Have been wanting to try this place for awhile after friends have given it great reviews. Finally got the chance today. The indoor seating is pretty limited to be prepared to wait or order food to-go. I was a little surprised when we got there to find their menu differed a bit from what was online- not sure if that's just a Sunday brunch thing or an everyday thing but they definitely had a limit selection today. They do have plenty of veggie and GF options which is always a plus. My brother ordered an avocado biscuit and I ordered their kitchen sink breakfast salad. Both of us really liked what we ordered but definitely could have eaten more. I'd come back to try some of their lunch options in the future! read more

The Ham Biscuit was good but I wasn't impressed by the pastries. I drove 2 hrs to try Dough Mama and got all the way there and felt it wasn't truly worth it. I sometimes come to Columbus to try out different food locations. I wanted to try them because their pies looked amazing on Instagram and Yelp, but sadly they aren't that good in my opinion. Their pastries are also expensive and the products aren't worth the price. I came with my 2 year-old daughter and I ordered the Ham Biscuit and I ordered her the French Toast. The Ham Biscuit consisted of Egg, greens, pickled onion, cheddar scallion biscuit, horseradish sauce and served with salad. This biscuit was actually very good and tender. You could tell it was homemade. The sandwich all together was a good sandwich with a good flavor. The French Toast wasn't anything special. It was two slices of thin bread, egg based and put on a griddle. The flavor was decent but I have had better French Toast. However, my daughter enjoyed it and didn't complain. The pastries I tried were a slice of the Honey Apple Pie and Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie. The Apple pie looked better than it tasted. To me the dough was a little soggy and the apples themself were slightly mushy and lacked in flavor. It didn't taste as good as I expected it to. The cookie was ok but it also wasn't anything special. It was a typical chocolate chip cookie cookie. Overall, I don't think Dough Mama was worth the 2 hr drive I made. read more

I just had the greatest cauliflower Reuben on the planet. Salad was very simple consisting of spring mix and a sour dressing, but the sandwich was 10/10. I was hoping to get some work done on my laptop but there is no internet, so I just enjoyed the good food. A great casual place to meet-up or do some reading with lots of natural light. read more

My sister is visiting Columbus and I knew I had to bring her to Dough Mama. It's a little bit pricey because everything is locally sourced and made with such care, so I don't usually come here often. I reserve it for special occasions, and it's soooooo worth it. My sister and I got the same thing: avocado biscuit and we added thick, juicy bacon. We split the banana biscuit and it was sweet and soft and everything banana pancakes should be. The biscuit comes with a salad or potato option and we chose potatoes. Everything was delicious and very filling. I couldn't finish it so I suggest coming with an empty stomach or a plan to take leftovers for later. The maple coffee cold was super yummy and not too sweet. I definitely recommend this little pie/biscuit place to anyone who's looking for a special experience. read more

Dough Mama - Banana pancakes - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Order at the counter and take a seat. Ok, that works I guess. Went for breakfast to scope out for a larger party. Food was good but I thought a little pricey for the portion size. Great homemade ketchup. Lukewarm coffee. Good for a lite breakfast or snack. Pastry looks good. Will have to try it again for that reason. read more

Initially came in for the French onion soup that was advertised outside, but found out they were out of it :( I went with the seasonal quiche that had beets and leeks and the side of potatoes. I ordered it to go, but ended up eating inside because by the time it was ready (almost 20 min later) I was ready to eat! The quiche wasn't as warm or flavorful as I was expecting- the beets don't seem to be seasoned before getting cooked into the quiche and the potatoes were HOT, fresh out of the oven so that probably made the quiche seem less warm. Overall, a decent breakfast/brunch spot, cute decor and friendly service. I will definitely be returning to try the baked goods and hopefully that soup one day! read more

Dough Mama - Seasonal Quiche and Roasted Potatoes - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

J went here with my mom. Trying to check out new places. It was a cool little café. The food was delicious. The salad dressing on my side salad that my avocado toast came with was a little bit or soy flavor than I'm used to, but it was delicious service was fast and friendly, and the seating area was very pleasant. read more

What a neat little place. Bright and clean inside with an open kitchen you can watch do their thing if you're interested. I had the seasonal quiche and breakfast potatoes. The $2 up charge for the potatoes was well worth it. The quiche was definitely made in house and very fresh. The staff are kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. read more

Best pizza ever the most yummy in town love them so much try their meat pizza and pasta

First thing I noticed was how quaint it was. Second was how pleasant all the employees were! I was purchasing breakfast for my family. I got the biscuit and mushroom gravy. We also got the biscuit by itself, s'mores brew latte, cereal milk cold brew latte, seasonal quiche. All was delicious! Those biscuits though....!!! read more

