Liquid Planet is my go-to "I need something to eat that's fresh and filling but I don't want to get the typically subshop sandwich'. My personal favorite is the Mexican Pita and the Egg and Veggie Pita. I usually get them with a side of their fresh hummus and carrots. The atmosphere is very chill and laid back. It's the perfect place to catch up with a friend or study in the afternoon. Best of all, it's in walking distance to Edgewater Park so you can work out and then grab a bite to eat.

I feel like it's so hard to find places that offer fresh and natural ingredients when you want to get something quick and on the go, and Liquid Planet makes me feel like I'm able to do it! If you are looking for a smoothie, they have 30+ options, and even dessert smoothies if you have a sweet tooth craving to fulfill. If you are looking for a normal meal, they have salads, pitas for days and awesome rice bowls. I love everything! You might wait 5 minutes or so for your order so still pretty quick, and a much better option than a sandwich/sub shop. Check it out!

My first and last visit here was probably 6 months ago, but I still remember how the little jackass teeny-boppers almost made me punch somebody in the face. They were douchey a-holes who are exclusively the reason I won't come to this particular LP even though it's a 5-minute walk from my house. Take note, ownership: there are unemployed quality people out there who have a better idea about customer service than your current staff.

Not sure why but Elvis chill smoothie too much oily peanut butter! Big glob in bottom. Also Key lime smoothie bland!!..Can't afford throw away my money! Got an idea it was the prep guy...no idea!!!

First time there and left a sour taste in my mouth. Customer service was horrible. I made the point to the lady that it was my first time. And all she did was point to a sign didn't care to walk me through add one or any thing. Ordered a classic. The guy just handed the smoothie to me and did say thank you or give any kind of farewell/come again. So I probably won't go again. Smoothie tastes good though.

I don't mean to be one of those negative reviewers but I have been getting chicken pitas here since I started dieting two years ago, so I can't speak for the smoothies or the other menu items. I noticed since they got a new manager the pitas aren't as good. It seems like there's less everything. Less chicken , less condiment and what ever else goes on the pita. It seems like they are trying to phase out my favorite side also, apples and peanut butter. The new side is water logged celery and peanut butter. They still have apples for you but it isn't on the list anymore. I enjoy the chicken pitas though but they just don't taste as good anymore.

I used to come here ALL the time when I lived in Edgewater. Loved this place! WAY better than any other health/juice/smoothie place I've come across. Unless you live in the area, it's not in a location that people would really go by... but if you ARE around Edgewater, definitely don't hesitate to try a fresh juice from here. Wish there was one near my new apartment :*(

Loved it! I wish we had one of these near my office. So many healthy options! I especially loved the long list of side options (never too many choices!) and the crazy flavor combos (cheese and peanut butter?) .

This place wins for convenience. Hours are great (opens early, closes late). They're fast. They've got a huge menu (probably too big, really). And a pretty great location on Clifton. I don't think their smoothies are anything to write home about. Generally, I wish they had a thicker texture. The Elvis-themed peanut butter and banana one is the best I've had so far. Although the "Classic" is supposedly their most popular, I found it very blah. Liquid Planet definitely markets itself as a "healthy" alternative, but I'm really wondering about the calorie count of the sandwich with three different kinds of cheese and peanut butter...do they think that's healthy because it's on pita bread and also has veggies? And I'm not quite getting the "healthy" pizza they serve. Because healthy pizza is actually an oxymoron. Pizza, by definition, is not healthy -- and if I'm going to spurge on a pizza, I'm gonna go for a regular pizza. Not one trying to be healthy. But my 4-star review hinges on just four words, four words that instantly make my mouth water: THAI. PEANUT. RICE. BOWL. Get it. At first, you may think it's nothing special. Just a bowl with rice, veggies, chicken, and a peanut sauce with a spicy kick, so what? But after you finish it, you'll crave it. You'll begin to worship it. Soon, it will own you. Also, something about the decor seems very late-90's. Maybe their logo looks like the Backstreet Boys logo or something? Oh, and do check out their bizarre wall art featuring people, of various ages, jumping and grinning. I think they're all on Adderall.

Go here! Liquid Planet is such a great alternative to fast food. I have been here multiple times and I have never been disappointed. My favorite pita/wrap is the Clevelander... the name should tell you it is amazing :) The rice bowls are also very good. They are the perfect amount for a light dinner. Since I love everything pumpkin, I tried the pumpkin pie smoothie last time I was in, and it was fantastic!! It tasted just like the real thing. The service at this location is always great. The food is ready in a timely fashion and everyone who works there is always super nice!! Next time you get the chance, go to Liquid Planet for a yummy treat!

