Johnny Mango Juice Bar & World Cafe

I just love this restaurant! It’s such a fun, happy place housed in a historic Ohio City building. Inside, the sunny windows even further enhance the tropical colors and panes of tinted glass etched with lizards that are seen on the walls. From the puffy clouds painted on the blue tin ceiling are hanging big, cooling fans. The whole mood is made even more upbeat by the cheerful, relaxed wait staff.

Even the menu makes a person smile. From the juice bar one can order such delights as a Pelican Kiss (apple/ cranberry/ginger), a Melon Sparkler, or a Mango-Lime Spritzer. Also available are a selection of frozen yogurt/soymilk shakes such as the Tingle, an apple, banana, strawberry, cocoa and soymilk combination. Also on the menu are many meatless selections, burritos and quesadillas, and if you want to add some zing to your meal, an assortment of margaritas, international quenchers, cervezas and bottled tequilas. But my favorite menu section is its "Big Plates of Rumba and Salsa." Available after 5pm, these dishes are served with the grain, "happy beans" and vegetable of the day as well as "bread and slather" (meaning various fresh baked breads with a spread of tapanade, hummus or compote). These dishes are sure to titillate the senses and satisfy the most hefty appetite.

Most of Johnny Mango’s concoctions are crafted using organically grown produce from Cleveland’s
West Side Market, so you can relax and dine with confidence in its smoke-free environment.

Hours:
Monday–Thursday, 11am–10pm
Friday, 11-11
Saturday, 9-11
Sunday and holidays, 9-10

On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 9-2 a brunch is served, including waffles and omelets as well as world food.

Johnny Mango Juice Bar & World Cafe

Every city in the country has that one completely unique and authentic restaurant that is the local secret. The restaurant is usually impossible to find, but once you do, you will wonder why you waited so long. Johnny Mango "World Café and Bar" is that place in Cleveland.

Located on the west side of the Cleveland, right in the middle of Ohio City, near the West Side Market, on what seems like a back road residential street, this gem of an establishment offers an array or drinking and dining delights. They take the title World Café to heart when creating their menu choices. Johnny Mango serves a wide variety of foods, from Mexican and Caribbean to Thai and Southwestern. Whatever you order, be prepared to eat, because the portions are healthy. And since we are in Cleveland, known for big eaters, I mean really healthy. You will not leave hungry! On top of that, the prices are fairly cheap. You can get a meal for less than $10.

Some of the highlights of the menu include:
• Burritos as large as the plate
• Happy Beans
• Pad Thai
• Homemade salsa and guacamole
• Caribbean Fries
• Grilled bananas for dessert
• Margaritas by the pitcher

They also do an outstanding job of catering to vegetarians, as almost every plate can be changed. When you walk in, make sure you take a look at the chalkboard behind the bar to find the specials. Other highlights of Johnny Mango include delightful bartenders and waiters/waitresses, an outdoor patio for people watching, great ambiance and Spanish decor inside, and, most importantly, NO SMOKING!

If you are in town and want to experience Cleveland with the locals, come join us at this great little restaurant.
