“Delicious. Our host treated us to pumpkin bread, scones, cookies, and lemon pull-apart bread. All were fantastic, but the chocolate chip cookies and lemon pull-apart bread were memorable for sure. I would purchase these over and over again if I lived in the area.“
“A relaxing Veterans day morning taking my daughter to enjoy some quiet time at Panera. Her cinnamon roll and hot chocolate were wonderful; not the best she's ever had but very good. Her hot chocolate was warming and tasty. I had a simple toasted buttered bagel and coffee. What made it so wondeful was the relaxed environment. I need it after so many busy days at work. I had just gotten done with my 3rd shift when I went home to pick up my daughter and take her to Panera. I'm glad I made that decision, some good memories came about from it. Thank you, Panera.I know the staff can feel the rush from the customers. Hopefully, someone from the store reads this that was working on Veterans day and know that I appreciate you being there. I appreciate your hard work. And this veteran thanks you for being there so I could have that morning to relax with my daughter.“
“Absolutely fantastic. The flavors are perfectly blended with spices and sweeter drinks to cool the taste buds. Though the line was long right at 12 they moved so fast and were so efficient at getting people their food and drinks. The staff were all very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend. The chef is up for multiple awards and should win!“
“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.“
“Best matcha place in town if you like strong matcha taste and not too sweet deserts. Not a lot of selection when we went, could be because they were having construction. The matcha cream puff was so good, fluffy with lots of cream. The soft serve was tasty and creamy. There’s no dine in area though.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Tabletop is a wonderful place to hang out for a hours with your friends... They have tons of fun games to choose from that are organized with a helpful color-coded system. What it may lack in atmosphere is more than made up by the friendly, helpful staff and delicious food and drink selections. Highly recommend!“
“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“
“This is my favorite cafe in Westerville. Not only is the coffee great but the fact that they donate everything after operating costs to a different charity each month is such a great business model. Starbucks would never! The space is huge and clean and comfy. No complaints.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 is a breakfast restaurant. So it's only open until 2:30pm. They serve organic food and interesting juice combinations. My favorite is the Trifecta. I get eggs, bacon, and a large Belgian waffle, all perfectly prepared and served on a large square plate. I also opted for a juice drink called a Mango Passion Palmer, a combination of mango and passion fruit juices with green tea with a lemon wedge. It was quite good. This is a good family restaurant with a selection that should appeal to kids as well.“
“Oh. My. Gosh. I loved this place! Why can't I give 6 stars?! Loved that they have perfected their menu. They don't have so much that they are spreading themselves thin. Everyone knows the menu so well, and the coffee is perfection. The line moved so quickly, it was a well operated machine, but were still friendly!“
“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.“
“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.“
“This is my absolute vote food spot in not only Clintonville, but Columbus. An odd mix of deli/Asian fusion/salad bar/bagel sandwich/bubble tea shop! You can get a high quality lox bagel, or the best dragon roll you’ve ever had. The vibe is great for studying, or popping in for a quality casual lunch with family or friends.I cannot recommend enough, and I cannot emphasize how much I mean that. For the last 10 years of my life Cornerstone has been a staple that has never disappointed.Parking: You park across the street in the free lot, or on the street. It’s kind of clunky, but works for the shop!“
“Some of the best coffee I've ever had. Their Buckeye Latte and New Grounds Mocha are my favorite. The caramel macchiato is also amazing. I look forward to getting New Grounds every time I'm in the area. Everyone ought to support this local coffee shop!“
“I actually thought it was great! For those confused, this used to not be a restaurant that served warm meals with a different name, now completely changed and is a cafe. Atmosphere is beautiful with gorgeous pictures of the country and lovely music playing. I highly enjoyed the coffee I purchased it. There was a long wait time for one cup of coffee, it seemed they took their time preparing, but this issue can easily be fixed and is understandable for a new place. Please go and check out the sweets in the glass case!“
“Had brunch here again today... because breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal! I usually order the "Classic Eggs Benedict", but decided to go off the rails and ordered "The Works" omelette, side of potatoes and bacon, accompanied by some really good multigrain, whole wheat toast. Oh, and to really switch things up, instead of coffee, I had their wonderful hot chocolate with whip cream and caramel topping. I told the server the only thing missing was some teeny, tiny marshmallows under the whip cream as a nice surprise. As far as the ambience, this place is a little more upscale than the sole proprietor diner. However, the food is certainly on par.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“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.“
