Went for a cup of coffee and pastry. The line at the counter is challenging as multiple people are standing around, and it's hard to tell who is in line vs. who is waiting for their orders. Once you get past that, the staff was friendly and helpful, picking out what to eat. Parking in front of the building is challenging, but there is a parking lot behind the building to use. The pastry I got was delicious, and the coffee was hot. I would go back for the food next time I'm in the area, but I would try to find another location for an elevated cup of coffee. If you found this review helpful, please give a 👍

Great place for breakfast or just to hang out! It's set up like a cafe, and there's plenty of seating for singles or groups. It's quiet, and there's plenty of street parking. They serve breakfast until 10am, noon on weekends. Then they start serving the sandwiches and salads at 10am. I just wanted to try a bunch of stuff, so I ordered the Cinnamon Croissant, Ham and Cheese Croissant, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Egg Sandwich, and Potato Corn Chowder Soup. Nothing I got was bad, and I can wholeheartedly recommend the Ham and Cheese Croissant and the Egg Sandwich! I also ordered an Iced Mocha Latte. The baked goods tasted fresh, and the sandwich and soup were hot and delicious! I can't wait to come back again and try their lunch options!

The breads and soups are amazing. All the employees are super nice. Just one request: please expand your vegan pastry selection! There's only one option - a chocolate chunk cookie with an overwhelming coconut flavor.

I have been going to this establishment for half a decade multiple times a week. Given my last experience, I’ll never return. I placed an order in an almost empty cafe. My soup was never served in error while the remainder of my order was. Server working the front stated multiple times he’ll just have to trust me on my order and serve this soup with great displeasure. Then asked me about buzzer number multiple times and questioned me about this soup. Confrontation about soup I paid for is not how I want to spend my weekend. Causing a scene at a cafe and questioning a regular about soup is very strange. In any case, you kept your soup and lost a long-time customer. Perhaps learn who your regular customers are and treat them with dignity and humanity. You will continue losing customers with this level of service.

Great place with a ton of selections EXCEPT ANYTHING VEGAN So if you're not vegan this is a great stop but if you're vegan, you can't even get toast after 10:30. That's OK. Just hummus and roasted vegis, the last thing most any vegan wants. So maybe they will see this and make some changes but until then they are not really all to concentrated on sustainable practices. Kinda sad. But again, great selection otherwise and very speedy service.

I drove 1 hour and 5 minutes to The Stone Oven on a personal quest to find an establishment who could reproduce a Breton Kouign Amann that I tried in Paris, France. This buttery treat was one of the best things that I have tried and I'm sure one of the unhealthiest. I've even tried ordering these tasty treats online and unfortunately, none of them look like the Kouign Amann I tried in Paris; which were rolled a less than an inch thick and approximately 5 inches in a circular diameter. So after some investigation I noticed this item appeared on the menu and I had to take a chance. I found a 15 minute parking space just out front on a 12:00 pm Saturday. Inside was pretty full and you really couldn't tell where to start or where the line began. I had to figure it out by noting where the registers were. I was pleasantly approached by a young lady asking what I would like and I scanned the the entire area not noticing what I was looking for so I asked for the Kouign Amann and she said I have 2 left. I instantly said, "I'll take them and to my surprise they looked like a flowery croissant that was baked in a pan with a sugary top. The one I tried in Paris had a Caramelized bottom. I decided to try other items such as the ham and cheese and a few glazed croissants. Although these Kouign Amann's weren't exactly what I expected that were still good. She boxed everything up for me and had me rung up within 2 minutes. If I lived locally, I would definitely check out other items.

