The first thing I got was a milkshake which was the consistency of water- so I gave it back to the girls who were working. She fixed the milkshake but handed me a flurry that was the SAME consistency as the first milkshake! The two workers then went in the back, where I could still see them and were obviously gossiping about us (the costumer). Normally, I really enjoy my experience at 1340, but today I was not impressed.

At one time this was a decent ice cream and sandwich shop... At one time... Years ago... When it…read morewas the dairy twist. Unfortunately everything about this restaurant has gone downhill significantly. The past two times we have eaten there the food appeared to be microwaved leftovers dumped into a fancy cardboard takeout box. Specifically, I've ordered the pizza burger, the shredded chicken sandwich, and different ice cream products. The burger was greyish in color with a few cold pepperoni and the sauce on shredded chicken sandwich had clearly "broken" leaving it with a oily cottage cheese appearance. Nothing but the packaging appeared to be fresh. Most disappointing was the quality of the ice cream. My shake was inedible and the "two scoops" of other dish looked as if a teaspoon was used to portion the serving. Worst of all, my body violently rejected everything shortly after the last time we ate there. Wish them all the best, but it is clear the owner is absent and I will not be returning.

It's mainly Somali and Middle Eastern items. A few "American" drinks and snacks but also lots of imported spices and dry goods. Some baked goods, some meat. Some cold food, but I was on the way to work so couldn't get any. And some interesting imported drinks. I got a Mountain Dew and a Vimto, which says it is a "sparkling fruit flavor drink." There wasn't much sparkling going on, but it was pleasant and fruity. I would say mostly black currant, though the label also lists hibiscus, raspberry, and "black carrot." A handy little stop. Had what I needed and wanted, and more besides.

Cakes by Kat Bake Shop makes delicious (and adorable!) treats that they sell at the Westerville…read moreFarmer's Market and by special order/request. I picked up their cookie decorating kit mid-pandemic. Kat was fantastically helpful at arranging a pick-up time - even when I didn't check my email until the night before. She said I could pick up the order at her location - or at the Westerville Farmer's Market as well. (I think she also does home delivery within Dublin right now!) The kit was so adorably packaged including a little ribbon, my name, and instructions. Unlike other cookie-making kits I've picked up in the past, all of the icing packets were also entirely clean (no frosting residue on the outsides), and the cookies were wrapped in two-pack packets to optimal freshness. I decorated the cookies two days later, and the cookies were still fresh. We're going on four days after pick-up, and they're still great to be eating and taste completely fresh. Interestingly enough, Cakes by Kat Bake Shop uses almond cookies and royal icing. I'm really used to cookie decorating kits including buttercream frosting. If you're used to buttercream, royal icing will behave a bit differently, but it also makes it possible to "fill out" the entirety of a cookie with frosting easily compared to buttercream's firmer consistency. It also has a different taste. If you have someone who doesn't like super-sweet treats, I recommend making them one of these cookies with minimal frosting. The almond cookie is designed to be "less sweet" while the majority of sugar-goodness comes from the royal icing. So you can easily make "cookie treats" for those in your family who don't have a huge sweet tooth. Fantastic experience with Cakes by Kat, and I'll likely be ordering more of her cookie decorating kits as the seasons change.

I have had the pleasure of tasting Seed To Serve's food on many occasions, at many special events…read more Their catering setups with decor are always top notch, whether it's at a wedding or music festival. Their outdoor catering setups feel like a VIP garden party. Supporting farm-to-table is extremely important in this day and age, and this team of passionate folks does it the best in the city as far as catering is concerned (hence the name). They grow a ton of their own veggies at their micro farmstead, and they source other things locally whenever they can. They also rent out their smoothie bike, which is always a hit at events. More info is on their website. Kevin and Anj's commitment to incredible flavors and fabulous food makes their services hard to come by! Trips around the world to directly source spices that they incorporate into their food is just one of the unique elements Seed to Serve offers. Don't sleep on reaching out waaaay in advance if you want to book them.

You may note, as I often do, that this is the sort of pairing arrangement that is sometimes found with ethnic restaurants - a restaurant and a small grocery specializing in ethnic food and items. Ashtown Market features fresh produce, some of a more exotic nature, and Halal meats. If you haven't before shopped in such a market, it is a wonderful experience, and Ashtown African Market would be a great place to give it a try!
