Helio Terra Vegan Cafe

Definitely recommend the Reuben. Grilled cheese is pretty good too. Don’t forget to was is down with a pressed drink. Will return for sure.

This is one of the best places to get vegan food in the city. They have a nice mixture of healthy raw options, healthy cooked options, & not so healthy (but still delicious) vegan sandwiches. The raw sweet potato sandwich is one of my favorite foods in Cleveland. The cashew cheese is one of the best I’ve had. For cooked options, there is a creamy brown rice pasta dish, a reuben, & a creative take on grilled cheese. The owner/​staff are very nice and it seems like they are always trying to improve & add new dishes.

Decided to go out on a limb and walk to this place on my lunch break. It was well worth the walk. Friendly staff, great prices and amazing food! Definitely will be back for more.

First class vegan restaurant. I had a berry smoothie that was top notch and a sweet potato sage burger that was one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. I also had the reuben which was next level. They’re quick and talented. Love this establishment!

I got to Cleveland early for my conference and was able to make a stop for lunch. This place was a bit of a trek from the conference center, but it was well worth the walk! It was also a plus that they offered WiFi.
Unfortunately, this was a Tuesday after a long weekend, and a few items on the menu weren’t available because many of their ingredients are very perishable and they hadn’t had a chance to restock. I settled on the lean green smoothie, the awesome grilled cheese, and the creamy rotini bake. (The latter two could really be lunches for two different people, but I couldn’t resist over-​ordering on purpose.) You really can’t tell this is vegan food, and they have some unique offerings. I especially loved the fig jam in the grilled cheese that added a tang of sweetness to the sandwich. I also found the pricing to be super fair, considering the natural ingredients.
The reason I’m docking a star is that this café really needs more than one person working, especially around the lunch rush. The poor employee was literally taking orders and then running around the kitchen trying to make the food at the same time. I wanted a takeout box, and it took me a long time to get her attention. There was another customer who came in, waited for 10 min without being acknowledged, and walked out.
Other than the understaffing issues, this place was such a treat. I’ll definitely be back if I’m ever in the area again!

The Sweet Potato Sage Burger was bursting with nutrition. All of the ingredients were perfect proportionate and the cashew cream cheese is absolutely to die for!!! I would highly recommend this burger! It is beautiful, satisfying and filling. Perfection! A+++

Great service, good vegan food. These guys have an in-​depth knowledge of vegetarianism and what it means to be vegan. They balance eating healthy with delicious recipes. Can’t wait to eat here again when I’m in Cleveland.

This place and people are exquisite. I have tried multiple dishes and every one has been on point. The ingredients are insanely fresh and of the highest quality. The staff is so great and knowledgeable. The grilled cheese is one of my favorites, made with fig butter and agave… yum! I will be eating here many many more times. Also, I hardly ever find it necessary to write Unilocal reviews but this place is top notch.

Holy zucchini noodles!!! That’s usually my go to dish when given the chance to eat vegan/​raw, so I consider myself to be a zucchini noodle connoisseur. This dish was hands down one of the best zucchini noodle dishes I’ve ever had. What really got me was that it was served WARM! Yumz in my tumz. The cashew alfredo and walnut crumble were also super tasty. I definitely want to come back and try other things on the menu but it will be hard not to order this dish every single time!!! Also had a berry smoothie which was really yummy!
The people working there were super friendly but not annoying friendly (it’s a fine line!!).

I’m glad to have Helio Terra in my work neighborhood. I keep coming back for the salads, juices, and smoothies, and I’ve grown fond of the raw zucchini «noodles.» I’d like to see more seasoning, though, and they have an opportunity to shorten the wait time for takeout.

This place is AWESOME. If you’re a vegan or not — they have a delicious variety of smoothies, juices and amazing raw AND cooked meals. I love the Lean Green smoothie and the Raw Zucchini Noodles with pesto sauce. The fig jam they put on the grilled cheese sandwich is amazing. Owners are lovely people who care about making their customers happy and take pride in good tasting vegan food. The Kale Berry Salad and the Rotini Bake are also heavenly. Highly recommended.

I’m not a vegan, but I do try to work a vegetable day in once a week. So finding interesting vegetable alternatives for lunch is important to me. I tried Helio Terra for lunch today and loved it. Fresh juices and tasty entrees. I will definitely be back.

Oh, how I wish there was a business like this attached to the gym I go to.
This is a very casual all vegan eatery housed within a gym. That sounds more awkward that it actually is. We noticed the hum of a treadmill while we were eating but it wasn’t distracting.
We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and were the only patrons. We had a nice chat with the owner (I think), who told us about how the restaurant is new and evolving and they’re constantly trying to make it better. We sat on some bar stools and enjoyed people watching out the window but there are regular tables to sit at, too.
The menu is broken down into raw and cooked items along with juices and smoothies. It’s nearly impossible to find a vegan Reuben in this town, so I was super jazzed to find one on their menu. I ordered a green juice and a Reuben and my fiancé ordered a chocolate smoothie with a grilled cheese sandwich made with fig jam. Both sandwiches were very solid. There were a lot of other items on the menu that sounded interesting that I’d like to try (raw burger, raw pizza, zucchini noodles, pasta bake, and so many other things)
If you’re into vegan food or would like to give vegan food a try, this is a great place to check out.

Wow, what can I say? I’m not a vegan and I am not typically a fan of rye, pickles, or mustard — but the Ruben sandwich was delicious!
My girlfriend and I stopped in here around dinnertime on a Saturday and found an entirely empty café… Friendly staff and simple but colorful décor… and as I mentioned above, the Reuben was great. Not overpowering but very tasty.
I will be back and I would highly recommend Helio Terra to anyone looking for casual dining options in downtown Cleveland.