This is definitely my favorite of the three Liquid Planets I've been to. It's pretty nice to not have to deal with the high-maintenance trips involving the Cedar road parking situation or the whole Crocker Park "experience." Parking is a breeze. It's the smallest of all of the locations and I like it that way. The smaller size gives it more of a neighborhood appeal. For the first time tonight, I tried the food. It was pretty good!I had the veg-out pita with provolone cheese. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the iceberg lettuce on it...but other than that, it was warm, toasty, and satisfying. I had the hummus and chips as my side (free with any meal). Also, I really like the staff here. Very friendly and patient! Definitely get the frequent-diner card, as mentioned in other reviews. I am already halfway to getting my five bucks off, and it was only my first time at the Clifton store!

I have been coming to this place since it has been born, I enjoy the theme of health conscious eating, wheat grass shots, boosters to your smoothies, etc... As of late, it seems to be taking a turn for the worse, customer care quality as well as food quality have drastically decreased. I remember the golden era of this establishment, I would usually see some sort of upper management around, even if only for a bit. I haven't seen that lately and it shows. Its like when my buddies neighbor and acquaintance from school worked at the now vacant lot where Manor Park Sunoco once stood, Mike H we will call him used to work. Everyone knew this was a hangout place to pick up free snacks and much more. One day we were having a party at a friends house, it was a natty-fest, we fill the tub with only natural light and ice, then drink it. Anyways, any good party has of course beer, it also has to have party snacks. Given the statute of limitations, I am free to say we took just about all of the inventory for a month that place had to offer and poor Mike never even made it to the party. Back to the matter at hand, this place is always staffed with young adults, who don't care about the well-being of the business, just a paycheck for some weekend entertainment. Im not one to stereotype, but for the most part this seems to be true in this situation and it shows in my purchases. I went in last night on my way to the house, starving, was not greeted warmly at all. Im not soft, so this was no biggie, on my way home I taste my smoothie which was supposed to be Orange Creamsicle and tasted like straight unripened orange. My bbq roast beef wrap was soaked in bbq sauce, it gave me an upset stomach after I ate it. Sad as it is to say, I may not return to this place ever again. Its not like they have cheap prices either, but I stayed a customer because the product was on point, not so anymore. I guess this is farewell LP. Deuces!

Whats not to like? Easy to find location. Somewhat healthy and relatively inexpensive food. We all know white folks love smoovies...they have smoovies. Its all stuff you could make at home but its good in a pinch. Mainly, I like coming to these "healthier" places (Tommys, Roebeks, etc.) is the weirdos I see in here. For people who care about what they put in their bodies they all seem socailly akward and completely miserable most of the time. Shit cracks me up. At least people drunk in a corner bar eating chicken fingers at noon, on a Tuesday, have a smile on their faces. Ill eat a hummus wrap here so I dont feel so damn self concious when I take 2 bottles of Ripple to the head and chase people around like Fred chased Lamont!

I'm always happy when I stop by for a delicious lunch at Liquid Planet. I typically get the rosemary turkey but when I need warmed up I'll get a chicken paprikash bowl. Yum! It's clean, quick and a convenient location although the parking lot can quickly become a trainwreck if there's a bad driver in the lot. I love all of their fresh fruits and veggies. Their smoothies are also delicious!

Nate M.
Smoothies, sandwiches, rice bowls, Oh My! Don't be fooled by the name, there's much more than liquids inside. Liquid planet is the pinnacle of fast food. Really nice staff. Great food, super fresh and fast. If you're looking for a great fast meal with some free wifi, this is the place to be. Those rice bowls pack a lot of punch. I thought a small smoothie and a thai peanut rice bowl would be a good idea. I have given up on finishing the bowl and I think I'm going to have to roll myself out of here.

Scott V.
Food is trying to be healthy but the microwave chicken kind of a turnoff. Staff friendly enough. Not much food for the price. Menu all over the place. Sometimes to many items are a bad thing. Smoothies -- it's no jumbo juice. Love Cali one. It's decent.

