Local coffee shop! Great atmosphere with various seating areas. Parking lot can get filled up during busy times. Best frozen hot chocolate and they will even put sprinkles on it for the kids. They do have some sandwiches, desserts and bagels but I have not tried them. Even when the line is longer it still moves pretty quick!

Flavored milk

About the worst coffee place I've ever been to. Looked super cute and cozy so I had high hopes boy was I wrong. My husband and I both ordered a latte and the lady put it down saying what it was and that it was mine and I was like surely not, that can't be mine. Sadly it was. If you like milk with a teaspoon of espresso you're at the right place. My husband's came out looking like they mixed his caramel syrup with just the milk and served it. Sure enough it tasted like it. I asked can I get some more espresso with this because this is just straight milk and the girl looked so confused, went to the back and asked what should I do? Like what?? Put more espresso in it to make it a latte not a milk with flavor. Then I also ordered a breakfast sandwich that I was hoping would make up for it. WRONG. The egg tasted like plastic I had my husband try it and he usually eats anything, he couldn't even stomach it. Such a disappointment and waste of money. They're so expensive so you expect good quality product. Nope. If you want to waste your money on flavored milk and plastic food you are in the right place.

Just what I was looking for on my drive through Johnstown to Gambier! Cute shop situated on the main thoroughfare. Wheelchair accessible main entrance around back. Order at the counter, then various seating areas are available in rooms of the house-converted-to-shop setting. Service was fast, price point was good, coffee cake and chai were very tasty!

Latte With Coconut

Hot Spot is a surprise in Johnstown. I thought you could only get coffee here at McDonald's. Thankfully you can get something that doesn't taste like hot water. Prices are good. Service is pleasant. I had a latte with coconut milk. It's about $3.50 for a medium. The latte was really creamy and smooth. It's usually pretty quiet inside. There's not many people like there are in Columbus, so you can enjoy it more without s bunch of people working on their laptops. It overall is pretty good. It closes earlier than coffee shops in the big city. This is expected since there's not much reason to be around there.

This is the sign out front, parking is out in the back.

Cute shop with a good amount of space to set up for studying! Baristas we're very helpful in answering questions. I tried a smoothie but was not impressed with how sweet it was and how fast it melted. So I won't be trying that again. But I was able to study for about an hour before close and liked the ambience. (It was not super quiet since there were a lot of school grade kids in after they got out of school.)

Hot Spot has seen many improvements since the new owner took over. The staff is super friendly and it's always a good time.

I would highly recommend ordering from this licensed at-home bakery in New Albany. Pick up…read moreavailable near the area or delivery possible for a minimum purchase. Fun new items in store, so be sure to check out her page! This bakery uses only natural, organic, and local ingredients. All goodies have an added Indian flair/ingredient influences too, so you are in for a real treat! In February, I enjoyed Cupnest's brookies (cookie brownies) after winning an IG giveaway. And they were all amazing! When tea biscuits were posted a few days ago, I knew I needed to order some. I ordered a 1/4 pound of cardamom flavored tea biscuits that have almonds and pistachios on top and 1/4 pound of the almond pistachio rose flavored tea biscuits. Both are wonderfully buttery and packed full of flavor! The cardamom ones are nutty, slightly sweet, and floral -- cardamom is such an interesting spice... it gives these biscuit unique notes and a nice complexity of flavor. The pistachio rose has such depth in flavors - I just love it! Seemed to have a hint of citrus flavor (perhaps from the rose) and had a wonderful crunch to it... chocked full of pistachios too! I will definitely be ordering more again soon! I was surprised to receive two bonus cupcakes as well (thanks again, Cupnest)! Almond cupcakes with mango cream cheese filling topped with mango buttercream and crusted pistachios. Wow!! I have never had the pleasure of having mango buttercream before and now I'm hooked. What a refreshingly delicious cupcake!! Will definitely be ordering some of these in the future too.

Great cupcakes and value. I bought these for my wife's birthday celebration and they were a huge…read morehit. All natural and you can taste it....especially compared to most cupcakes with artificial ingredients. Cookies and Cream are amazing! Highly recommend getting these for your next cupcake foray.

