Heart of Gold

Amazing spot on Lorain Ave, amazing service also and I am finding this at all the spots on Lorain Ave. You got BBQ, donuts, pizza, sandwiches, coffee, non-alcoholic bar with amazing teas all in this little strip! WowSo glad I'm close to all you!

I've tried this place twice now, and recommended it to others, and it's really hit or miss. I tried to come for brunch on a Sunday, and the staff hesitantly let my group in. They hesitated because they said the chef wasn't there and it would be "at least 15 minutes" -- okay, fine. Stuff happens! The part that was a miss was that we sat (nearly 30 minutes) waiting for the chef to arrive and no one asked us if we wanted coffee or drinks (things they could totally have offered us). The table had mixed reviews of their food -- The Griddler was a hit as well as the Hangover Burger. I ordered Loaded Breakfast Fries (which were okay but a little overwhelming as one person) and paid for adding "country gravy" -- when I got the fries there was nothing on it and when I asked they said "oh it's on there but I'll get you a side" and it was a watery, brown gravy -- not country gravy at all. Another member got a biscuits and gravy meal that must have recently been removed from the menu -- and that's probably a good thing. I wish our experience would have been better. I want to like this place because it's so cute and the menus look good, but the taste, experience and the follow through is lacking for sure.

Have been wanting to try this place for eons. Came in for brunch on a holiday weekend. Loved it! The former "Plum" crew redesigned their dining experience and business model to (we thought) excellent results. Menu is (brunch anyway) more sandwich-oriented... we sat at the bar but saw that the dining room operates on an "order and delivery" model - you order at the guest stand and you get a number to put on your table for the servers to deliver to.We sat at the bar - cocktails were top notch, service attentive and friendly. Cool, hip vibe - can't wait to come back for dinner.PS smash burger was amazing! Recommend the "make it bacon" option - candied bacon was a very robust portion of pork belly cubes. Delicious! Beet salad with chicken top notch too.

Delicious food, great service! I'm a NCGS gluten free mostly vegetarian and I tried the double veg breakfast sandwich without a bun. I really enjoyed the flavor of the fried cauliflower with curry and another flavor I couldn't put my finger on. The photo isn't the best but I was very much satisfied.

Such a cute and warm vibe! I sat at the bar and enjoyed coffee with the most savory dish of chicken and waffles!

I got the Smash Burger ($15) with candied bacon ($5) and waffle fries ($5). The bacon was over priced and hardly had any flavor. It was cubed. I would not recommend getting the $5 bacon. Nor the smash burger. The waffle fries were good.

Chicken sandwich looked great in photos but was a touch too greasy for my liking. The ambiance of the place and the people working there are amazing though. Unique place for sure with a personality of its own. it's a really nice vibe inside.

Quality food, quiet atmosphere (on a Tuesday), and attentive service.At first, a friend and I weren't looking for a restaurant, maybe kombucha and tea next door, but the stomach is a force of it's own... so we ended up here. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and the server was polite and friendly.

I've been here twice and the food was delicious both times. The burnt ends with Brussel sprouts was a favorite for several in our group. I enjoyed the Foragers bowl on my second visit and truly enjoyed it. The diverse menu is wonderful and satisfies many palates.

I had the best smash burger I've ever had. Edges were perfectly crisp. Brussels Sprouts and burnt ends were a big hit. Ten people, 5 or 6 different orders. Everyone was happy with their meals. Order and pay at the counter. I liked this as I hate waiting around for a bill. Every worker I interacted with seemed engaged and happy to be there. My only suggestion is give every person a knife and fork as they order or when food is delivered. Servers were gracious about bringing utensils when asked, but asking should not have been necessary.