Justin K.
Pretty cool place, super extensive menu and really friendly service. I've had the Chicken Teriyaki bowl so far. It was delicious, fresh real chicken breast and fresh veggies cut and cooked individually and it doesn't seem to present any frozen veggies at all. I recommend going for sure and be sure to try the smoothies, my wife loves them and she's extremely picky when it comes to fruit and yogurt blended drinks.
(5)
Hallie G.
Good food, yes. Price is ridiculous, however. $7.50+ for a piece of pita wrapped around a little lunch meat and lettuce is outrageous. I asked for mayo on mine, (came with mustard, but I asked them to add "a little mayo" as well) and the "additional dressing" would have cost me an extra $0.75 if I didn't catch them before they put it on. I left there feeling very ripped off. :(

Rachel S.
The smoothies are usually pretty good, but nearly every time I go in, I get treated like dirt by the people working there. Some of those young ladies should either adjust their attitudes or find a different line of work where they don't have to interact with the public.

Pleasant, casual atmosphere with cleanly presented food, is what we got when we stopped here one late night looking for more than a shared Subway sandwich or downtown pub grub. We both had a hankering for a smoothie, so naturally, it was Yelp to the rescue. The first thing we noticed as we entered was this MASSIVE menu board the size of a medium sized bedroom wall. Once I had a quick skim though, it became clear that thankfully, the menu wasn't necessarily confusing. They may be generally categorised into: smoothies, pitas, salads, and rice bowls. Between the two of us, we had: Classic and Workout smoothies, Grilled Cheese pita with black beans and rice, and veggie and cheese breakfast pita. Total came to just over $20. Everything was tasty and we left completely stuffed. The only grievance is, they said they had to charge $0.75 extra for a few bits of onion. Other than that, we'd definitely go back for the good food.

Breakfast smoothie - Peanut Butter walnut with almond milk, it's a little extra but worth it for once in awhile. I bring my daughter here alot in the summertime for our Saturday smoothie. She likes the creamy classic. Rice bowls are ah-mazing! Get the rewards and they will send you $5 off your next order.

Watery and thin smoothies (Robek's is much better) PRE-MADE food and salads, not fresh like PANERA. I wish it was better because I live very close to the store on Clifton Blvd.

4 stars for healthiness. When we go out all we eat at are healthy restaurants. As far as health goes the wraps and salad options they have are the healthiest I have encountered in Ohio so far. We had a Livingsocial deal for here last week. Although the salad is not a 5 star salad (bagged lettuce) it was still good they are well priced.

Yummy wraps and rice bowls and smothies! This is one of my favorite local chains.. So tasty! I think it's just a hair pricier than it should be but I'm generally pleased with my meals here. Fairly healthy food, good portion sizes and a lot of good choices. Definitely vegetarian friendly and a good place for dinner. Never have to wait too long, either! I haven't tried their pizzas yet but they added those to the menu recently.. They sound great! Staff is also nice, too.

I decided to give Liquid Planet a second attempt, after my first experience was not so pleasant. As we entered the facility the manager of the franchise stood at the register rummaging through receipts, stared at us for a few seconds, then responded with a rude, "what do you want." I am somewhat of a picky eater, so ordering at a place of this sort is a little difficult. The first item I decided on got shut down due them being out of cream cheese. I asked the girl for a few opinions as to what to order because I haven't eaten here before. The girl responded with, "I like them all." And that's all I got. After becoming frustrated by the lack of help, I finally decided on a tuna salad wrap, without lettuce or tomato. Once my wrap was given to me, it had lettuce and tomato on it, in which I replied I asked for no lettuce or tomato. The employee replied with a snarky, "that's not what the order said." All in all, the service pretty much sucked and my 7 dollar tuna sandwich tasted like cardboard.

Riley M.
My buddy and I stopped here for a smoothie and were greeted with a friendly smile at the door. We ordered the green genie and the energy smoothie. I asked if they had anything other than soy, he said he was trying to get the big shots to offer an alternative. That's my only complaint. Although the soy milk is organic, i'd really love a nice almond milk. Listen to your employees!
(4)
Austin R.
This is an excellent place for lunch. They have a huge selection of relatively healthy menu items and everything that I have tried has been tasty. Some items seem a little overpriced, but everything always seems fresh. The staff are always friendly. My only recommendation is to get the sauce on the side if you get the rice bowl. The rice bowls are my favorite, but sometimes they can have too much sauce at the bottom.
(4)
Brody S.
Love the smoothies, but that new manager lady they have has got to go. She's so scatter brained and has no clue how to multitask. I feel bad for the people that have to work with her. I would not be able to handle it. She stresses me out watching her work. So much so that if she is behind the counter I will come back later when she isn't working.

