The food was great. They buy the food to support the stands in the market My waitress was the sweetest and kind young lady It's a small cafe. You may have to wait till you get a table. I didn't have to wait read more

Haven't been here in awhile, always a good Bfast and lunch place. Ingredients are from the West Side Market. Can't go wrong. Good menu. Lots of choices from salads, soup, apps to sandwiches. Space is decent. They have a counter and tables throughout. Can fit a healthy amount of people. Service was good. Prices are about average, I'd say most things are around $15. We got the little Johnny burger. Our server said the burgers were really good so we thought we'd try. It was pretty good. Sides you can choose fries, Greek potato salad, and cole slaw. I got the seasoned fries. Could have been cooked a bit more. And they were short little pieces. And my partner got the geek potato salad. It is oil based with red onion, tomato, cucumber, olives and feta cheese. It was good. Burger was good too. I'd get it again. Place was hopping. Nice to see. WSM is under construction so you have to walk around a bit to get to produce side and meat side. But it's fine. It was a Sunday and it's nice to see lots of people in Cleveland gear repping the city. This is a good diner with good food. read more

West Side Market Cafe offers tasty options, whether you are in the mood for breakfast or lunch. Our server was nice and professional. She offered excellent recommendations. And the ambiance is what you would expect from a cafe. We had the spicy chicken sandwich, along with a bacon burger, egg sandwich, and the chicken caesar salad. Everything was tasty and hit the spot. Make sure and stop by the cafe the next time you visit the West Side Market in Cleveland. read more

This cafe was exactly what we were looking for after strolling through the market and not finding something that quite hit the spot for lunch! A menu with a solid number of breakfast (served all day, score!) and lunch options, a bathroom, plenty of seating, very reasonable prices (mostly between $12-$16 or so), and I like that they regularly purchase some products from the market vendors! At our table for 3, we tried the Chicken Fried Steak (came with eggs, delicious buttered rosemary toast, and home fries), West Side Omelette (also came with the famed toast and home fries), and a burger that came with french fries, which I think were actually tastier than the home fries! I only tasted my meal (CFS) but everyone enjoyed their food which came out quickly and with a friendly attitude (somehow this matters much more than I'd like to admit). They have high chairs and crayons for kids, but there is no true changing table in the bathroom (there's a small table that's better than nothing). If this were a standalone cafe somewhere else, I might not have wandered in, but I'm glad it was here to fulfill my need today! read more

This place has a very classic diner feel with formica topped tables and decorated walls. Service was very fast without feeling rushed. I loved my pierogies, but the kielbasa was different and chewier than I expected. Menu selection was pretty simple but covered all the diner basics. read more

A nostalgic place in Cleveland. This place is a piece of Cleveland history. A small casual café. They have quite the selection on the menu with some unique touches to it. It was busy and we were lucky to get a seat immediately. The waitress was instantly at our table. Once we ordered we didn't wait long for our food at all. You can tell fresh, and I've heard local, ingredients were used. The rosemary in the bread was so good. I got the pierogie sandwich. The food was delicious and I cannot wait to go back. There are other things on the menu I would love to try. read more

I came for the pierogi melt. Pierogi isn't commonly found where I'm from, so I was trying to eat as much pierogi while I was in town. And it was really good, even when having it for breakfast before the rest of the market opened. I'd come back again to get the same thing! read more

This small place was right next to the West Side Market where they had connecting doors. There was also a bar with a good amount of seating. The menu had a variety of choices to choose from. The service was very friendly, and the food came out in a timely manner. I had the Big Lebowski ($16.75?). It was a sandwich with muenster cheese, sauerkraut, onions, kielbasa, and potato cheddar pierogies. It was also on grilled rosemary bread. I never saw pierogies on a sandwich so had to give it a try. This was great mix of flavors and very filling. The rosemary bread was the key as it was grilled perfectly with a perfect amount of rosemary where it was not overpowerful. I really enjoyed the pierogies on here. There was also a side of fries that had a simple seasoning of paprika, garlic salt, and a little bit of cayenne I believe. They were hot and done right. Will I go back? Yup. read more

This diner has very friendly service and good food. It is fast as well and the menu is diverse. The negatives are that the coffee is weak and the price is high for the amount of food that you get. If you're in the area and want a quick bite then this is the place for you! read more

This cafe is connected to the market making a quick lunch easy. Server was nice and attentive. Ordered something I never saw on a menu before a Pirogi melt. 2 Lightly breaded Pirogis wrapped in mozzarella on toasted rye bread. A big side of fries. It was a lot. I could only eat half. It was good for an unusual sandwich. I'd eat here again. read more

I kind of fell in love with the entire West Side Market during a recent trip to Cleveland, and the small cafe off the eastern side is just my style. I dig a good diner, and this place fit the bill. Cozy, humble and friendly with great greasy spoon food. My kiddo and I popped in for a late breakfast while shopping. She got a pumpkin waffle that was on special with candied pecans and caramel, and devoured the entire thing. I was perfectly happy with my corned beef hash and eggs. Nothing bougie. Just damn good. Our server was lovely as well. read more

