On a Thursday at 10am I visited Ritual after a friend recommendation and I was very satisfied. Being vegan we struggle to find good places to eat locally. I went with the Rose Elixir and Brekky breakfast burrito. The beverage was delicious and the burrito was amazing. Service from the employee was calm and positive, very personable. Food & Service 5/5
The atmosphere I gave 4/5, its positive and Artsy spiritual kinda vibe but could use a cozy touch to step away from the waiting room feeling and more into a small sit down place to eat that it actually is.
My cons list... which are more of opinions really on the business operations. The 'Banker' hours which this business is open is it's biggest limitation. I would personally order before work if they were open for breakfast at 6am when the rest of humanity is dusting off our work boots. Also, prior to writing this felt I would eat there again because it was so good but I saw online Ritual closes at 5pm. 5PM!? So just so the owner reading this knows more than 50% of people cant come here unless its on their day off work. Unless this business is the owners "for fun" business, I don't understand the idea behind that... One more thing I felt at 10am there should be two employees working together rather than having one amazing employee doing the work for two. I observed the employee prepping a large amount of beverages for someone else - handle the guy before me - take my order - clean up from prior order and then make mine and go back to prepping the first large order. I felt bad and tipped well, give em a two...
Read moreRitual Juicery is yet another amazing spot in Collinwood. First of all, you literally can't miss it because it sits on the first floor of the "Pop Life" building, every inch of which has been vibrantly muralized by renowned UK based artist Camille Walala. I can almost promise you have never seen a building like this one :) Then, step foot inside the front door and find yourself seriously stimulated with bright, airy, vibes, guaranteed to wake the senses. I went with two other people and we tried three different bowls, each more colorful than the previous, and all made right on the spot with 100% natural and super fresh ingredients. I will certainly be stopping back in whenever an energy lift is due!
P.S. Can't wait for Pop Life's grand opening in early November so I can start hitting some of the incredible sounding yoga...
Read moreThis is THE place in Cleveland for vegan snacks, juices, smoothies or a quick bite to eat. I recently did their 5 day cleanse/detox/lifestyle reset earlier this year and felt amazing afterwards.
All the juices were delicious and don't even get me started on the food. The kale ceasar is my absolute FAVORITE along with the pesto pasta and while I've tried to recreate them at home it truly isn't the same. The protein bites, chocolate avocado pudding and chia seed pudding were delicious. To be honest it was so much food each day I could barely finish - it left me incredibly fulfilled.
Everything is fresh, flavorful and made with love. I only wish I lived in Cleveland and could visit more often....
