50 Best Vegan Restaurants near University Heights

“Stopped by the Mentor location today for a slice, left with 2 slices & a can of pop for $7. Good stuff! She said pizza was fresh out the oven, it was pretty good! A little greasier than I’d like on the bottom but crust wasn’t too soggy and had good crunch with pepperoni too“

“My family and I living coming here after a long hard day of work and/or school...It has that special neighborhood feel, and the employees, (mostly college and high school students), are awesome!“

“My dad and I were in town for the day and wanted to find a vegan restaurant. We had breakfast and came back for lunch. It was amazing!! Food delicious, wide variety, and great customer service. The space was clean and welcoming. Can't wait to come back!“

“What a great hangout! The food is great and the owners are fantastic! Can't wait to go back!“

“So delicious. My meat-eating husband even enjoyed it. I had fettuccine Alfredo I couldn’t even believe was vegan it was so incredible. Definitely check it out.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! I am going on my 3rd year of a meatless diet and I am so happy to have discovered this place of business. Everything was flavorful and those sweet potato muffins were so moist. I highly recommend trying them out whether you are a vegetarian or not, you will enjoy the food! 😋“

“Food is very good. Long wait if you don't order ahead. If you do have to wait, you'll be rewarded.“

“First time eating there and I was impressed and pleased with the entire experience. The food was great and the staff was outstanding! We will be back.“

“I love this place! Me and my partner eat here all the time. As a person who recently stopped eating meat, this is my favorite vegan restaurant. The food doesn’t make a difference if it’s vegan or not, it’s just good food overall. I’m working my way to try everything on the menu but my faves are the vegan pepper steak & rice and the vegan chilli on Wednesdays. But I enjoy everything on the menu so it just depends what you are in the mood for. Omg can’t forget the lemonade! Yum

P.S can’t forget the wine either lol“

“I am on a plant based diet and Feng it prepared foods are delicious it saves me time and I know it’s healthy! Heinen’s is now offering these delicious prepared foods. I originally stopped by the office to order some food and Mr. Williams the CEO was so gracious to not only give me a tour of the facility in Pepper Pike but I even tasted samples of the food. I am trying to get my cholesterol and triglycerides down and since I ate mostly like a vegetarian plant based diet wasn’t a big change for me. I had the veggie burgers tonight and they were delicious. Thank you Mr. Williams and the doctor who started this business. The doctor offers wonderful services and I’m a big infrared sauna user for my health I plan on signing up soon to visit their beautiful practice. The doctor is a renown plastic surgeon and promotes plant based diets. A real gem in our area! They also specialize in facials, massages and so much more!“

“We were in downtown Cleveland for an event, and I was so excited to see that there was a vegan spot within walking distance from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and Progressive Field! I got the vegan fish sandwich, my husband got the vegan BBQ chicken wrap, and we split the vegan chicken tenders (which are actually a chicken patty cut into strips). So good! The fries were some of the best I've had too...and as a vegan, fries ARE my best friend ? The only real downside is that it shares a space in The Eatery at Tower City Center with a non-vegan place, so just make sure you're reading and ordering from the vegan Yes It's Fresh menu and not the Everybody Eatz menu.

“The food is delicious… that being said, what happened to your miso soup? I went today and it was just a sad, watered-down broth without any tofu or seaweed. It used to be so good!“

“Yummy bagels and super friendly staff!!! My family loves this place.“

“Fave Ethiopian restaurant in Cleveland 👌🏽“

“first Monday 4 meals for $44 experience 10/20/25. Brussel sprouts looked great however undercooked… very difficult to chew.. Otherwise I liked it.“

“We have been coming to Hot Grillz Diner since we saw it on New Day Cleveland (way before the pandemic). Karen and crew are awesome and the food is fabulous. No matter what you decide to order I promise that you won't be disappointed. We have brought friends here who are now regular customers. Come in once and you will be back!“

“Highly recommended for jihadi death cultists, gullible college students, and the Red Cross. Walls of this Hamas haven shine with anti-Semitic art and tropes calling for the delegitimization of Israel and the genocide of Jews. Complete with a fireplace, couches and comfy chairs, it’s a warm and hospitable place to relax. Especially after a hard day of protesting for Palestinian rights to murder, r-pe, kidnap, and impose worldwide Sharia law. Step inside this decked-out terror tunnel and order items that Yahya Sinwar himself would have enjoyed in hiding. Menu treats include: Palestinian tea; Palestinian cucumber salad; white pizza with Palestinian olive oil; and of course, Gaza miish, which is to die for. While the restaurant doesn’t need my advice, I respectfully suggest new signature entrees: Heil Hummus, Führer Falafel, and Zyklon Beef. From the Ohio River to the Lake Erie sea, Algebra Tea House shall set you free. Unless you’re a Jewish baby hostage. Allahu Akbar! ☝️“

