I couldn't have asked for a more stress free planning experience in putting my wife's 50th birthday party. They were very accommodating. During the event the staff was on their toes. I even hired the band and came to find out they were being taken care of (food and drink)--not on my bill. Most everybody came up to me after the party and told me what a wonderful event and venue! I'm just a guy with no idea how to throw a party for a lady, and to have a bunch of women tell you it was top notch, I was flattered. The fee was very reasonable, after all was said and done but what I liked most about that was, there were no hidden costs. I had options, but the owner and the event planner made everything very simple to understand and I never stressed. When I paid the bar bill at the end of the night, I was pleasantly surprised. My wife flipped that I was able to pull it off. With the help of a few of her friends Mozart's helped me create a party that will be remembered for quite a while. Thank you so much!!!!!

Been here twice now for their afternoon tea, which runs between 2 and 4 pm. The experience makes you feel like you're a bougie Brit having high tea! I opted to try the mango and peach teas, which were both refreshingly delicious. Both were brewed to perfection and neither of the teas were overwhelmingly fruity. Each pot makes about two cups, and you can request cream, honey, and/or sugar as needed. The three tiered tray contained various little sandwiches, appetizers, scones, and desserts. It is just enough food as a nice afternoon snack to tie you over till dinner. Would definitely recommend coming here for this unique experience! read more

I was here for brunch and this place is huge! Atmosphere: It has an Italian feel, HUGE, and in need of an interior refresher. Service: The waiter was awesome..A+ Food: I got the turkey dinner quiche and the bf got Wolfgang's breakfast sandwich. The quiche had a nice crispy crust with turkey chunks.It comes with a side of fruits and whole wheat toast. The flavor was good and the side of fruits was SO fresh. My bf's sandwich was definitely something you can make at home. I didn't get to try their pastries but it looks so rich and delicious. read more

Great key lime pie to go! They had a hilarious mannequin with a wig sitting at a piano. I also noticed that had a huge space in the back for what looked like parties and whatnot. read more

We had a bad experience as Mozart's quite a few years ago. We were not satisfied with certain items of our food and the waiter would not agree to refund the items we purchased. We were very polite about which items we enjoyed and would be willing to pay for, and were not rude in any way or trying to scam them, but they still would not comp the certain items we did not eat. Very frustrating. Food simply not that impressive, go somewhere else and save the money if you are looking to go out to eat and have fun. This was a bad experience, really was just weird. This place has a stuffy vibe anyway and a strange seating arrangement, and the menu is boring. If this place actually had really good food, that would be one thing, but the food is super mediocre for the price point and boring. Honestly, if you are just looking for a good all rounder restaurant, DON'T go here. This place is like "yeah we have all these fancy cakes and torts and cool hip entrees! Oh but none of it is actually that good." read more

If any place deserves 5 stars, it is Mozart's cafe. 21 years ago, my parents bought their wedding cake here, and they thought it would be nice to take me, her friend, and her daughter out to brunch here as it was her anniversary. Not only was the food spectacular and the cakes spectacular, the service, atmosphere, and music was beyond our expectations. While dining here, we sat in front of the pianist and vocalist Paul Weiss who provided us with beautiful classical music. But, out of the blue, Paul started singing a Tom Waits song, a singer that is extremely special to my mom. Mr. Weiss was kind enough to play and sing requests from my mom and made her day extremely special. Paul, we are so grateful that you were able to make our day with your wonderful, vibrant voice and passion for Tom Waits music! Dining at Mozarts went from having a nice brunch to a beautiful display of the best that music can offer. read more

I speak strictly about the brunch at the restaurant, however I am happy to give 5-stars off of that alone. I must say that this establishment is a bit quirky, both in its location and its service, however the establishment is beautifully designed, and the brunch menu is spectacular. For those looking for something a little more decadent and slow moving, I would highly recommend coming here to get a weekend morning started. There is an extensive pastry menu and they are all well-made and elegantly designed. I would recommend to anyone coming here to order an omelet of any kind, your favorite pastry, and bring some company to carry on a conversation while you wait. I will also say that the menu is not the most accommodating - so anyone who has dietary restrictions should call ahead and check that their needs can be met from the kitchen, and I would also avoid the coffee, it is nothing amazing for the price, especially with so many talented cafes in the surrounding neighborhood. read more