“Great new stop! This is what this area of dublin needs! Love that each shop has its own variety of options/flavors! Also love their protein ball bites that are available, it’s a nice touch to the options available! One thing that I will notate is that this one is pricey in comparison to the other locations, not sure how they are different but didn’t skimp on quality! Will be back!“
“This was my first experience with Somali food and people. Sophina and her family provided an exceptionally enjoyable dining experience for newcomers.They offered complimentary food and drinks, checked in on us at the table, and always had warm smiles at the ready.One plate feeds two, and the quality of the meat and produce was amazing! Thank you!“
“For anyone curious, there is a new bakery in the space. Vget Bakery & Cafe is currently having a soft open and plans to be fully open early May. They serve egg toast, rice balls, and Hong Kong style milk tea. They will be serving coffee once they fully open. The food I've tried so far is great and I'm looking forward to the grand opening!“
“I have been stopping in for the wheat grass shots and (Strawberry and banana) smoothie which by the way is delicious !!! One of the employees recommended the wheatgrass and now I'm addicted. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming! Great atmosphere! Prices are great! Love it!“
“Stepping into the bustling hubbub of Katalina's, Too! is an experience in itself. The place is often busy, a testament to its popularity and the culinary delights it offers. Yes, the prices may be on the steeper side, but every bite justifies the cost and reinforces why people continually flock to this eatery.The Mexican "French" Toast was a delightful fusion of flavors. It's not your typical French toast, but a unique spin that's both surprising and satisfying. The blend of spices and the soft, fluffy texture of the bread made each mouthful a joy.But the real star of the show were the Pancake Balls. These heavenly morsels were simply out of this world. Perfectly cooked, with a beautiful balance of sweetness and tanginess, they were a true delight. Each bite was like a little surprise, leaving you eagerly anticipating the next.Yes, Katalina's, Too! may be busy, yes, it may be expensive, but it delivers an exceptional dining experience that leaves you understanding why people can't get enough of it. If you're looking for a place to indulge and enjoy some truly delicious food, Katalina's, Too! should be on your list.“
“This establishment transcends the typical nursery or garden; it's a beloved local gem where one can immerse themselves in a world of botanical wonders. Here, you'll discover a wide array of plants, flowers, and decorative items that will captivate your senses and elevate your surroundings.Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a book club meeting at their cafe, a delightful surprise as I was previously unaware of their culinary offerings. The menu they offer for brunch is truly outstanding, featuring a delectable selection of dishes that cater to diverse tastes. Among the highlights were the scrumptious Four Cheese Quiche and the mouthwatering Harvest Quiche, which I had the pleasure of savoring. The Grilled Vegetable Flatbread and Risotto were equally impressive, showcasing their commitment to fresh and flavorful ingredients.To top off the culinary journey, their seasonal plated dessert, featuring a delightful of sorbet and cheesecake, was a heavenly finale. It's a place where you can savor both the beauty of nature and the pleasures of gastronomy. This place is my favorite!“
“Went in for the first time, got a super friendly greeting and an incredibly delicious buckeye shake! It was a little more expensive than I expected it to be, but it's worth it as a treat. The shake was super good and the staff was really kind. I'll definitely be back! As a runner, they have a ton of great options for refueling, which can be pretty hard to find.“
“Absolutely loved this place! The food was aAmazing! They have no deep fryers, heat lamps, or microwaves in the entire place so you know your getting real cook to order food! The million dollar bacon is melt in your mouth! (Literally) Definitely will be visiting again soon!“
“Excellent customer service and great energy for her business. We tried this place for the first time today and will return. We tried the strawberry banana and mexican wedding cake shakes along with strawberry watermelon and a pineapple crush teas. Delicious! Lots of flavors to choose from and the shakes are quite filling!! 24g of protein in the shakes so it is an excellent meal replacement for me. Half through and I am very satisfied. 100% love it.“
“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.“
“I've actually never been to this café/restaurant but have ordered from them countless times: without question, one of the most amazing and delicious options for health-conscious lunch or dinner in the Columbus area. Their food is fresh, inspired and thoroughly satisfying. I regularly get their spectacular Buffalo Chicken Pizza, sometimes a wrap (love their Asian Thai!), plus maybe a side salad (such as egg) and a smoothie (Açaí is my favorite). And they have so many other options I haven't even tried yet! Check out their website - they list detailed nutritional information for each item which is super helpful if you're tracking what you eat. I am just really grateful this place exists and hope they keep going for a long time.“
