Breakfast burrito
Brenda J.

Visiting Columbus... my home town and was downtown and searched on Yelp for a place for breakfast. This restaurant caught my eye. It is not directly downtown but close. It is a small place but inviting. I had breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, tater tots with salsa on the side. The burrito was presented beautifully, well seasoned and filling. I also had a delicious Latte with oatmilk. The café was bright and had a nice window view. This is on my list to return to try other menu items.

Smooth as Butta

Great food on our visit! We went on a Sunday while checking out German Village. We didn't know there was also seating in the back, which was perfect with our 3 kids. The girls who served us were really sweet, and the food came quickly. You can tell this is a loved shop in the neighborhood. We felt like we were locals, and a part of the community just eating food here. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a chill spot, great drinks and food, and to bring your kids.

Matcha and chai mix!

I'm obsessed with this business. I love it so much I went twice while in Columbus for two days. The other location (ambiance) is significantly nicer. All the food is in to go containers and the other location uses real plates/mugs... But the customer service here was on point! The breakfast burrito is worth every penny and kudos to the barista when I asked which is better matcha or chai latte? She said, let me make you my favorite drink, it's a mix of both. It was delicious.

Vibe is always a 10/10. Definitely worth the line/ wait for a good table outside on a nice day. The latte definitely could use less milk but was still good. Sandwich and tots were amazing as always. A columbus breakfast staple!

Banana Bread, Overnight Oats, Breakfast Burrito

Updated review... still fantastic on all three pillars of taste, vibes, and staff! Get. The. Burrito.

It's a really small spot next to Moses and next to Blackbird. 3 small two tops and 3 4 tops inside and a few outside patio spots. The staff taking the orders is warm and friendly. Ordered an overnight oats, smooth as butta oat milk latte, turmeric ginger tea, breakfast burrito with a side of tots ($5 add on) and a south high side salad with a fried egg ($2 add on) over hard. I wanted an avocado too, but it's $3 for probably a half of an avocado, more highway robbery. Seems insane to be paying $5 for tots and $2 for an egg. Inflation is high and prevalent here and rolling to the consumer. $61.29 for brunch. They are out of their chocolate chip cookies just after 11am. The smooth as butta oat milk latte is good, the tumeric ginger tea isn't too bad. The overnight oats with the chi and honey is pretty good. It's simple, but tasty. The south high side salad is so-so. The falafel is fresh, but extremely rock hard on the outside. The breakfast burrito was good, lots of eggs, tots, a bit of prosciutto, avocado and cheese. It was well stuffed and filling with the tots inside as well as on the sides. Cleaning discarded plates was quick. The service was good, although it's fast casual dining and minimal interaction.

Always a great meal here! When we drive from the DC area to Chicago we stop here for lunch and it never is a wrong choice. It was cold this time through so we ordered ahead and got it to go. Amazing as usual!

I love pickled anything and this had pickled onions and chorizo
Jen K.

Excellent experience at Emmett's! I've been wanting to try this place due to the wonderful reviews. It didn't disappoint! The breakfast burrito and homemade salsa was full of flavor and texture with fluffy eggs and crunchy tator tots. My friend ordered a sandwich and it looked incredible. She loved it. I want to return and try it as well. It had chorizo, a runny egg, pickled onions and arugula, I can't remember the name of it, sorry! Bright and airy space in German Village--found street parking in front of Local Cantina. Definitely a fan!

Do they have their own parking? If not, where do you park?

I parked on the street. I don't think they have a lot.

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.