I should start by saying that I came to Mozart's with a Groupon in hand. I enjoyed my experience at Mozart's. A group of four of us went for the afternoon tea. We had a reservation, and we were seated immediately. We selected our tea, and everything else was already selected as part of the tea service. The food was fantastic. Each set of two people split a tower of little sandwiches and sweets. The sandwiches were very tasty. But I especially loved the desserts, with the outstanding marzipan peach that I ended up buying another of as I left. I'd definitely go back for more of those. As for the price, I think it was pretty steep without the Groupon. I'm not sure I would go back without one. Except to pick up marzipan treats. They were fantastic. read more

Mozart's is a great place. I do think it is the best bakery in Columbus. The scones are the best I have ever had. They have a sweet cafe with really nice entrees. I love the garden spaetzel. It is delicious. There are lots of meat options but I am a vegetarian . There is an excellent bar menu with good cocktails and wine options. The wait staff is professional and never rush you. There is an excellent ambience in the cafe and it is a wonderful place to gather with friends. Mozart's owner is a real gem and is an exemplary community philanthropist and restauranteur. read more

Attended a Sunday afternoon tea for a bridal shower and it was a delight. The pastries were so cute and scrumptious. There were a variety of options they served on a 3 tier platter, savory breads and mini sandwiches on the bottom, desserts in the middle and the top were soft biscuits accompanied by whipped butter and heavenly jam. Of course it wouldn't be a tea party without tea, we had earl grey and Moroccan mint, which were also great. It's not on the brunch menus but we had a few mimosa and those were a hit too. You'd expect our server to have been overloaded with a party of 15 loud unrelenting woman but he was very courteous and tried to be as attentive as he could be. Mozart's staff was very accommodating and friendly as well. read more

A carrot cake like no other. A wonderful pop up shop. Humble talented ownership. Local small business with ties in the local community This is our go to bakery. read more

Was a great rehearsal dinner and very accommodating to all of our needs, including amply spacing people out to comply with COVID-19 restrictions, having servers to serve us in a buffet style manner, last minute additions to our guest count, and providing a pianist to play for us while we dined. Their customer service leading up to the event was amazing with very prompt replies and flexibility in accommodating for gluten free folks and others with severe nut allergies. The owner met me as soon as I arrived and told me the plan and asked if I needed anything to be changed. Atmosphere was classy and elegant. One of the bridesmaids spent the first 10 minutes of the rehearsal dinner walking around in wonder of the beauty of the place. Great food. I received many compliments on the menu, which I unfortunately had to decline since the meal was all picked out by the owner. Couldn't recommend this place enough! Delivered top notch food, service, and atmosphere read more

I went to the Mozart Birthday celebration. The food was just ok. Everything else was bad. We barely saw our waiter. Half our group didn't even get silverware after asking multiple times. We finally had to take some from another table. Salad dressing was dropped on my friend by a waiter. The waiter had no idea who ordered anything so some of our party ended up with 2 salads. Even the music was poorly done with the sound level of the microphone being far too loud that we could barely hear instruments over it. read more

Good food and ambiance and baked goods that are very tasty. Entrees are also good but higher than you might expect. The current location has more room and occasional live music. The quality always is good. read more

The schnitzel and spaetzle were delicious! The service was exemplary. The torte and cake was scumptious. If we were not from out of town, we would eat here often. read more

Love the atmosphere at Mozart's, true classical finery without any pretentiousness whatsoever. The staff are friendly and on point. Delicious warming drinks on a frigid day, Quiche Lorraine that is divine, and such beautiful live piano music that it makes me want to sit here all day sipping hot chocolates! read more

I was one of a party of four ladies for afternoon tea on Friday. Just wanted to thank you for an enjoyable experience. The food and tea were delicious and the staff were attentive (but not excessively so) and friendly. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and look forward to our next visit. read more

Right, so I tried the carrot cake and key lime pie. The carrot cake had no flavor of carrot, but a massive taste of marzipan. The icing on the cake had a weird consistency. Not good. The key lime pie had a good flavor, but the pie crust was slightly undercooked and soggy. Not impressed by this bakery. They should spend less money and get a smaller location, so they can invest a little more in their products. read more

Food is as subpar as the service. Not a place to go to hungry or looking for a fantastic meal. Brought some out of town guests and was disappointed in the experience. This was at lunch so can't comment on group settings which seems to me like the direction they're trying to go read more