D I.
Thai peanut rice bowl was full of flavor and a pretty good-sized portion. Good amount of chicken and really fresh veggies. I don't know why the smoothies are so expensive. The peach I ordered was good, but not worth $4. Also, there was a guy coming in and out of the place the entire time we were there. He went outside to talk on his phone, then walked up to the window near our table, leaned on the glass and looked right at us, then turned around again. Before that, he came in, sat right behind us for 5 minutes then went back outside. Good times

If you are looking for a healthy quick meal, this is the place to be. With very friendly workers and a clean environment. This place is also locally owned! When I think of healthy "fast food" it comes down to Subway or Liquid Planet. LP wins on a couple levels. 1. Locally owned. 2. Healthy drink options and wheat grass shots. 3. More food varieties and less filling pitas. 4. Friendlier staff.

Sometimes health food stores sell you these boost things that they put in your drinks that are supposed to perform some magic like give you energy, cure a hangover or wash away your sins. Maybe they do in fact accomplish those things, but I'm not buying them because they transform an otherwise delicious smoothie into shit. So as long as you avoid getting one of those boosts in your smoothie, you cant really go too wrong here. Keep in mind that the food is generally considered health food, so if you are accustomed to WacArnolds or McDowells type food, be aware that your food won't come soaked in grease or butter. For a while I was going pretty often to this location. I would walk there and order my food to go. Unfortunately I had to stop going for a while because I had a few conversations with one of the girls who worked there about video games while she made my food. When she mentioned something about it to me one night while I was there with my girlfriend, I ended up getting screamed at the whole way home. From that point on I had to go to LIquid Planet in secret to get one of their Black Bean & Rice Bowls.

Dax M.
Being a typical Guy I was pretty apprehensive about ordering a smoothie ...but I figured I'd be okay since I just moved to the neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere: clean, bright, and inviting. The presence of good looking girls who didn't look at me sideways as I order my smoothie helped as well. I've been there a few times now. The pitas are ok, the Smoothies are great. I haven't tried the rice bowls but at least every other person is ordering one. In any case I'm going to keep coming back, if not simply for the babes haha!

Brandon I.
Yep, I'm a fan. I come here often before performances, as sometimes solid food isn't the best before singing and dancing. My next smoothie is on the house, as I've filled up my bonus card! They have an extensive menu, all of which can be boosted by their various boosts...I like flaxseed...lubes up those old joints of mine. My favorite smoothie isn't on their menu...they have a bunch of under-the-counter smoothies that they can make...like the Banana Split. Add a flaxseed to this bad boy, and you're good to go. The store is remarkably clean, as are the bathrooms. It has a front porch which is kick-ass for sitting out and chilling...and it's open late! I've never had any of their food, and never will. I still can't understand why people would get food at a smoothie place...or a coffee place...but, to each their own. I can't give it five, but I assure anyone coming here that it's a quality joint...Robeks and Jamba Juice can eat it. Liquid Planet is the shiz.

I am a huge fan of their Saturn salad (smoky chicken salad on top of leafy greens and tasty vegetables), and just about every smoothie I've had off the menu. They're fast, fresh and when I feel like I just haven't been getting enough fruits and vegetables in my diet, Liquid Planet is my favorite go-to for lunch. It's light but filling.

Mary C.
Liquid planet should stay true to its name. The only thing they seem to have down is the smoothies. On the several different occasions I've tried to eat there, I've been remarkably underwhelmed and disappointed by the lack of flavor and quality of their dishes. The place has a great concept and wonderful smoothies but really needs to step it up in the meal department if they're truly looking to maintain their nutritious and delicious motif.

Lindsay C.
Love smoothies!! Friendly staff, parking, clean place. Would be five stars if you could order by the gallon-kinda like Starbucks has the to-go's that serve multiple people. Had four different kinds so far, and even though the "Hangover" was an odd brown color, they were all great. Support healthy eating!!!

I love this place! i could never get tired of it they have so many selections, their salad was fresh. I like how everything is there in the open and they prepare your meal in front of you.

Will K.
What negative could you have about liquid planet? The only one I can think of is too many decisions!

The two locations are great as well, either on Clifton where you can people watch or in Crocker Park. I

It's a place that have very nice and healthy smoothies and healthy food.And you will be very healthy too . Their smoothies doesn't add ice and sugar , they have lots of offer so you can change every time went you go there , the one I have and I don't remember it's very tasty too!! Hope they can open one in LA too , next time went I visit Cleveland I will come back for their smoothies again !! =)

Wonderful smoothies and food. We always make this a pit stop on our walks in the neighborhood and then also when we are at Crocker Park. The staff at both especially the one in Lakewood is great.

