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!“

“I was very disappointed that I called to feed 40 people. I was told that the large pizzas were on sale but instead they filled the order with XL pizzas which were not on sale. I paid an extra $39.00 for those pizzas vs a comparable number of large pizzas (the ones on sale). I called spoke with the manager who basically said it was my problem. I had never ordered before but as explained it was easier for them to make XL due to short staff so oh well I wound up paying the $39.00 more. Nothing they can do about it. Terrible customer service!“

“Fave Ethiopian restaurant in Cleveland 👌🏽“

“I have eaten at different variations of vegan small business restaurants this place gives you the beyond maximum benefit when it is all set and done. My wife and I have come from the West Coast over to the East Coast a few times and the food is the best reward you will get at this restaurant. The staff are very friendly and hard-working and I would not give them a negative rating. Nobody is perfect so no one should be expecting perfection but when you have this food, it’s gonna feel close to Perfect as it will be. I wish squashed the beef all the future success, and hope everything works out for you!!
Their chili with any combination they have is chefs kiss.
And their french fries the way they got those bad boys flavored you will not need any ketchup and you will save all the flavoring you will get.
My wife and I both really enjoyed your hamburgers. Excellent..“

“Great customer satisfaction! Great food“

“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! 😋“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

“Amazing dumpling/menu and wonderful family.“

“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! ☝️“

“Fantastic food and service!“

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

“10 out of 10 pizza, recommend NYC style“

“I ordered the cookies and cream + cookie dough ice cream scoops. You can't go wrong with either of those options. Classic flavors with perfect homemade/ old fashioned ice cream parlor taste. Smells like an ice cream parlor when you walk it. So yummy! It's not too busy during the afternoon on week days.“

“A great location with a lot of options (something for everyone 🍦. The staff are always friendly, they move the lines quickly, and the prices are affordable. My favorite is the key lime or berry crumble. They even have already frozen options to pick up and take home.“

“Great venue, great people and great atmosphere.“

“I love getting ice cream here. So many different options. I love getting milkshakes here. I would recommend caramel fudge brownie or good old cookies and cream. The service is always amazing and I am always pleased at the speed in which I receive my ice cream. Pretty pricy though.“

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

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

“I absolutely love Brassica! The food and lemonade is always so fresh and delicious! I love the different options of veggie toppings. Since this place is located within Van Aken District there is plenty of space to sit and enjoy especially in the warmer months so the atmosphere is nice. The bathroom has always been clean everytime I've used it and they even have just a small sink outside of the bathroom if you only need to wash your hands. This place is a little bit on the pricer side but I think its worth it as it is healthier and fresher and a lot of their utensils and napkins and bowls are made from recycled materials and is some are compostable. If you like Mediterranean food in a Chipotle style way then I recommend this place!“

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

“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!“

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service“

“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!“

“the Kalbi Bento box lunch and the additional Ban Chan and the seafood pancake. Heavenly“

“I have been coming here for well beyond thirty years and found the food to be deluscious every single time!“

“The staff was amazing! My 17 (!) friends and family members and I had a blast for my bachelorette party. Our pre- dinner activity finished a whole hour and a half before our reservation and they made it work to help me stay stress free for the evening. Aimee, our server, was so sweet and ensured my group of gals were taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend!“
