    Cake Batter
    Tommy M.

    The place is clean and the samples are free. I got my favorite cake batter ice cream. But I got it from this location for the first time and the cake inside the ice cream was very dry. It was an odd texture going on. But the people working were very nice to me and my friends and they loved the ice cream they got. I'd come back, it's a nice stop to make in Bridge Park!

    10/10. Marshmallows are one of my favorite desserts, and these were amazing. The peanut butter cup was great too. Very cool decor and the staff was friendly.

    This is a great sweet spot. They have various chocolate covered items fudge ice cream to get your sweet tooth fix the place was clean. They have a large seating area inside and some outside. There's plenty of parking in the shared parking garage. I was able to have the turtle cheesecake, which was tasty and I highly recommend. The staff seemed a little bit tired, but maybe this is a popular store. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

    Ice cream looked MEH with mundane flavors you'd could get from ANYWHERE...gas stations included.

    I got some mint Oreo type cookie, a peanut butter cup, some type of specialized cookie, and a chocolate covered marshmallow with sprinkles on a stick. I just had the cookies and they were solid. They've got a ton of nut, caramel, fudge, candy apples, and ice creams I wasn't interested in but looked good for others. This place works for that area with an adjoining dining room if you'd like to eat your stuff there but nothing about this place was unique or like "oh my God I've got to go back." These types of places are a dime a dozen in the Greater Central Ohio area. Nevertheless if you're in the area and have a sweet tooth then check them out.

    What a cute little ice cream shop located in Bridge Park! Plenty of street and garage parking near by too. I was taken here for a birthday treat. The inside is very inviting and they sell other sweet treats such as chocolates, caramel apples, etc. I got the strawberry ice cream with waffle cone. Now I didn't pay, but I do remember it being pricey. You are getting quality ice cream though and I enjoyed my ice cream cone! I got one scoop and I needed help finishing it. They do let you sample their ice cream which is nice!

    What an incredible chocolate shop. This place reminds me of an old-fashioned candy store. At Kilwin's, you can buy chocolates, ice cream, handmade sweets and gift baskets. This place is not only beautifully decorated but you can also typically watch them while they are making the candies. As for parking, there is a huge parking garage just around the corner with free parking. I would gladly have given this place five stars if the sweets were priced a bit lower. I will say, every item I ate was incredible.

    This was a cute little shop and it smelled amazing. They had a nice variety of sweets and things. We bought a few Carmel apples and they sliced them up for us. The employees were super nice and helpful and everything looked so yummy!

    Great meals with philosophical friends (2 of 2)…read more Rarely am I in Midwestern capital cities with beltways around them, but I do have a few friends from years ago who do live in this city's suburbs. I once ate at their famed German restaurant with the lunch buffet and the extra cost cream puffs with an Italian-American friend who is sort of an Archie Bunker with an MBA. He provides the entertainment. The last time I ate lunch in C-bus with that good friend was before the pandemic. I believe that the lunch buffet has returned to that German restaurant, but I can wait to do that on some other trip. On this last go round, I met up for lunch with a different friend with whom you can discuss the human condition ad nauseam, which is somewhat of a good thing. It's a good thing because there aren't many people who are capable of doing that and who will engage in that. However, when you wrap up such involved discussions, you might feel a little overwhelmed for a while! I got to choose the restaurant ... from out of town. I didn't like the choices with which I was presented and the only area of town I really know is the Polaris area around Ikea. I looked up listings and recommendations. Chocolate Cafe' had two things under its belt from the get-go. It's a high scoring bistro-cafe that has a noteworthy breakfast and lunch following and it has the word "chocolate" in its name. It's in that area near the Barnes and Noble west of the big state university with its logo featuring a branch that looks like a marijuana leaf. I have since learned it's not a marijuana leaf. We ordered lunch, with one entree being a Cobb salad and the other being one of their club sandwiches, the latter of which was mine. It was very good and, as is often the case with me, I could have eaten a bigger sandwich. I went through it fairly quickly, even though I did have the small and cheap Swedish breakfast at Ikea that morning. With the entrees, we ordered bowls of their popular tomato basil soup, which really hit the spot on that cold day. To drink, we ordered house coffee and a hot chocolate. The house coffee is refillable while the hot chocolate is not, but that's standard protocol just about anywhere. With a name like Chocolate Cafe,' we did not order dessert. My friend left first and I stayed behind to look at the dessert case. I later caved in for a slice of their moist and rich chocolate fudge cake to take with me. Like I said, it was moist and rich ... and also very tasty and filling. The pricing here is standard and appropriate. The service was folksy and very attentive, despite their being full on a weekend approaching the holidays. The interior is bright because of the floor-to-ceiling windows around the perimeter of the restaurant. That really scores points with me. Lastly, upon pulling in, the parking lot was full and I had to park a short walk away, all the while paying attention to parking signs and rules. This implied that Chocolate Cafe' was most likely a good place ... and that was corroborated. I have never driven down I-71 into this city's center once past its beltway. I have doglegged and taken Highway 315 - the Olentangy River Parkway. At its top end, it winds a little and it's slightly scenic. As you start approaching OSU, all these different medical towers with different specialties loom over you ... from both sides of the road! It's similar to the feeling one gets when they drive past the Texas Medical Center south of downtown Houston, as in, "What a maze ... why so many damn medical buildings?" But that doesn't affect their rating. It's just a personal pet peeve. I'm going to go with 4.5 stars for Chocolate Cafe', which obviously rounds up to 5 stars. It makes for an interesting meal and experience and, while I would not repeat it like clockwork because of how rich it can be, I could definitely see repeating it if I lived in its general area. My friend said he would be coming back with family members. That said, you clearly see two seals of approval.

My absolute go-to is their chocolate espresso martini -- and it never disappoints. The chocolate-rimmed glass instantly sets it apart from anywhere else, and every sip is the perfect balance of rich chocolate and bold espresso. It's smooth, indulgent, and honestly feels like dessert in a glass. The price point is great too, which makes it even easier to treat yourself. I also love picking up a few of their smaller desserts like the buckeyes and chocolate peanut butter pretzels. They're decadent, satisfying, and made with love. Their cakes and other items are beautifully made as well. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which really adds to the overall experience. They also offer a variety of food entrées that I haven't tried yet, but every dish I see coming out to nearby tables looks fresh, beautifully plated, and incredibly tempting. It's definitely next on my list.

My standard for cupcakes are different than the general masses as I feel like the ENTIRE cupcake should be a complete entity taste wise and one component shouldn't outshine the other.