Finally got the chance to stop by the new Mozart's location this afternoon. I had been to the old location once before and thought it was a little worse for wear, but this newly renovated location is kind of amazing. It's huge with lots of parking. We stopped in just for an afternoon snack and caffeine fix. I had my favorite marzipan peach(a super cute marzipan peach rolled in colored sugar and filled with fruit filling and butter cream...doesn't get much tastier) and I also tried a lemon petit four, which was almost too pretty to eat. Both tasted delicious. I also ordered a cafe mocha and while it was good, it was very, very rich and the coffee flavor was kind of lost(it really just tasted like I was drinking hot chocolate). The piano was going and that always makes your snack time feel a little classier and special. I love coming here and can't wait to be back when I live closer. read more

Had dinner last night at the new location. Was a little nervous as the local paper highlighted the place in the news yesterday. We had a 15 min wait for a table of 2. Ordered the cream of mushroom soup, which was excellent. It had obviously seen some cream and the mushrooms seemed a bit stronger than the usual button mushrooms, perhaps crimini or portabella? The entree was a piece of veal schnitzel as big as the whole plate. The veal was very nicely fried and tasty. Could have used some more lemon juice to add some flavor. When I requested a piece of lemon, I was brought such a thin silver, it was impossible to juice. Accompaniments to the veal were some homemade spatzle. Have been to Vienna and grew up on Hungarian food. These were outstanding, very light and fluffy. The green beans, which also came with the veal appeared to be French haricot verts and were expertly crisp steamed. Perfect! My dinner companion had the veal schnitzel sandwich, which was also very tasty and a side of the spatzle. For dessert, we both had a vanilla and chocolate mousse cake, I believe it is the Opera cake? Very light and airy, not too heavy, which was nice after a large meal. We each had a soft drink. Service was good, although they were very, very busy. The check for all this came to $52 with tax & tip, which seemed very reasonable. The new space is lovely, with a piano player and a more formal setting than their previous location. There does appear to be a large banquet room, which would be nice for a luncheon or wedding. The owner was very much in evidence, ensuring things were flowing smoothly. We will definitely be back! read more

I came here to meet a friend the other day for a pastry and coffee. After we sat down we were informed that to dine in you're supposed to order off the menu and that you can't just eat a pastry, but that the server would do it this one time. For the remainder of our time there we were consistently reminded that we were not supposed to just order a pastry. It was honestly really awkward and a terrible experience. If you take one thing away from this review remember : you're not supposed to order a pastry and coffee and eat it st the restaurant. If you don't believe me, I'm sure there's a very vocal and grumpy server who will tell you the same thing I'll never come back just because of the experience I had, though I can see why someone might like coming here if they want a fancy lunch. My pastry was good, but totally not worth the shade the server threw at us read more

The new home of Mozart's is gorgeous thanks to a year long renovation that restored the building's 1920s style and added a lovely patio space, but there are some teething issues. I stopped by with my wife for a Friday night dessert and staff didn't seem to know quite how to handle us just wanting gelato and a cookie or two compared to the people coming in for a full meal. Getting rung out took longer than you'd expect, and I overheard several other people having issues with their checks. That said, the things we tried (vanilla petit fours and a Tiramisu gelato for me, chocolate p.f. and a scoop of the chocolate truffle for my wife) were wonderful, and lived up to the quality you'd expect with Mozart's long history here in Columbus. I'm sure that they issues will get smoothed out as the team gets used to the new location and expanded offerings, and I look forward to making this a semi-regular stop for some special treats. read more

Mozart's has been a Columbus staple for many years. I have had take-out previously (the Hungarian goulash soup is perfection) but I had not dined there yet. Tonight was the night to try it. Mozart's has a small dining room with a piano playing quiet background music. I ordered the Stiegl Pilsner (Austrian) which was crisp and light with no hoppy aftertaste. For my entrée, I had the ham and gorgonzola spaetzel. It was out-of-this-world good. Such refined flavors, so thoroughly delightful. I was sorry to see it disappear! My server Carlos was pleasant and efficient. I really have no complaints. A beautiful dining experience! read more

Great lunch with my friends from Detroit area. We had the bakes Swiss appetizer & then a cup of soup. All very delicious & lick the plate tempting. Wait staff was very friendly . The killer part was trying to chose a dessert to take home. I got the cocoanut rum ball. Fantastic! read more