The problem with reviews if you don't get a second response for the half assed response given by the place of business. Ask your servers for help I couldn't get one to look at me. Except for the one of the cash register who kept looking at me every time she finished an order. Never asked me. Again, all you need to do with the back door is to put up a sign that says go to the front door. You don't have that. That's why I'm not coming back because you don't listen to your customers. And then here's the review I left on Richard Longden 57 reviews·4 photos I didn't get a chance to eat it. I didn't get a chance to order it. There's no signage that I could see as to where to stand to make an order. So I stood as close to somebody who I thought was in line as possible. Not good enough. These people are flying around like chickens with their heads cut off. They never looked at me. They just went right down the line and says who can I help not where I was. Never looked at anybody just shouted it out and then they wash their hands like Pilate and say no mea culpa here. It's not like it's the most necessary menu in the world to sample. So I don't think I'm missing too much. Parking is difficult. The spaces are small and you're gonna get your car dinged every time you're there. Just food for thought before you have food that you can't order. But as I always say it's always about service and service is always about signage. You only have one chance in the world to impress me and you missed the Mark.

I am visiting family and friends in Cleveland. Had free time so grabbing lunch before seeing a movie. I was looking for a place to grab a salad. Walking into Stone Oven Bakery there was a short line, as I arrived during the lunch rush. The line quickly moved and cafe worker took my order. There are a lot of bakery, sandwich and salad options. I settled on the Chicken Romaine Salad. I also ordered an Iced Coffee. The coffee was ready right away while I waited a couple of minutes for my salad. The salad included a slice of fresh bread, which was delicious. Chicken, cucumbers, red peppers and croutons were stacked on the salad. It came wear balsamic vinaigrette. Everything worked well together and I enjoyed the salad. This is definitely a good stop if you are in the Cedar Lee area. I don't often come to this area but it is a nice spot.

This is a lovely quaint bakery. They make good sandwiches. If you are near by and need a snack or lunch, then yes pop in. I would not make a special trip. The bread was very soft and good. The meat and cheese are quality the side cold salad was good. Service: order at counter, not the most friendly. And you pick up your food and then bus your own table.

This place has great pastries, the Russian tea biscuits are a super secret yummy thing to try but you need to come early to get some! They have solid coffee, tea and drinks hot and cold to complete their goodies. They also make hot breakfast sandwiches which look great. There is seating that is hightop or eight tables. And there's ample parking outside, which is close to the entrance.

Best bakery in the area by far. Great lunch spot with decent sandwiches and tasty soups. But the real stars are the cookies and deserts. The service is usually on point and the back patio is a great place to relax and enjoy a coffee and desert.

We got the oatmeal, egg sandwich, and eggs scramble with peppers and sausage. It was really good!!! I loved all their bakery items, would love to come back for more.

Stone Oven is bustling. I'm still working my way through their entire bread selection. So far, my favorite artisan bread is the Miller's Multigrain. It contains whole wheat flour, sunflower kernels, sesame seeds, flax seeds, oat groats, and honey. They have a nice selection of pastries. My favorite are their tea biscuits. It's layers of flakey dough with different flavor fillings (like apricot, poppyseed, or chocolate) stuffed in between. It's quite large and lasts me two days, and is great on it's own, dipped in coffee, or alongside tea.

This place has one of the best almond croissants that I've ever had. Flaky crust, buttery inside, and well-balanced filling. Very reasonable price too.

We were staying in an Airbnb in Cleveland Heights while on vacation and, of course, had to scope out the nearest coffee shop, so we headed to Stone Oven. We were disappointed their espresso machine was out of order but figured we could get regular coffees. I ordered the scrambled eggs with mushrooms, sausage, and cheddar. It came with multigrain toast. I got a decaf iced coffee and a piece of pecan coffee cake. Christopher got the challah French toast and a cold brew. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer that will go off when your food is ready. Meanwhile, you must wait at the counter for your drinks. I grabbed a table (there are many, including long high tops) and Christopher returns with his drink but tells me I must see the server about my decaf. It seems they use the espresso machine to make iced decaf. I told her to just put ice in hot decaf. It was very nice. My food was very good. I loved the eggs. One downside is they don't butter your hot toast so it came out dry. They didn't give us any butter so we had to ask for it. Therefore, the butter wasn't all melts like I like. It still was very good! Christopher really liked his French toast. Christopher got a lemon muffin, which was delicious. My coffee cake was good. We liked the place so much we went back the next day, too. This time, I got the yogurt with granola, which was terrific! Loved all the coconut and dried fruit in it. Christopher got the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, onions, and cheese. I got a hot coffee this time and, I'm sorry to say, it didn't have much flavor. Overall, two good meals, but please get your espresso machine repaired.

