This place was surprisingly amazing! We ordered the hot mochas, the French toast, the Green Chili Roasted Pork Hash and the biscuits and gravy. The portions were fantastic and the prices were great. There’s about no other place in Columbus you can get healthy and quality foods for this great price. It was a bit empty when we came in for brunch on a Saturday, but the staff was quick and very friendly. Will be returning!

First time visiting with my partner, immediately felt cozy and calm. Warm welcoming servers and even warmer drinks. Warning: come with a empty stomach and be ready to try EVERYTHING! I love their cafe latte with brown butter syrup and oat milk ♥️. Was given a wonderful suggestion for the build your own bowl and will recommend it too, especially with the breakfast aoli. Worth every penny spent for such amazing dishes and kind service.

I’m surprised to see a lot of negative reviews because everything I get from here is so tasty and good. I love their lattes too.

I come in here from time to time & every time I come in the place is spotless, including the restrooms! The food is simple but fresh,hence their name. The food is also affordable! I love the decor & the ambiance this place has . I also enjoy the fresh complimentary cucumber water & every time I come the parking is great! I was also told by an employee that not only do Nationwide Children’s staff get discounted rates off their food but also patients, way to give back to the community DIRECTLY! I will be lifetime customer!

All my food was room temperature, they forgot my latte and I had to remind them and take it to go, when I asked for change to leave a proper tip the person at the counter pretty much refused forcing me to leave a larger tip than service warranted. I spent 90 bucks not including tip for cold food mind you eggs came out first which is ridiculous. I understand they save on having servers but they need to better streamline the service process it’s very unorganized.

Waited like 40 minutes for food, got my food and my friend had to wait another 10 minutes to get hers. The omelet was cold, the bread wasn’t even toasted and honestly made me feel a little sick after. The breakfast potatoes were the only good thing on the plate. Definitely not coming back.

If you have food allergies save yourself a headache and your health. Do not eat here! My husband and I traveled two hours for the Buckeye game on 11/1. I always research eateries before our travels d/t our food allergies. I called and spoke to a female on 10/27,(late morning/early afternoon) to discuss gluten free/dairy free options. We excitedly visit this establishment on 11/2 before our road trip back home. I’m GF. My husband is GF and DF. I ordered a chicken fajita omelet that came with a side of home fries, GF toast, and, chicken sausage. I expressed that I am gluten free to the cashier and he went back to check with the food preparers and he said everything is okay. However it was NOT. I can eat in a cross contamination kitchen so that was not the problem. Something I ate whether it be seasoning on the potatoes, a marinade, or something in the sauces or poblano sauce definitely had gluten in it. Matter of fact I only ate one sausage, a small portion of my potatoes, and two bites of the omelette before my stomach began to let me know that all was not well. I asked the cashier did anything I ordered have gluten and he said no. After spending about 15 minutes in the bathroom I came out to speak with Madison the manager and informed her that something I ate definitely had gluten and she offered her sincere apologies. I was not looking for a refund, I did not ask for one nor was one offered, however I don’t want an apology either. I want you, your staff, the cooks, and everyone else to KNOW what they are serving because it could cost someone that has a life threatening allergy severe problems. Honest cafe is not so honest after all. Maybe her apologies will help my miserable stomach on our two hour trip back home. Ugh.

Stopped by while passing through Columbus since the ratings looked good and the building seemed new and trendy. The food was okay, but the experience overall was a bit disappointing. The manager seemed to have an attitude with certain people, and the staff appeared confused and unsure about their own menu. Prices felt a bit high for what you get. I also ordered coffee, but it was forgotten — when I asked about it, I received it cold and missing the extra shot I ordered.

I've been to this place before and the last time i went it was pretty good. This time I got the Green Chili Roasted Pork Hash and I was pretty disappointed. More than half of it was onions and peppers. The roasted pork was good but there was hardly any of it and it was mostly fat. I also got a cappuccino and it was not good. I didn't even finish it.

First I would like to say there's a white guy working at the front counter. He kept popping his bumps, touching his hair, putting his hands on his face, all while making drinks at the front. He took the spoon that they mixed the drinks with and was digging the in the oranges machine and not once did he wash his hands have on any gloves. He digged in his pants it was a very unpleasant nasty sight to see specially when someone is handling your food and drinks. Needless to say I did not drink the drinks that he touched. Now as far as the food the French toast that I ordered was very dry but the fruit on top was good. My husband said that the egg bacon bagel was okay too much cheese in the fried potatoes were really dry. Do not recommend this restaurant I would never go back there all because of the guy that was upfront he is disgusting.
