I've ever seen. I place my order online for pick up, which was ready at the time specified. However, when you order hot drinks they wait until you arrive to make them and understandably so. Upon picking up the order I went to the counter to inform the staff that I had two coffees with my online order. Keep in mind that these coffees are medium decaf with oat milk and caramel. The young man proceeds to look at my receipt and then turns to pour two regular coffees and handed them to me. I said excuse me, these were supposed to be decaf. He again turns to pour two decafs and handed them to me. Again, I said, with carmel and oat milk. He then proceeds to pump the caramel into the cups right in front of me and then reaches to get the oat milk and told me to pour it myself. How rude, unsanitary and unprofessional! We had to come home and heat our coffees in the microwave after being made to pour cold oat milk into our hot coffee. My daughter wanted to go to Starbucks but I decided to order coffee from Stone Oven with our breakfast as I often do. Now she's like, see, I told you to go to Starbucks. I've been patronizing this location for many years and have been served by some of the nicest people and at times some of the nastiest and most unprofessional people and today's visit was the latter. Please let me know when the nice professionals are back so I don't have to write reviews like this about John's restaurant. Sorry John. read more

Delightful cookies. Wonderful breakfast and sandwiches. The ambience is lovely, quaint patio in the back.

Fantastic find. Everything was perfect. Staff was amazing. Oatmeal delicious. Pastries were amazing. Enjoyed my visit.

I've been here a couple times and the pastries make my mouth water just thinking about them!! The pesto egg galette is truly a must try!! The pesto complimented the gooey egg and flaky crust perfectly. And the runny egg yolk served warm was literally all I want in my breakfast. Don't sleep on it!!!! Their barista is serving up all sorts of unique syrups including lavender latte!! highly recommend. read more
