    My son and I had take out yesterday.
    Delicious!!!
    He is vegan and was very happy with the breakfast bowl.
    I had the chicken quesadilla.. the best chicken I have tasted for awhile.
    The interior is very peaceful
    There is a water fountain in the dining area
    Definitely going again!

    While visiting my brother in Cleveland, we decided to stop in for Sunday brunch. I'm vegan but my brother and mom are not, so this cute place had plenty of options for all of us. I was very impressed with the vegan menu and even more pleased with the food. Absolutely delicious! The pancakes were so fluffy and flavorful. The tofu scramble was delicious.....Everything was! Big portions and so very good! I highly recommend Watergarden Cafe!

    So today i stumbled into an amazing local cafe on the outskirts of ohio city, Water Garden Cafe!! Let me tell you all, i am beyond satisfied with my experience here!! It is such a cute, laid back and down to earth, cafe that definitely lives true to its name by the serene waterfall inside. A true hidden Gem  
    I had a 5-course meal, and had nothing leftover to take home it was THAT GOOD!! Everything is so fresh, tasty, and is plated beautifully!! I Started with the Zucchini Roll Ups, Black Bean Tamales, and Spicy Rainbow Soup  the soup was just what i needed for the fall season, and the zucchini roll ups are so refreshing; a necessity!! Finished off with the roasted BEET burger & fresh cut fries with a black garlic aioli  To die for. And the best part is that it was all vegan friendly and DELICIOUS A friend of mine eats meat and got the philly cheesesteak sandwich, and loved it & ate every bit of it! (It looked bomb  ) But whether you're trying to look for a new healthy and delicious food spot, vegan friendly options, or a relaxing environment to grab a bite and catch up with friends, you must stop in and try their awesome creations. The staff is wonderful and very informative, and i will surely be back often!!!  Thanks so much Water Garden!!!

    I have been here twice.

    The first time, the service was really, unbelievably slow. And the food sounded better than it actually was. I got the street tacos and they were greasy and kinda bland.

    Being a vegetarian, the menu has lots of options, so I tried it again for a second time.
    This time, service was faster and my food was tasty. I got the sweet potato burger.
    HOWEVER, my grandma got the BLT. She pulled off the top bread to pull some bacon off. And underneath the bread was a FULL DEAD FLY!!!!!! And the waitress tried to say it fly on in between the kitchen and the able because it was definitely not there in the kitchen. Okay, so she thought the fly flew on up under the bread and DIED in the 30 seconds it took her to come to our table ?!!?!? Lol ok.

    So I didn't really know to rate this pace because I like the vegetarian/vegan appeal of the options, and the atmosphere is really nice. But I'm scarred for life with that full dead fly IN the food....

    I went once and my friend and I were the only two people. Is was very quiet. I was surprised there weren't more people there because it's a really nice cafe. We went for a brunch and I got the vegan waffle and it was very good. The presentation and plating of the food was beautiful and the fountain added a nice touch to the ambiance.
