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!!!!!

Stopped by Emmett's Cafe for a quick breakfast and loved it! From the outside, it has that charming…read moreclassic brick look, and inside, the aesthetic is just as cute and cozy. 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!

**5 stars for the milk bread**…read more FUN FACT -- Tous Les Jous is owned by a South Korean food conglomerate group (same concept as Paris Baguette) and this is a bakery with Asian and European baked goods. I visited Tous Les Jours for the first time on Memorial Day (May 2026) at the Columbus location. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Monday. Surprisingly, they had lots of options available even with my late arrival because most bakeries run out of items quickly. They sell croissants, cakes, milk breads, macarons, drinks, etc. MY ORDER ($18.95 total for 4 items) -- Twist Donut ($2.95), Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50), Almond Croissant ($4.75), and a Whole Milk Loaf bread ($6.75). 1. Twist donut ($2.95) - sweet but not overly sweet. It tasted just like a regular twist donut that you'll find at other donut shops. 2. Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50) - good. Perfect savory option for breakfast or lunch. Soft and buttery bread base. I think $3 would have been a better price but the bread roll was good. I ate this in my car before driving back to Cleveland. It held me over until I got home. 3. Almond Croissant ($4.75) - my favourite item - buttery with some almond cream or paste inside. Topped with almonds. I don't like creamy things at all and I didn't realize that this croissant had a cream inside until I opened it but the cream is very light and it is more of a spread than a cream. 4. Whole Milk Loaf Bread ($6.75) - Fresh and soft. Definitely my other favourite item. This was all gone within a day, that's how good it was. Buttery goodness. The best bread. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Tous Les Jours and I hope to visit their Cleveland location soon. I ordered takeout so I didn't sit in but they have some tables and chairs available. I'll definitely be back if I'm close by the area again. Tous Les Jours means everyday in French and I wish I could visit them everyday...haha. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 101/250 total reviews in 2026 - 942 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

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 match was delicious; rich and creamy and not grassy-tasting like some matchas. The iced coffee was perfectly balanced. Service was awesome, the vibe of the place was cool, deliberate, and precise. Note: this isn't a hangout space. There is literally room for you to get your drink and get out. They have some small cafe tables on the sidewalk but don't plan to spend the day

Personally, my main reason for returning is their Asiago bagel; it's the best I've had! During my first visit I found the service to fall a bit flat with the cashier seeming a bit annoyed but I decided to give them another go and I'm glad I did. My second visit was much better and the staff seemed happy to serve customers. Seating is a bit limited indoors but they have a closed off outdoor seating area that I believe is heated. There are a decent amount of outlets and extension cords around so it's a good place to study. They also have a few board games at the front you can borrow to play with your friends. Whether for a study date, grabbing a cup with a friend, or looking for a cozy vibe global gallery is a great spot!

Their seasonal drinks are pretty neat; that's what actually caught my eye when searching for local cafes. My fiancé is an espresso lover, so we had to go once I told him about the Black Widow shaken espresso. I ordered an iced matcha latte. Because I opted for the iced version, it had to be a 16oz size. Not a bad thing, but keep that in mind if you want a smaller option. The cafe was pretty busy when we went, hi but it took maybe 5-10 minutes to get our drinks. I really enjoyed mine! Sometimes I want a simple, plain matcha and it was just that - in a good way. Lol. Not overly sweet. The outside seating area is nice, especially on Saturdays when you can enjoy your drinks while the farmers market takes place. I had no idea they had a dedicated space for singers to perform. I imagine it gets quite busy in the summer evenings! Prices were fair and I'd return to try out their food items.

It's kinda hard to find the entrance since it's not well labeled. I had parked on the street on…read moreNorwich and couldn't figure out how to get in through the parking garage. I found someone else who was also lost trying to find the entrance. All the doors in the garage were locked. Turns out It's labeled Rambler since that's the name of the apartment complex. The best way to enter is from High street. No signage saying it's daydreamer coffee whatsoever. The interiors are beautiful. Really high ceilings, and lots of seating upstairs and downstairs. I tried the honey oatmilk latte. Just okay. Not much of a flavor of the espresso, mostly could only taste the honey and the milk. I did walk around the space a bit. Mostly students on their laptops. It's much easier to come here if you live in the area and can walk.

