“I have returned from my hiatus to speak on behalf of parable (again). Pastries just wake me up like nothing else. I say that but every time I try to get to parable "early" (i.e., before 10am), I fail to do so ;'( But it's ok! These days there are still goodie pastries available for the sleepy birbs (hurrah) Unfortunately, my gastrointestinal system did not hunger at that hour of the morn, so the spinach artichoke danish was a bit of an underwhelming experience, even though the danish was freshly toasted ;'( I liked the chip though (cronch). Otherwise, it kind of gave artichoke dip but served in a pastry vessel instead of a plastic container. I enjoyed the honey grapefruit brûlée circle croissant and guava cream cheese pastelito more. Neither were too sweet and both had nice crispity crunchities! Service was very thoughtful as well! Whenever staff brought pastries to someone's table, they'd always ask if the person would like a fork and would then go run and grab one. I personally prefer to go feral on my food with my fingers but the gesture seemed very kind. Also, I'm pretty sure the entire album of The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was played. We stan queer icons“
“Do not sleep on this place! I'm in Columbus for work and wasn't sure where to go for breakfast. Saw the 5 stars and decided on Scotty's! The food was delicious and they have sausage patties, which are far superior to the links. Had a tasty breakfast and great service. Highly recommend!“
“We came on an extremely busy night (St. Patrick’s Day weekend and during Ramadan) and the place was packed. We had a large group of 7 and the chef and staff went out of their way to get us seated, pushing tables together and checking on us multiple times to make sure we were comfortable. They all had smiles on their faces and were genuinely helpful. The food came out SO quickly, we barely had to wait. Everyone’s meals were delicious, and the hummus was divine. ? Highly recommend!“
“My fiancé and I love coming here. We grab lattes every weekend and are never disappointed. It’s the perfect grab and go latte spot. The drinks are affordable and seriously delicious. Everyone who works there is always delightful and makes for a joyful experience. 10/10 recommend.“
“The Bacon Egg Breakfast Sandwich was absolutely delicious! We split one between the two of us and were not disappointed. The price($10) was a bit high, but after eating it, I understand why. The quality of ingredients were definitely superior to other breakfast sandwiches we've had. YUM! We would definitely go back to try more items. Thank you!“
“This Japanese marketplace is absolutely adorable! I tried mocha mousse, coffee cream roll, and savory breads, all of which were incredibly delicious. The cake was delightfully moist, and the chocolate ganache had the perfect balance of sweetness and coffee flavor.“
“Chloe was awesome! It was definitely an excellent experience. Be prepared to spend some $$$$$.Forcing me to coat check my suit jacket and charging me for it is really stupid, though, especially after I wore it for the paid burlesque show before the open nightclub time.The chicken strips were awful.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there's an elevator.“
“Whoever curated the space and the menu, your a divine woman ? ? my husband and I will always find some time to drive over an hour from Cincinnati to this beautiful breakfast spot in Columbus. The food is increíble ? I always order the same thing (The Blueberry Chia Bowl is so unique and delicious I’ve never had anything like it before, the Avo Toast with Lox & an egg on top, and the Matcha is Heaven ? we always come here before spa appointments so it gets us in the right state of mind pre-spa. Amazing service“
“Our Non-Profit organization held a fundraiser and reception for a visiting author. We chose Mozart's due to our years long appreciation of the food and service. Anand worked with our group to provide a wonderful atmosphere for our event. The staff were attentive and very professional in their assistance. The food was delicous and enjoyed by all the attendees. It was the perfect place and we had a wonderful time.“
“I really like this place, only thing I don’t like is how this is a jazz bar but they add $20 extra to your tab for them having a band. It’s a JAZZ bar! That’s like going to a water park and they charge you an extra $20 for the use of the water lol tipping the band should be optional for the customers or at least post a sign stating that. I don’t have a problem with paying it just through me off guard. Plus you’re still tipping the waiter.“
