From French-inspired patisseries to family-run delis and inventive modern bakeries, these spots share the same dedication to quality and connection.

Luna Bakery & Café
European-inspired café | Multiple locations
Bright, simple, and always buzzing, Luna Bakery & Café has become a community staple for good reason. Chef Bridget Thibeault’s European-inspired pastries and crepes are made from scratch with fresh, natural ingredients – sweet but never cloying. Regulars stop in for a macaron and latte or settle in for a relaxed brunch of quiche, grain bowls, or paninis. With locations in Moreland Hills, Cleveland Heights, and Downtown Cleveland, Luna keeps its focus on what made it a neighborhood favorite in the first place: thoughtful food, a welcoming space, and a sense that everything is made with care.
Try: Chocolate croissant – Crusty, buttery, flaky

Modern deli & bakery | Ohio City
Housed in a restored 19th-century firehouse in Hingetown, Larder reimagines Jewish comfort food with inventive flair. Chef Jeremy Umansky’s mastery of fermentation – especially his use of koji – adds depth and umami to everything from pastrami to fried chicken, earning the deli a James Beard nomination. Baker Allie La Valle-Umansky’s bread pudding, cheesecake, and black-and-white cookies transform tradition into something transcendent.
Try: Chocolate babka and challah bread pudding, soaked in chocolate – Rich, chocolatey, unforgettable.
