Beet Jar Opens East Side Outpost at Van Aken Market Hall

Last year, after a successful decade in the Hingetown neighborhood of Ohio City, Beet Jar owners Joseph Joseph and Molly Pamela McKay relocated the business to a larger space in Ohio City, specifically at the Quarter, located at 2600 Detroit Ave. at the intersection of W. 25th and Detroit.

Next up was an east-side satellite location within the Market Hall at Van Aken District in Shaker Heights, which recently opened. The stand offers the same great vegan pastries, sandwiches, wraps, smoothies and bowls. A display cooler stocks grab-and-go cold-pressed juices from Beet Jar HQ.

This is the place to grab the famous Bravacado ($14), which packs ripe avocado, coconut bacon, red onion, greens and creamy cashew mayo into a wrap or sandwich. Beet Jar’s breakfast wrap ($14) is a tidy bundle of Just Egg, avocado, coconut bacon, greens, cashew mayo and hot sauce.

Wash it all down with a Mr. Presley smoothie ($12), a creamy blend of strawberry, banana, peanut butter, maca, cacao, date and coconut mylk. It’s capped with a sprinkle of granola. Smoothie bowls, built on a base of acai berries or fresh fruit, are topped with granola, peanut butter, coconut goji, cashew drizzle and other options.

Beet Jar Van Aken is open Thursdays through Mondays.