Food was great but it took soooooo long for a couple eggs, a breakfast burrito and an omelette. Served seemed disinterested. To be fair, it was Saturday and I am sure she got killed through breakfast because theMarket itself was busy....but still felt like a bother rather than a customer. The room is small, maybe ten tables if that. Stars are for service....breakfast was nothing special but very well cooked read more

I was surprised to see all the rave reviews for this place. I went in around 9 on a Wednesday. I was excited at the claim on their website that they use fresh ingredients from the market, but having eaten the food, I can't believe that's true. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs, the toast was a bit stale, the potatoes had the "sweet" taste of winter storage potatoes (although they were good despite that). I got the "spicy bacon" which was regular bacon smothered in a weird hot sauce. Wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. The waitresses earn them all the stars here - they're a fun group. read more

Visited West Side Market Cafe this morning. My friend and I sat at the counter. Our waitress was very friendly and provided A+++ service. Coffee refills were frequent. I struggled to pick between options on the menu because everything looked good. I settled on the Eggs Benedict. The entree and accompanying potatoes were very good. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and had great seasoning. Overall this was a very pleasant experience. The cafe is worth visiting before or after a stroll through the West Side Market. read more

This is a bustling cafe in the West Side Market. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. It was already busy at 8 am and people were still coming in. My biscuits and gravy, with eggs, also came with fried potatoes. The gravy was ok, it could have used a little salt. My friend had the Market Breakfast with eggs, bacon, toast and potatoes. The food came out quickly, the portions were generous, and our server was prompt in refilling coffee, bringing the check, etc. read more

Diner inside an open air seafood and meat market, this was a nice little gem inside an otherwise bustling and somewhat smelly fish market! It's tucked in a little corner and has a quaint homey feel inside. The staff are kind and attentive, quickly and easily accommodating our group of 7 with no advance notice. Some of us had mimosas (served in a beer glass, interesting vibe but tasty mimosa) but being that we were about to ride a bunch of roller coasters at Cedar Point after our brekkie here i didn't want to drink! I had the market breakfast with 2 eggs over easy, ham, fruit yogurt and toast with honey butter. It was so delicious. The eggs were perfectly runny and went well with the toast. The fruit yogurt was juicy and refreshing, the perfect pairing for this meal. At $12 the prices are a steal and really filled me up for a fun day of adrenaline! Thanks west side market! read more

Always a pleasure coming here to see all the different vendors and yes there is many to chose from and the selection is magical. The building and its history is amazing and it's just so nice to have in the city. As for parking I don't know sometimes it's tickets and you pay sometimes it's free or well I hope it is because the gates are up. Either way I always make it a point to go here atleast 1 time a month. A+ read more

My dad and I stopped for lunch here for the first time and it was a lovely experience. Our waitress was kind, helpful and attentive, bringing us napkins and refills without even asking if we needed them. We each got the Brunch burger and they were delicious, the patties and bacon were cooked to perfection and the fried eggs on top were perfectly runny. Not too crowded for a Sunday at 12pm either. My dad loved the burgers so much that he asked the waitress to share his compliments to the chef. We will definitely be coming back here when shopping at the Market. read more

Stooped here for breakfast before stocking up at the market. Really enjoyed our meal. Wife got the omelet and thought it was fantastic. I tried the churro French toast. Not what I was expecting but enjoyed every bite. I was expecting French toast with some cinnamon sugar topping. Got churro dipped in French toast batter and cooked on the grill. Very tasty read more

My mom, my daughter, and I visited West Side Market Cafe the morning of the eclipse, and it was hopping! You could tell there were a lot of out-of-towners by the various Eclipse 2024 t-shirts we were sporting. The space was cosy (some might even say crowded) and it boosted the eclipse-related bonhomie. Despite the chaotic rush, our party of three was seated immediately, and service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Our server was clearly an expert and she treated us with witty irreverence, which we very much enjoyed. My daughter and I both got "The Mess," which is an assembly of everything that's good about breakfast, served with a side of toast. Scrambled eggs, bacon, and home fries are slathered in sausage gravy and topped with cheese. As we found out, it is possible to customize The Mess by omitting whichever ingredient you don't like (I'm not telling which we omitted lol). The toast we both chose was rosemary, and it was absolutely delicious! Delicious like my mouth is watering as I think about it. My mom got a traditional eggs, sausage, and toast breakfast. She chose sourdough toast, which was also excellent. She especially liked the sausage, because it had fennel. Yum! read more

My favorite breakfast meeting place. This bustling little gem tucked into the corner of the West Side Market is a home run every time. The food is market fresh, the portions are respectable and the staff is always awesome. Real eggs cooked to your liking complimented with market fresh, potatoes as well as bacon and sausage. read more

