RESTAURANT REVIEW: Sweet Moses serves treats with a side order of 1930s nostalgia

SWEET MOSES

6800 Detroit Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio
Rating: 4 Paws
Price: $$

Step into the newly opened Sweet Moses at 6800 Detroit Avenue and you will quickly realize that this is not just another collection of vintage looking chairs and a couple of soda fountains falsely claiming to be an authentic throwback to the classic treat shop; this is the real deal. The soda fountain enthusiasts behind the new shop have endlessly toiled at translating a 1920’s and 30’s feel into the modern day to deliver a genuine treat shop experience.

For owner Jeff Moreau, Sweet Moses represents the pinnacle of his vintage soda fountain fandom. Moreau has spent years gathering furnishings to obtain an authentic feel for his shop. He has made numerous visits to towns between Pittsburgh and Chicago, buying chairs, tables, booths, counters, display cases and even a 100 year old artifact bar, all of which were once used in previous soda fountains. Mr. Moreau wanted to make his shop feel authentic and not \”like a soda fountain at Disney World,”