When I moved from Cleveland to California last year, I assumed I would have no problem finding a casual restaurant with food as flavorful and fresh as Liquid Planet, but I haven't found a place that compares. I loved the pita sandwiches (my favorite was the Greek) and the salads are unbelievable. Liquid Planet offers substantial yet healthy food, friendly and prompt service, and a multitude of smoothie options.

Seriously healthy food and smoothies! THE UP-SIDE: This place has so many types of healthy smoothies to offer that I can never decide which one want. Each one is filled with natural ingredients and damn good for you. In addition, their pita sandwiches are equally delicious! THE DOWN-SIDE: No real down side to this place! THE SUM-IT-UP: This place is the place to go when you need a quick, healthy, pick-me-up. Yum.

if i could, i'd eat every meal there. they have healthy and good food (i know, it sounds like an oxymoron, but here it's really not.) the smoothies are pretty much a meal in themselves, but don't avoid their actual food offerings too- the have some great peanut butter sandwiches. and the atmosphere is great- it's like the west coast visited clevo for a nanosecond and deposited liquid planet. a must for a clevelander who doesn't want to eat the staple meat and potatoes meal. i mean, they have chicken paprikash soup. how cool is that?

The food is ready in a timely fashion and everyone who works there is always super nice!! Next time you get the chance, go to Liquid Planet for a yummy treat!

This is definitely my favorite of the three Liquid Planets I've been to. It's pretty nice to not have to deal with the high-maintenance trips involving the Cedar road parking situation or the whole Crocker Park "experience." Parking is a breeze. It's the smallest of all of the locations and I like it that way. The smaller size gives it more of a neighborhood appeal. For the first time tonight, I tried the food. It was pretty good!I had the veg-out pita with provolone cheese. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the iceberg lettuce on it...but other than that, it was warm, toasty, and satisfying. I had the hummus and chips as my side (free with any meal). Also, I really like the staff here. Very friendly and patient! Definitely get the frequent-diner card, as mentioned in other reviews. I am already halfway to getting my five bucks off, and it was only my first time at the Clifton store!

I have been coming to this place since it has been born, I enjoy the theme of health conscious eating, wheat grass shots, boosters to your smoothies, etc... As of late, it seems to be taking a turn for the worse, customer care quality as well as food quality have drastically decreased. I remember the golden era of this establishment, I would usually see some sort of upper management around, even if only for a bit. I haven't seen that lately and it shows. Its like when my buddies neighbor and acquaintance from school worked at the now vacant lot where Manor Park Sunoco once stood, Mike H we will call him used to work. Everyone knew this was a hangout place to pick up free snacks and much more. One day we were having a party at a friends house, it was a natty-fest, we fill the tub with only natural light and ice, then drink it. Anyways, any good party has of course beer, it also has to have party snacks. Given the statute of limitations, I am free to say we took just about all of the inventory for a month that place had to offer and poor Mike never even made it to the party. Back to the matter at hand, this place is always staffed with young adults, who don't care about the well-being of the business, just a paycheck for some weekend entertainment. Im not one to stereotype, but for the most part this seems to be true in this situation and it shows in my purchases. I went in last night on my way to the house, starving, was not greeted warmly at all. Im not soft, so this was no biggie, on my way home I taste my smoothie which was supposed to be Orange Creamsicle and tasted like straight unripened orange. My bbq roast beef wrap was soaked in bbq sauce, it gave me an upset stomach after I ate it. Sad as it is to say, I may not return to this place ever again. Its not like they have cheap prices either, but I stayed a customer because the product was on point, not so anymore. I guess this is farewell LP. Deuces!

Whats not to like? Easy to find location. Somewhat healthy and relatively inexpensive food. We all know white folks love smoovies...they have smoovies. Its all stuff you could make at home but its good in a pinch. Mainly, I like coming to these "healthier" places (Tommys, Roebeks, etc.) is the weirdos I see in here. For people who care about what they put in their bodies they all seem socailly akward and completely miserable most of the time. Shit cracks me up. At least people drunk in a corner bar eating chicken fingers at noon, on a Tuesday, have a smile on their faces. Ill eat a hummus wrap here so I dont feel so damn self concious when I take 2 bottles of Ripple to the head and chase people around like Fred chased Lamont!

Great food, good options, friendly staff, quick service & affordable! I eat here at least 1x week!