Dough Mama is a great place for breakfast. It has great local coffee. The granola is simple but it's better than anything you can get in a store. It's a small dining room so sometimes you will be crammed. There's a few vegan options like almond milk and granola. I have went by this a few times and have wanted to go in but couldn't. It's open for breakfast and lunch. The place specializes in cookies and pastries. It has good local coffee. There's non dairy options like almond milk. It's about $3 for a cup. The granola by itself is vegan. It's about $5 for a bowl. The granola is topped with fresh strawberries. It comes with the choice of milk. They also have a vegan cookie that's not pasty many of them. I like Dough Mama when needing a light nutritious breakfast. It's not too expensive for the quality. The coffee and granola is great with almond milk. read more

Dough Mama - House Granola With Almond Milk - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Stopped in on a rainy day for coffee and pie. Was very underwhelmed. No espresso yet had to wait for cold brew & a cold slice of pie. Place was not busy yet most of the tables needed to be wiped down. read more

The cafe Breakfast FOODs are FANTASTIC! Sadly this is where the joy ends. Their pies are another story. Needing pies for Thanksgiving, I bought slices to sample w my friends. (Ginger Cranberry Pear, Brown Butter Pumpkin, Pecan, & Apple). All slices had VERY TOUGH CRUSTS & were difficult to cut through. They didn't taste like butter to any of the 5 friends & myself that tried them either. Ginger Cranberry Pear had the best flavor, but the tough crust made it unpleasant. Brown Butter Pumpkin: pumpkin part was grainy, & lacked something, but not sure what, & left a strange aftertaste. Apple: Mushy, NO texture, not fun to eat - like apple sauce purée-like even though we could see sliced apples. Very confusing. Pecan: Tasted of burnt pecans, very little "gel" Pecan pie lovers crave. It had choc chips NOT a layer of chocolate on the bottom. Huge bummer, we really thought we'd LOVE them. Definitely come for a meal, but maybe think twice about the pie. read more

A quaint little spot in Clintonville, we hit this spot on a Sunday afternoon. Not really sure how we found this place but find it we did. The seating is a bit limited but by the time you order at the counter and get your food, a seat usually opens up. It was a bit pricey for the amount of food we got (over $50 for three people) and quite loud due to the small size of the seating area. But the food was solid, all locally sourced. The ham biscuit was great, the horseradish definitely makes the meal so apply it liberally. My son destroyed the French toast which is surprising since there wasn't any syrup, just a flavorful peach compote and some brown sugar. Biscuits are top notch and freshly made. The granola was delicious, my wife got without yogurt (?) so didn't get the full effect. read more

This is one of my absolute favorite breakfast spots. A very relaxed atmosphere, fast service, and consistently excellent food. You order at the counter, your food is brought to your table, and you bus your own table when you finish-- efficient and perfect for a quick morning bite. Their speciality is obviously dough, and they do it well. Their biscuits and quiches are amazing and their pies could make your grandma cry. We would order the entire menu every time if we could. Plenty of vegetarian options and vegan options, too! read more

What a cute little spot! I went with a group of six at 9:30 am on Sunday and we just beat the rush, snagging a bigger table in a cozy corner. I like the laid back atmosphere, it almost felt like sitting around someone's kitchen table. The décor is cute but very simple, and all the employees were courteous. I had the avocado biscuit which was completely delicious, especially the cheddar biscuit and pickled onions. I wanted to get a quiche but the current flavor didn't appeal to me, so hopefully the next time I go it will be something I'll can order. I'm giving four stars instead of five due to the tea selection. The cup I had was perfectly fine but it was just a Bigelow tea bag in hot water... usually these cute local places have loose leaf tea or at least a local brand, something a little more exciting than what they served in my college dining hall. That being said, I look forward to going back. It was a very peaceful place to have breakfast with friends. read more

The place is pretty small but it's cute and quaint. I believe it would be a nice place to come and sit and read or do work on your laptop. I've only been once and had the Avocado Biscuit. It was tasty, but I felt it could have used a bit more avocado. The biscuit was excellent though. I also ordered a Maple Cold Brew Latte (although I thought $4.5 was a bit pricey.) It was very good! I actually ordered a second one to go when I was leaving. I regretted getting the second one a bit because I was bouncing off the walls from all the sugar shortly after. I also wanted to mention the woman working the register and also brought our food out was extremely friendly. I wish I caught her name so I could mention it here. I will definitely go back and try more of the food. Really want to try some of the pies! I imagine I'll add more stars to my review when I can sample more of their offerings. read more

Dough Mama - Avocado Biscuit - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Good food (great biscuits), friendly staff and very idiosyncratic decor. So nice to find something that's a little different in a city where almost everything is cut from the same cloth. read more

Place was very cute inside, people working there were super friendly. Had fun coffee flavors (that weren't too sweet) and the biscuits were fantastic :-) read more

This is a quaint place on High Street. The girl on the counter was very nice. I ordered a scone which was wasn't big like others. It was 4.50 and the coffee was 3.00. I won't be back. It's just too expensive. I hope it works out for them. Just too costly for me. read more

Excellent place! The place is tiny but the food is magnificent. Make sure you arrive early because food runs out quickly.

