I've enjoyed their other locations, and today I had a chance to get over here. The menu is almost the same, but they have a few different items. It's a freestanding building, remodeled from something else. I had assumed it would be tucked into one of the little strips in Bexley, but it's just east of the main retail area. Parking lot and street parking. Super friendly service, and fast; food was up in five minutes. I had figured it would be a better choice than fast food, which was my other option, and it was indeed better, and just as fast. I wasn't super hungry, so I got the purple latkes and the elote, two apps. The latkes were excellent. Crisp but soft inside, tasty. Served with sour cream and applesauce. Good applesauce, not just a little cup of Mott's. Sprinkled with scallions. The elote was good, not great. Corn is out of season, of course. The flavor was decent although the cheese and all the seasoning kind of slid off in my hands. A little messy. Again, to be expected. But I had hoped for a little more favor. They do have assorted hot sauces all around the dining area. I also had a Horchata, small but heavily spiced and flavorful. The main drawback is the price. Two fairly small apps and a drink, for $30. It's good stuff though, but it's not some place I can eat very often. But for breakfast or brunch, or occasional other stops, it is a good choice. read more

I lived in Columbus for years before relocating in 2016 and somehow never made it to Katalina's. Visiting for a wedding, my partner and I finally decided to give it a shot. I wish I could say it was worth the wait. We ordered the "award winning" breakfast tacos, the Nutella pancake balls with bacon, and two orange juices. The bill came to nearly $50 and then we were asked for a tip. That last part stung a little, considering the service model is essentially counter-order takeout style. A friendly staff member directed us to grab a menu, decide what we wanted, and then come tell her. We did sit down and have our food brought to us, but it still felt more like a fast-casual setup than one that warrants a tip prompt. The restaurant itself is pleasant, clean, open, and airy with a nice patio out front. No complaints there. The food, however, was underwhelming. The breakfast tacos, supposedly the star of the show, were bland across the board and fell apart almost immediately. Three small tacos for $20 is a tough sell when there's nothing memorable about them. The Nutella pancake balls were decent but forgettable. The real highlight? The bacon, but that's not exactly a high bar. As for the orange juice, it comes pre-made and refrigerated near the register, which felt a little out of place for a spot with this kind of reputation. I genuinely don't understand the hype around the food here. The price point would be justified if the flavors delivered, but they simply don't. The staff were kind and the space is lovely, I just can't recommend making a special trip for the menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Good food but everything seemed spicy on the menu. Besides the pancake balls which I had already tried before. The award-winning chorizo tacos were good but I'm not a big fan of getting chewy things in my meat. Next time I will opt for the veggie version. Casual atmosphere. read more

Well for my second trip here I had chick-wich sammie with my egg over easy. It was yummy and huge! I brought half home We also shared purple latkes. These were disappointing- They lacked flavor and were not crispy. The 2 toppings were yummy. Whipped cream and a jelly I had the blood orange juice, yummmm. read more

The restaurant is bright and cheery with a spacious outdoor patio. The food was good: Sister Sadie's Eggs&Tators, Hens-in-a-Basket w Sweet n Spicy Bacon. Yum!! I had a Horchata Cold Brew which I had seen on IG and thot i would try it. Was good cept a lil too much cinnamon. Our waitress was sooo nice and personable. Great place to visit!!!! read more

This was on my bucket list of places to try it was pretty good the bacon was great the orange juice seems fresh squeezed I'll def be back and I'll sit on the patio read more

I love this location. The ambience is perfect for a morning brunch with a friend. My go-to is the Ms. Katalina's Migas. This meal has so much flavor and the blue corn tortillas pair perfectly with it. The servers are always super helpful and kind. If you don't know what to get, they're all super knowledgeable to help. The maple cold brew is good, but a little bit too sweet for me. I usually just go for the hot black coffee and it's great! read more

I have been to the Katalina's in Clintonville numerous times before finally going to the one in Bexley. It did not disappoint especially for the Pancake Balls with Sweet & Spicy Bacon. The husband had the burrito and the wife did the Sammy with Avocado. I always get the pancake balls with the pumpkin and apple butter filled inside the ball. Same rules like other Katalina's, do not sit until you ordered your food. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I like the water dispenser with a choice of carbonated, chilled, plain water. I love the Mexican bottled Coca-Cola and Boylan's Diet Cola. Their food was delicious too. The location used to be a Boston Market. I will be going back to the Katalina's in Bexley again soon. read more