I'm always happy when I stop by for a delicious lunch at Liquid Planet. I typically get the rosemary turkey but when I need warmed up I'll get a chicken paprikash bowl. Yum! It's clean, quick and a convenient location although the parking lot can quickly become a trainwreck if there's a bad driver in the lot. I love all of their fresh fruits and veggies. Their smoothies are also delicious!
(4)Nate M.
Smoothies, sandwiches, rice bowls, Oh My! Don't be fooled by the name, there's much more than liquids inside. Liquid planet is the pinnacle of fast food. Really nice staff. Great food, super fresh and fast. If you're looking for a great fast meal with some free wifi, this is the place to be. Those rice bowls pack a lot of punch. I thought a small smoothie and a thai peanut rice bowl would be a good idea. I have given up on finishing the bowl and I think I'm going to have to roll myself out of here.
(4)Scott V.
Food is trying to be healthy but the microwave chicken kind of a turnoff. Staff friendly enough. Not much food for the price. Menu all over the place. Sometimes to many items are a bad thing. Smoothies -- it's no jumbo juice. Love Cali one. It's decent.
(3)Justin K.
Pretty cool place, super extensive menu and really friendly service. I've had the Chicken Teriyaki bowl so far. It was delicious, fresh real chicken breast and fresh veggies cut and cooked individually and it doesn't seem to present any frozen veggies at all. I recommend going for sure and be sure to try the smoothies, my wife loves them and she's extremely picky when it comes to fruit and yogurt blended drinks.
(5)Hallie G.
Good food, yes. Price is ridiculous, however. $7.50+ for a piece of pita wrapped around a little lunch meat and lettuce is outrageous. I asked for mayo on mine, (came with mustard, but I asked them to add "a little mayo" as well) and the "additional dressing" would have cost me an extra $0.75 if I didn't catch them before they put it on. I left there feeling very ripped off. :(
(2)Rachel S.
The smoothies are usually pretty good, but nearly every time I go in, I get treated like dirt by the people working there. Some of those young ladies should either adjust their attitudes or find a different line of work where they don't have to interact with the public.

Pleasant, casual atmosphere with cleanly presented food, is what we got when we stopped here one late night looking for more than a shared Subway sandwich or downtown pub grub. We both had a hankering for a smoothie, so naturally, it was Yelp to the rescue. The first thing we noticed as we entered was this MASSIVE menu board the size of a medium sized bedroom wall. Once I had a quick skim though, it became clear that thankfully, the menu wasn't necessarily confusing. They may be generally categorised into: smoothies, pitas, salads, and rice bowls. Between the two of us, we had: Classic and Workout smoothies, Grilled Cheese pita with black beans and rice, and veggie and cheese breakfast pita. Total came to just over $20. Everything was tasty and we left completely stuffed. The only grievance is, they said they had to charge $0.75 extra for a few bits of onion. Other than that, we'd definitely go back for the good food.

Breakfast smoothie - Peanut Butter walnut with almond milk, it's a little extra but worth it for once in awhile. I bring my daughter here alot in the summertime for our Saturday smoothie. She likes the creamy classic. Rice bowls are ah-mazing! Get the rewards and they will send you $5 off your next order.
(5)Susie Q.
Watery and thin smoothies (Robek's is much better) PRE-MADE food and salads, not fresh like PANERA. I wish it was better because I live very close to the store on Clifton Blvd.
(2)Kenzie S.
4 stars for healthiness. When we go out all we eat at are healthy restaurants. As far as health goes the wraps and salad options they have are the healthiest I have encountered in Ohio so far. We had a Livingsocial deal for here last week. Although the salad is not a 5 star salad (bagged lettuce) it was still good they are well priced.
(4)Jamie B.
Always great food and genuine, good service. I've never had anything here that I didn't love. Everything is healthy and delicious!
(5)Lilly S.
Yummy wraps and rice bowls and smothies! This is one of my favorite local chains.. So tasty! I think it's just a hair pricier than it should be but I'm generally pleased with my meals here. Fairly healthy food, good portion sizes and a lot of good choices. Definitely vegetarian friendly and a good place for dinner. Never have to wait too long, either! I haven't tried their pizzas yet but they added those to the menu recently.. They sound great! Staff is also nice, too.
(4)Beki I.
I love this place...GREAT Smoothies, Wheat Grass Shots, Awesome Salads...All Healthy!! I suggest getting the order 'to go' and taking it to the beach!!
(5)Brooke G.
Good food, amazing smoothies. Food and drinks leave you feeling energized after eating, not like you need a nap like a lot of other places. Large menu. Awesome location - off Clifton Blvd with parking in the back. Ample seating inside.
(5)Jayme K.
I love coming in here and grabbing a smoothie in the morning! The options are ebdless and the staff is great!