We got here on a Saturday morning just after they opened so we thought. They had actually opened 30…read moreminutes earlier than we expected. When you walk in you pull a number and wait for it to be called. Almost felt like I had walked into the DMV. lol We peeked at the display counters while we waited and tried to have our orders ready when it was our turn to expedite the wait for those after us. There were a few shelves that displayed various cookies, breads and things you could grab and go. The place was clean and the process was orderly. They seemed to keep things in the front stocked. We probably waited about 15 minutes. I pulled number 90 and the were calling the last of the 60's. We ordered several items to try including the packzis with three different fillings since we went at the right time of year for these. We grabbed a cheese, strawberry and lemon. We also chose a cheese danish, maple cream stick, apple fritter, cherry turnover and a donut stick. Once we told them what we wanted the girl helping us went to the back and started filling our box. A few moments later she returned, we paid and headed out the door with our sweets. My husband didn't want to wait so we opened up the box once we got to the car and each took one bite from each of our selections. We didn't find anything wrong with our choices. The one thing I was thrown off by is how they make their apple fritters. I almost missed ordering one bc they look nothing like the apple fritters I'm used to eating. It was just ok in my book. Not something I would get again. The donut stick on the other hand is something I wouldn't miss next time. In fact I'd be getting more than one. It was probably my favorite item of all we selected. The cream stick dough was soft. The cream wasn't too sweet. The only thing I would have changed was to have the maple icing be a bit more maple flavored. The turnover was nice and crispy flakey but the filling was just ok. Maybe a different flavor next time if I would get one. How can you go wrong with a cheese danish? Warm this slightly and you're hitting a home run. This was a nice stop and we learned the difference between what we liked and loved. We know just what to get next time. I will say they have a great social media presence and do a phenomenal job interacting with their customers and community.

It was a pleasure to see Resch's Bakery open in Gahanna. As a family new to Ohio in 2013, we heard…read moregood things about Resch's and we have long been supporters in past communities of family owned bakeries. We enjoy their products and welcome Resch's to Gahanna. We are highly confident Resch's would be even more successful if they took two actions: 1. Open for business at least by 7:00 a.m. 2. Offer the option of traditional no-filling Chocolate and Vanilla frosted Long John donuts. -- market data supports this and shows .... Based on: * Sampling of 100+ independent bakery hours across U.S. cities * Regional bakery association listings * Yelp/Google Business hour patterns * Known bakery business models A realistic, data‑grounded estimate is: Only about 10-15% of neighborhood bakeries open at 8:00 a.m. or later. Further market data shows... Bakeries that offer only filled Long Johns are extremely uncommon. Why unfilled Long Johns almost always remain on the menu * They serve the "less sweet" customer segment. * They pair well with coffee (important for morning sales). * They are cheaper to produce and have fewer failure points. * They are the "default bar donut" in many regions. Even bakeries that push filled varieties keep unfilled bars because they sell steadily and require no additional labor. --- Bottom-line conclusion Bakeries that offer only filled Long Johns are very rare -- probably under 5% of all bakeries. The overwhelming majority offer both, with filled varieties outnumbering unfilled but not replacing them.

Let's just say my husband was not looking forward to anything but the cake at our wedding! He literally told everyone I have to have my slice of cake because it's like a slice of heaven. So being the good wife, I let him have his slice of cake. He feel in love with Le Gateau at my brother's wedding and said we must use them at our wedding. I will have no other vendor but them. I was like okay, let's just contact the baker and make sure we can get an appointment. We got the appointment and looked at all her amazing work. Let me tell you I saw some of the most extraordinary designs for cakes here! Our cake was designed after my wedding dress. It's was beautiful and a three tiered cake. Not enough people ate it but that's okay because of course my husband wanted more and when his mom told him she had a whole plate of our wedding cake saved he was ecstatic about it! I couldn't believe it because I'm used to hearing you just have the top part which of course you save for your one year anniversary. We had that too! Let's say my husband is waiting patiently until July so that he can break into that cake very fast. I highly recommend Le Gateau you cannot go wrong with their buttercream or fondant cakes! Ours was the buttercream and it was that fresh raspberry filling that just made the cake so great!
