This is the one I kept reordering to my Tremont apartment. Over 50 vegan meals rotating weekly, all chef-crafted, all actually interesting. The Wild Mushroom Bibimbap and Mission-Style Veggie Burrito are better than most Cleveland restaurant versions, and I'm including the good spots in that comparison. You can filter for vegan plus gluten-free or soy-free or high-protein, which matters when you're trying to hit macros. Coverage reaches Lakewood, Ohio City, Cleveland Heights, even out past Parma. At $10.99-$13/meal it's more expensive than Dinnerly but the quality gap is massive. If you're vegan in Cleveland and tired of cooking the same three Buddha bowls, this is it.

At $5-$7/serving, Dinnerly is cheaper than buying groceries at Dave's or Giant Eagle if you're only cooking for one or two people. The tradeoff is limited vegan variety. You get 4-6 vegetarian options weekly, mostly simple pasta or rice bowls, and you have to actually cook them (25-35 minutes). I tested this for two weeks in Ohio City and honestly, it works if your priority is saving money over having exciting food. The recipes are basic but functional. Better than ramen, cheaper than ordering from Cleveland Vegan three times a week. Just don't expect the ingredient quality or creativity you'd get from CookUnity.

Blue Apron's Wellness plan surprised me. 8-12 vegetarian options weekly, some vegan-adaptable if you skip the cheese or swap the sauce. At $8-$11/serving it sits between Dinnerly's budget tier and CookUnity's premium pricing. I ordered to Cleveland Heights for three weeks and the plant-forward meals were genuinely good, better than I expected from a mainstream kit service. The recipes assume you like cooking, which some vegans in Cleveland do. If you're the type who meal preps on Sundays and actually enjoys the process, Blue Apron works. If you want zero-effort ready-to-eat, this isn't it.

Home Chef offers 6-10 vegetarian meals weekly but most include dairy or eggs. If you're a strict vegan, you're modifying recipes or skipping half the options. I tested this in Lakewood and kept running into the same issue: looks vegetarian, has parmesan or butter or cream sauce. They let you swap proteins on some meals for an upcharge, but swapping chicken for tofu doesn't make a cream-based dish vegan. Coverage is solid across Cleveland thanks to Kroger's delivery network, and the price is reasonable at $9-$12/serving. But if you're actually vegan and not just flexitarian, CookUnity or Blue Apron give you more usable options per week.

Factor's whole pitch is convenience. Two minutes in the microwave, zero cooking. For omnivores in Cleveland, it's the best option. For vegans, it's frustrating. You get 4-6 vegan meals weekly compared to 100+ meat-based options. I ordered to Ohio City for two weeks and kept seeing the same Spiced Chickpea Chaat and Miso Edamame Tofu rotating. The food is fine, genuinely tastes good for ready-made, but the variety isn't there. If you're vegan and want the microwave convenience, you'll get bored by week three. CookUnity gives you 50+ plant-based meals at basically the same price point. Factor's vegan selection feels like an afterthought.

Sunbasket markets itself as the organic, healthy, Mediterranean-diet option. Great for vegetarians who eat dairy and eggs. Terrible for vegans. You get 1-2 purely vegan meals per week. That's it. I tested this in Cleveland Heights and ran out of vegan options by Wednesday. The quality is good, ingredients are organic, but if you're vegan you're paying $11-$13/serving for a service that gives you almost nothing to choose from. Unless you're willing to eat the same two vegan meals on repeat or modify vegetarian recipes yourself, skip Sunbasket and go with CookUnity or Blue Apron instead.

100% vegan restaurant, bakery, and cafe offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies, specialty lattes, and grab-and-go meals. Menu includes chicken fried steak dish, gyros, BBQ wings, Reuben sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, banana pancakes, and gluten-free dessert bars including lemon bars. Partners with local Ohio growers and suppliers within 30 miles to source fresh ingredients.

This is the Cleveland vegan spot. Been here since 2012, opened the Lakewood storefront in 2014, and they actually deliver within 30 miles of downtown. The chicken fried steak dish and BBQ wings are what I keep reordering. They source from local Ohio farms and roasters, which matters if you care about keeping money in the regional food system. At $7-$14/entrée it's cheaper than CookUnity and you're supporting a local business that's been serving Cleveland's vegan community for over a decade. Pickup is faster if you're in Lakewood, but delivery works if you're in Ohio City or the Heights.

$7-$14 per entrée/bowl | Serves: Delivers within 30 miles of Downtown Cleveland, cafe pickup in Lakewood (17112 Detroit Ave)

Fully vegetarian kitchen and organic scratch bakery since 2009. Health-conscious, filling meals made with seasonal heirloom veggies. Menu includes tempeh Reuben, faux tuna salad sandwiches, breakfast burritos. Coffee from local Duck Rabbit Coffee.

Lakewood staple that's been setting the bar for quick vegetarian food on the West Side since 2009. The tempeh Reuben is the move if you're picking up lunch. Organic scratch bakery, seasonal heirloom veggies, coffee from Duck Rabbit (local roaster). At $10-$14/meal it's competitively priced with delivery services but you're picking up, not getting it delivered. If you live or work in Lakewood and want to support a local vegetarian business that's been here longer than the meal delivery trend, this is it.

$10-$14 per meal | Serves: Lakewood (15118 Detroit Ave), primarily pickup/dine-in