Things have apparently gotten a lot better around here in terms of service and in terms of tea and accommodating people with food allergies/intolerance. I finally got to a point in my life where eating wheat and gluten is off the table after about 8 years of issues---before it was "trendy" to be gluten free. Believe me. There is nothing trendy about it. I miss you regular bread. With a 24 hour notice when I made my reservation, I was able to be accommodated very well. Gluten free bread, toast instead of scones, etc. I felt like I was very well taken care of, because I know some places, the answer is to just eat whatever it is without bread, which works most of the time, but I'm glad it wasn't the case today. Thanks for accommodating me. : ) tea was lovely. read more

Sad. I really wanted this to be great. I headed for brunch with my sister and our significant others and the Northstar line was just way too long. Mozart's seemed like a good choice, I've never heard bad things and the marzipan peach is just famously delicious. We all tried different things and no one was excited about any of it. We ended up with an $80 tab for less food than expected and nothing super great to show for it. I had a portabella sandwich (chewy and the crust was so hard it cut my mouth), my husband had the Tyrolean Special (not as much food as they imply) and we split a waffle (one small belgian waffle). I think my sister had an omlette that was just ok. I just can't think it would be a good idea to come back unless its for the desserts. read more

Went for their afternoon tea. It was a great experience! You have to make reservations for the tea, but it was worth it. Everyone was friendly, the food was good, and the live piano in the background made it extra special. We definitely plan in returning and would recommend this local gem. read more

I wish we had Mozart's in Temecula. Oh the pastries! Oh the coffee! Oh the live music on a grand piano! Besides ice cream, they also have Baileys and Kailua to add. If you sit in the "sidewalk cafe" area, you can hear the piano and it's quieter than the busy main room. The staff was all attentive and customers seemed to be happy with their large portions of food. I look forward to a return visit. read more

Mozart's is a fine example of a five-star business. I've visited their new, much larger location several times now. I love it. The atmosphere makes you forget about busy High St just outside. Piano music fills the air, sometimes played live by a skilled older gentleman - tipping him was a no-brainer. The interior is a combination of open spaces and more intimate enclosed rooms. You can reserve a space for large parties. The pastries and desserts are still stunningly good. The marzipan peach is STILL my favorite. I love the selection of things you get for afternoon tea. Just make a reservation! Other than the new (renovated) building, the biggest improvement is the food itself. The food at the old location was consistently 3 to 4 stars. Now, it is consistently 4 to 5 stars. Excellent work! read more

Went here for the first time for brunch. I liked the atmosphere of this little place. They had a pianist playing music. The food was yummy. I had their Belgian waffles with their home made berry sauce, home potatoes, and bacon. Their Lorraine quiche was pretty good and so was their omelette. I'd definitely come back for brunch again read more

I love this place and introduce it to everyone when they're in town! Their bakery is one of the best in town! If looking for something different this is the place to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner to just sit back and listen to the Baby Grand during dinner is absolutely amazing! This is my personal hideout!!!! read more

I am a regular at Mozart's. I come with friends, with family, attend parties, and sometimes just stop in for a drink or a cup of coffee. I have *never* received anything but polite, prompt service, am always greeted warmly at the door, and neither the food or pastries ever disappoint. Probably my favorite thing about Mozart's is that you can show up in flip flops or dressed to the nines and are treated well no matter what. I often bring my son with me, and he loves that he can play with the Legos. The staff is always incredibly friendly to him, letting him pick out ice cream and even taking a turn working the hostess stand. In addition to the fantastic food and service, the owners are tirelessly devoted to the community, and provide a lovely venue for fundraisers and other community events. I also know that if any experience is subpar for any reason, they will go above and beyond to rectify the situation and make every attempt to retain their customers. I simply can not say enough about this place. Give it a try -- you won't be disappointed! read more

OMG! The size of that scone!!! I was looking so forward to good eats when we ate here today based upon reviews and the goodies that smile at you as you walk in. And then it went downhill. This is a conflicted 3stars because although the food was tasty the service made the meal LESS tasty. Apparently we got hit by a combo of a newbie server and them being up to their eyeballs in people. But if the server was that new perhaps some help with a mentor would've helped the person. We got our drinks fairly quickly after being seated but hubs had to ask three times for a straw for his drink and the milk for my coffee? There was just barely enough in the container for my coffee and I had to ask for a spoon. Nothing like stirring your coffee with a fork. If I had known there was a refill station around the corner I wouldn't have even bothered with the server. But what really tore it was when we saw everyone else getting their meal in a timely enough manner for the amount of people they had in there (including a table next to us who sat down some time after us but got their food BEFORE us). Hubs got his salad but I didn't get mine; then server asks me if I wanted mine before my entree - well, yeah! Then we waited and waited and waited until I was ticked and we flagged down server and asked what was the status of our food? Server goes off to check but guess what? All of a sudden someone else brings out our food and it was warm but not hot. And hubs' spatzel was cold!!! This led us to believe that our food had been sitting waiting for someone to come and bring it to us for some time. Complained to manager who apologized about newbie and their being so crowded and took some off our bill but the experience left us wanting to just get out of there and bypass those yummy looking deserts. Again, the food was tasty even if parts of it weren't the right temperature and our server was in over their head. If service had been better this would've been much higher than a just barely 3star. We will probably go back but not sure when. read more

