Our Story
Welcome to Cleveland Bagel Cafe, Lakewood!
The primary mission at Cleveland Bagel Co. is to make something really great to eat. We created our Cleveland-style bagels after carefully researching what bagels used to be. Not too dough-y, not too sweet, Cleveland Bagel Co. bagels are smaller, full of flavor, and chewy, with a crisp exterior that we’ve spent countless hours perfecting. Our first brick and mortar shop opened in the Ohio City neighborhood in 2016. In 2019, we opened a second location in the Midtown neighborhood, followed in 2022 by a satellite cafe location in Kent.
Lakewood has been in our sights for years, and we are excited to finally open our first official Cleveland Bagel Cafe just west of downtown. The cafe has all of the elements you know and love about Cleveland Bagel: fresh, hot, malty, hand rolled bagels, shmears, breakfast sandwiches and great coffee. Additionally, we offer a larger sandwich menu, a variety of pastries and snacks, monthly specials, and a full espresso bar. While many Cleveland Bagel customers are often on the go, the cafe has a limited amount of seating for those who want to hang out and savor the full experience.
Our Lakewood cafe guarantees the same sense of community building, quick and friendly service, and truly delicious scratch made food our customers expect. We value hard, honest work and believe those efforts shine through in our end product. Come by, say hi and enjoy what many have called the best bagels on the planet.