Why oh WHY WHY WHYYYY don't I make a point to stop at Dough Mama more often? Like, every day. I now can say, without hesitation, that DM is a superb, quality breakfast and lunch spot that any, and EVERY, dang person should try out. Absolutely not one solitary excuse to avoid this quaint shop. End of excuses, diversions, and laziness. Get here. I've tried a few different slices of their homemade pies, and yes, they are outstanding. I thought I'd give their breakfast sandwiches a try this time. For $10 I went with the Avocado Biscuit entree: Egg, arugula, tomato, pickled onion, between a cheddar scallion biscuit; salad on the side. The biscuits are made fresh. Warm, soft. Wonderful cheese-and-onion mixup. Very fragrant AND flavorful! Their breads, as a whole, or out of this world! The pickled onions were a great component. The small side salad looked somewhat blah, when my entree was brought out. I figured it'd be an after-thought. I. Was. Wrong! They toss the fresh arugula mix in a lite soyish? concoction. It was wicked good! I'll be very tempted to get a few extra servings of that side next time I stop in. With some chicken added, it's in my top three favorite salads around town. If you haven't already stopped at Dough Mama's, you are missing out BIG TIME! A truly country-chic, old town square vibe. I've never been rushed, always received polite service, and the food is 100% down home cooking at its best! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and couldn't be happier that Grubhub was an option! The Avocado biscuit was uniquely delightful. The actual biscuit itself was the star of the sandwich. Definitely get the roasted potatoes! They were seasoned and crisped to perfection. That being said .... it was a little pricey for what we normally spend on breakfast but sometimes you gotta pay for quality read more

Food was delicious and the people were so kind and polite. Just walking into this place it smells amazing!

Food is fantastic, but you should know what you're getting into when you go. These are delicious sandwiches but might not be for the picky eater. The buns they use are the BEST I have tried in Central Ohio, and they constantly have new fun drinks to try. Closed January 2021- February 4th read more

This is one of those places that you should visit when you are in Columbus. If you live in Columbus and haven't eaten here yet, I highly recommend it. When you walk in the door you are greeted with the smells of delicious home cooking like that of an expert Grandmas kitchen. Wow I could eat seconds, but that would get a bit expensive. I have eaten here twice recently and both times I got the Grammies Sammie ( turkey meatloaf, cheddar, pickled onion, special sauce) I split my sandwich the first time, but the second time nope! It was so good I didn't want to share this time haha! For dessert: Salted butterscotch pie Special brownies Savory bread pudding. All the desserts we tried were divine and very delicious. read more

First time in Ohio and my friend brought us here. It was the first time she came to dough mama but really wanted to try it. Once you come in you order first then sit down at a table. It's a very cute mom&pop shop. The decorations are very cute and it feels homey. The person that takes your order was very nice, really everyone there was. My friend and I got the Avocado Biscuit with the salad it comes with. It was about $10 and it was definitely worth it. The biscuit is delicious, it melts right in your mouth and it's the right type of crunchy. The sandwich had egg, tomato, avocado, and the biscuit. We were obsessed with the biscuit. So glad to have been able to try Dough Mama! read more

I actually really like this place. You should go here for sure. My Biscuit BLT was absolutely incredible. My wife's Kitchen Sink Salad was "so tasty", but the portions weren't quite enough. Only complaint, I really dislike bussing my own table into a shared, germ-infested trough. The only thing that makes me more nauseous is the Bob Evan's buss carts. read more

Can't say enough about this place. After about 5 years of hearing about it and seeing posts on Facebook I decided to go find it. When I walked in the 1st thing I thought was omg how cute. The decor is very welcoming I think I saw bags that said butter babies and immediately wanted one. Ok. On to the food. I definitely don't have bakery vocabulary but the host was friendly and walked me through everything. I ended up trying the apple pie, a pumpkin scone (not a cookie like I thought it was lol) , bread pudding and the buckeye brownie. It was all amazing. Like theres no words. Everything was great. The pie was easily the best I've had, the brownie was moist and the peanut butter icing is outrageous. The bread pudding is unique, ive never had anything like it but it was delicious. And the the pumpkin scone was perfect (and I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin either). read more

