    We had to give this place a try, as we were curious to see how they had transformed this old-school…read morebuilding into a restaurant. We absolutely loved the décor and, especially, how they preserved some of the original school elements, such as the lockers, giving the space a unique character and charm. I was also impressed by the thoughtful attention to accessibility, including automatic doors for the restrooms--an important detail that shows the facility was designed with everyone in mind. The service was excellent, with a very attentive and professional staff. But what impressed me the most was the menu: healthy choices presented with creativity, proving that eating well doesn't have to mean sacrificing flavor. My breakfast burrito was delicious, and the avocado touch was fantastic. The portion was a very decent size; I split it in half and saved the rest for my first plane meal. And yes... the burrito was officially TSA approved! Highly recommended!!!!!

I'd give it 4 stars because the avocado toast with egg was fresh and delicious, but the toast was a little chewy. The Maple Sea Salt Iced Latte was the star! The espresso, hint of maple and sea salt, plus that delicious cold foam on top really hit the spot. Such a cute breakfast and coffee spot - definitely worth a visit!

    My friend and I had such a relaxing brunch at Alchemy. We grabbed a table outside, opened the…read moreumbrella, and ended up sitting there talking for almost three hours. The atmosphere was so peaceful that we completely lost track of time. I ordered the Cowboy Burrito, and hours later I'm still full. It was hearty without feeling overly heavy. The eggs were fluffy, the potato latkes added a nice texture, and the zesty cashew sauce pulled all the flavors together. I also ordered the strawberry matcha and asked if they could add vanilla. They were happy to customize it, and it was absolutely worth it. The strawberry and vanilla combination made it smooth, sweet, and refreshing. Before I left, I grabbed an iced Banana Bread Latte with oat milk and asked for it without ice so I could enjoy it the next day. It genuinely tasted like banana bread in a cup--the banana and cinnamon flavors came through perfectly. Great food, creative drinks, friendly staff, and such a relaxing vibe. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy good conversation, and not feel rushed. I'll definitely be back.

    Absolutely fantastic food and service at Alchemy! So many great options for vegetarians and vegans,…read morewhile meat eaters can still feel like they didn't miss out on their protein. Every item on the menu was certainly written with intention - and it showed in how flavor packed our food was. I had ordered my salad without raisins, and when I received it and it had them, the kitchen was very accommodating in making me a new one. It came out even faster than the first time I had ordered. We went late afternoon on a Sunday, and did not have a long wait time to order or difficulty in finding seating. Peaceful indoor and outdoor seating offered (first come first served) with parking along Grandview Ave. I would definitely recommend this spot if you have any dietary restrictions, or are just looking for some truly creative food that will leave you feeling good after!

    Looking for a comfortable coffee shop near OSU where you can catch up with friends, study, or just…read morerelax for a while? Matar Coffee is definitely worth checking out. Located close to Ohio State's main campus, Matar Coffee has a very welcoming, bright, and relaxed atmosphere that makes it a great place to hang out or get some studying done. The menu has a nice variety of both hot and cold drinks, so there are plenty of options depending on what you're in the mood for. They also offer individual cakes, cheesecakes, and a variety of other desserts that pair perfectly with a coffee or specialty drink. I especially liked the atmosphere. It's bright, comfortable, and inviting without feeling overly busy. Whether you're meeting friends for a conversation, grabbing coffee and dessert, or looking for a place near OSU to sit down and study, Matar Coffee is a great spot to keep on your list.

The cafe was quite busy with a small crowd watching the World Cup. Still, there was a small section at the front of the cafe that was quiet and perfect to work. I tried the traditional Yemeni coffee since it was my first visit. The clerk recommended this as what they are known for. It did not disappoint! I like my coffee drinks a bit more on the bitter side so I will order it 1/2 sweet in the future. The cafe itself is beautiful, bright, clean and comfortable.

The service is excellent and I instantly feel welcome upon entry and all the way to exit. The coffee shop itself is personable and cozy with local art and goods for sale. So, as I said, best coffee shop in Columbus!!

    In reading a few other reviews, I noticed a couple of them that said (paraphrasing) "I wanted to…read morelike this place, but..." I feel the same way, but I honestly left with a poor experience. My wife and I stopped by so that she could try the signature Cafe Bombon. While there, we couldn't miss the variety of breakfast items and baked goods in the front room's cases. We ordered a tiramisu, tres leches cake, and a lemon white chocolate cookie to go. Unfortunately, the owner mistakenly gave us two tres leches with our cookie. We didn't notice this until getting home and starting to eat both of them. We called the store and explained the situation and were invited to bring our (partially eaten) order back in and retrieve the tiramisu that we never received. Upon returning, the owner had saved a tiramisu for us which was nice. She then asked us to give back one of our partially eaten tres leches cakes, which we thought was odd. We then watched her throw it directly in the garbage which seemed pointless to us instead of letting us keep it. Did she have a right to do that in order to make the exchange? Arguably yes. But did she miss an opportunity to extend goodwill, create a great service recovery and build some loyalty while correcting a mistake that was 100% her doing? Inarguably yes. Once we were finally able to try everything in its totality, the tres leches was okay and the tiramisu was slightly worse than that. Perhaps these are not the specialities for which Tertulia are known. The lemon white chocolate cookie was good, but the Cafe Bombon must be an acquired taste that my coffee aficionado spouse has not yet acquired because she did not have positive things to say. (Note, the beverage was consumed before discovering that we did not have the right food order). Ending where I started, I really wanted to like this place.