Fantastic find. Everything was perfect. Staff was amazing. Oatmeal delicious. Pastries were amazing. Enjoyed my visit.

Good baked items. Super disappointing curried chicken salad sandwich. Literally chicken salad and a piece of lettuce on dry bread. Nothing blends it together. I asked for a side of mayo but still had to get rid of a slice of bread to make it moist enough to eat. So dry. The chicken salad was flavorful and mildly sweet.

On 4/10/23 The service at this location is the worst I've ever seen. I place my order online for pick up, which was ready at the time specified. However, when you order hot drinks they wait until you arrive to make them and understandably so. Upon picking up the order I went to the counter to inform the staff that I had two coffees with my online order. Keep in mind that these coffees are medium decaf with oat milk and caramel. The young man proceeds to look at my receipt and then turns to pour two regular coffees and handed them to me. I said excuse me, these were supposed to be decaf. He again turns to pour two decafs and handed them to me. Again, I said, with carmel and oat milk. He then proceeds to pump the caramel into the cups right in front of me and then reaches to get the oat milk and told me to pour it myself. How rude, unsanitary and unprofessional! We had to come home and heat our coffees in the microwave after being made to pour cold oat milk into our hot coffee. My daughter wanted to go to Starbucks but I decided to order coffee from Stone Oven with our breakfast as I often do. Now she's like, see, I told you to go to Starbucks. I've been patronizing this location for many years and have been served by some of the nicest people and at times some of the nastiest and most unprofessional people and today's visit was the latter. Please let me know when the nice professionals are back so I don't have to write reviews like this about John's restaurant. Sorry John.

For one wonderful weekend, my friends and I stayed down the street from the Stone Oven, reveling in the glory that is Cleveland. To be perfectly honest, we reveled a little too hard in the evenings, and we were near death in the morning-time.* Each day though, the gorgeous pastries and apparently excellent coffee (I don't drink the stuff, but everyone else does) from this adorable little shop brought us back to life, and let us begin the cycle anew. ____________ *It was our first weekend away from our baby, and we acted accordingly.

Amazing, delicious croissants!!! I have had the cinnamon and the glazed so far. Yummy coffee.

I keep seeing rave reviews about The Stone Oven, so I had to give it a try. The last time I tried it was at the beginning of the pandemic, and my friend and I didn't get to the bakery until 1PM so the pastries seemed a little stale. This time I went a little before 10AM...but the pastries still didn't have the flakiness I was expecting. The mushroom gruyere was on the cold side and the filling ran a bit mushy. However, I went home and popped the baguette in the toaster over with some rosemary cheese and tomato soup and it was the fanciest thing ever, so maybe this is just one of those bakeries that needs a bit of reheating.

Dari T.

Yelp
In all fairness, I just popped in for a to go order. The service was fast, but very transactional with no small talk, and it wasn't even busy inside. The coffee was okay, but the pastries were on point. Very cleanly, and visually appealing atmosphere though! Was in a nice location, and Im glad I made the visit :)

Stone Oven is located in the Cedar Lee business district with a nice storefront. During the pandemic they are providing takeout and have the front and rear patios available; they are not permitting any in store dining. Guests are required to wear masks and practice social distancing. Stone Oven provides many options depending on what you are looking for; they are a bakery, a cafe and a coffee house. They do a great job with everything providing simple straightforward food at a reasonable price. The food is principally soups, salads and sandwiches all of which are nicely made and filling. The baked goods are hearty and tasty. Service is prompt and friendly, food is good and atmosphere is relaxed, what more could you ask for.

I've been here a couple times and the pastries make my mouth water just thinking about them!! The pesto egg galette is truly a must try!! The pesto complimented the gooey egg and flaky crust perfectly. And the runny egg yolk served warm was literally all I want in my breakfast. Don't sleep on it!!!! Their barista is serving up all sorts of unique syrups including lavender latte!! highly recommend.