I decided to give Liquid Planet a second attempt, after my first experience was not so pleasant. As we entered the facility the manager of the franchise stood at the register rummaging through receipts, stared at us for a few seconds, then responded with a rude, "what do you want." I am somewhat of a picky eater, so ordering at a place of this sort is a little difficult. The first item I decided on got shut down due them being out of cream cheese. I asked the girl for a few opinions as to what to order because I haven't eaten here before. The girl responded with, "I like them all." And that's all I got. After becoming frustrated by the lack of help, I finally decided on a tuna salad wrap, without lettuce or tomato. Once my wrap was given to me, it had lettuce and tomato on it, in which I replied I asked for no lettuce or tomato. The employee replied with a snarky, "that's not what the order said." All in all, the service pretty much sucked and my 7 dollar tuna sandwich tasted like cardboard.
(1)Riley M.
My buddy and I stopped here for a smoothie and were greeted with a friendly smile at the door. We ordered the green genie and the energy smoothie. I asked if they had anything other than soy, he said he was trying to get the big shots to offer an alternative. That's my only complaint. Although the soy milk is organic, i'd really love a nice almond milk. Listen to your employees!
(4)Austin R.
This is an excellent place for lunch. They have a huge selection of relatively healthy menu items and everything that I have tried has been tasty. Some items seem a little overpriced, but everything always seems fresh. The staff are always friendly. My only recommendation is to get the sauce on the side if you get the rice bowl. The rice bowls are my favorite, but sometimes they can have too much sauce at the bottom.
(4)Brody S.
Love the smoothies, but that new manager lady they have has got to go. She's so scatter brained and has no clue how to multitask. I feel bad for the people that have to work with her. I would not be able to handle it. She stresses me out watching her work. So much so that if she is behind the counter I will come back later when she isn't working.
(2)D I.
Thai peanut rice bowl was full of flavor and a pretty good-sized portion. Good amount of chicken and really fresh veggies. I don't know why the smoothies are so expensive. The peach I ordered was good, but not worth $4. Also, there was a guy coming in and out of the place the entire time we were there. He went outside to talk on his phone, then walked up to the window near our table, leaned on the glass and looked right at us, then turned around again. Before that, he came in, sat right behind us for 5 minutes then went back outside. Good times

