The Judith

gorgeous space, warm friendly owners and team, delicious food and coffee....this is a really special place on the edge of the super cool ohio city neighborhood. you'll be glad you visited. highly recommend!

I love the interior and vibe of this cafe, and the drinks we got did not disappoint! some more pastry and food options would elevate this spot even further!

Gorgeous Café! It's such a beautiful French inspired cafe with great coffee and amazing customer service!! Will be my go to from now.

This cafe is really cute and the staff was very friendly! It seemed like a place you could hang with friends or to work. Parking was easy.
I got a cold brew and it was honestly one of the best I have ever had!! I also got the Whipped Labneh and Preserve and wow that was delicious!!
The one time I went it was in the 50s outside and there was cold air coming out of all the vents so it was chilly in there but I’m not sure if that’s always how it is or if something was wrong with the HVAC that day.

Fabulous decor, kind service and one of the best meals I’ve recently had in Cleveland. What a gem - I’m already planning my return!

Beautiful space, wonderful coffee and lunch and desserts! Friendly staff, Julianne is a delight :)

This little gem is amazing and very authentic! Loved it from the ambiance to the excellent food!
Tried to go again on a Saturday - but too crowded! So happy for the lovely owners - great “problem” to have🥖🥖

Get transported to the French countryside at Judith. Step inside (using the LEFT door) and you'll see that Lorain Ave's newest cafe hits just the right notes of vintage, warmth, and eclectic - a creative salon and wonderful repurposing of old architecture.

Finding your way here is a little confusing, but there's a small sign on the sidewalk indicating your goal. There's a small surface lot directly next to the compact, nondescript building as well as free street parking.

The Judith isn't very big, and she's glowing with grand opening energy right now so come early if you want to secure a table. There's plenty of booths, two window nooks, and a few small hightops to enjoy your coffee and a book all day at. Tables along the wall have access to a few scattered power outlets along the partially exposed brick.

The energy of the staff is glowing too. If you dine in, the staff will bring your order to you from the small kitchen. Pastries, snacks, and Onyx coffee products are available all day while the larger plates on the "Later" menu (with more to come!) are available starting around 10:30A. The coffee was delicious, as was the food, but a little pricey for the portion size. À la Paris perhaps. If you appreciate the quality of the ingredients and ambiance of The Judith, this doesn't detract from the experience. For purchase also are pre-packaged products like Ghia non-alcoholic beverages and small batch vinegar.

Being a well-loved 125 year old building, the one thing that might pose a problem for those with mobility issues is the bathroom located down a creaky flight of stairs. The basement is dark, the ceiling is pretty low (watch your heads tall friends!), and you'll likely have to bend your knees to reach the bathroom door handle, but the toilette is almost charming and exactly how you'd imagine a rustic, French cafe toilette to be - if you'd ever thought about it before.

A lovely breakfast and lunch spot! Cool vibe with a refined palette! A great addition to the neighborhood!

This place truly deserves 10 stars!! Great atmosphere, great food, and the coffee…don’t get me started on the coffee. Check it out!
