All very fresh ingredients. The sandwich is large because the bagels are a good size. Chewy in the outside, soft inside. Having lived in NYC I wondered how the lox sandwich would be and it's not too bad. The lox was tender. I asked for chive cream cheese not knowing there was $1 up-charge for it. That was not obvious on the menu. I love capers on a lox sandwich and usually crave more but there were a few too many for me, making the sandwich a little salty. Easy enough to fix after the fact. I recommend The Lox and The Lox sandwich!

An adorable coffeeshop that was (quite clearly) built into what used to be someone's house. This…read moreold-home vibe comes with small rooms, small doorways, and lots of little nooks and crannies that would be perfect for working. Worth noting: this business has religious overtones to it with multiple Christian decor items around it. PROS: -Love the upstairs area. Upstairs, there were two separate rooms with good seating areas. Both offered enough privacy to feel like you were having a "private" conversation at the coffeehouse and you felt far enough away from the people on their laptops to feel like you weren't disturbing them with your conversations. -While some of the furniture "appears" older and classic, they have nice upgrades. A full-wood table, for example, had outlets built into the table for laptops. -Really friendly staff. We didn't know what to get, but they were really patient with us. -Decent parking around. This is in the busier area of Hilliard, but it's off the beaten path enough that there's decent parking within a one block radius. Lots of free parking options if you're willing to walk a couple blocks too. I didn't look for a dedicated parking lot. -Mini sizes of drinks. Coffee Connections seems to sell a "Mini", a "Small", and a "Large". The Mini appears to be about the size of a couple of espressos, and it's adorable. I could see that being a great size for kids who want to "have coffee like my parents" in a matching cup. -Delicious coffee. I know it's a coffeeshop, but sometimes the vibe is almost as important as the actual product. Coffee Connections has a lovely, small-business vibe but they also have the yummy, sippable coffee to match. Latte was served piping hot, and it was a pleasure to sit and chat while waiting for it to cool down to drink. -Cute outdoor area. A door right off the order counter takes you to their outdoor seating area. Coffee shops with outdoor seating are hard to find, and this one even has beautiful lights strung up for you late-night coffee drinkers. It honestly feels like it'd be a super-cute date night spot in the evenings. CONS: -Built into an older home, Coffee Connections has smaller hallways and older flooring. Nothing seemed dangerous uneven, but if you need lots of space and flat flooring to maneuver, this may not be a good fit.

The two employees can't even be bothered to acknowledge me. No greeting, no eye contact, nothing. The donut selection was a joke--about 90% of the shelves were empty, and not because they were busy. It took nearly five minutes for someone to finally say anything to me. When I politely said I needed a dozen, the employee grabbed a box and just stood there staring off into space like I didn't exist. After another couple minutes of that, I had to ask if he was ready. His response? A lazy, half-interested "yeah." If zero stars were an option, this place would earn it easily. If those were the owners, that's even worse--because this was an absolute failure of a customer experience. And to top it off, I tried to leave this review on Google, but reviews are turned off--which tells you everything you need to know. There's only one reason businesses do that. I won't be back, and I'll make sure others don't waste their time or money here either. I'm done spending money at places that clearly have no concept of basic service. This was just flat-out pathetic.

A very disappointing visit as we had heard good things. The selection of donuts was mostly picked…read moreover, we got a dozen. We each tasted a donut hole that was mediocre. The drink cooler was not very cold so drinks were not enjoyable. They told us they were out of French Toast after we ordered and paid. We switched to grilled cheese which they said was more expensive. When we got to our table we realized that the grilled cheese was $5.80 less than the French toast so after a little debate my wife went up to the counter and explained it and the guy offered her some of the last of the donuts, my wife said no thanks and the guy gave her a five dollar bill. The grilled cheese was not good. My breakfast sandwich was warm and not too bad. It had bacon with a maple taste. The biscuit was fresh but not sure it was made on site. The total bill for the sandwiches, no sides, and a dozen donuts was about $50, $45, counting the $5 back. It felt about $20 overpriced for what we got. The cashier was unfriendly and aloof from the beginning. Maybe he was having a bad day. We were the only customers at about 12:30 on a Saturday.

Well, I've been going to Einstein's two or three times a week for over a decade. It's the only…read moreeasily accessible place on the north side that you can get LOX n BAGELS WITH EZ AND AND EZ OUT. As far as service goes, the app makes it easy to order ahead and by the time you're driving over there, it's already waiting for you on the far left protected from thieves on a stack where you have to talk to an employee to grab your food so that some DoorDash person doesn't steal it, which we all know happen for a while at every restaurant in town. The ambience has gone from losing our tables to sit at with friends during Covid back to the normal Hangout, but they added a section for the mobile food pick up people to be able to come and grab the stuff and leave. No, or else gives you more bonuses and free coffee all month that I found as long as you order something during the month. Mondays, they have a bakers dozen for $10! Who does that? The brisket sandwich with the jalapeño cheddar bagel has become one of my go to when I don't get the LOX set up. So I would say the good the bad and the ugly look like this: THE GOOD: consistent. Cost-effective. Great deals. Right off 270/sawmill Road, and they even have a drive-through if you're super lazy and working on adding food to any trip you're about to take and don't want to get out of the car. THE BAD: if you're in love with the LOX or smoked salmon, and bagel set up, all of us that have been coming there for decades are pretty upset that you can't order it in the app to come, "open faced" with two separate bagels with a stack of food on it in the long rectangular box they still have, but you can only get access to it, "open faced" if you drive there. Walk inside. Stand in the line. Order it at the counter. Otherwise, if you order through the app, which is so much more convenient, they're gonna smash it together like a pile of slime and when you take a bite, it's gonna all smoosh out the side. LOX work like a hamburger guys! THE UGLY: I really can't think of anything ugly here. One time I was trying to take advantage of the Monday morning Baker's dozen with 13 bagels for only $10, I hit the wrong button and got the one with custom build which bagels you want inside instead of the auto assortment that's standard, so I didn't get to select the bagels but I did get two cream cheeses added and it was still only $15 on Monday so I don't think you could really complain about Einstein's other than saying the multiple locations they used to have in places like German Village in the base of the HUNTINGTON Bank on the Square downtown have disappeared and the only place that I'm aware of is SAWMILL Road/270 up in the northwest corner.
