The second you walk in, you can tell so much thought has gone into the space. It has such a good vibe, cozy, welcoming, and beautifully put together without feeling overly staged or generic. There's so much to look at. Every section has something different, from home decor and little accent pieces to unique finds that you don't typically see in the big box chain stores. It's the kind of place where you can walk in just to "look around" and somehow leave with a bag because you keep finding things you love. It makes me wish I had 4 different houses to decorate. Definitely worth stopping in even just to browse because the place is genuinely just IT

That day the owner, Andrea, had given out succulents to each customer and it was such a gracious idea plus got me back into trying out the house plant thing (proud to say I have now successfully kept a plant alive in my home lol)!

It's an amazing eclectic shop, & always an enriching/inspiring environment courtesy of Andrea!! If you're in the area, or looking to explore what Columbus has to offer, this shop is a MUST see! Also, doesn't hurt knowing that each purchase is supporting a LOCAL, MINORITY-OWNED, WOMAN-OWNED Business!!!

This places is located at 212 Kelton Ave in Columbus, OH at the Station at Trolley District. You can honestly find everything here from great beers, varied food choices, and shopping. I have came here for Creole2Geaux, Koso, The Railhouse, and the Bearded Baker (now in Bexley) and grab a plant at the Plant Gays. Love that this place has everything including parking. I had nothing but great food experiences here and the service is always great and the ambiance is relaxed. Take your time shopping and dining! 5 stars.

Let Jess Tell It…read more East Market | Franklin Park, Columbus Price per person: $15-30 Wait time for a table: No table service -- grab a seat wherever you can Noise level: Moderate to loud (it's a food hall, so expect a buzz) Seating options: Communal tables, bar seating, high-tops, outdoor patio Vegetarian options: Yes -- several stalls offer veggie choices Dietary restrictions: Vendor-dependent; some gluten-free options available Parking: Free lot + street parking (fills quickly on weekends or event days) Kid-friendly: Yes, but keep an eye on them -- very open and active Wheelchair accessible: Yes, wide walkways & accessible seating East Market stays booked and busy in the best way -- a true Columbus-style food hall where you can wander, browse, and let your appetite pick the direction. Even though I grabbed my actual meal next door at Local Cantina Trolley Barn, I still walked through to get the vibe, take in the energy, and check out who's serving what. Vendors you'll spot inside: * Creole 2 Geaux -- Cajun/Creole comfort dishes * Just Chicken -- crispy chicken sandwiches & tenders * Koso -- ramen, noodles, and rice bowls * The Pitt BBQ -- smoked meats and sides * Hisham's Bakery -- Middle Eastern pastries * Reverie -- cocktails & spirits * The Plant Gays, Poke Bowl, and dessert spots like The Cheesecake Girl (Perfect for groups that can't agree on anything.) Good-to-know for first-timers: * There's no single line -- each vendor has its own counter. * You'll order your food, grab your tray, and then find a seat anywhere in the building. * The bar inside stays active, especially evenings and weekends. * On busy nights, seats turn over fast but not instantly -- be ready to do a little "table scouting." * The building itself is renovated with a historic trolley barn feel -- lots of natural light and exposed brick. * Great place to bring out-of-towners: you can sample multiple Columbus spots without driving all over the city. Even without eating inside this time, it reminded me why East Market works: It solves the "What are we eating?" standoff better than almost anywhere else in the city. Save this if you want a go-to Columbus spot with options, drinks, and an easy setup for groups. Question for the community: What vendor are you loyal to in here? I'll try them on my next actual eating visit.

Awesome store with super unique items! Stopped in here on a Saturday and was surprised with how…read moremany items there were.

We walked there from a cafe so I can't speak on the parking, but if you see this shop and are thinking of going in you definitely should!

Holy. Cow. I…read morehappened to be searching the web for comic book shops and Big Fun came up in my search. As I was already on High Street, I decided to head further south and stop in. Big Fun is located in the Short North so parking is on the street - either in an open space or at a meter. I parked across the street and about half a block away. A beautiful day for a short stroll. This was my first visit (and first hearing of this place). I was compelled to go because a reviewer online has stated that this place, "looked like a comic shop threw up a toy store." How could I not make the trip??? Big Fun is a shotgun-shack type of building so it is not terribly large. That said, there is enough stuff jam-packed into this store that you could fill another store alongside. Maybe two. I have never, ever seen so much nostalgia/kitsch/collectibles/happiness in one spot. It truly was sensory overload. Every direction that I looked (with the exception of the tiny, narrow floor) had stuff displayed. Shelves, cases, racks, counters...you name it. There was even stuff hanging from the ceiling. Before you even enter the shop there is stuff to look at in the windows. A lot of stuff. But inside? Prepare to crane your head a full 360 degrees. That's up, down, and side to side. I visited here on a Wednesday near lunchtime and the place was hopping. Several families inside along with a staff of about 4 or 5. And me. It's narrow anyway but adding about 15-20 people in there really made for some juggling for space. To everyone's credit, we all behaved and played nicely and everyone got to see everything they wanted to. I cannot begin to accurately catalog all that was offered, but here is a tiny sampling of items to delight: action figures, models, bumper stickers, magnets, keychains, dolls, puzzles, games, novelties - retro stuff, too, like you would have seen in the back of comic books or the old Johnson Smith catalogs, Lego body parts, candy, toys...etc., etc., etc. Prices were extremely reasonable and covered the gamut from inexpensive to collectible. A price for everyone! This store is a visual carnival and the staff is fabulous. Chatty, friendly, very helpful. I absolutely must return to look again because I know that I did not see everything. It's like visiting the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. You have to go multiple times in order to see it all. This place is Big Fun, indeed.

The store is modest in size but perfectly stocked with a sturdy mix of everything. You're sure to find a unique classy gift, ironic yet poignant greeting card and maybe a little treat for yourself. The owner, I believe her name is Barbara, is warm, funny and full of great travel tips (and of upmost importance great food recommends). The quality is high and the prices are fair. From the exterior, you may be intimidated and assume it's snooty, but it ain't! The shopping experience was definitely entertaining and I could have of stayed for a while just to chat. If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely worth a stop in to support a thoughtful small business. My only regret is the shop dog, Clyde, was asleep and had zero interest in meeting me.