“Great little spot for some lunch or a sweet treat. We stopped in and had a sandwich and a piece of cake for lunch and it was amazing. Service was so nice and engaging you have to give it a shot. Oh, and get the carrot cake but better bring help, the slice is the size of your head! “
“Fabulous experience at Sycamore with impromptu seats at the bar. Started with a huge salad and the sticky carrots which had a bit of heat -- both were delicious and the salad was big enough to be an entree salad. Ravioli and Veggie Tagine were both fantastic. Complex seasoning and flavors and both vegetarian. Finished off with a strawberry rhubarb pie a la mode. Everything was excellent. And the service was outstanding.“
“Tabletop is a great place to meet up with friends for games. I go several times a month. Their overall beverage selection is pretty strong - both alcoholic and non. Not a huge variety of beers to choose from but enough to get something quality you'll enjoy. The food is simple, but it is healthy, easy to eat while you play and not a wallet-buster.“
“Only reason I gave it 5 stars is so this can be seen. The food is mid at best, staff is decent. The MAIN reason I'll never be returning is because of candy (a server) we sat in her section and she just went missing multiple times. We sat with our food getting cold because we had no silverware and syrup. Then she comes back stinking of cigarette... after we already flagged down another server to assist us.“
“I went here with my friends today (she got the reservation so I can’t comment on the reservation system-but it seemed to go smoothly) and really enjoyed the experience! The staff were pretty unpleasant (except the shorter girl with the brown hair and ponytail), the girl working at the front desk kind of seemed like she hated her life, and the other girl working the session after ours with the frizzy blonde hair and classes seemed super tired and disinterested. My food was ok, the bubble tea was good (came in a cute container) i just didn’t like it that much and i wish my churro donut was warm. But, alas. Ok enough negative, the KITTIES!! They were great and they had a lovely play area, super cute in there! Sweetest kitties i have ever met, they’re totally good with going up to them and petting bellies (most of them at least) and there was one kitty that was spotted that was super playful. I wanted to adopt them all!! Loved the kitties that was the best experience but service and food could’ve been better overall like it a lot and i would come back.:)Kid-friendliness: You probably shouldn’t bring your kids here because the kitties are sensitive to sound (and kids have the tendency to get excited and run)… So bring your 14 year old more mature kids and keep in mind the rules… lol“
“Nice area to get work done. The WiFi seemed questionable at times but I'd need to go back a few times for a better assessment. Staff all nice. Parking was free with 3hr limit posted on the signs. It was sunny when I went and enjoyed a calm walk exploring the area when I was done. I plan to come back periodically.“
“This is my favorite coffee shop in Columbus, because of the owner, the best barista in Columbus. Raymond is passionate about coffee and teaching others about how his products are sourced, and what makes them unique. He comes up with great specialty drinks with various herbs, spices, and fruit to keep things interesting in case you want to mix it up a little and try something new. His staff are well trained and knowledgeable about what they're making, and their expertise shines through all their drinks and snacks.Dietary restrictions: Coconut, oat, soy milk alternatives.Parking: Giant parking lot that fills up fast on the weekend.“
“I have quickly become a regular at Winn Winn Cafe. By far the best cookies in Columbus - especially the sugar cookie and chocolate chip. The coffee cake is also beyond delicious. Very cute and aesthetic location with phenomenal customer service.“
“Bright and wonderfully decorated modern space. Efficient counter service and delicious menu options. The vegan mango Lassi with cardamom was particularly special. Gluten free options were clearly available on the menu. Will definitely go back. We'll done.“
“Our 1st visit. It was restaurant week. Took awhile to be waited on after we were seated - they were quite busy and most likely not expecting the demand. Our waiter (in-training)was excellent). Our 3-course meals were wonderful with very fresh ingredients ..the lobster pasta dish was amazing. Nice atmosphere. We will be back.“
