Cafes near New Albany

“I wish I lived closer. This place is amazing. I had the most delicious iced Mocha ever. And the Morning bun with chocolate is amazing. I also got a yogurt with granola and it was wonderful. This is a must visit. Especially if you love coffee and pastries.“

“I literally come to this Panera almost every day with my pup for our morning caffeine & prior to today I didn’t even know pup cups were an option here! 10/10 customer experience, thank you so much to the employee who offered this!?Knox is obsessed with his morning treat!?“

“Such a wonderful place, great family feel. The breakfast was amazing. This will be our go to place when we visit again.“

“I don't understand why the dj gives up after the caberaet show. It's like they're trying to drive out the crowd so they can pack up early and still get paid a full night. I'm going to assume complacency from being the resident without competition for to many years. Both friday and Saturdays dj's are guilty of this. Ivan (RDJr), I'm told you read comments, pay attention. Your bartenders and VIP hostesses are suffering because of this. Everything else is absolutely amazing. Hate to see Michelle go. Best spot in Columbus period overall. Fix this and get a full nights revenue from that liquor license I'm sure isn't cheap.“

“Went to the Blu Note for the first time for my birthday in August. One of the waitresses was being trained by another waitress so we had two waitresses waiting on us (: and they did a great job!!! The live music was lively and the food was excellent , lamb chops were off the chain and the chicken wings were seasoned just right! They gave me complimentary New York Style Cheese Cake for my birthday as well ! In my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression “I’ll be back”.“

“Great Food and excellent coffee choices. Wonderful atmosphere to enjoy just that! Highly recommended!!“

“Love this place! Bruschetta is the best, great beers on tap! And dogs welcome on the patio!!Parking: More spots around back and a little bit down the street is public lot.Kid-friendliness: Not sureWheelchair accessibility: Might be bumpy but could get there. However, restrooms are downstairs.“

“The food was delicious and creative.“

“We've stopped here multiple times and always have delicious coffee. They have regular coffee and unique flavors like cardamon rose. You can order them iced, warm or frozen. Definitely worth a stop to grab a drink while you shop down Main Street“

“Wish I would've taken pictures of the food. I will next time. I've been there 4 or 5 times now, and it has been great every time. The quality of the food is outstanding, the staff is friendly, and they serve alcohol. Great atmosphere and an overall great experience every time.“

“My husband enjoyed his sausage and peppers pizza. You can see them making it fresh for you. The chicken avocado sandwich is so good. Chicken was seasoned well and everything came together on the bun. It is pricey but I think it is worth it based on the quality of the ingredients. They also sell alcoholic beverages which is a plus!Kid-friendliness: There are many choices for your child such as pizza, grilled cheese, cheese burger..“

“If I could give the food six stars, I would. I am often disappointed when eating out. I ordered eggs benedict and the bread was perfectly toasty textured and the hollandaise was delightful. Someone in that kitchen understands and cares about what they create.“

“Enjoyed the food, the friendly atmosphere & service!“

“I like their coffee and the employees are usually very nice. Just wish they were a little more flexible when it comes to their drinks they will not make blended drinks with dairy free options. And if you ask for like extra crumbles in your drink stirred in.. they will tell you no. They are blended drinks they can't.. which doesn't exactly make sense since you just have to stir them in after you're done blending it. However, coffee is always good!“

“We've been here several times. Each time, our meal has been terrific! My wife says it best! "It's like eating lunch at grandma's house, but not having to do the dishes afterwards." This is a quaint B&B that serves food as well. The lunch selections range from a burger, to grilled cheeses, to house made chicken and tuna salad. Each sandwich is served with a side. Macaroni salad, cole slaw, fries, fried apples to name a few. I've had everything but the burger, and they are all delicious! Homemade, but better! Today, I had the tuna salad on sour dough, with the macaroni salad. The tuna was made with onion, egg, celery seed, that was creamy and flavorful without being overpowering. The macaroni salad was a nice balance of mayo, mustard, onion and was sweet.“

“I've lived here almost ten years and this has been on my list for a while. Finally just tried. I did take out but kind of wish I dined in. Friendly people and pho just seems like something you should eat right out of the kitchen. We had the pho with rare beef and meatballs, the egg roll, and fried wontons. Would definitely try again and recommend to others!“

