Traveling for work is tough. Long days turn into late nights, and eating healthy often falls by the wayside. That’s why I was excited to discover Portia’s Cafe, a spot dedicated to fresh, nutritious ingredients. Their menu is vegan, gluten-free, GMO-free, and organic, using local produce whenever possible. After a marathon day at the office, I ordered delivery straight to my hotel room.
While Portia’s leans toward lunch with its quesadillas, salads, and wraps, good food is good food any time of day. I went with the Notuna Salad and Red Lentil Soup—a classic combo that absolutely hit the spot. The notuna (made from mashed, seasoned chickpeas, I believe) was flavorful, especially with the creamy cashew dressing over fresh greens and shredded carrots. The red lentil soup added a comforting heft to the light salad. I couldn’t resist finishing with an apple almond cookie for a sweet ending.
Portia’s got me through my work night. I’ll definitely be back on future trips to Columbus.

Like many (most?) on Happy Cow I use the ap to define travel paths.
Portia’s is FANTASTIC.
They also have a health food store two doors down so we ended up having a great lunch and stocking up on supplies.
We even bought shirts!

Delicious vegan food! The staff is always so lovely as well. Food is ALWAYS on point. Pic of mushroom and tomato bisque, Saag paneer with tofu, and the super power wrap!

Came once and it was the better and the second time not so much. Took 15 minutes just to get checked in and our order placed. Hummus was a joke. Runny with no flavor and hardly any vegetables for $8. How do you mess up hummus? Wrap was actually pretty good, but there were some wilted pieces of lettuce in it. We were never even checked on and didn't have any water on our table nor did anyone ask if we wanted refills. And to top it off it looked like there was mold growing on on my cup...? Whatever it was it was disgusting and probably unhygienic. Safe to say I won't back, and I'm extremely disappointed with this experience.

On top of having my business sometimes I Doordash. Recently, I picked up an order and was intrigued with a soup they had and one of the employees let me try it & it was phenomenal! I love coming into a place and immediately feel a warm welcoming vibe! I will be back next time to dine in for myself lol.
Great place to get vegan food or even raw vegan meals as well. Staff and customer service always 5 stars.

Overpriced food and they are openly anti-vaxx. They advertise it all over their establishment and contributed towards others getting sick during the pandemic when they didn’t follow regulations and mask mandates. Their food just tastes bad overall as well. There are much better vegan places to support in Columbus- don’t go to this one 😊

This place strikes a good balance between tasty and healthy. We enjoyed the food and appreciated that it's not fast-food vegan restaurant. It felt like a throw-back to the late 90's/early 2000's, but with veganaise and daiya. It's also 100% gluten-free, so if you're looking for a tortilla or bread, you'll only find a gluten-free alternative. They have the best chai tea I've had a in a long time— it's actually spicy and not overly sweet!!
