I've been around the block and have had a few sandwiches. Columbus itself has been really stepping up the sandwich game recently, but Goood Friends might be not just the best sandwich shop (if they don't mind me calling it that) in Columbus but the best in the whole country. If you are in town this is a must-go spot. Paired with a Jackie O's beer or even to-go their sandwiches are top-notch. For a surprisingly good sandwich that you may not normally order get the bologna sandwich. It's to die for!

This sandwich was so good and don't sleep on the homemade citrus aioli - outstanding. Our table also had the hens in a basket.

Despite my peanut allergy, we decided to have breakfast at Northstar Café during our visit to…read moreColumbus. We started with a Hot Apple Cider, topped with maple-infused whipped cream and cinnamon, along with a couple of hot coffees. The cider was warm, comforting, and full of cozy fall flavors. Unfortunately, the self-serve coffee station wasn't kept stocked, and after waiting quite a while for a refill, we eventually gave up. For breakfast, we ordered two Mushroom Frittatas, a Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, and a side of Housemade Breakfast Sausage. The Mushroom Frittata featured three hearth-baked eggs with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, and Gruyère cheese, served alongside breakfast potatoes and a peppery arugula salad. It was flavorful, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Although I informed the staff about my peanut allergy, I was surprised to find the crispy breakfast potatoes on my plate, which left me uncertain whether the allergy request had been fully communicated to the kitchen. The Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, served with strawberry preserves, was one of the highlights of the meal. It was flaky, buttery, and wonderfully moist, pairing perfectly with the sweet preserves. The Housemade Breakfast Sausage consisted of two peppery pork patties that were juicy and well-seasoned, making a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I wish the coffee station had been monitored more closely and that greater care had been taken regarding my food allergy, the Mushroom Frittata and fresh biscuit alone make Northstar Café worth returning to.