The breakfast sandwhich was amazing and reasonably priced. Even better - the staff. They were cheerful and actually seemed happy. It's been so long... I was reminded... that.. at least for me... food tastes better when it's served with a smile (which is not to take away from the superior quality of the bread and attention paid toward my delightful meal).

My latte was delicious, the atmosphere was inviting and clean, and the service was quick and very friendly-- offered to make their version of a favorite Starbucks drink of mine without me even asking. The croissant I got was literally the best I have ever had, it was heaven!

Our group was really excited to try this place out and was instantly disappointed. The way the girls working the front was nothing but disrespectful. We walked in and there was no one at the counter and no one behind us but they were eager to take our order and seemed irritated that we were not ready to order after ONE minute of being there. I understand if there was a line behind us but I repeat, we were the only ones ordering at the time. I have never walked into such a lovely cafe before and had such awful customer service. I don't even remember the last time I did not tip anyone in the industry but I could not even pity tip her by how absolutely rude she was. From when we ordered when she said "are you staying or no?" to when they were calling our order out and got irritated that we didn't recognize the incorrect name that she put our order under. I have not wanted to leave an establish as fast as I did this afternoon. What an absolute shame as the food is actually delicious. And that is the only reason why I gave a 2 star review instead of 1.

The breakfast sandwhich on croissant was absolutely delicious. It made my day. For $12, it better. For when you want to treat yoself.

If you're looking for a light lunch or a sweet treat this place is great. They have a wide selection of cakes, cookies, danishes, etc. They also have some wonderful sandwiches and salad selections. There's daily soup specials, often vegetarian and vegan. Today I ordered the crosstown sandwich, it's turkey, bacon, Swiss, lettuce, tomato and mayo. I did sub the mayonnaise with their honey mustard, which has an amazing kick of flavor and bite. I ordered it on challah, but they were out so I switched to multigrain. I chose tabouli as my side. In addition to the bread being out I had some issues paying. I attempted to use a gift card and the girl admitted they have trouble sometimes. I switched to cash and ended up waiting quite a while. I was approached after several minutes with an explanation the they ran out of sliced tomato. She offered me a cookie, but I declined. I later found an extra side of tabouli in my container. :) The sandwich was pretty amazing, the meat is thick cut and hearty. The bread is really why you pay $8 for a sandwich, fresh and awesome. I've also overheard multiple people discuss how the peanut butter is extra good there. I'll have to try it on toast in the future. The tabouli I've come to accept. The very first time I ordered it I was expecting a classic parsley rich tabouli. Once I tried it and understood what I was ordering I became much less upset. (Mediterranean Market in Middleburg Heights has kind of spoiled me...) It makes sense, prepping a primarily herb dish has a shorter shelf life. The lemon goodness is still present, and if you're going with a friend I suggest one of you get chips to dip with. I did choose a dessert, which isn't extremely common for me. When my eyes met the almond vanilla twist covered in sesame seeds I could not resist. It was crisp and flakey on the outside yet soft and flavorful on the inside. The almond and vanilla mixing with the toasty sesame seeds really satiated my subtle sweet tooth. I love my local bakery within walking distance!

I called the store three times. The first time someone was talking in the background and hung up on me. The second time, someone answered and hung right up without saying anything. The third time when someone answered the person was rude and did not have good customer service. She was very nasty. I did not place my order over the phone. I went the story and told the owner what happened. She offered and apology and said she will listen to the recording of the call. I wasn't offered a cup of coffee or anything for her rudeness or even wasting my time. I use to love stopping at this restaurant. They lost a customer today.

I'm here once a week, and the service is always good. Excellent bakery with great sandwiches - I recommend The Joey. I also like the fresh coffee with oat milk.

We had a nice afternoon meal here. We went on a Saturday around 3:00 p.m. and it was completely empty. There was one other customer sitting on the back patio which, is beautiful by the way. Very relaxing atmosphere. Also nice that there is plentiful free parking in the back. They have lots of options for a variety of dietary restrictions. We did not try any of their baked goods but instead had soup and a sandwich. They're cold chocolate drink was also delicious. Just overall a really nice place to relax and get a quick bite to eat fairly priced for the quality and the area.