“The food was delicious. I had the Mexicali salad and my husband had the pimento cheeseburger with fries and rosemary aioli. Both of us had hot apple cider to drink, which is our favorite drink! The service was quick and friendly. We went during a peak time so it was hard to find an open table right away (you seat yourself). The restaurant was clean, warm, and buzzing.Parking: There is a free lot in the back and extremely limited street parking. There's generally a constant turnover of a few cars in the parking lot but you might have to wait a few minutes for a spot to open up.“
“This place was great! We moved to the neighborhood recently, and it's so wonderful to have a good cafe within walking distance. We were immediately greeted by the owners and thanked for coming in. Silvia took our order and was so sweet. The chicken salad and turkey burger were both delicious, and the coffee was incredible. We drank our lattes so fast we ordered a second round to go. The owner showed me around to the meeting areas and was so sweet and personable. I hate to think how much money I am going to be spending here, but glad to support this great business!“
“I'm very split on this place. I love that they clearly use high quality ingredients. I love that they have creative baked goods and breakfast/brunch items. I love the decor. However it is very expensive. Which would be fine, except half of the time (out of 4-5 times) I have gotten a meal here it has been bland. If I order a ham biscuit with horseradish sauce, that should have a ton of flavor, but lo and behold, somehow that happened (although the biscuits have always been consistently good). Where do you buy bland ham from? The service is generally quite dry... I always kind of get the impression that I'm an inconvenience. The employees aren't overtly mean or disrespectful, but they don't really do much to make the place feel welcoming. Again, that'd be fine if it weren't for the lack of consistency and the prices. However their desserts have always been very good, and I always like to see what seasonal pie they are doing. It's hard for me not to step in and buy a slice when I'm walking by on the sidewalk. You'd find me coming here much more often if they could make their breakfast/brunch consistently good enough to justify the high prices.“
“My partner and I LOVE this place! He usually gets general tsos, and I usually get a club sandwich, but their menu is huge and diverse. I love that I can get a deli sandwich and a side of crab rangoon. And the food is GOOD. Seriously SO GOOD. Lettuce and tomato on my sandwich is always fresh, the bacon is sooo good, and they have tons of bagel options! Their pricing is also incredible, and service is fast and always accurate! Honestly kind of tearing up writing this review, I hope this place stays here forever and never changes. It's a very nostalgic feeling spot in the most comforting way.“
“First time eating at Another Broken Egg Cafe. I ordered the Mardi Gras Omelette, City Grits and Buttermilk Pancakes. The omelette was outstanding!! It was filled with Louisiana crawfish, gulf shrimp, andouille sausage and red peppers. Every bite was filled with seafood goodness!! The grits were cooked to perfection and were super creamy! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious! Our server, Sylvia, was very attentive, knowledgeable and charismatic. We arrived just before the deluge of customers!!! Even though the restaurant was super busy, our food arrived promptly. Overall, it was a memorable experience and we can’t wait to return!!“
“Beautiful location, inside and out. The stained glass windows look great.Right when I took my first sip of the Almond Joy latte I knew it was the best latte I have ever had. Great taste, great price, great vibes.Maybe wish there were more outlets & seating but it was busier when I went.“
“First time visiting today! I got a latte and their breakfast burrito to go.Latte - 8/10 for taste! I would’ve liked it to be a bit hotter. I’ll remember to ask for it extra hot next time :)Burrito - didn’t think it would be so large! it was quite tasty to say the least. 10/10.Service - 10/10! I was greeted as soon as I opened the door, the woman working the front counter today was friendly & patient.Long story short, I will definitely be back again soon!“
“We went there for the first time on Christmas day. Everything else was closed so we figured why not try something new? It is an AUTHENTIC Somali restaurant. We were the only Americans there. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. They didn't have a menu you when we went, our server just asked what meat we wanted and we couldn't decide so he brought us an assortment. Fish, chicken, and goat. The goat was amazing!! We will probably get all goat next time. We got spaghetti and rice, both were fantastic. I would recommend. It feels like you are stepping out of Columbus and into another country when you enter this establishment.“