A bright and airy diner greeted our search for pancake balls. The rich treats were filled with a delicious dulce de leche filling and sweet and spicy bacon strips. The maple syrup on the side was the perfect companion. We also enjoyed a crispy chicken sandwich and the gigantic burrito. read more

Katalina's has been one of my favorite restaurants for awhile now for breakfast. I finally got to go to their third location. It is strongly encouraged to order your food prior to grabbing a seat. We arrived at noon on a Sunday morning and parking was totally fine due to the place next door being closed. I think it could get hard to park. I always get my favorite of their Award-Winning Breakfast Tacos. Three local Koki's white corn tortillas filled with North Market Spices-infused housemade chorizo, scrambled cage-free eggs, housemade tomatillo sauce, avocado, queso fresco, organic cilantro, local Snowville crema & fresh pico de gallo. Served with Elote Mexican Street Corn. You should definitely get their Original Pancake Balls for the table. The Nutella ones are AMAZING! You can choose your fillings of Nutella, Dulce de leche, or Katalina's Pumpkin-Apple Butter. I don't know if I would get this for a full meal but something for everyone. This restaurant is bigger than their others. It is a little different that at the other locations, there are drawings everywhere and it's encouraged to sign your name. I would definitely give this restaurant a try if you're looking for a quick breakfast. It is a tad pricey but in my opinion, worth it. read more

Served with Katalina's original thick-cut Sweet 'N' Spicy bacon or Beeler's bacon and local maple syrup. Classic "Hens-in-a-Basket" Two eggs inside two slices of toasted sourdough, plus Katalina's original thick-cut Sweet 'N' Spicy bacon or Beeler's bacon and Katalina's Purple Craze Hash. @katalinascafe read more

All my posts are epically long with little to no acknowledgement so I'll keep this one short and sweet: Don't go here but RUN HERE! Everything was FABULOUS! You could see and taste everything was scratch made. It's not like they bought their stuff from Sam's Club Costcos, GFS, or the frozen food section of Krogers, they put hard work and effort in EVERY MORSEL and it shows! Great drinks and customer service as well. 6 Stars if I could've given them read more

The venue is very small and quite busy... I had very friendly service at the ordering counter. They were very knowledgeable and helpful with questions on the menu. I got my food to go because it was very hard to find seating. I think my food was pretty good, however extremely overpriced. I don't foresee me going back (intentionally) anytime soon. read more

First, the counter service was great: very friendly, offering helpful suggestions and explanations about the menu, and overall felt very welcoming. The prices are quite high, especially considering the size of the dishes. It took a surprisingly long time for our food to come out, even though the order was simple (avocado toast and a chicken sandwich), and the server did apologize for the wait. The sandwich was tasty; we didn't care for the potato side (lukewarm, not a lot of flavor). The avocado toast was good. Cute, clean decor with original art work in and outside. Seating is somewhat limited, and you must order before sitting, so that can be a mirror stressful (they have a nice outdoor patio, so warm weather months might be a better time to check this out). read more

Waited over an hour and 20 minutes for our food to arrive at our table. 3/4 of us had the same meal so it was not a complex order. Several families received food before us. Associate gave us chips for free after we hit the hour mark. We were also given 2 $10 gift cards for the four of us to split. Would've preferred a full refund considering none of us live here and will not be returning. read more

Very clean and busy restaurant. We grabbed the menu and ordered our food. Everything we came out reasonably quick and correct. The bathroom signs were confusing but quirky. I thought it was cute. Our food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. A little pricy, but it was very nice place to eat once in a while. read more

Just stumbled upon this place and so glad I did!!! Amazingly yummy food! Good ambiance. It's a very laid back place. You order at the counter before you sit down and they bring it to you. I will definitely be back!! Sooooo delicious!! read more

Renee was the sweetest and most professional server we have had in a long time! She suggested the breakfast tacos with the house made chorizo that was amazing! My husband had the pork and egg that he said was the best sandwich he had ever had! The atmosphere is very cute and welcoming. We will be back again and again! We highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Definitely overpriced and overhyped for counter service and open seating ! We ended up having to wait for a table after ordering. $ 16.25 for 6 pancake balls and $4.50 ( price unlisted) for a regular cup of coffee. We ended up spending $50 plus with tips for two people. It wouldn't have been so bad if the food was good . The food was inedible! The pancake balls were doughy and the pumpkin filling was very tart and the veg sausages were bland . It was so unappetizing that we couldn't even choke down the overpriced breakfast . On top of that, one of the staff were having an argument with one of the customers while we were eating ! We won't be back! read more

