I just keep coming back for the cauliflower Reuben. It really satisfies my sandwich needs. The simple salad that comes with it is so great too, love the gingery dressing. My nephew got the ham biscuit and loved it. Such a cute interior, love the baked good options and all the items for sale.

Delish place for breakfast!
Laura F.

If you are looking for breakfast.... Go here If you are looking for cute cafe that has that locally owned feeling and charm.... Go here. If you want the "perfect" cheddar biscuit... and its a star of many of their menu items- well, it can be found at DoughMama. If you want great service... Go here! If you haven't gotten in your car.... Why, not? We had the avocado biscuit sandwich and the Lox toast. Both out of this world. Cant wait to try more things. I was blown away by every single element of this place. Open til 3pm. Yummy! One of the best breakfasts Ive had in Cbus in 30 years. Thanks DoughMama. Note: the salad is served with a soy vinaigrette, for 2 bucks more you can get Cajun redskin potatoes.... If you dont like soy sauce (like me) --- get those. No thanks needed! So good!

Sweet corn quiche

Dough Mama is the best! When someone suggests brunch, it immediately comes to mind. They are famous for their pies but their breakfast and lunch menu should not be overlooked. My all-time favorite is the avocado biscuit with the side salad (you can even buy a jar of the amazing umami soy sauce-ish dressing to take home!). I also have enjoyed many a seasonal quiche. Unique to DM is a wall to the left when you walk in that has slips of pre-paid items you can tear off and present at the ordering counter. If you can't afford a meal or need a little pampering, this is a great opportunity to care for the Clintonville community. Cute gifts adorn their entrance area and the vibe is eclectic and homey.

Ham biscuit with Roasted Potatoes
Lexus F.

Wow!! I can't believe I hadn't tried dough mama sooner. The cheddar scallion biscuit was recommended to us by the employees so I went with the ham biscuit which includes a thick slice of ham, fried egg, micro greens, and an aioli! The biscuit is flavorful and soft on the inside but crispy on the outside. I also loved the roasted potatoes and their homemade ketchup. I also tried their seasonal cold brew latte, which was peppermint/candy cane! It was delightful! I hope to come back again and try their cereal milk latte and some of their pastries! The vibe is so cute and cozy as well! All the employees were so kind too!

I was glad to be able to make it over here for a quick breakfast takeout order. I love supporting small business, and they seem to be doing very well with a steady stream of customers. The cafe interior is really charming and thoughtfully decorated. You can tell they are heavily invested in the local community. The dining room area is small but very welcoming. I tried the quiche of the day and a maple cold brew latte. As seems to be a theme in my reviews these days...the prices were a bit shocking to me. A very small piece of quiche was $14. I guess this is the norm now, but my brain is having trouble adjusting. The quiche had good flavor, but was extremely salty. Oddly, the salad dressing was also very salty. It tasted like straight soy sauce (?). The coffee was the star of the show. Cold, creamy and not overly sweet. I loved the subtle maple flavor.

Great atmosphere, food and service. Best Cappuccino I have had since Italy. Breakfast sandwich was tasty and the bacon well done just as it should be. My husband loved the croissants.

Lox Toast
Ron F.

All I can say is yum. Amazing little bakery and cafe in the Clintonville neighborhood. Great service and freshly house made food. The lox on the lox sandwich was some of the best I have eaten. Stop in, you will not be disappointed.

Cutest little cafe in Clintonville with lots of indoor and outdoor seating available on a busy Saturday morning! The servers are always super friendly and helpful, they also have a pass it forward wall with free food and drink cards! Menu has lots of variety, my personal favorite is the quiche. Dessert display always looks mouthwatering and can't recommend the pies enough.

Such a cute cafe shop in the Clintonville area~ serves breakfast and lunch all day, everyday~ 1st time visiting, but definitely won't be the last~ Ham Biscuit: loved the biscuit texture~ Biscuit and Sausage Gravy: that gravy was heaven! So savory and flavorful~ S'mores Brew Latte: s'mores itself already made me happy, plus caffeine! Yes plz~ Lemon Lavender Chess Pie: all their bakeries are made from scratch, yum!

