Wow! These were the most impressive and delicious breakfast sandwiches that we have had possibly ever. The buns were amazing, dense, buttery and delicious. The coffee and espresso were perfectly brewed. Lemon Lavendar donuts .... I mean just look at them!!Also the staff were super nice! Happily and seamlessly accommodated a substitution for an allergy. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

If you love yourself, go to Terrapin Bakery immediately. If you love the owners, tell all your friends. This place is a Cleveland treasure! A true coffee and donut shop with breakfast sandwiches and some of the best bakery I’ve ever tasted, even in Germany. All the donuts are brioche donuts. Brioche. You read that right. The English muffins are like pillows for your breakfast sandwich. Like nothing you’ve tasted. ... if you give this place less than four stars, seek psychiatric help. These Cleveland entrepreneurs are the best of us. ✌🏼❤️🎵🍩☕️

I stopped in on my way to the Christmas Story House and am so glad I did! An exquisite happenstance for my tastebuds, for sure. The donuts are delicious and unlike any I’ve had before. Crispy on the outside and fluffy and rich inside. One can appreciate the house-made quality of these delectable pastries. (Grandma’s love may be a possible ingredient of the donuts.)The staff is kind and personable. The atmosphere is clean and chill. I enjoyed reading the concert tickets and articles on the counter while I waited for my food. Highly recommend!

This is a locale with all the trappings of your friendly neighborhood bakery. Its got good fresh food, an inviting atmosphere and warm staff/ownership that make you feel like youre family. I got a half dozen donuts, a breakfast sandwich, and the apple cider chai tea and every single one was a culinary jubilee. Make this place your regular bakery stop now please.

This spot was so good I came back for a second coffee within an hour!! As a big boy I also enjoyed their Butterfinger doughnut that indeed made all the worries in my life go away temporarily.More importantly the owners of Terrapin are incredible human beings and were so welcoming. I cant wait until my next trip to Cleveland as this will be my first stop.- The Raiders Fan from Albuquerque

Stopped in for the first time today and O M G. The owners (I assume) were so sweet and the food was incredible. We missed the fresh donuts but snagged the last two “day old” donuts, still amazing. Also probably the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. Amazing coffee too, can’t wait to go back!

Amazing coffee shop and bakery and amazing service. You cant go wrong with anything. If you want breakfast get there early because they can sell out. New brioche buns are out of this world....truly a gem for Tremont!

Stopped in with my family for some breakfast sandwiches. I’m from out of town. The owners made me feel like I was home and were very pleasant. We got egg and cheese on their homemade brioche, which was delicious. Lattes were great tasting too. Very affordable. Definitely give this place a look if you are nearby!

Courtney and Jackson were genuinely kind and conscientious. Our stop at Terrepin Bakery was a highlight of our weekend meet up in Cleveland. Our drives back home to Milwaukee and New York respectively were brighter because of our brief connection with them. The road trip home felt sweet while noshing on the amazing donuts, delicious quiche and sipping the steaming coffee. We will definitely return!

Got a cold brew coffee which was delicious, and a lemon lavender donut that was seriously one of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Just really good coffee, simple and no frills. I didn’t meet the baker, but the coffee owner Jackson is a really cool and nice person.

Coffee is great, and the toasted almond donut is AMAZING. The cinnamon roll is perfectly soft with a crunchy exterior, and not overly sweet. Do not hesitate to check this place out with its cool Dead vibes

Review №29

Have stopped by a few times now after discovering Terrapin a couple months ago. Holy moly! I am quickly becoming obsessed with their donuts. Not overly sweet and kinda croissant-like, these donuts are unlike most and truly top notch. The only donuts in Northeast Ohio that are in the same breath for me are the ones from the LaGrange IGA bakery. Bought a bunch to share with friends today, theyre so good!

Some of the nicest people you will ever be able to find. Location is right off the freeway with convenient parking all around. They will help you make your selection and are always up for a chat. The doughnuts are amazing and have that roasted raised dough flavor that very few bakeries do. Dont pass this place up, especially with all the other wonderful bakeries in the area.

I had one lemon curd and one raspberry/lemon doughnut. Man oh man, so good. Toothsome dough. Great flavors. I brought a few others to share at work and theyre definitely at risk of being eaten by me before anyone else can see them. Sure, theyre not the cheapest, but theyre head-and-shoulders above anything else for miles. Better than Jack Frost and Royal.

What a wonderful little coffee shop. I didnt have a donut but they looked absolutely delicious. Everything is so colorfully decorated.

I had a chai apple cider tea and it was amazing

*BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH IN CLE* Donuts are great but my fav is the egg and cheese english muffin sandwich. The english muffins are made in house and are lightyears better than what you get in the store. The egg is perfectly cooked with cheddar on top and cream cheese on the bottom.

Review №75

So heres the story. I was in a super hurry to get to work and just about blew past this place, resigned to yet another coffee at they-who-shall-not-be named drive-thru. Saw the cute little corner shop with the flag out and pulled a nice illegal u-turn to try them out. Wow, how have I not been here?? Convenient location, parking, and stellar post Covid set-up. He has converted his front door to a nice little walk up window, and even wheeled all the delicious baked goodies to the storefront so you can still pick out your treat.On to the coffee and doughnut. Mine was a cold brew and a lemon lavender. Best doughnut I have ever had. Holy yum. Perfect texture, not too insanely sweet, its what I call, a grown-up doughnut. Cold brew was very tasty and not too strong. I really loved the straw made out of...guess what...straw. Quite clever. This is absolutely going to be a regular stop when we take our kids back to school in Tremont.

Cute as a bug and populated with persons of friendly nature, if Terrapin had good coffee drinks, it would be perfect. Malheureusement, those havent arrived (and seem a long way off, yet).I ordered a latte but got what was, in truth, a cuppucino. And not a good cuppucino. The milk had been heated well over 160, destroying the sweetness good steaming is meant to impart. The coffee itself might have come from decent, well-roasted beans but were not of sufficient excellence to overcome the spent milk.I was left with a Starbucks-like cheap-coffee taste, followed by a Starbucks-like cheap-coffee aftertaste. I hope things improve, and Ill certainly give Terrapin another try in a few months, but, for now, I just cant recommend going there for coffee.

This place is awesomesauce! I was having a really off morning and it was very obvious and he talked to me about it. I was honestly blown away by his genuine sincerity and niceness!

Review №93

First time there. My first impression is that the coffee is expensive. $3.75 for the largest size of straight coffee. Latte $4.50. it did appear that they had in house baked goods. Im go for coffee only. I got their large previa (sorry miss spelled) blend. It was a medium roast. Got it black. It tasted old. After less than 20 minutes there was a definite change in taste. Very much like Starbucks. This is usually a sign of over roasted beans. It is done usually to cut expences on coffee. You can then make a pot of coffee with less coffee. I dont mind paying for a good cup of coffee if it is a good cup of coffee. This was not.Staff was friendly. Good service.

Review №94

Great place. Try the cherry almond croissant if its available.Had to edit:Well. Court and Jacksonian reopened the inside and bow sell amazing bakery items like what! I would say its the best bakery/coffee place in the city. You might say, “ how can we trust what you say is true Eric?” Glad you asked. We were gonna move put of Tremont and now we are staying, because of this place. Thats how good it is. Laine and I are choosing to live here because we know we won’t get this in the burbs.VIVA LA TERRAPIN BAKERY!!!!
