If you want a sit down and order restaurant, this is not the place to go.You have to order your food.Then, walk next door to sit down and eat. The food is very good, but the portions are super small.If you're hungry do not go to this place you will not get filled up.The price they charge is for a large portion but they give you a very small portion in a bowl.

I was super excited to try this place based on their online following and reviews. Sad to discover it fell very far from expectations. First, very confusing ordering. The lady taking our order was very sweet but ended up messing our order up somehow. We ordered (or attempted to order) Caribbean Jerk Salad and 3 orders of Biscuits and Gravy - one with 3 Biscuits and the other two with 2 Biscuits, a chocolate cupcake and a chocolate brownie. When we came back 15 minutes later to retrieve our order, we only received 1 order of biscuits and gravy, the Salad and the baked goods. Unfortunately they do not provide receipts - so I don't even know what was paid for or not. But the order was a little over $30 - so I assumed it was correctly entered and paid for. I went back in to retrieve the additional biscuits and gravy and explained I did not have a receipt so I can't see if it was paid for or not. The cashier I assume looked at the original order, somehow, and then told me I had to pay $12.50 for the biscuits & gravy plus an additional biscuit. While I was confused about the totals and inquired what was paid for originally - never really received a good clarification and just went ahead and paid bc the kids and hubby were in the car hungry and waiting.
Despite the ordering issues, I was still optimistic. It's pricey but I'm sure it will be delicious. Well again, the taste and quality and quantity of the food fell short. Way over peppered

We had a catered luncheon and ordered for 50 people. Food was delicious. The 2 proteins were really short. Only had 40 guests and ran out very quickly. Don't normally put in review but got no response on my email questioning why we were short.

Guy at the front desk was super chill I assume he was the owner. Food was insane, so good it pissed me off that I had never tried it before. Baked goods were awesome, coffee was delicious. I assume the only reason there is no line outside the door is because people are afraid of trying something new. Definitely give it a try. Absolutely delicious

The absolute best place in Ohio for Macarons. Don't even try to argue with me, because I'm not listening.

Treated my parents to a special dine-in brunch and they loved it! They told me in their own words that Chef Nav was very engaging and fun! Everything was delicious and they can't stop thinking about how amazing the food was. They also demanded that I let them know when these events happen so they can sign up on the regular!

Delicious fusion restaurant 😋 perogis, Cajun, baked sweets, coffee and more. Service is excellent. We'll be back 😊
Half Baked Bistro is a must-stop shop in downtown Mount Vernon. Chefs Nav and Rebecca (and their staff) offer absolutely delightful meals to suit any palate. I try to order something different every time, and the food is always phenomenal, bursting with flavor whether I'm in the mood for brisket, pepper pot, chicken, vegan fare or gluten free. A scratch kitchen with top-notch taste, this place has elevated the food offerings for the whole community. Also, the lattes are always nice and hot! 100% recommend, 10/10.

Warning to new customers - unethical advertising. Based the reviews, we have been trying to get a pierogi here each time we are in Mount Vernon for the last year. They are always “sold out” and we have uncovered the sad reason. Part of their success has been built on the facade “you need to get the pierogis before they sell out” - however, they “sell out” because they don’t make pierogis often. (Despite the big sign.) So if they are not sold out, they are not fresh. I do not recommend consuming any food from a place that knowingly deceives customers.

Regularly go in here for the brownies, éclairs, and macarons. Pecan pie is great, and they even did a vegan apple cake for my wife’s friend.
