    Feeling under the weather, but still had to go pick up the kid. I figured a restorative was in order. And when I saw they had not just sausage gravy, but turkey sausage gravy, and it wasn't far from my route, I was off. Parking is a little weird. You can park in the CVS lot, and apparently the Jiffy Lube lot next-door, but I wasn't sure about that and while it is the closest one, I chose CVS for safety. You can't go in the back door of the restaurant, although you can come out of it at the end. It is larger inside than I expected, and nicer, though not fancy. Order with a code or at the counter. Super friendly, patient, efficient service. Minimal, because you order at the counter and they bring it out, but still really good. They have coffee, and have other drinks, like Boylan's pop. I got a macchiato, which was in a small, old school coffee cup, not the giant type you get nowadays. But that's plenty; I'm trying to cut back on caffeine. I got the turkey sausage gravy and biscuits breakfast. I don't think I've ever had it with turkey. I've used ground turkey in chili and spaghetti sauce and what not, but never seen this. And I figured that was also an indicator that it was house made. It came out fast, and it was amazing. Big hearty biscuits, a lot of gravy with big chunks of meat, lightly seasoned. And there's hot sauce on the table, which is always a good sign. I chose a fruit cup instead of potatoes because, you know, man does not live on sausage gravy and biscuits alone. It was ripe fruit. Not under ripe like you get too often; it was perfectly ripe. And the eggs were cooked to my spec. I had thought about getting a side. I mean, Mexican corn, Brussel sprouts, more that sounds good. But this was plenty, and I was fairly hungry. I'll be back for the other stuff. Very reasonably priced for very good food. Fast, at an off time. I will definitely be back.

    This is a cute little cafe across from Nationwide Children's Hospital. I've gone about 3 times only for lunch as I now work right around the corner. The decor is bright, filled with a lot of plants, and it's clean with ample seating. The service is always great in my opinion with friendly young ladies working the register, and they bus your table afterwards if you dine-in. They offer a variety of healthy food options, salads, wraps, etc. My only gripe is that the food just isn't very flavorful. The first meal I tried there was the crispy chicken wrap. It had one thick very tough piece of chicken that wasn't seasoned much. Yesterday I tried the turkey avocado salad and it also didn't blow me away. Even the bacon they use doesn't have much taste! Didn't think that was even possible! All in all, I'd recommend them if you just happen to be in the area wanting a healthier option.

    I have been wanting to try this place. We brought the family in today. We got a chicken Fajita omlette, French toast and kids turkey sandwich and French toast. The lavender latte was also good. We will be back. Overall good service, food and value.

    I really need to start coming to this place more often! I tried the iced latte again and this time it was better. But I really loved the hot honey chicken bowl! Everything is so fresh and healthy, but flavorful too. I was able to take home leftovers for a second meal. Highly recommend.

    Visited Northstar Cafe on a Saturday afternoon. Immediately upon stepping in I was excited. The…read morerestaurant is clean and beautiful perfect for any occasion. You order before you find a seat, and the host who took our order was so kind and down to earth. He gave us recommendations and affirmed our choices. I can't remember his name but, he was wearing a cast/sling so I hope he gets the appreciation he deserves. I ordered the Everyday Egg sandwich with bacon and substituted a biscuit in place of the brioche bun. I'm going to tell you right now - this was the best decision ever! I also ordered a single ricotta pancake, the breakfast potatoes the Country breakfast, and the iced strawberry matcha latte. The country breakfast and the everyday egg sandwich have the exact same presentation, I wish the country breakfast was presented with each item separately rather than stacked as a sandwich but it was still delicious. Just like on the Egg sandwich the eggs are the star, fluffy, cooked to perfection. The biscuits was golden brown and flaky and had a nice bite. It paired very nicely with the strawberry preserves. The ricotta pancake was a standout, fluffy and beautifully soft and lightly crispy on the edges. It is paired with fresh cut bananas. Everything was delicious. The only issues arose because the kitchen ran into an issue with their fryer preventing them from preparing the breakfast potatoes. It also caused a delay in them bringing out part of my meal. They jumped into action to apologize and they treated me to a chocolate chip cookie (delicious, warm and huge!) and a complimentary meal at my next visit. As I live out of town I chose to redeem this by ordering the simple salad to take home to which I added avocado. The salad was delicious, I loved the croutons and the light vinaigrette - the avocado added an enjoyable creaminess. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Columbus!
