    BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH EVER!!!! YOU NEED TO COME HERE ASAP!! If you live within 5 hours, it's worth the drive. I got the Betty and added tomato jam and caramelized onion. The egg patty is huge and so fluffy, the bacon is thick cut and very juicy. It has the classic American cheese with their house made sunshine sauce. All jammed between a homemade brioche bun. I literally will have dreams about this place and will for sure be returning! Also the marketing couldn't be cuter with the box that it comes in and the wrapping. I also got the cold brew latte which is seasonal, the flavor today was Horchata!:) also the workers were the BEST! So accommodating and they had great recommendations, you really can’t go wrong with anything here. The cinnamon rolls looked incredible too but the sandwich is so big I couldn’t finish a cinnamon roll too!

    We came after visiting the Good Company pop up after a good experience! We got the corn meal fries, the Doris and the Shirley. Everything was absolutely amazing 😍 We waited in a short line and had our food & through the line in about 20 minutes. I went back to get the horchata latte with the guardian cold brew & it ended up being my favorite thing. All employees were so helpful & friendly and the vibes were so good. will definitely be back!!

    Fabulous food! Sandwiches are HUGE! Go early if you want the Fly by special (limited quantities). We had the Doris and the apple butter crispy (so, so, so very delicious!). Very friendly staff. Limited seating, so be prepared to take away. Can't wait to go back!

    So excited to finally try this new spot in Tremont! The breakfast sandwiches were amazing - and HUGE! I would definitely get one to split between 2 people next time. Delicious coffee too.

    Brilliant version of a little breakfast spot. So good you could see it opening everywhere if it makes sense on the restauranteur side of the business. Home made, quick, delicious, delivered in an efficient manner. Great staff on top of that. Literally a prototype for small kitchens.

    Fantastic food, service and atmosphere! The staff was so sweet and the food was unique and oh so tasty! I’m not sure what is in the “sunshine sauce” but it’s heavenly. Highly recommend and will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

    my husband and I love breakfast sandwiches, so after reading the reviews we knew we had to go and try for ourselves! I got the Betty and my husband got the Doris — both so so yummy! the cornmeal fries were fine, I wasn’t the biggest fan. but overall, everything was delicious!

    The best breakfast sandwiches in Cleveland. We go every few weeks on the weekends for takeout and then hop over to Edgewater Beach. Really like the rotating menu of pie options and the fly-bys. Classic favs are the Betty and Shirley.

    Chose this place randomly because it was only a 6min walk from our airbnb, and we were very happy we picked this place. The food was fantastic, and the staff was very friendly. The cinnamon roll was phenomenal. If I lived in this city I'd come here all the time. I also really appreciated the design of all of their packaging as well (with what seemed like all of it being eco friendly). They also sell my friends hot sauce which was random but awesome to see!

    Got the Doris sandwich with cornmeal fries and it was the best thing I ate in Cleveland. Top 3 breakfast sandwiches of all time, and I don’t think it’s #3. Really kind service as well. As I’m writing this review I wish I could eat there again!

    Definitely a worthwhile visit! This place is fantastic. It’s tiny and orders can be placed online then picked up. There are four stools inside to wait and eat if you’d like. The food is delicious. I went with the Betty which was a traditional breakfast sandwich with bacon. They offer sunshine sauce on their sammies and although I never really determined what that was, I enjoyed it.

    These sandwiches are great. They are very filling. Their fly-by’s are pretty interesting and delicious but if you’re not in the mood for those, their regular sandwiches are great. The duck sausage fly-by was the best sandwich I’ve ever had here. I hope they bring it back again.

    Go here. Sit at the bar and order every mf thing on the menu! I want to die and be buried inside their breakfast sammie for eternity. Also, everything is compostable. . Heaven really is a place on earth and it is at Martha on the Fly.

    I cannot overstate how fantastic Martha on the Fly is. I got a Doris (sausage smash patty, egg, and cheese) with caramelized onions and pickles, and it was mind-blowingly good - the kind of sandwich you will remember and compare all future breakfast sandwiches to, although none of them will ever live up to the expectation. It was so good I decided to get a Shirley (thick cut bologna, egg, and cheese) to go for tomorrow. The cold brew coffee was smooth and not overly bitter. Service was fast (I ordered online ahead of time to avoid any chance of a wait) and friendly. Inside was tiny, no more than 8 or 10 counter stools, but it was bright, energetic, and clean. Price was a little higher than your average corner store breakfast sandwich, but the quality is more than worth it. I will gladly be back (and soon)!

