Very clean and well appointed space with lots of natural light. The owner was working behind the counter and was so nice and funny. The regular coffee was very good... they had a couple of different options along with specialty coffees and cappuccino. My husband had the Al's breakfast which he loved and I had the fruit... it was fresh and delicious! ( The rest of the menu looked very appetizing also. )I think we will eat here again before we leave Cleveland. I highly recommend this place... good food and coffee and really reasonable prices! Great downtown location. what is not to love.

It's been a while since I wrote a review of Al's. I've been dining here occasionally over the last nine years. Every visit has been an excellent experience with my coworkers. They have great staffing, they're friendly, and they're fast. I wonder why I don't visit more often. On this occasion, I requested a gyro wrap because I've been craving them lately. Their sandwiches and wraps are served with potato chips. I also got a fountain drink. They called my order number rather quickly. My gyro wrap was excellent. It was warm and very tasty. It had a good amount of meat on it. I'll be back for more soon!

In town from Maine for an ailing relative. Incredibly juicy corned beef, French fries so tasty and well seasoned, and the whole place had a great vibe. Highly recommend

Man, I hate to give a local place a low review...so I'm rounding up a star. Yea, that disappointing. Let me fill you in+1 for friendly service-1 for LOUD and hard to understand system for order number pick up. +1 for cleanliness-1 for chicken schwarma wrap. Ugh. The chicken wasn't warm, this is the first time I've even seen lettuce on a schwarma wrap before, and no pickles. AND they changed me extra for wanting garlic sauce instead of tahini, and it was STILL DRY. This just made me sad. -1 for the sad, warm, floppy dill pickle on the side. +1 my neighbors sandwhich looked way better. His was piled high with meat (corned beef or pastrami?) and lots of fries. -1 for the cheap bag of chips that were included with mine. They were the saltiest thing I've ever tasted! How about some local...or at least midwestern chips? Something better than these salt licks. Overall they need a quality control overhaul. At least for the chips, pickle, hot sauce (a packet that is dyed red and is more vinegar than hot) and schwarma. I'd come back to try their breakfast as that is what people had told me to try, but man was hoping for a gooood schwarma! Middleastern specialties my foot.

It was just fine. I ordered a roast beef sandwich with a side of fries. The bread was dry and was pretty much what you get at the grocery store. The meat was good and fresh. Fries were seasoned well but not crispy at all. The number system was really loud and unpleasant. The service was nothing special but also not terrible. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for anything super flavorful or special.

Seriously good breakfast sandwich. Went with a bagel, egg, pepper jack and sausage and man this does not disappoint! Easy to order online with instant communication on when it will be ready. Walked in, grabbed off the shelf and walked out. Easy and tasty!

Wonderful place for breakfast. We stayed at an AirBnB in the same building and found this to be the best local place to get a really great standard breakfast. Huge portions and cheap prices. This platter was only $8. It fed myself, husband and toddler. The potatoes were grilled with onions and the eggs nice and fluffy. The sausage has almost a maple syrup taste to it that was really nice. We ended up eating there twice this week it was so good. The workers were so friendly and I loved how they treated my little one so kindly. Great mini diner.

Was visiting Cleveland for business and tried this place for lunch as it was a couple of block from my hotel. I ordered a pastrami on white and coleslaw to go. Once I got back to my hotel room...I realized they actually gave me corned beef -- and it was not good. The bread was soaked through with grease. And absolutely nothing else on the sandwich but meat and bread.The coleslaw was meh.There are a lot of restaurant options in downtown Cleveland...and I wish I had tried a different one.

In town for some business and decided to try a local joint for breakfast. Had a pretty solid scrambled egg, ham, Swiss cheese burrito for breakfast. $8 for the burrito, another $2.50 for coffee. Good deal. Solid food. Not outstanding, but it's a corner deli, cheap, fast, good. Solid four stars.

Al's deli is a hidden gem downtown. Everything is so fresh and I love their corn beef and roast beef. I wish their hours were longer. That's my only complaint.