Pancake balls are still out of this world yummy! We had the ones with dulce du leches inside. Also tried Mrs. Katalina's Migas, which was awesome. Large portions; I ate the rest of my lunch for dinner later. read more

Waited over an hour for food and the servers did not comp our meals, just offered to give up free drinks from the ice machine and tortilla chips...not impressed read more

The food was very mediocre. I believe that the other locations are amazing but this one has been very normal. I feel that the cooks are simply following the recipes from the other restaurants. The bacon is very flimsy and wet. And the food is just more bland than the other restaurants. I was very excited when I heard that a Katalinas was being opened in Bexley. But now that I have eaten there 3 times and each time, I've gone back hoping that it's better. Unfortunately, it hasn't changed anything and remained the same bland flavor. I hope that if Katalinas opens more locations, they don't keep getting worse. I'm just going to eat at the original one. read more

Unique menu. Pancake balls are very good. You have to order at counter then find a seat. Not a typical sit down restaurant. But the pod was good. read more

Food was so expensive. For 2 people to eat it was over $65.0. Food came out dry and cold. Almost all of it thrown away. We will never go back. Strongly advise you to go somewhere else. read more

Food is ok, tiny portion sizes and unnecessarily expensive. If you're looking to feel full after a meal this is not the place to go.

I expected across-the-board greatness based on the original Katalina's but - - - the latkes were soggy and gross, the freshly-squeezed orange juice was bitter, and the customer service was a little indifferent. On the bright side, the pulled pork tacos were okay, the street corn that was served with the tacos was great, and the apple butter that was served with the latkes was really good. The new location may just be working through some growing pains, so I'll be back, hoping for better things. read more

Can't really rate the service because there isn't any any. Prices are quite high. French toast was cold and undercooked as was the bacon. read more

Went hoping to be wowed! I was not. Our party ordered the pancake balls Dulce de Leche and Nutella, they came with a side of delicious bacon done just right. The pancake balls were tasty but lightly stuffed and very cold. The pulled pork tacos were reported to be fine but nothing unusual. Most disappointing were the latkes. They were soggy and stone cold- very un-latke like. The order taker marked the order as "to go" when we specified "eat in" which probably explained why things were cold. This mistake was theirs. Prices are quite steep. Since they just opened 4 days ago, I will give them another try probably but we were very disappointed. read more

Good food, nice people. Bit pricey overall but enjoy coming when I can! The orange juice is delicious and breakfast tacos are a go-to.

Food was amazing. Had their version of pork Bbq. Just right amount of spice. Service was very friendly. You order at the counter and they bring your food. Only negative is the did not take cash ..credit/debit card only read more

I found the menu too expensive. You have to place your order at the front register (no table service) and they only take credit card. No pricing on drinks... surprised at a $4.50 cold black tea that I got (8-10oz). The pancake balls are pretty hollow and not a whole lot of filling. Again, too expensive, $16.25 for 6 balls. I asked for butter instead of maple syrup for my 2 slices of brioche French toast ($12); this was the Kids (Only) option, however, the employee taking my order said it was ok to order the kids portion. The butter came ice cold in a plastic souffle cup (I could see that the butter had been portioned out from a larger stick of butter) so I asked the same girl at the register if she could soften it so that I could spread on the French toast without tearing it up. After 5 minutes, the employee brought it out where I spread/poured the softened butter on the toast. To my disappointment, the butter had a garlic taste! I don't know if it was a compound butter, or they grabbed a knife that was previously used to cut garlic. My French toast was awful tasting and I couldn't finish after eating a few bites. I probably will not go back. Over hyped. I had been at the Harrison West location many years ago and pricing was more resonable. I guess they had to increase menu pricing due to the expansion of the business. Note: The dinning area at the Bexley location reminded me of Piada, but with backless aluminum stools. There is bench seating on the side. Staff was nice. read more

ridiculous the prices are way too high and the food is hit or miss certainly not the lace for a daily nice breakfast no getting out of here for 25 dollars and that's for a mediocre breakfast read more