After checking out the west side market had to dine in at the Cafe. The cafe seems to be opened everyday but just at different hours unlike the market which isnt opened everyday. The market isn't a place to try out different foods to eat unless you bring it somewhere and make it yourself to heat it up. So, I wanted to dine in somewhere and get what Cleveland, OH is known for such as their pierogies, kielbasas and corn beef sandwich. I also liked how the place was old school and homey feeling. The place seemed to be family owned. Food wise, we shared and got the Corned Beef Reuben which comes with 1000 island dressing on the side. Ordered from the specials menu too and got the Pieorgi and Sausage Platter along with a bed of cabbage along the side which comes with fried pieorgies, Kielbasas and German sausages with three sauces on the side - mustard, salsa, and cottage cheese. All in all, it was great! read more

Great fresh food lovely atmosphere ..kid friendly too..we shopped as well...so many exquisite things

Stopped in here on a Saturday morning around 930 and the place was starting to get packed. We were seated immediately and our orders were taken about as quickly. We had one of the winter specials, the chicken and waffles, and the kielbasa hash. All 3 of us agreed that all three meals were 10/10 good. We wouldn't have changed a thing. The waffle was like a cornbread waffle and it had great crisp and flavor. The chicken was the same way: crispy and had flavorful breading. The honey butter is a must. The hash was loaded with kielbasa and onions. The crispy potatoes/hashbrowns had an old bay-like seasoning on the outside and were also crispy. We loved it all. Theres a variety of seating and tons of old pictures hung around the walls. Definitely must have breakfast here when visiting the area. read more

Kathleen behind the counter was super friendly and provided perfect service. It's a dive restaurant at the back of Cleveland's West Side Market. I ordered the Weekender Special "Farmer's Daughter" with rosemary bead topped with sausage and bacon, two over easy eggfs, hollandaise sauce and home fries. Served within seconds coming off the grill super hot! Lots of character in the place with loads of decades old pictures. (Probably all post WWII pics.) Great ambiance if you like dive places that are super clean. Highly recommend. read more

If you show up before the Market opens or if you are in the area the West Side Market cafe has some awesome breakfast's. I got the Greek Omelette. Spinach, feta, egg white's, with a side of potato and toast. House coffee is good and the omelette was great. The place is small and busy so pack your patience. Staff kept my coffee nice and hot. What else can you ask for. Better yet, show up before the Market open. Better not to shop on an empty stomach. read more

Open 7 days a week, they have a good weekend menu (like Eggs Benedict and Kielbasa Hash), along with seasonal specials like this Monte Cristo French Toast.

One of my favorite places to eat breakfast in Cleveland. read more

I recently tried what's supposed to be their "famous" corned beef Reuben, and honestly, it was a complete letdown. The sandwich was absolutely drenched in oil--grease leaking from every side. The bread was tiny, the portion shockingly small, and it was paired with limp, soggy fries that had no business being on a plate. It feels like diners used to take pride in the food they served, but this plate was practically crying for help. I don't know if the cook was just having an off day or what, but calling this an "insult" to any decent Reuben would be putting it mildly. The cold Thousand Island sauce on the side added nothing to the experience but disappointment. For the price they're charging, you'd think they'd put some care into it--but nope. I'm getting more frustrated the more I think about it. If you can't make a proper Reuben, take it off the menu and stick to breakfast. read more

In town for concert and was looking for a morning after breakfast place. This place was perfect. Had a 30 minute wait on a Saturday morning around 10 AM.

Absolutely fantastic! We went on a busy Sunday morning and we were seated quickly and served quickly! I wanted the mushroom melt but I wanted corned beef added to it and I was NOT disappointed!! Best sandwich ever !! Should be added to the menu! Lol. The waitress was great. Even the owner was seating guests and helping out staff. Amazing food and amazing atmosphere and you can tell the owner cares about the place AND his employees. Perfect gem before getting groceries! read more

West Side Market Cafe - Mushroom melt with added corned beef - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This little cafe (diner) is attached to the public market. My husband had the cornbeef hash, and I had the spinach and mushroom omelet with Feta. Both dishes had sourdough toast. I wish I had taken a picture, but by the time I realized it, the food was almost gone. From the time we entered the cafe, we were treated warmly. Pretty much looked like locals in this establishment. The staff seemed to know most folks who entered. Our server "George" was kind, sweet, and efficient. She made our visit enjoyable. The food is excellent! I loved the vibe here. My only regret was going to the market on a full belly. The whole experience was equally pleasant on the eyes and taste buds. read more

We stopped here for a Sunday morning breakfast before golf the other week and it was such a lovely experience!! The workers were so kind and helped us with any questions we had. Even when we left the owner asked us if we needed anything else and hoped we had a good time, which we did!! I got the huevos rancheros and it was the perfect blend of breakfast and lunch! I started eating it as soon as I got it because it looked so good (that's why we are missing a couple bites in the pic)! The shell stayed crunchy and never got soggy, and I deff recommend using the sour cream and salsa... it adds even more flavor to this wonderful dish!! My friends got the greek omelet and the breakfast wrap, both said the dishes were delicious!!! My one friend even said he found his new favorite breakfast spot in Cleveland, and I agree!!! I definitely recommended coming here for a breakfast/ brunch get together! and plus... you can always shop at the westside market after or before (: always a lovely experience there! read more