“Always a great variety of ice cream! The toasted pistachio in a waffle cone is absolutely delicious! There's handicapped parking, but the door is not automatic, so I had to wait for someone to come along who was willing to open the door for me. The seating was nice, and the tables looked clean. The ice cream is a bit pricey but is very delicious.“

“Absolutely 100% Yes 100 PERCENT …the BEST French bakery outside of Paris! THE FRESH BREADS And breakfast croissant sandwiches are amazing! Along with pai au raisen… apple tart, cinnamon raisin bread beyond belief! AND I GUESS I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE BECAUSE WHEN I WENT IN ON SUNDAY AFTER MASS IT WAS STRIPPED CLEAN OF ALL BREAD AND PASTRIES… LOL I GUESS THE WORD GETS OUT! It’s not only the bread that are fresh and wonderful including sourdough and baguettes beyond compare… It is the friendliness and wonderful staff who make it a great place to enjoy a visit whether it’s breakfast lunch or more !!!!✨💕✨✨☀️☀️☀️✨ thank you ! Thank you Brian Evans and On the Rise Artisan Bread staff✨💕✨“

“Fantastic lunch with a great friend! couldn't decide between a couple items so the waitress suggested their Toofer - basically a soup and sandwich. I got the Seafood Bisque cup and a half Ruben sandwich. Both tasted great and waitress was spot on (there when we needed her and not there when we didn't need her). I'll definitely go back and try other menu options! RECOMMEND!“

“Some of the best pho ever! Did not disappoint at all!“

“I had a wonderful birthday dinner with my wife on Saturday. The food was outstanding and the service even better! Jose brought me out a piece of tiramisu cake with a candle! Thank you everyone for adding to my wonderful birthday! We will definitely be back!! ❤️“

“Having recently moved to this side of town I was dying for authentic Greek cuisine... so happy I found this place ! Staff is super friendly and the food is amazing. You would think they had YaYA in the back doing all the cooking :) trust me when I tell you to give them a try !“

“10 out of 10 pizza, recommend NYC style“

“Great service and food! Definitely recommend.“

“Great venue, great people and great atmosphere.“

“My family and I were vacationing in Ohio this week. We wanted to visit a local restaurant so we did some research and found so many great reviews. We decided on Thai and I'm so glad that we did. The food was amazing and the woman working the counter was hard working and so friendly. We enjoyed the food and the experience and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for good Thai Food in Lyndhurst, Ohio“

“Karen is a hoot! We had an amazing dinner and even better service. 10/10 recommend!“

“Boba tea in so many flavors! Chicken teriyaki is delicious, as is all the buns and treats.“

“I have visited this location quite often. The service is great as it a popular sweet treat. Be ready to wait a few minutes in line for cones and shakes but if you are ok to eat from the container ( which I am) you can go directly to the freezer, pick your favorite and fo straight to the cashier. I often eat and enjoy the sunny day or warm night outside where there are tables for groups or benches for couples.“

“We always have a great meal at Korea House. I crave their budae jjigae“

“My visit today was on a Sunday at approx 6pm or so. I accidently placed the wrong Sundae order and was willing to eat it anyway, but I thought what the heck I'll just be honest and explain what happened. The staff was nice enough to correct my order and offer the Turtle Sundae I desired which was delicious as usual.

Here is the Plus/Minus on this store:
Plus - The ice cream always tastes delicious; the service is fast and excellent every time. Even if the line is long it always moves fast. The temperature in the dining area is always comfy whether it is hot or cold outside. The dining area is always clean. Lots of delicious flavors and speciaty items like shakes and sundaes. This has become my fave ice cream spot in NEO.
Minus: Approx 6 unruly, loud, disruptive youth arrived near the end of my visit. I wanted to escort them right out the door, fortunately they didn't stay long. Perhaps this is a new trend in Solon because a similar thing happened in nearby Chick-Fil-A Solon a few weeks ago. Oops I spoke too soon, the bad kis came back :(“
