I didnt realize HOW far away this was from Columbus. It was definitely not close. By the time we…read moregot there for breakfast I was grumpy. I was getting hangry, for sure. But the owners of the cafe were so nice they quickly got me in a good mood. We ordered a breakfast bowl, avocado toast, scrambled eggs and a latte and a regular coffee. My husband enjoyed his breakfast bowl. My avocado toast was excellent. Scrambled egg was nicely cooked and it was affordable. The entire meal was maybe 18 bucks. Very affordable What is nice about this place is it really is community centric. Most everything they sell seems to be local or Ohio made. They open their space for book fairs, painting classes and I think live music if I remember correctly. I was impressed with just how nice the owners were and as I said I really liked my breakfast! Thanks Cardington Cafe!

On my continuing drive-about breakfast adventures, I stumbled into Edison Depot -- part restaurant,…read morepart coffee shop, part ice cream parlor, and 100% small-town charm. First impression? The place was incredibly clean -- the kind of clean where you almost hesitate to set down your coffee mug because you don't want to mess up the shine. Inside, the locals were holding court: talking crops, local happenings, and laughing like this was their morning news network. It felt less like eavesdropping and more like I'd been drafted into the Edison Breakfast Club. I went with the Country Fried Steak and scrambled eggs (the waitress must've sensed I needed backup protein). The food was solid, classic diner fare -- hearty enough to fuel a day of farming, driving, or just another round of local gossip. The real MVP? The service. My waitress treated coffee refills like an Olympic relay -- the bottom of my cup never once saw daylight. For the tribe, I ordered a breakfast bowl, a half order of biscuits and gravy, some bacon, and even oatmeal to keep things balanced. The portions were generous, and it all packed up neatly for the road. Pro Tip: Don't just come hungry, come curious. Sit back, sip your coffee, and you'll leave knowing more about Edison crops than you ever planned. Verdict: Edison Depot is the kind of place where breakfast isn't just a meal -- it's a community event with eggs, gravy, and unlimited coffee on the side.

It's a unique place with an old train car built into the structure. Be careful on the steps. Tjey don't have anything vegan and not much is vegetarian, but my parents enjoy the burgers and say it's much better than fast food. I had a grilled cheese with fries. It was good, if a little basic, but it was also really cheap. Could make it at home, but nice to eat out sometimes. Much cheaper than grilled cheese at a food truck. The burgers are cheaper than fast food so it is better to go here as opposed to a fast food chain. They also have an ice cream parlor, but I haven't tried that yet. Over it's pretty good.

I ordered the maple bacon donut and a buckeye coffee - the donut was phenomenal!!! Especially the cream inside. My husband ordered a blueberry fritter which was great and a chai tea.

We grabbed a large M&M cookie, plus a cherry, blackberry, and blueberry fry pie--one of each. The cookie was a hit right away, but those fry pies were the real standout. Flaky, sweet, and packed with filling--they were delicious. Each flavor had its own thing going on, and honestly, it'd be hard to pick a favorite. The portion sizes were solid, and everything felt like a really good value for the price, which is always a plus. They do offer lunch items too, which we didn't try this time, but it gives me a good reason to come back and check out more of the menu. Overall, a great little bakery stop--especially if you've got a sweet tooth or want to grab something quick that still feels homemade.

Though the line was a little long and there was a crowd that already ordered waiting for drinks, we were in and out in about 10 minutes. The staff were friendly, the latte art is always appreciated, and the decor and availability of beverages other than coffee didn't go unnoticed. The only potential negative is that I heard it's a hike to get to the bathroom and it requires a super long metal stick key that you have to pick up from the front counter. Parking is along the street out front.

They have such great one of a kind special finds by local artists and other artists. You could spend hours just roaming the building looking at the unique architecture. It has been refurbished to show off its 1800s heritage. They have a fabulous coffee shop and bakery. There are so many choices of coffees and teas that it is hard to limit yourself to one. I usually get one while I'm there and 1 to go. Their prices are better than some of the other named coffee shops. Their pastries are incredible. They melt in your mouth. The blueberry muffin is a big favorite but I love the pistachio pound cake. Honestly you cannot go wrong with anything you purchase. I would love to try a scone but I never get there early enough. They sell out pretty quickly. They even offer art classes in their loft. I recently attended one and was surprised that my picture turned out well enough to know what it was. The artist was great to work with and super patient. This is a hidden gem in downtown Marion, Ohio across from the county building and near the Palace. I wish I had tried it earlier. It is now one of my favorite places to relax with a cup of coffee or tea on a Saturday morning, alone or with my daughter, and do a little shopping. It should definitely be on your bucket list if you stop through our beautiful town.

Speaking of the food: The breakfast biscuit made on the herbed biscuit is a MUST get. If you don't get one and someone in your party does.. you "will" have food envy. Not even joking. It is that good. We surprised our friends at a dog show down the road ag the richland county fair with breakfast sandwiches and baked goods from Nickel and Bean and they multiple times brought up how good the sammie was.

The reviews and pics of this location looked good - as were the hours of operation. The only challenge as it turned out was parking. I had not done my homework on that. I ended up parking on a side street off the town square. Short walk and free, so I guess I can't complain. The coffee menu is basic - and I'm a basic decaf person. They had a limited selection of baked goods. I had hoped for more so I could take something home for the hubby - but my friend found something she wanted and ate every bite. Drinks were fine and they had a table for us to sit and talk. And talk we did - for two and a half hours. The seats were comfortable as I normally would not be able to sit that long. They also have a restroom that was nice and clean. Driving some distance, we both needed that amenity! Overall, I highly recommend so a nice, casual place to sit and chat and enjoy someone's company. The noise level was relatively quiet and we didn't have any distractions. While I doubt I'll be back, I would not hesitate to return if I had a reason.