    Best breakfast Sammie I’ve had in a while. It’s huge! Very cool on the inside. The chef makes them all himself. Highly recommend

    Traveled from Columbus to check out this spot. Super cute spot in a cool neighborhood. Loved sitting on the tables outside to enjoy breakfast. By far THE BEST breakfast sandwich we’ve ever had. I had The Shirley. This is not the Oscar Meyer bologna I remember from childhood. The tomato jam paired with the caramelized onions goes so well with the all-beef baloney and egg patty. Horchatas were awesome, not too sweet. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    Echoing other reviews, this truly was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. It is very clear that Martha’s uses high quality ingredients and they have an incredible product as a result. The bun was light and so flavorful and the egg patty and thick cut bacon complimented each other so well. I could go on and on. There are only four seats inside and some tables outside, so you may have to take it to go. It’s worth it either way. I can’t wait to return!

    Mouth watering breakfast sandwiches with one of a kind cornmeal fries. They have drip, cold brew, and lattes too. Great for pick up, but limited dine in options. Would be convenient for two people stopping in for a quick bite, but won't be able to accommodate a larger group.

    Such wonderful food! The breakfast sandwiches are second to none- generous portions and flavorful combinations! And don't pass up the cornmeal fires or one of their pies on rotation! This is definitely my new staple for breakfasts/brunches. I'd definitely recommend ordering online ahead for pickup- just to not risk them running out of stuff when you wait in line.

    This place came recommended from several locals so I had to try it and it was quite a charm. Breakfast sandwiches are a must here, and probably the best I’ve had, these guys make everything from scratch. I tried the Doris and the cornmeal fries. Thanks for the great service, Ryan!

    Small sandwich shop with a friendly atmosphere. The staff is great and food is exceptional. Coffee options and cool merch. Easy to get to/park and you can order ahead for a quick pick up. Love this place!

    FINALLY got into this place and I absolutely loved it! I wish I could have tried everything on the menu but I was flying solo. I narrowed it down to the Pearl - a vegetarian breakfast sandwich with a mushroom "sausage" patty. The patty was very flavorful and so was the sunshine sauce. The egg patty was different, kind of spongy. Good but I might go with the fried egg next time. The bun was super fresh. It was a huge sandwich, which is good because it was kind of pricey. I also got the cornmeal fries - super fresh, original and amazing. It was way too much food but I was so happy to take it on. I can't wait to make my way back to try a crispy and their horchata cold brew. Besides the food, some added bonuses were the easy online order ahead option and the friendly staff who are passionate about their product and the neighborhood. FYI - this is more of a grab and go place. There's not really much in the way of seating. No restrooms either. It is really close to the towpath though - there's some nice benches and tables close by.

    I stopped by for breakfast and was very pleasantly surprised. Best breakfast in Cleveland at this tiny cafe. Bacon sandwich had really good apple bacon that was very flavorful and the fluffiest egg. I really enjoyed the food. Service and prep was very fast. The only downsides are hardly any indoor seating and small batch cooking (donuts were sold out).

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 5 months ago on Google
    Martha's was amazing, easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I got the bacon and my father got the sausage and I've never been more jealous of another person after trying some of the sausage patty. Highly recommend great for the price and they know what they are and execute it amazingly.

    Came to Martha and now I’m about to experience The Pearl. Come to Martha on The Fly and get the Cold Brew Iced Latte, it’s to die for! The staff here are legendary dudes and they create the best vibes.

    What a seriously pleasant experience. We pulled up not knowing what to expect. Just hungry and curious. They really are “on the fly!” Big emphasis on grab and go (would suggest ordering online and then going to pick up) But we were lucky enough to snag two of their four bar stools and sit down to eat. Such a friendly greeting right away. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and retro! Pumped to see The Magic School Bus playing on their old school TV. It made me want to put my phone away and just soak up the cute present moment. I loved that you can kind of see the process of your food being made. Everything was so clean! Delicious Horchata Iced coffee, not overly sweet, done just right. When I first saw their online menu I thought all the sandwiches had a big block of cheese on them, but it’s their signature Egg Patty!! Don’t be alarmed. It is unique and tasty. We loved our breakfast sandwiches. You will not be disappointed checking this place out. We already can’t wait to come back.
