    It's cool, there a lot of ultra wealthy guys coming off the country club golf course next door. If that speaks to you. Otherwise there are a lot of good spots to eat for sure. It's like an outdoor food mall.

  • Mike Roberts★★★★★3 months ago

    The Van Aken District truly feels like my home away from home. It’s one of those places where I can start the day with a great cup of coffee, knock out a few meetings with clients, and then come back later to enjoy dinner with my family. Everything is just so well done—the energy, the mix of spots, and the overall vibe. And of course, no visit is complete without stopping by Mitchell’s Ice Cream for a treat. Whether it’s work, family time, or just getting out of the house for a bit, everything about the Van Aken District is awesome.

    This review is only for The Market because I haven't been around the entire District. This District is new and things are still opening up. The Market has a garage that connects but the doors don't automatically open so if you're in a wheelchair or have a stroller be prepared to figure it out. Inside is lots of space, a play area, plenty of seating and the shops & restaurants. The restaurant sizes remind me of a food truck sized place. I went after 7 and the bummer was most of the shops (coffee/soap/spices, etc) were closed and another restaurant was out of a couple of the popular choices. So if you plan to go, go earlier or on the weekend. I think this could be a nice meeting location vs having to go to Panera or Starbucks. There is also a brewery (or something similar-I didn't go in) that allows you to bring your own food and enjoy their beverages. I'm looking forward to trying out the natural soaps and the spices shops because they both smelled enticing from the outside.

    Love the food hall at VAD. Nice mix of options with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The ability to take your beer or wine outside is a huge plus. A Mitchell's ice cream nearby means you can follow a delicious meal and drink with dessert if you're feeling gluttonous. There are also weekend activities like a Maker Fair and other rotating vendors as well. The surrounding shops are nice though pricey.

  • Kevin Kilroy★★★★★5 months ago

    I would have rated VAD five stars and not four, but unfortunately in 2025 the district made the misguided decision to close the market hall’s indoor stage and seating area in order to expand the adjoining retail space. This change deprived the community of an invaluable “third space” that served as an open but contained play area in which children could frolic and blow off steam during the long winter months in NE Ohio. I used to go to VAD with my young kids nearly every weekend to consume good food and drink while the kids played nearby safely. I find I have visited VAD far less since the decision was made to eliminate this simple but important public area in favor of expanding a basic and decidedly NOT kid friendly retail space.
