21 Best Cafes near Brunswick

“So delicious and so many great crepe options. The owner and staff are so kind and friendly and the cafe is cozy. The only downside is having to decide on sweet or savory...or sometimes I just get 2 and take 2 halves home.“

“I’d been drooling over GSB’s pastries on Facebook for months like a sugar-starved stalker, and I finally found myself in the area—hallelujah. The second I walked in, I was hit with a wave of sugary air and a warm hello that felt like a hug from a cinnamon bun. There were so many treats I wanted to adopt, but the second I saw the giant, chocolate-covered cream puff, it basically yelled, “Take me to your husband!” Mission accepted. I brought it home and casually told my husband, “Hey, I picked up a little pastry for you.” Hours later, he opened the bag and said—verbatim—“Holy #%?!”. This thing was an absolute unit. At least six inches tall, overflowing with fresh whipped cream like it was showing off. We both took a bite and just stared at each other like we’d seen pastry heaven. It was rich, cloud-like, and somehow not overly sweet. My husband, a self-proclaimed cream puff connoisseur, declared it the best he’s ever had. And trust me, the man has puff experience. Only one thought: throw in a middle pastry layer, Big Mac-style. Not because it needs it, but because my jaw would appreciate the break from climbing Mt. Cream Puff.“

“The Grounded Bean is my husband and I’s go-to coffee spot! They have delicious coffee (not to mention the fun seasonal specials), the best build-your-own bagel sandwiches, and the sweetest treats to top it all off. It’s our favorite little shop that we love big time! 🤍“

“​Update (March 2026):
​Checked out the new Winter/Spring seasonal menu. We tried the Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash and the Blueberry Lemon Cornbread, both of which were excellent and worth trying before the menu rotates again. We also had the BLT Benedict, which remains a solid, reliable choice.

​Service was friendly and efficient, and it is clear that the quality here is holding up well over time. Whether you’re after a classic breakfast or a fresh seasonal lunch, this location remains a reliable local staple—just be sure to use the app to join the waitlist ahead of time to skip the line.

Original Review:
We have visited this location for breakfast multiple times now, and it has consistently been a good experience. The food tastes always fresh, and they offer a great variety of traditional and seasonal breakfast and brunch classics, as well as more innovative, healthy options.

If you are planning a visit, I highly recommend using their website or mobile app to get in line before you actually arrive at the restaurant. It’s a very popular spot, especially on weekends, and joining the digital waitlist saves a significant amount of time waiting outside.

Overall, between the quality of the food and the variety of the menu, the restaurant is an excellent local option for breakfast or brunch.“

“The service was fast and friendly on this visit. Quite a nice departure from other locations forcing the iPad ordering. I was greeted promptly, my order taken quickly and accurately, and I even allowed an upsell. It was quite quiet even with a steady stream of customers flowing through because they were efficient.“

“My daughter and I have visited the Strongsville location a few times, and it’s always been a delicious treat! For a fun “coffee treat”, she loves their milk steamer with pumpkin spice flavoring. We haven’t ventured away from our usual, but the Nutella with strawberries and bananas is always delicious and so filling. She actually won’t stop talking about how good their Nutella is 😆 Their croissants are amazing, and everyone has always been so nice.“

“Great event! Spooktacular dog costume contest! Finn approved“

“Cute coffee place! Found this place on google when driving and was so happy I did. Decorated so well for the holidays, amazing staff who were so helpful and welcoming, a ton of seating inside. Today was so busy with it being Black Friday but it was easily manageable. Drinks and food came out so fast. I will be recommending this place to my friends!“

“I work downtown (Berea) so we appreciate these gems with great hours, food/drinks, and consistency. They prepare our orders for pickup so quickly, and it's always delicious. Highly recommended.“

“Wheelchair accessible, friendly staff, delicious coffee!“

“My daughter and I just kinda stumbled upon this place yesterday and so glad we did! We both got protein shakes and they were delicious! The sweet girl that made them was so kind as to even look up the sugar content in my banana foster shake. Great service and excellent product!! Looking forward to going back 🧋“

“I can’t begin to say enough good things about this little bakery. One, they’re inclusive by having vegan and gluten free items. As someone with a dairy allergy, this is heaven sent! I always find things for my husband, but it’s difficult to get myself a little treat at times because of no DF options.

Honey Bee Bakery is beyond adorable in aesthetics. They have a large picture window, table, bookshelf, and chairs you can sit and people watch. It’s also in Medina Commons so there’s extra tables and chairs right outside the shop.

Customer service? Stellar. Friendly, helpful, even asked if I wanted my husband’s normal sweets separated from my DF sweets. Now that is a respectful shop! Prices were very, very reasonable for what you get.

I got my husband a buckeye bar and lemon bar. For myself, two vegan brownies and a churro muffin. Haven’t tried the muffin yet. However, I do recommend splitting a vegan brownie 4 ways. It’s so thick and decadent I’m still nibbling on my first one. Heat it up in the microwave for 10 seconds, and it just melts in your mouth.

10/10 definitely coming back here again! It also seems you can pre-order cakes and they take great pride in high quality.“

“Great place! Nice menu to choose from. Reasonably priced too! Friendly, efficient staff too!“

“Our server was so sweet! The light fixture above our table had cobwebs on it. And our potatoes had burnt edges not just a nice crispy edge as they should be. Out overall experience was good and seating was done efficiently. The sausage gravy was excellent!“

“This Panera is very clean and the staff working there are very polite and professional!“

“Had a girl's breakfast out with my sisters in law. Had a great server, whose name I didn't catch. He was personable and attentive, yet have us our space. I ordered a Frittata Rustica, and a Morning Meditation drink. Also split a Blueberry Lemon Cornbread. Frittata was tasty, with plenty of the fillings, toast was good. Was not really impressed with the greens, seemed like someone grabbed a handful of spring mix from a store box and squeezed a tiny bit of lemon juice on it, I was expecting it to be more of a salad type dressing. Definitely could use a bit more flavoring. The morning meditation was right up my alley, I would have been happy to just sip on that. If you like juicing, and are not averse to beet juice, definitely try it! Tasted good and refreshing. Definitely would get it again. The cornbread was amazing, I love cornbread and this one I could have eaten all by myself! Overall it was a good first visit, would not mind hoping again. Thank you for great service.“
