The Nutty Nana smoothie, recommended by the owner, was spot on. Ordered it again today and added a turkey and egg croissant that was the truth. Definitely worth a stop in.

Wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Smoothies, sandwiches, breakfast, lunch and more! There's furniture for littles! Just a great place for a snack or a meal. Stop on by.

I always get the açaí bowl and the turkey and egg bagel sandwich. I’m literally obsessed! It’s hard to find healthy food options in Cleveland, especially that are open u til 7pm! The food is amazing every single time and the portions are generous not skimpy like most “healthy” cafes. The vibe is always enjoyable and the decor is so cute. It’s a MUST TRY , they have lots of options for smoothies, sandwiches and açaí bowls . You even have the option to build your own and pick the fruits you want!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Green Wave on Lorain is a hidden gem in Cleveland! The atmosphere was beautiful, the hospitality was warm, and the service was true 5-star quality. I ordered a smoothie that came in one of the biggest cups I’ve ever had—not only was it delicious, but it lasted my entire trip home. On top of that, the tuna fish sandwich was one of a kind—fresh, flavorful, and super filling. Everything hit the spot, left me full, energized, and impressed. I’d recommend Green Wave over most places that claim they serve healthy food—this spot really does it right. If you’re in Cleveland, this is a must-try.

I love the natural vibe this place gives me! The lady giving the service is such a vibeee. I need there to be more places like this around. My food was de-li-cious. I was gonna have the egg turkey bagel but I had already ate earlier so I had a cream cheese fruit bagel instead. That piña colada I sweaaar it’s the best one I’ve had in my LIFE! This place made my day even better than it already was. Thank you for your service, girl. This place deserves more recognition.

Smoothies were smooth as could be and huge portion sizes. Lox Bagel was loaded with toppings and flavorful. We had the Tropical Dream Smoothie, World's Best Smoothie, Lox Bagel, and Egg Feta & Green. Air quality was in a good range given 3 people in the restauraunt. I'll definitely be back!