Dough Mama is a solid brekkie lunch place with the hipster vibe. If you're looking for good biscuits and some buckwheat banana pancakes, this is a great place to stop. The pie crust is often a hair overdone and has thy acrid undertone- so for me the pies are a meh. But the bread pudding is also a solid choice. read more

Wow! The meatloaf sandwich is so full of flavor I couldn't put it down! Don't bother with anything else. Lol Actually the pie is good too. The decor is odd but that's not really a factor for me. The food seems a little expensive for what you get but overall it's a great place to grab a bite! read more

Ideally I would give 3.5 stars. I wanted to love this place for brunch especially since most other places I normally go to during the week for brunch close by 2 or 3pm. Sadly it was just very underwhelming. We had the stuffed French toast, the ham biscuit sandwich, scallion cheddar biscuit, apple pie and chocolate chip salted cookie. Fresh toast: my hubby somewhat enjoyed the odd combination of Nutella passion fruit curd and a cake or brownie crumble on top. I dislike fruit and chocolate so I was not a fan but regardless I just thought the flavors didn't mesh well. Hubby would have preferred less Nutella and curd and more bread. He also said it wouldn't be the first thing he would order. The sandwich I just wish would a have came out warmer. The biscuit had a good flavor and overall it was a decent sandwich. But I wasn't amazed by it. I love biscuits and have tried many, can't say it was in my top 5. The biscuit was crumbly and fell apart. Overall I felt it's was okay. It came with a side salad that seemed to have an Asian inspired dressing. Tasty but a bit salty and overwhelming for being paired with this sandwich. Cheddar biscuit : it was warm and tasty. Definitely tasted better warmed up. Apple pie: had good flavor , crust was tasty. I would have this again. The only thing that bothered me was that we paid in cash and I'm not sure if before touching my pie the cashiers hands were washed. Cookie : it reminded me of a chips ahoy flavor. It was once again okay. We did not enjoy the salt concentrated in the center of cookie The cookie was picked out with a napkin at least. Service: was good no complaints other than the questionable Apple pie incident. Overall: am I eager to return ? No, not at all. I definitely have had better. Would I give it a another chance? Perhaps but as a last resort. I just wasn't impressed. read more

Short North and Downtown Columbus get most of the attention when it comes to food, but this cozy little Clintonville gem is one of my favorite spots for some breakfast or lunch. Started primarily as a pie business, this indie shop expanded due to its wild popularity and now serves scrumptious cafe meals including breakfast sandwiches, French toast, soup, quiche and more. All ingredients are locally sourced and are health conscious. My go-to item is the avocado biscuit (avocado-head here) with the side salad, but the salmon lox and avocado toast is a close second. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their bakery items, especially their crowning glory: PIE. The chocolate chip banana bread is a moist and heavenly treat sent from above and the blood orange shaker pie...I have no words. Just get it, you will not be disappointed. The decorations are eclectic and trendy, yet homey. As are the staff. The place inspires you to invite others to impress them. It's a fairly small space; so keep this in mind, especially on weekends. read more

Dough Mama - Bakeries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I've stopped by dough mama twice this fall and both times my experience has been great! First time I checked it out since Quincy General Store (another great business) was doing a pop up. I grabbed a cold brew and few slices of pie to go and enjoyed both. Last week I had a small Friendsgiving with close friends and instead of a whole pie, I decided to go for slices of different pies they had. They have such a variety including brown butter pumpkin pie, bourbon pecan, cranberry ginger pear (?), apple, and my favorite-buckeye!! All the pies were delicious, but I just love the peanut butter and chocolate creaminess with the crunch from the peanuts they add on. Service at dough mama is great. They only allow a small amount of customers at a time to go inside, and the space is small. They are very friendly, and take the time to nicely pack your pastries for you. This is a great local shop known for their pies, but I look forward to trying their many other options as well! read more

Loved my experience at Dough Mama! The place is small, quaint, decorated, and super good vibes! The servers were all very nice and helpful too. I ordered the Quiche, which had an amazing crust. The eggs and beets in it were healthy and light but it was a little bland and could use more seasoning/flavor. Probably will order something else next time. The potatoes were rosemary heavy, which I absolutely loved! And the ketchup that came with it tasted homemade to me which was a nice change of pace. It was a little pricy for the amount of food you get. But Dough Mama has an atmosphere that can't be recreated, so it's also the experience. Overall I loved the vibes, the food was good for the most part, and it's perfect for that Sunday brunch date! read more
