The Root Cafe - Lakewood

Root is a really cool community coffee shop/diner. Food is organic, and vegan and GF baked goods uses Root's own flour blend. The room is L shaped with tables and counters. Duck and Rabbit coffee in bags is for sale, as well as other cool gift items. The menu includes salads, sandwiches, pizza, calzones, and breakfast items. Coffee comes in all varieties. I had from the dessert menu a 12 oz cup of Mayan mocha with a shake of cayenne that allowed a hot swallow. Delicious. There are also teas. Bring in your own cup! Order online!

Excellent vegetarian/vegan menu, lots of drink options. The atmosphere is great too, very cozy.

Always have the best time eating here. Staff is super friendly, menu is large and everything is always fresh! I love that they sell local art and make drinks with their own nut milk.

My second choice vegetarian restaurant in the Lakewood area of Cleveland turned out pretty good (the first one was packed . I found a welcoming menu of real food kind of items. The place was well attended by a young, hip crowd but I didn't have any trouble finding a seat. My matcha was offered with honey but fine unsweetened, and my vegan burrito offered no shortage of flavors, bursting with salsa, kale, sweet potatoes, and more. The check was higher than I would have thought, and included some high tip options (up to 70%! for a place with counter ordering service. I didn't like them quite that much, but it was good quality food.

Updating this review because I went back and the service was fine. It's a nice local spot and have a good variety in their menu.