I absolutely love this place - I've been coming here for years. I was first introduced to this place by friends, and now it's one of my bf's Cleveland favorites! He describes it as a local/better quality Panera, and in some ways I'd say he's right - their fare mainly consists of soups, salads, and sandwiches, with a bakery that sells loaves and baked treats to take home. However, the quality really is on another level. One of my favorite sandwiches is the chicken curry on Sicilian, and I've taken their Pugliese loaves to dinner parties before as well. I haven't tried many of the desserts yet, but I definitely will soon once this isolation is over! All in all, I've never had a bad experience, and for the price and lovely dining area, this is a perfect spot for a cozy lunch with a friend.

This Lee Road cafe is certainly well known for its lunch menu of sandwich, soups, and salads. However what is often overlooked is the breakfast menu! For the early risers looking for a delicious savory breakfast option, the doors here open at 7AM (weekday) and 8AM (weekend). My favorite breakfast menu item is the Scrambled eggs. This is essentially a customizable buttery omelette - absolutely tasty when you add in the sausage, swiss cheese, and all the vegetables. Comes with a side of Toast. Budget-friendly ($7) and time-friendly (typically less than 10 minutes to prepare). Have a coffee or nibble on a croissant/baked good while you wait. This is a perfect filling breakfast for those in the neighborhood that are on their way to work. Will certainly last you until lunch time!

I apologize but this review is for the Woodmere Village, OH Stone Oven. On Chagrin Blvd.. The food is good but the service is questionable. I'm 6 ft tall and the young lady behind the counter overlooked me and asked to take the order of someone that just walked up When I ordered French toast for my 7 yr old, the lady behind the counter sighed as if she didn't want to make it. Eventually I didn't order but it was obvious I was unhappy with their service. 4 of the 7 people behind the counter stared at me, my 7 yr old and my 60 yr old mother in a way that was very unprofessional. I rarely write reviews, especially negative ones, but half of their staff needs to reconsider their occupation.

EVERYTHING is great here! Cheap prices for big servings when ordering the food. Service is friendly and fast. Whether you get a loaf, pastry, breakfast sandwich, or coffee you will not be disappointed.

I'm writing a second review because I love this place that much!! Run to Stone Oven!! I had the best soup I've had in years the other day, chicken and rice! The paparkash soup is amazing, Turkey sandwich tastes like heaven, multigrain bread is perfection and the Jaina salad is amazing too! Oh and if you're lucky enough to get a slice of pizza you'll be standing in line at noon again because it's that good! Love, love, love this place!

