But the owners of the cafe were so nice they quickly got me in a good mood. We ordered a breakfast bowl, avocado toast, scrambled eggs and a latte and a regular coffee. My husband enjoyed his breakfast bowl. My avocado toast was excellent. Scrambled egg was nicely cooked and it was affordable. The entire meal was maybe 18 bucks. Very affordable What is nice about this place is it really is community centric. Most everything they sell seems to be local or Ohio made. They open their space for book fairs, painting classes and I think live music if I remember correctly. I was impressed with just how nice the owners were and as I said I really liked my breakfast! Thanks Cardington Cafe!

Though the line was a little long and there was a crowd that already ordered waiting for drinks, we were in and out in about 10 minutes. The staff were friendly, the latte art is always appreciated, and the decor and availability of beverages other than coffee didn't go unnoticed. The only potential negative is that I heard it's a hike to get to the bathroom and it requires a super long metal stick key that you have to pick up from the front counter. Parking is along the street out front.

The place was buzzing -- vaulted ceilings plus a full house of caffeine-fueled chatter meant I got surround sound with my omelette. The sausage and cheese omelette was solid. The hashbrowns? Let's just say they were more "supporting actor" than "star of the show." And the toast... well, it came out as a slice. Singular. Like they were rationing carbs for the apocalypse. The coffee was great, though -- it's basically DIY, but I'll take any place that trusts me enough to handle the pot. All in all, a good stop if you want a quick bite, a strong cup of coffee, and the chance to test your hearing against acoustics that rival a cathedral.

A Slice of Simple Life at Pickwick Place - Bucyrus, Ohio…read more If you're road-tripping from Columbus to Lake Erie and craving a pause from the gas stations and fast food chains, make a detour to Pickwick Place in Bucyrus, Ohio. It's more than just a pit stop--it's a charming taste of Ohio's heartland, served up with a side of fresh jam and a blackberry lemonade slush. A Market Made for Food Lovers Pickwick's farmer's market is a celebration of all things local and delicious. Picture this: crates overflowing with vibrant, seasonal produce--ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, juicy peaches, and sweet corn picked that very morning. Alongside the produce, you'll find a bounty of locally made goods--jams and jellies in every flavor imaginable, homemade pickles, fresh-baked breads, and dressings that taste like something your grandma whipped up in her kitchen. And let's talk about the fry pies. If you know, you know. If you don't--these handheld pockets of flaky pastry filled with gooey fruit fillings are reason enough to turn off the highway. They're my personal favorite indulgence here. Good luck stopping at just one. The market also stocks frozen meats from a local butcher, so if you've got a cooler in the trunk, you can take a little taste of Pickwick home to your own grill. Handcrafted Charm in Every Corner Step into the second building and you're met with a world of homemade crafts and rustic decor. It's like walking into a Pinterest board come to life--wooden signs, hand-stitched items, seasonal decorations, and more. Whether you're looking for a cute centerpiece or just browsing for inspiration, you'll find something to warm your home and heart. A Garden of Sunshine Out by the greenhouse, nature puts on her Sunday best. When we visited, sunflowers, zinnias, and wildflowers painted the landscape in bold, beautiful color. And here's the best part--you can grab a jar and some cutters, stroll through the garden, and build your own bouquet of fresh-cut flowers. It's a peaceful, slow moment in the middle of your day--and it smells amazing, too. Sit. Sip. Savor. If you're feeling a little hungry (again), Pickwick's small café has you covered with sandwiches and comfort foods that are perfect for a quick but satisfying lunch. Pair your meal with one of their frozen slush drinks, like the tart and tangy apple cider or the refreshing blackberry lemonade--trust me, it hits the spot on a summer day. Whether you're stocking up on fresh goods, hunting for homemade treasures, or just craving a peaceful stroll through blooming flowers, Pickwick Place is a reminder to slow down and enjoy the simple things. So next time you're heading north to the lake, carve out a little time to pull off the road and experience this gem tucked away in Bucyrus. Take the Trip. Your next adventure is waiting--maybe with a fry pie in hand.

Speaking of the food: The breakfast biscuit made on the herbed biscuit is a MUST get. If you don't get one and someone in your party does.. you "will" have food envy. Not even joking. It is that good. We surprised our friends at a dog show down the road ag the richland county fair with breakfast sandwiches and baked goods from Nickel and Bean and they multiple times brought up how good the sammie was.