If you are looking for a healthy quick meal, this is the place to be. With very friendly workers and a clean environment. This place is also locally owned! When I think of healthy "fast food" it comes down to Subway or Liquid Planet. LP wins on a couple levels. 1. Locally owned. 2. Healthy drink options and wheat grass shots. 3. More food varieties and less filling pitas. 4. Friendlier staff.
(5)Jurgen K.
Sometimes health food stores sell you these boost things that they put in your drinks that are supposed to perform some magic like give you energy, cure a hangover or wash away your sins. Maybe they do in fact accomplish those things, but I'm not buying them because they transform an otherwise delicious smoothie into shit. So as long as you avoid getting one of those boosts in your smoothie, you cant really go too wrong here. Keep in mind that the food is generally considered health food, so if you are accustomed to WacArnolds or McDowells type food, be aware that your food won't come soaked in grease or butter. For a while I was going pretty often to this location. I would walk there and order my food to go. Unfortunately I had to stop going for a while because I had a few conversations with one of the girls who worked there about video games while she made my food. When she mentioned something about it to me one night while I was there with my girlfriend, I ended up getting screamed at the whole way home. From that point on I had to go to LIquid Planet in secret to get one of their Black Bean & Rice Bowls.
(4)Dax M.
Being a typical Guy I was pretty apprehensive about ordering a smoothie ...but I figured I'd be okay since I just moved to the neighborhood. I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere: clean, bright, and inviting. The presence of good looking girls who didn't look at me sideways as I order my smoothie helped as well. I've been there a few times now. The pitas are ok, the Smoothies are great. I haven't tried the rice bowls but at least every other person is ordering one. In any case I'm going to keep coming back, if not simply for the babes haha!
(4)Brandon I.
Yep, I'm a fan. I come here often before performances, as sometimes solid food isn't the best before singing and dancing. My next smoothie is on the house, as I've filled up my bonus card! They have an extensive menu, all of which can be boosted by their various boosts...I like flaxseed...lubes up those old joints of mine. My favorite smoothie isn't on their menu...they have a bunch of under-the-counter smoothies that they can make...like the Banana Split. Add a flaxseed to this bad boy, and you're good to go. The store is remarkably clean, as are the bathrooms. It has a front porch which is kick-ass for sitting out and chilling...and it's open late! I've never had any of their food, and never will. I still can't understand why people would get food at a smoothie place...or a coffee place...but, to each their own. I can't give it five, but I assure anyone coming here that it's a quality joint...Robeks and Jamba Juice can eat it. Liquid Planet is the shiz.
(4)Shannon O.
I am a huge fan of their Saturn salad (smoky chicken salad on top of leafy greens and tasty vegetables), and just about every smoothie I've had off the menu. They're fast, fresh and when I feel like I just haven't been getting enough fruits and vegetables in my diet, Liquid Planet is my favorite go-to for lunch. It's light but filling.
(4)Mary C.
Liquid planet should stay true to its name. The only thing they seem to have down is the smoothies. On the several different occasions I've tried to eat there, I've been remarkably underwhelmed and disappointed by the lack of flavor and quality of their dishes. The place has a great concept and wonderful smoothies but really needs to step it up in the meal department if they're truly looking to maintain their nutritious and delicious motif.
(2)Lindsay C.
Love smoothies!! Friendly staff, parking, clean place. Would be five stars if you could order by the gallon-kinda like Starbucks has the to-go's that serve multiple people. Had four different kinds so far, and even though the "Hangover" was an odd brown color, they were all great. Support healthy eating!!!
(4)Oana K.
I love this place! i could never get tired of it they have so many selections, their salad was fresh. I like how everything is there in the open and they prepare your meal in front of you. VERY CLEAN. in my opinion. I haven't been disappointed yet. The Berry smoothie is great! oh and the best part is they're open late so perfect for my schedule!
(4)Will K.
What negative could you have about liquid planet? The only one I can think of is too many decisions! I've only ever had smoothies, never tried any of the food items they serve, because in honesty the smoothie is a meal all on it's own. The two locations are great as well, either on Clifton where you can people watch or in Crocker Park. I
(5)Robert T.
Very cool place. Had a really good wrap and smoothie and was filled up for 10 bucks. Fresh, healthy, and had tons of flavor. Will be returning.
(4)David W.
I had my partner get me pineapple smoothies there on several occasions when I was sick a couple of months ago. They were awesome. I would recommend giving them a try.
(4)P W.
The pitas are great. There are probably 30 smoothie flavors available at a decent price. The best one is called Elvis something. It is skim or soy milk, fat free yogurt, honey, peanut butter and bananas. The staff is always friendly and able to recommend a good dinner decision.
(5)Can M.
It's a place that have very nice and healthy smoothies and healthy food.And you will be very healthy too . Their smoothies doesn't add ice and sugar , they have lots of offer so you can change every time went you go there , the one I have and I don't remember it's very tasty too!! Hope they can open one in LA too , next time went I visit Cleveland I will come back for their smoothies again !! =)
(5)Nicole B.
Wonderful smoothies and food. We always make this a pit stop on our walks in the neighborhood and then also when we are at Crocker Park. The staff at both especially the one in Lakewood is great. Definitely need to check this out. It's healthy and very very tasty, there is not a bad thing i could say about this place.
(5)Tony D.
Mocha is all you need in life!
(5)Stephen W.
This place has a really cool atmosphere, but the food just plain isn't good! Good prices but a I think a lot of the food is just bland!
(1)E T.
When I moved from Cleveland to California last year, I assumed I would have no problem finding a casual restaurant with food as flavorful and fresh as Liquid Planet, but I haven't found a place that compares. I loved the pita sandwiches (my favorite was the Greek) and the salads are unbelievable. Liquid Planet offers substantial yet healthy food, friendly and prompt service, and a multitude of smoothie options.
(5)Quinton F.
Fast food - the way nature intended! Make sure you grab a preferred customer card, and call ahead for large orders. The parking is in the back.
(5)Jim P.
Seriously healthy food and smoothies! THE UP-SIDE: This place has so many types of healthy smoothies to offer that I can never decide which one want. Each one is filled with natural ingredients and damn good for you. In addition, their pita sandwiches are equally delicious! THE DOWN-SIDE: No real down side to this place! THE SUM-IT-UP: This place is the place to go when you need a quick, healthy, pick-me-up. Yum.
(5)Kimberly K.
if i could, i'd eat every meal there. they have healthy and good food (i know, it sounds like an oxymoron, but here it's really not.) the smoothies are pretty much a meal in themselves, but don't avoid their actual food offerings too- the have some great peanut butter sandwiches. and the atmosphere is great- it's like the west coast visited clevo for a nanosecond and deposited liquid planet. a must for a clevelander who doesn't want to eat the staple meat and potatoes meal. i mean, they have chicken paprikash soup. how cool is that?