Bacon Egg and Cheese Bread Pudding
Oli G.

Everything tasted scratch made and you can tell effort has been put into their dishes that you wouldn't achieve had it been something out of the frozen food sections of Gordon Food Services, Sams Club, Costcos, ALDIs, Krogers, or SAV A Lot. I didn't eat inside yet those that did got me some bacon egg and cheese pie and some buckeye pie. Both tasted fine but the slices could've been bigger. Not Cheesecake Factory big but slightly bigger if you catch my drift. Those that ate inside ranted and raved about it but again I didn't which is why I give it 3 stars. It's tasty though kinda like a fox in the snow with less calories maybe. Give em a go.

Avocado biscuit
Melanie S.

Dough mama is probably my favorite weekend brunch spot. My friend and I were waiting in line on the morning that they re-opened the dining room. We were the only people waiting for a table that day, but dang it, I want credit! :) I love their avocado biscuit. Other than pastries, I can't think of anything else I have ordered, though the chicken biscuit looks intriguing. They actually offer several vegetarian breakfast options, which is pretty great. The biscuits are a good size and have a great garlic cheese flavor. it's loaded with avocado, tomato, greens, and a cooked to order egg. It comes with salad, but I've had their potatoes before and they were lovely. I'd probably recommend anything in the bakery case. The lemon lavender and honey apple pies are staples, and so good! Flaky crust, flavor fillings! They sold a Christmas cookie box this year that was pretty great. And my friend waits all year for the Matcha Grinch cookies at Christmas! I'm currently loving the Orange Ricotta muffin - it's dense, moist, and citrusy.

I got a cereal milk latte which was very good, and the biscuits and gravy are excellent! Good find and plenty of sitting space.

Is there any indoor seating? Came by today with three and only chairs on sidewalk, couldn't tell if seating was available.

Idk

Do you do egg-white patties, if customer doesn't want the yolk?

I'm sure they would. Very customer-friendly. I had them make a pie from my grandma's recipe and they were very fun to work with.

Picked up two breakfast sandwiches using online ordering. Delicious and made with real eggs…read morescrambled with cheese. I got a gluten free roll +$1 and it was pretty good. Very polite staff and looked like a nice spot to sit and enjoy a meal and drinks. Would return!

Located right on High St in the heart of the Short North, there is a very limited parking lot and…read moreon street parking. Head to the side door, as you will order first and then find a seat. This can be tricky because there seems to always be out the door, but most patrons understand the assignment and turnover goes quickly. I recommend searching the current menu online so you are ready as soon as you get to the register. This place appears to always be busy and bustling with people. We ordered the Country Scramble, Pancakes, and an Egg Sandwich. Drinks were hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and a Blackberry Fizz. All the food was delicious and are def the highlight. There is self serve coffee and soda(and water I believe although the person who got up to investigate for our table couldn't seem to find it). Honestly, the service is not my jam and why I dropped off a star. They seemed to be serving mimosas, wine, and Bloody Mary's in the line while you waited but the gal that was overseeing the area didn't really make eye contact so we didn't bother with that. Register was friendly and knowledgeable. But then the service gets tricky. There are no dedicated servers / bussers. Just people doing both. So many times you will find a group of people waiting for a table that needed to be cleared. We waited for the table to be cleared and no one was wiping the tables down, just removing dirty dishes. Our table was terribly sticky from the prior patrons but since you don't have a dedicated server, no one was coming back to take care of that. And lord help you if something wasn't right or you needed attention. We had no tableware or napkins and had to take them from another table. One of our meals took 10 more minutes than everyone else's so then our food was cold as we tried to be polite to the person who did not get food (but who do you inquire with?!). And if you wanted something else (another drink, or a pastry), you were going to have to wait in the line again. The food was good, but probably not a place I would return.