Originally we were supposed to have the wedding reception at Mozart's however due to Covid-19 we decided on an intimate ceremony and have Mozart's cater the food and bake our wedding cake. Throughout the whole planning process, Janelle, Mozart's event manager, was incredibly understanding and helpful. Very fast responses to all my e-mails and just a very pleasant person to work with. The food tasted amazing (we went with the Swiss chicken and the beef Stroganoff with mashed potatoes and Ratatouille for sides) and the cake was honestly GORGEOUS on the outside and was very fresh and very balanced on the inside. We ordered a mini variety dessert tray with the cake and that also received so many compliments on being very yummy. All the portions were generous and the quality of all the food and desserts was fantastic. Mozart's came through with all the changes and both the owner Anand and Janelle were very easy to work with and very understanding. I couldn't recommend them enough. Very pleased with our experience. read more

I'm really surprised about some of the negative reviews on here. I absolutely loved the the atmosphere, interior decor, and especially the food! We came for brunch on a Saturday and I had the smoked salmon sandwich on European rye bread and a large cafe latte. It was excellent. The other dishes at my table were the daily special - also a smoked salmon plate with potatoes and eggs- and a quiche. All four of us really enjoyed it. I will definitely come back! read more

I've been to Mozarts' quite a few times mostly for the Afternoon Tea or to pick out pastries. I have always had a nice experience. The Afternoon Tea is lovely. If you follow groupon, there is often a deal for you to buy. There are several tea options to choose from so you are sure to find one you like. The tea sandwiches are varied and all tasty. The scones with jam and cream are delicious. The desserts (including a marzipan peach) are wonderful. We try to do this once a year. The dessert case can be hit or miss. We generally enjoy the pastries. We love the marzipan treats. Some of the cakes and tortes can be dry so look at the desserts in the case carefully and be selective. I have only gone once for lunch. I was with some friends from work and we all enjoyed the food and service there. It can be pricey, but is a good choice if you are looking to treat yourself. I haven't gone for breakfast yet. But I will someday. If you ever go when the piano player is there, be sure to appreciate the skillful playing. The last time we visited Mozarts, we went over and talked to him for a bit. He loved chatting with us and told us some of his history. Overall, a fine restaurant. read more

Mozart was quite possibly the BEST restaurant we went to in Columbus. We went there for breakfast. Their breakfast pastries were fresh and delicious. We ordered an Almond Croissant. It was flaky with generous sprinkles of almonds and a delicious almond spread. Their scones were huge! I ordered a Walnut Cranberry scones and was in heaven! The scones were moist and flavorful. I totally did not need butter or jam. This was as far as you can get from the dry scones that Starbucks serves. Their breakfast menu was extensive and quite impressive. I ordered a spinach omelet and was very pleased to see that it was cooked beautifully. Kids had their own special menu. The owner thoughtfully had a section filled with Legos and books for kids as they waited for their food. Wonderful wonderful place! We will definitely be back!! read more

Wow. What a disappointment! We looked forward to eating at Mozarts and supporting the local owned business. We went for Sunday brunch. Even though the building had been renovated the set-up of the dining space was awkward and the lighting was even worse. The space and lighting is the least of their problems. After struggling with what to order from the limited menu, i ended up with the cheese omelet. I didnt know a cheese omelet could be screwed up. There was 4x the amount of cheese that was needed and because there was so much cheese the omelet was uncooked on the inside. The breakfast potatoes were sauteed, cold and bland. Hope they can get their act together. read more

Great cafe au lait, pretty good cake, but the atmosphere is a little odd. It's definitely a place you go with someone to have cake, not a coffee shop to hang out in and read or work. Which is fine, just not really what I was looking for. read more