“. Will start out with disclosing: I know the owners for years due to our sons rowing in regattas together and really like them, so my review might be unintentionally biased. However, I will try my hardest to not be biased. Kitties is located across the street from the library. Ironically, it shares building frontage with a bookstore. when the bookstore is open, there is an interior door between the two businesses that rolls open allowing customers to explore both business spaces. Its pretty special! It really works aestetically. They use "one line" coffee here (the name of roasting company) and thats local- so Yay! The machine they used to do the coffee here is considered one of the industry's best, so your coffee beans will have the right pull giving it great flavor and consistancy --its amazing at pulling the right amount for a balanced cup of coffee. They have some in-house syrups, which I have found really good. Plus, they try to have creative specials so always ask whats new! I got a spicy honey latte made with oat milk. Quite enjoyable. What I like about this location vs their 2 other kitties locations is its dining areas. It has a unique curved bench with tables. Its just fun. It also has a covered side patio that has been cold weather-ized. So there is plenty of spots to hang out here. Kitties also make cakes... I have never had one but you can order those. I have had their tiny cupcakes. Many, many times! Omg. Yum. Tons of flavors. They make three types of biscuits and sell egg sandwiches made from them. The egg has a lot of rise and looks delicious (have not eaten it) but its made with the jalapeno biscuit.... And I have had that (almost every time I come in!!!). the jalapeño biscuit I usually purchase and eat at home. No joke, it's my favorite of all time favorite biscuit in Columbus. Im obsessed with it. If your still reading... give them a try. (And get the biscuit) I think you will like them!!!!.“

“A wonderful family owned business that I would visit again! The food was delicious, with a nice variety of options to choose from! The staff was very kind too! Reminds me of grandma's kitchen. I loved the antiques and old pictures that decorate the restaurant! I ordered their club cheeseburger and waffle fries!“

“I recently tried a latte from upper cup coffee and it was very good. The coffee shop is cute and definitely a nice place to sit down and study or work while enjoying a cup of coffee. The place was very clean and the service was great. My latte was served with a cute little heart too! There is plenty of parking all around this shop. You should try this place out and you won't be disappointed!“

“A fascinating cafe that blends the industrial aesthetic of their company with a cozy cafe. The cafe is fitted with lots of wood and metal accents with a full view of their industrial roaster as you wait for your coffee. Giving patrons a sneak peek into a step of the process your coffee goes through before it makes it into your cup. They have some oatmeal, bread slices, and small snacks available, but it's clear the big draw here is their quality coffee. With plenty of comfortable seating this is a great place to get some work done or relax with a book. They have a few tables for larger groups as well. Allegro coffee naturally offers coffee beans to take home as well. The wall was beautifully displayed and lit, with options to purchase by the bag or by weight. I was pleasantly surprised to see they also offered some bagged tea options. Not just the typical 2-3 flavors, but a wider selection included oolong and some green tea options. The Ginger peach black tea and the oolong are coming home with me. I took a seat at one of their small tables and enjoyed one of their seasonal drinks: Salted Caramel latte (iced). Toasty coffee with just a hint of caramel sweetness, and flaky salt, it was perfect. Thank you to the baristas for their help in selecting a drink.“

“Taqueria El GirasolTaqueria El Girasol is a recent addition to the Westerville dining scene and is one of my new favorites. Owned by a family originally from Mexico City they offer traditional Mexican food from a slightly abbreviated menu. The abbreviated menu doesn’t bother me because it is a small restaurant and I would rather they do a few things well than have to cut corners with a larger menu. One thing Taqueria El Girasol offers that is usually missing from local Mexican menus is breakfast dishes.Doing my due diligence I read several previous reviews of the establishment and I will now address some of the earlier concerns in one sentence or less. The chips were warm, the salsa was thick, the horchata was cold and the food was deliciously seasoned.The FoodToday I chose Huevos A La Mexicana. Eggs scrambled with tomato, onions and Jalapeños. It was cooked perfectly and not overcooked as is easy to do. It was well seasoned and served hot. It was in my opinion a good value for the money spent. I have never ordered a dish here that once finished left me hungry. Speaking of good values the desserts here are easily large enough for two servings and are absolutely delicious.The FacilityThe signage in front makes the restaurant easy to find even though it is situated almost in the corner spot of a small strip. Once inside the dining is nicely decorated with artworks that pay homage to both Mexico and Central Ohio. The table arrangement is nicely laid out and not cramped. Overall the dining room and restrooms are very clean and neat in appearance.The PeopleThe people who represent your business can make or break your business. The people I have talked to at Taqueria El Girasol are some of the nicest I have met in a while. They have always welcomed me in or welcomed me back and have always made me feel truly welcome. They have also always thanked me for my visit. Not just one of my favorite restaurants but also some of my favorite people.Personal observations and preferencesNot much I would change about Taqueria El Girasol. Would like the option of flour or corn tortillas with some dishes but to be fair it may be something that all I had to do was asked for. Also business hours of 10:00AM-10:00PM are not conducive breakfast dining and the breakfast dishes on the menu. I understand this is a family business and the importance of balancing life with work, but I’d be interested to see whether they would be more busy between say 8:00AM to 10:00AM or 8:00PM-10:00PM.Final thoughts and recommendationsOverall I would have no reservations recommending Taqueria El Girasol to a friend or family member, or for that matter taking a friend or family member there to eat.“