The parking situation made it almost not even worth the trip. Not only is the building poorly labeled, but parking is expensive and there isn't much of it. Also, the door from the parking garage to the cafe is locked, so you have to walk all the way around to get there. That alone will cause me to not return. It would be a great place for students that walk there, but unfortunately I am not in that demographic. Their hours also aren't the best, 9am is when a lot of people are already at work, how are we supposed to come get a latte?

We order their coffee online, and we don't go to their coffeehouse(s). Their coffee selections are…read morevery good, particularly their single-origin coffees, which are what we get. The website is slightly puzzling, but you can figure it out. I have confidence in your ability. The coffee is roasted pretty expertly, imho. We can taste the difference between different origins, something I can't say about everyone's beans. Their prices are average, a good value considering that shipping is free on orders over $55 or so: three one-pound bags meets this criterion. And shipping is reasonably fast. We live too far for bicycle delivery, so ours comes by USPS in a few days. Only thing that bums me out is the decorated fancy fiberboard box that contains a stay-fresh bag of the coffee. Seems non-green and wasteful of their profits. Yeah, it looks great. But seems like they could just put a sticker with their logo on the plastic bag, at least for mailed orders. Or at least for mine. Whatever. Try this.

They're very open to and welcoming to feedback, with us being regulars they check in on us quite often about the quality of the tea, the straws, and everything to ensure we continue coming back.

Upon entering, it seemed like it had potential as it looked pretty cozy. The barista was nice and our drink came out quickly since we were the only ones there. The biggest issue I had with this cafe was the seating and cleanliness. When looking for a spot to settle down my things I found that there was a lack of outlets in all the spots I was looking. I went over to the other side by the window and the table was filthy so I chose not to sit there. It must have been left over from the night before as we arrived shortly after they opened. Upon further inspection, there were stains on the seats, peeling paint, cobwebs, and crumbs. The place is cute when you get a first glance but if you look closer it's not very clean. I would not come back.

I added bacon and it left the perfect pairing of perfectly cooked egg, chives, cheese, and thicker sliced bacon chunks. I also ordered the strawberry matcha latte, and the chocolate fudge cookie to go. The service is fantastic. They have outdoor, indoor, and some community style bar seating. You order at the counter and then a staff person will bring your food to the table. There are soda and water machines available for self refills. Everything was delightful and made for a nice treat yo' self brunch.

I use vibe intentionally here as it seems like the kind of word this place requires. All the servers wear black t-shirts, which is, you know, a vibe. But you are not here for vibe recommendations, you want to know about the food. Sure, but one more thing, this place can be busy, but it also has some gigantic tables inside and out so if you have a larger party, it might be a good choice for you. Typically if you have a smaller party you will end up at the opposite end of one of these tables from some other people vibing along with you. Chill, it's fine. Food. Yes the reason you are reading this. I'm almost there. However, I would be remiss not to mention that you order at the counter when you come in. The menu is simple, but if you have anxiety about deciding you might check out the menu online before coming. Alright, the food. So I have eaten here dozens of times over the last seven years and never had anything bad. I have sampled across the menu and salads to burgers, it is solid and in some cases great. The food is fresh and hand made to satisfy. Tonight I had the veggie enchiladas and they were top notch. Another favorite of mine is the Buddha Bowl, but you also can't miss with a burger which tends to get messy. They have a soda (pop) machine that is self-serve and features regular cola and root beer alongside a cream soda and birch beer. The vibe at the soda fountain is decidedly bubbly. Alternatively, they have a small but well-curated offering of beer and wine. The best thing? Once you have eaten this real food meal and feel chill AF you can step next door to Jeni's and get some ice cream. There is no vibe quite like that.
