Best Cake Places in Lorain

"There’s a number of restaurants that cater to a vegetarian palate, but vegan options can be much harder to come by. Luckily, Cleveland Vegan cafe and bakery opened its storefront location in 2014 after operating as a catering company for two years. Enjoy a range of creative options, including the Swiss chard enchiladas (pictured), with sweet potato, kale, and roasted pepitas wrapped in Swiss chard with homemade enchilada sauce and sour "creem," as well as the best-selling breakfast sandwich, a house bagel with chipotle "mayo," sauteed kale, avocado mash, house omelet, tempeh "bacon," alfalfa sprouts, and tomatoes."

"Cleveland Vegan, located in Lakewood, OH, started as a vegan catering company, but recently opened a afé and bakery with more vegan options than almost any other restaurant in the Cleveland area. Every item on the menu is vegan, and many are raw and gluten-free as well. From cookies and muffins in a wide variety of flavors (like strawberry rhubarb, buckeye, double chocolate, and apple walnut oat) to bars, brownies, scones, donuts, croissants, cinnamon rolls, and even custom cakes and “cheezcakes,” the bakery has virtually any vegan treat you could imagine."

"Old Brooklyn's Jack Frost Donuts, located at 4960 Pearl Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the family-owned Cleveland staple 4.5 stars out of 265 reviews. Whether you grab the classic glazed or one of the specialty options, the shop has a wide assortment of fresh doughnuts ready for the hungry masses. Jack Frost's offerings include the Cookies and Cream with white cream and crushed Oreo sprinkles; the Fat Elvis with powdered sugar, peanut butter cream, banana filling and bacon bits; and the Death by Chocolate with chocolate icing, chocolate custard, chocolate syrup drizzle, chocolate cream and a chocolate-hazelnut pirouette stick."

"I feared a sugar-fueled energy rush followed by an equally powerful crash resulting in cranky kids. However, all the kids had phones or other electronic devices so they were in their own little world during the car ride. There are times that this is totally ok."

"The donuts look beautiful but they are way too sweet due to way too many toppings. The donut quality is ok but it's a waste when you need to scrape ..."

"That’s just one of the options you’ll have for custom cakes if you walk into KB Confections in Lakewood, located on the west side of Cleveland. Owner and award-winning cake maker Karen Bosworth had a long-standing dream of opening a confectionary, which became a reality in 2014. Though the retail space is closed to everything but take-out orders at the moment, Lakewood eagerly awaits the day that it’s fully open again."

"Ohio Erie Canal Reservation follows along a portion of the historic Ohio and Erie Canal, which stretches 309 miles and was constructed in the 1820s to connect the cities of Akron, Cleveland, and Portsmouth with each other and with canal systems in Pennsylvania. The park is located at the site of the canal's northern terminus at the Cuyahoga River, stretching along 4.4 miles of its waterfront and offering lovely public amenities and wildlife management areas. Natural wetland and forest habitats have been reclaimed along the Cuyahoga riverfront, with visitor amenities offered such as a nature center and a National Heritage corridor."

"The Plum is a bright and beautiful restaurant space that is impeccably Instagram-worthy with lots of windows, white walls, pink booth seating and a funky lemon print wallpaper that accents the front of the restaurant. But people don’t come here for the decor, what they really come for is the incredible, ever changing menu. The owners of The Plum work with local farmers to source fresh, seasonal ingredients, and carefully curate American menu items based on what is currently available."

"Consider this Battery Park spot a “boi’s club” of sorts — with sandwich selections like the “Bonzo Boi” (a chickpea patty with all the fixings) and self-explanatory “Chicky Boi.” Dishes like Beer-Battered Celery Root and Fried Bologna Cheesesteak round out this menu of scratch-made, down-home American fare."

"On the outskirts of the Downtown area in Ohio City is the Market Avenue Wine Bar. The interior is spacious, but still cozy and welcoming – it consists of exposed brick walls, low-hanging chandeliers, an oakwood bar, and seating both indoors and outdoors on the patio.

"Across from West Side Market along an adorable cobblestone street lined with street lamps, this wine bar serves amazing views with small plate goodies you can enjoy year-round. Split the artisanal cheese plate and their amazing French Bordeaux. If you’re looking for a cute place for drinks after work with appetizers to share, this place is perfect."

"If you're not in town during an orchestra performance or if you need something a little more casual, check the concert schedules at Agora, House of Blues, Odeon, Grog Shop, Beachland Ballroom or Jacob's Pavilion at Nautica.