After waking up one Sunday morning, I decided I would start my day off by going to a bakery and cafe to get my much needed bread fix. I noticed that The Stone Oven Bakery was near my current home in Cleveland, and the pictures featured on Google Maps looked enticing enough - I set my heart to check the cafe out. I got there at 10 AM, and finding free parking was a bit difficult. There is a designated parking lot for the various mini boutique shops lined on this particular street, but it was 1) coin-based meter parking only (I don't really carry coins around) and 2) I'd rather put my money to use on food than on parking (Yeah you can call me Cheapskate Anna). Luckily, I found out that you could just park for free on the curb RIGHT next to this parking lot! Parking lot hack! When I entered the cafe, it was bustling with energy. Families with their young children were happily munching down on their breakfast plates, and elderly couples were quietly sipping on their coffee mugs, seemingly appreciating the environment around them. The line was a bit long, but the employees behind the counter were working hard to keep the line moving at a fast pace. I ordered the French Toast Sandwich (basically, a Monte Cristo) and I couldn't resist buying a pastry to go along with it too. The pastry selections were all very enticing, but I ended up choosing the Raspberry Cream Cheese Croissant! I also got a Cafe Au Lait made with Almond Milk as my drink (They offer Whole Milk, Skim Milk, Almond Milk, and Soy Milk. Almond Milk is actually an extra 50 cents). The French Toast Sandwich was definitely hefty...listen, I'm not a quitter when it comes to food, but I actually could not finish this plate. It was too heavy of a dish for my liking, especially for breakfast. The French Toast portion was delicious, especially because they actually use Challah bread that they bake in-house. Although the bread slices weren't as thick to my liking, the dough was still very soft and pillowy with just enough "spring" in it to give each mouthful of French Toast a satisfying chew. However, the cheese in particular overpowered the joy of eating the French Toast. It was a thick slice of melted cheese in comparison to the thickness and volume of the bread, so much so that I tasted more of the savoriness of the cheese and ham more than the sweetness of the bread. I realized I'm not really a fan of sweet and savory mashups in one dish. I'd recommend getting the regular French Toast plate instead. Now, what really blew me away was the Raspberry Cream Cheese Croissant, and I am SO glad I chose this pastry! Oh my goodness, each bite was pure BLISS. With each bite into the pastry, I was able to experience a "crunch," caused by the crispier exterior of the croissant, followed by layers and layers of thin, but airy, sheets of dough. As I got closer to the core of the croissant, I was able to experience sheets of fluffy dough enveloping a neat spread of cream cheese and raspberry jam. Something about the concoction of lightly salted cream cheese with sweet jam is so magical. The Cafe Au Lait with Almond Milk was okay - nothing too special, in my opinion. It simply tasted like...coffee with frothed almond milk. Not sure how else to explain it, because it was quite a simple drink. I'm a fan of Almond Milk, but I think next time I'd prefer to save on the extra 50 cents and just go the Whole Milk route, or simply drink their locally roasted house coffee. I really loved this cafe. I'd stick to just trying out their pastries, as well as their dessert delicacies (such as cake!). Weekends definitely seem to be more crowded, so if you want a good table to sit at, try to come earlier (around 8-9 AM would be good)!

The Stone Oven has been a favorite of our family for over 15 years and we still love their bread, pastries and coffee as much as ever. I would like to say that many friends recommended the expensive "On the Rise" on Fairmount, but after giving them a try, nothing they have compares with Stone Oven. Whether you buy a couple loaves of bread (multigrain is a favorite), eggs for breakfast (get them loaded with everything), a sandwich (their tabouli is awesome!) or coffee and a pastry, it is always delicious and satiating experience. And during Covid, it is a favorite place for us to get carry out. Bon apetit!

Jean R.

Is there anyone like me who would like 1) the menu to have some new additions and 2) a better salad dressing? That being said, the soups are delicious and we are nearing soup season. And, in the last few visits I have had better service than in previous years. I wish I loved Stone Oven, but I can never move past like.

This cafe is always busy when I come, but the wait isn't too bad. They recently redid their menu and they now have pizza! Not in the normal slice sense but they got thick square slices that are perfect for lunch. Obviously I had to order pizza because, it's pizza. One nice thing about ordering pizza here is that they hear it up in just a couple minutes so you don't really need to wait anywhere near as long as you would have to with ordering a sandwhich or a salad. The pizza itself was a decent amount of food if you aren't a competitive eater. I forked and knifed it since it was a little thicker. I was and still am a little ashamed of doing that, very unamerican. It tasted like pizza. It was tasty, nothing to call your mom up and tell about though.

We picked up sandwiches to go at The Stone Oven. My friends got the chicken tarragon sandwiches, which they enjoyed. I got the roasted veggie sandwich that comes with eggplant, zucchini, red pepper, and artichoke pesto. I'm vegan, and I admit that I probably have the palate of a 5 year-old. The red pepper over-powered the flavor and texture of half my sandwich, so I removed it from the other half. It was better, but not great. My chips were tasty too. The next time I'm in town, I'll probably try the vegan club instead. We also got chocolate chip cookies - vegan for me, regular for my friends. They were fantastic!

Definitely enjoyed this coffee shop/cafe! Came here with a friend to study for my finals and enjoyed my cup of Americano and the soup of the day so very much. My egg salad sandwich was a bit more on the bland side, but I will definitely be back!

One of my favorite coffee shops, love the lemon squares. Lunches are healthy and of generous size. Their sister place Luna offers macaroons and I wish those could find their way to lee road
