The Root Cafe

Cleveland

Café

$$$$

This friendly, hippie-ish cafe in Lakewood offers up hearty vegetarian fare in addition to coffee freshly brewed by local beanery, Rising Star. It's a solid lunch option; the extensive menu of sandwiches, pizzas, and baked veggie sides are satisfyingly filling enough to make you forget you were craving a BLT. Local and organic isn’t just a trendy slogan for Root Café: it makes hearty and inventive vegetarian and vegan sandwiches (try the Clevo!) that will entice even the most ardent meat-eaters in Greater Cleveland.
