🇺🇸 Cleveland Food | Who Understands the Gold in This Bite? 🥹✨

1️⃣ Coca's Bakery 🍰 While heading to the highly recommended Dagu Rice Noodle, our Uber driver accidentally dropped us off at this unplanned stop—Coca's Bakery! 🚗💨 Though skeptical at first, we stepped inside and were shocked to find the tiny shop packed with people on a cold winter day! ❄️ The prices were unbelievably affordable compared to New York 🤑. We grabbed a few items randomly, and to our surprise, they were still warm! The taro mochi bun 🍞 was especially heavenly—soft, fragrant, and tasted just like home 🥹. It instantly cured my winter blues! Highly recommended! The shop also sells frozen buns for DIY meals—great value! 2️⃣ Dagu Rice Noodle 🍜 One word: FLAVOR! 😋 This place beats all the rice noodle spots I’ve tried in New York. The broth is light yet rich, like an upgraded version of A-Sha Noodle. Their menu is diverse, prices are friendly, and the milk tea is a delightful bonus 🧋! A must-try! 3️⃣ West Side Market 🥬 This felt more like a bustling grocery store or a middle-class market. With Christmas around the corner 🎄, the place was lively with shoppers stocking up on "holiday goods" 🛒. We bought beef jerky from three different stalls—the honey barbecue flavor was the winner! 🍖 It’s cheaper and tastier than convenience store jerky, with a homemade touch. We also grabbed some macarons and desserts 🍪, which were decent. ⚠️ Note: The market is relatively small, and most vendors sell semi-prepared Western foods. As a tourist, you’ll likely only shop for spices, jerky, and sweets—30 minutes is enough to explore! 📍Final Thoughts: Cleveland’s food scene is full of surprises—from accidental bakery discoveries to soul-warming noodles and nostalgic markets! Don’t miss these spots if you’re in town 🏙️❤️. #USA #USTravel #Cleveland #ClevelandCavaliers #Foodie #HiddenGems #OffTheBeatenPath #DaguRiceNoodle #ClevelandTourism #FoodieUniverse 🍜🎉