“A fun hipster coffee shop to casually hang out or catch up on some emails. Plants all have names and they play dope vinyls. The viet coffee I ordered took awhile to come out.. like 20 minutes. So it was a bit awkward having coffee with a friend but without coffee in front of me for so long lol. Viet coffee... was actually not as strong as I was hoping but it was still a decent drink Parking can get hairy if it gets busy but there's a small handful of spots along their storefront“
“Great little Italian restaurant. Family run for at least the past 35-40 years?❤️❤️Parking: Parking out front and on the side will fill up during peak hours. Behind the store is parking for a nearby shopping center. It’s a very small walk from restaurant to plenty of parking if you can’t find a spot up front.“
“First time to Cafe Elena, and I'd love to come back and try more options from the menu. When you walk in, you stand and wait to be seated. There are baked good that you can purchase to go, and the menu is super diverse. This is on a plaza next to Planet Fitness. Plenty of parking available. Service was great. They were busy, but very nice! Food was great! They had sweet and savory options. Their food was very fresh. Berries looked delicious, beans were washed for the huevos rancheros, smoothie was delicious.“
“The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. My friends and I love German Village, and Stauf's obviously had to be our first stop, so we could explore with our coffees! The coffee shop has their main area, as well as another room for studying or working remotely. I will definitely be coming back to enjoy the ambiance!“
“Great place! The food was so good FOR LUNCH I had to double back for dinner. The atmosphere is very clean and the employees are very friendly. The food was prepared fast and very tasty ?. If you are in the Columbus area stop here and get a bite! 5 STAR ? They also have really good “
“A popular, corner spot to eat breakfast and brunch in Columbus. They said they have "award winning" breakfast tacos for $16. When you say, "award winning" you obviously have to order it. Now a CA gal knows her tacos. These tacos were good. You can taste the fresh made corn tortillas. Crema, cotija cheese and avocado made it stand out. I liked the chorizo and egg combo as well. It came with an ear of street corn which was good. Make sure to have clean hands because this could get messy. It is delicious. Here's my issue, my standards for tacos are pretty high coming from CA. While the taco was good, a $16 price point for 3 relatively small tacos in a paper vessel seems somewhat expensive, especially sitting outside in a cold patio. Maybe $12-13 and I would have been raving about this place. Surprisingly food is just as expensive in Columbus as it is in CA.“
“Wonderful place to have lunch during our museum outing. They validated parking (~$7 value). The kid menu is definitely affordable and can probably feed an adult if you order an additional appetizer. I just kept wanting to eat more pumpkin curry soup.....every bite was like, I want another bite. It was very savory and flavorful. The burger on a pretzel bun was cooked just right (thank you for not pressing the meat). The beet fried chips were light and although completely made out of beets, just barely tasted like beets. Sweet potato fries were excellent also.“
“Good food and friendly servers. The Chopped Salad is awesome. To our surprise, the burgers were free today for Earth Day ? ?. Very good if your in to Black bean veggie burgers. A little heavy on the Dijon for me, but flavorful. Peanut butter cookie was awesome and huge.“
“Grandview Grind is QUIET, and I love it. Nothing against other Columbus coffee staples (you know who you are), but very often the noise is too loud to hold a comfortable conversation or just study in peace. Grandview Grind is a great place for either. Please go and enjoy good lattes, good (though limited) bakery, and a pleasant variety of seasonal drinks. Also, they frequently have a varied offering of local coffee beans AND you can buy them in bulk if that's your need.5/5 would recommend Grandview Grind to anyone who likes coffee, quiet, or both“
“We were in town visiting OSU and we had heard of this place since they have a few locations back home in Chicago burbs. Glad we ate here before we headed home. Great food, friendly service and restaurant was very clean. Food was served fast which was appreciated.“
