    3 course combo
    Mary D.

    Such a fun & delightful option for a midday meal! Tried the 3 course combo-French onion soup ( do not miss the fresh cheese & huge croutons), Caesar salad & turkey sandwich. All were fresh & delicious. Hard to walk past the dessert case on the way out so picked up strawberry fruit tarts as well. Cafeteria style pick up & then tables are in 3 rooms- the rear small room has a fireplace to enjoy as well. Check it out! Great option!!!

    Croissants and coffes

    For me, Le Chat always delivers as a breakfast or lunch option. Unpopular opinion in my friend group, but I'm not a "full plate" breakfast eater. I prefer a coffee and a carbohydrate source. So I love the cafe au lait and a croissant from here. Since it's a European bakery, the pastries run a little less sweet than at an American style bakery. I like this, but FYI. My most recent visit, we just did coffees and croissants as a lite breakfast before my friend caught a flight. She is not local, so she was charmed. I found it as enjoyable as always. I like the dark wood, wooden tables vibe! I loved my chocolate croissant and cafe au lait with vanilla. They serve lattes in big latte bowls with no handles, so use caution when the thing first comes out! This visit, I did not have lunch, but their Casear salad and brikette are my favorite at lunch time. I enjoy the cafeteria style service, it's laid back and, if you're there off hours, pretty relaxed. Le Chat is a Columbus fav, so during busy hours it's, well, pretty busy!

    Sweet and salty breakfast

    Great selection and fresh country fare . Employees speak French and all of the food offerings are so delicious.

    Eggs Benedict
    Demetrius B.

    In a place known for its pastry game, we opted to go the brunch/lunch route for a recent dine-in experience. Immediately upon walking in, you see the breads, cakes and sweets that make you want to gain 15 pounds at once. Stepping further into the dining room, the place feels classic and intimate, similar to lodge. You order your food in essentially a cafeteria lunch line. The benefit is that you can see the beautiful hot dishes waiting to be added to your tray The poutine came out hot. Rather than a gravy base, the frites were covered in a bolognese sauce and topped with Swiss cheese. Unique - yes. But overall it tasted like a dish less than the sun of its parts. My wife went for the Eggs Benedict which I sampled. Four star worthy but the little side salad didn't have any dressing and really could have been omitted. I would visit again but likely stick to their popular items.

    Lunch combo.
    Jeanette C.

    What I would have expected for the area. Had the lunch combo, soup, salad and sandwich . Caesar salad was wonderful. The lobster bisque was the most delicious I have ever had. The Brie on my sandwich was amazing. Chocolate eclair for dessert was to die for. Very small restaurant and super crowded. I loved it though.

    Cafeteria style food.

    It's very different food for what I'm used to for sure. They can definitely get pricey also. The staff was very friendly and I really appreciated how fast they served our large group.

    Escargot
    Ces C.

    Stoppped by for Sunday brunch, not quite busy. You basically fall in line, place your order and pick an open table & they bring food to your table. We tried the spinach omelette in egg whites which was the special for the day and escargot. The spinach was as bland as it could possibly be. The Escargot was okay it came with a baguette, just swimming in way too much oil. The french onion soup though was tasty. The hot chocolate was served in a bowl. Latte was decent. The glass display for pastry almost empty and sad, just had a handful of breads. We were hoping for a nice French bakery/pastry experience, not today.

    Cream of Tomato Basil
    Debra V.

    Loved the warm French country feeling. Arrived at 11 a.m. before the lunch rush. I took my time looking at all the pastries and quiches behind the glass. Staff behind the counter were helpful explaining the different options. I had the spinach and egg in a puffed pastry. Was delicious. My friend has the same delicious lunch every time...the tomato basil soup and Caesar salad. There were many tables inside and on the lovely patio. We sat in the back room which was more private.

Food: Almond croissant is delicious. Crispy, flaky, soft interiors with a beautiful almond filling. This is the best almond pastry I've had in Columbus. I'd highly recommend. Maple pecan twist is delicious. Soft with a sweet maple glaze and crunchy pecans to top. This was beautiful down and tasted fantastic. If you're a pecan lover this is for you. I'd highly recommend. Pumpkin morning bun was phenomenal. This is one of the best pumpkin pastries I've ever had. A true pumpkin flavor with a soft buttery pastry. I'd insist on this item. Crème Brûlée Eclair was good. Butter pastry with a crunchy caramel topping and a sweet very well made cream filling. This was my first eclair and I'm not disappointed. I'd recommend. Plum cranberry Almond Tart was delicious. The plums and cranberries were fresh and added a nice freshness to the almond base tart. I'd highly recommend. Chocolate bombe was great. Cold ganache filling with dark chocolate chunks and a beautiful ganache and cocoa powder over the top. I'd recommend for chocolate lovers. Chocolate Caramel Pecan Feuilletine was great. It genuinely tasted like an upscale turtle. If turtles are something you'd enjoy. I'd highly recommend.

I think the issue is with the chocolate they use for the mocha but it had such an odd flavor that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The croissant was fine and not memorable and I won't say too much on the macaron because I think I just realized I'm not really a macaron person so I can't fairly judge them there. The cafe is itty bitty and there is absolutely no seating inside so it's more of a grab and go situation. There are a few seats outside so hopefully you can snag a seat when the weather is nicer. Overall, I think there are a lot of other good coffee shops in Columbus that I don't see myself going out of my way to come back.

    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.

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.