“As always, even though they were busy, food was hot and service team was exemplary!! You actually felt like they wanted you there!! I've had the Floridian French toast and it's enough to share, or have over 2 meals!!!Vegetarian options: There are so many no meat options to choose from!! They have no issues when you ask to customize a meal.Dietary restrictions: No cheese...no dairy?? No problem!! They customize with a smile!!“
“This place is phenomenal! From the customer service to the tips they offer you while trying to focus on healthy options. James is awesome and very friendly. Very knowledgeable about determination and healthy habits for a fitness mindset.My son requested we go back a second time today for a tea and shake! My son said I give this place a thumbs up and a 1,000 out of 10! I had pretty in pink and my son had a birthday cake shake! Absolutely delicious.“
“Delicious and a lovely variety of tea! All the food was fresh and made with care and had a beautiful presentation. If you like tea and a calm environment I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: There aren't a ton of meat substitutes however there was a large selection of the menu that didn't come with meat and a few options with tofu which I liked!“
“I love the creativity of this place! The coffee drinks are so fun, and the specialty flavors change monthly. The layered toasts are also really tasty! A fun new coffee & tea shop in town.I do recommend ordering it doordash or pick-up ahead of time online instead of going to the site to order, my first time visiting I didn’t realize it was a ghost kitchen. There is no cafe to sit in. I usually order through Doordash :)I recommend the current month’s Shamrock-iato!!“
“Excellent Kolache, the dough is just perfect and the menu has both regular staple items and seasonal items don't be afraid to try them both. Take home many of everything I wasn't disappointed but anything, my personal favorite was the cinnamon roll and the savory chorizo jalapeno. Service is prompt and friendly. They are co-housed with a tap house so I would get it and go, not much of an atmosphere to sit down and enjoy breakfast there.“
“Great breakfast foods for reasonable prices. I've been here twice before, once ordered the Traditional breakfast, and this last time the spicy seoul seasonal dish, pictured in this review. It was outstanding. Great flavor, moderate spice level, enough food to fill me up, and really well presented. My fiancée ordered this coffee, I can't quite remember the name, but it was so good and hard to beat price-wise since it was less than $6. Service was good and the restaurant is clean and nice looking inside. If you want a good breakfast, either traditional or non-traditional dishes, be sure to check this place out.“
“Definitely a hidden gem on campus! Highly recommend checking this spot out for just a quick cup of coffee, some breakfast, or to check out their great lunch options. This cinnamon roll was equally beautiful and delicious. The Munster grilled cheese is also AMAZING!! I guarantee I will be back to try it again! My only complaint is that they don’t take swipes or dining dollars for students and only take BuckId.“
“I had the pleasure of stumbling into GVN one day on my walk around German Village and I was excited to see that they offered Acai Bowls. YUMMMMM. It is hard to find a good, fresh acai bowl in Columbus that doesn't have all the additives. Well GVN has a perfect, fresh Acai Bowl with upwards of 20 options for toppings. Service is also amazing. Now, if only they had Nutella! ;)Vegetarian options: They do not service meat.“
“This is a very new place. It has a very comfortable vibe and the staff was knowledgeable, nice and courteous. There are many options of shakes and teas.I ordered the Beach Bum (cherry, pineapple, coconut) tea and my husband ordered the Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake shake. Both were delicious! The tea was refreshing and flavorful though I'd like it to be more "beachy" than cherry but, overall it was a great price and I'd totally order again!My super picky husband enjoyed the shake. He actually said that we are leaving beloved Starbucks for this flavorful, nutritious alternative! I enjoy that we are enjoying things that aren't full of sugar and give us energy. Definitely a returner.“
“This is a MUST VISIT in Columbus! They have limited hours, so check before you go.Sylvanna took great care of us. Scotty and his Mrs. made their rounds the entire time, refilling drinks and making everyone feel welcome. This will be one of your favorite destinations after just the first visit. I enjoyed the meatloaf and the waffle while my guest wolfed down a sandwich and French toast.If you disagree about this place, I will meet you there and fight you in the parking lot. It won't solve anything, but at least I'll be able to enjoy some waffles after you whip me.“
