    I was so happy to finally be able to visit Tea Zone after years of driving past! The interior is really cute with some nice seating areas. My first visit was right after they had opened from the weekend so they didn't have a ton ready to sell yet but I was still able to try a few things. My second visit I got more items to try and a bubble tea. I wasn't super impressed with the bubble tea. The boba themselves were a bit tough. I would love to return again though to try even more of their offerings!

    We have been coming to this place for years! Nice and relaxing atmosphere, small bites and bingsuu! TeaZone Cafe is the spot to be!! They have a traditional seating area so shoes off (bring socks if you are so inclined) and your legs go under the table! I love it because it is so cozy! Paired with seatees and floor chairs make for a peaceful environment. I always get some yummy breads, coffee and tea here! The owners are so sweet! This family establishment takes the cake! 5 stars!

    We tried multiple pastries and green tea bubble tea and more. Everything tasted great was fresh! The pastries with cream cheese were great (not too sweet, not too bland. The tea was great too. It had rich matcha and bobas too. We enjoyed everything we tried and customer service was super friendly too!

    Fresh baked pastries, cakes, lunch entrees, fresh squeezed juices, and bubble tea - what else could you ask for?! I have been going here for over 7 years now because my family and I love the owner's pastries and especially her cakes! We always order cakes here for family gatherings because it's not too sweet, heavy, and is topped with fresh fruit! She doesn't put the fruit on until you order the cake and you can hear her cutting the fruits in the back. It's a spongey cake and I believe she uses soy to make her frosting. The cakes comes in a cute box and she supplies a plastic knife. Also, the husband or wife will ask you if it's for any special occasion and give you a cute sign (happy birthday, Happy Holidays, etc.) along with a couple free candles. The smallest cake is $15, small & medium are $25-$29, half a sheet is $50, and her whole sheet cake is $75. Her pastries are simple, but delicious. You just grab the pastries you want. They even show you the time she baked it when you buy it. I also love their fresh squeezed juices, especially the kiwi one. They are a Korean couple and you can tell the husband isn't as strong with his English as his wife is. They are so sweet and he'll always answer the phone with a kind "hello" and she'll always take over the phone for cake orders. I never leave without hearing them say goodbye to you. I will continue to support this lovely couple. :)

    Corn rolls
    Amy J.

    Selection of food items like bento boxes w bulgogi for under ten bucks each that take about 15 min to prepare for carry out. Numerous filled and infilled buns and other Asian inspired pastries like sweet pea paste in a danish or red bean paste in wheat rolls. Also have some soy milk, rice punch, and other to go drinks by the can/pack. Some sliced cakes as well. Not cheap. 2.99 or 3.99 each for the items I pictured. None of them were particularly remarkable but not overly dry or outright bad in any way. Just nothing to write home about. Ok I lied. The corn rolls (pictured) were more like dry cornbread breadsticks and I couldn't bear the lack of moisture so I had to toss them out. Today I went when everything was stocked again. The cheesy corn roll was delicious- everything today was moist so it is important to get there if you want bakery items earlier rather than later as they get stale quickly apparently. The peanut cream roll was also delicious- something that would be easily wrecked if dry at all

    The food, the ambiance, the attention to detail is charming and well worth the time spent here. Would highly recommend.

    Apple turnover and slice of Oreo Mousse Cake
    Marissa C.

    What a cute little bakery and cafe! We were greeted by a friendly staff person upon entry. The menu board featured their variety of drinks, including coffee, tea, and smoothie options. There is a glass case full of tasty cakes and cake slices, including cheesecake, cream puffs, and more at the time of our visit. A long table featured items including muffins, turnovers, cookies, and the like. They have seating, including an area where you remove your shoes to enter, in addition to tall tables and chairs. We selected a slice of Oreo mousse cake and an apple turnover for our goodies, though everything looked delicious and it was hard to pick! We certainly have items we want to come back and try in the future, but both of the goodies we opted for this time were terrific. They have a few reserved parking spots in front of their store, and there is plentiful parking in the shopping center lot, just across the entry road.

    All my cats in Houston live in the FLEA ZONE When I take mirror selfies, it's always in the PEE ZONE And if you're free later, I can put you in the D ZONE But if you want a bakery in C-Bus come to TEA ZONE! WHAT. This cute little Korean bakery ended up being the sixth stop on my bubble tea tour of Columbus, and the owner was really nice. I didn't love the bubble tea but they have a lot of interesting bakery goods and the tea wasn't bad and the owner seems really nice. Prices are affordable so come and check out the goods here at this unassuming little authentic Korean bakery. The 4 instead of 3 is for lovely service and baked goods. Now I need some me time, so I'm off to the Me Zone.

    My dad and I discovered this place on a whim and loved it! It's a bit hidden and unassuming from the outside but larger than it appears. Immediately, we were greeted from the 2 friendly employees in the front. The decor is an almost chaotic hodgepodge, but in a familiar, home-y way. I love how much personality shines through the decor. There are green and plants everywhere along the window, Korean and western signs, mellow jazz music, and casual cafe seating in addition to an entire area of traditional Korean seating. There are a menu of baked items, a case of items at the register, and an assortment of Korean, Japanese, and French pastries to pick up yourself and bring to the register. There's also a wide variety of drink options, from coffee to hot tea to bubble tea. I didn't love the bubble tea (no adjustable sugar or ice, so it's veryy sweet) but my dad was very impressed by the coffee. I'd love to try a hot tea next time I visit. Overall, I highly recommend this hidden gem! Super cozy spot for studying, a casual coffee date, or just picking up some yummy pastries.

    Green tea shaved ice
    Gennie L.

    Tea Zone is such a cute little Japanese bakery! My friend and I ordered the green tea shaved ice. The portion size was quite large so we split it and it was still quite filling! The shaved ice came with matcha ice cream, matcha powder, boba, sweet cream/milk(?) idk, and sprinkles. The sprinkles were interesting haha I didn't expect them but it definitely spiced up the shaved ice. The matcha powder was quite strong but it was sooo good. So was the ice cream! Tea zone also has the traditional Japanese seating where you can take off your shoes and sit on an elevated platform (I don't really know how to describe it lol). All the workers were super sweet and greeted us with a smile! Other customers were playing board games when my friend and I got there (not sure if it was supplied by Tea Zone or if they brought it themselves). Either way, I loved the vibe of the dessert restaurant and the food was delicious! Overall rating: 8.5/10

    Here is the front, where you order. There are also deserts and cakes.
    Terressa S.

    I came to tea zone on a whim one day, just wanting to stop somewhere before I headed to work, and it was the absolute best decision I've made in Columbus. They have plenty of options for tea, coffee, and deserts- which are all Asian based. My go-to currently is green tea bubble tea and iced coffee bubble tea. The customer service is wonderful, everyone I've spoken to that works there has been very kind. It is always clean, and the only thing you might see is a little cup ring on the tables. And even if you're not especially into Boba, there's definitely a drink option there for you. If you don't want to go for the beverages, the warmth and cozy vibes are enough to satisfy you. And if you're into soda, or just want to try an Asian pop, they have both coco cola and milkis (which I recommend).

    Pound cake
    Mohammedali G.

    I have been so mind blow by this place that i keep coming here every time. This story started with finding a new place from where i can buy cakes for birthdays. I wanted something unique and matching my asian palette of lesser sugar. To my prayers being answered, i found it on G maps. The first time i tried anything from Here was their fruit cake which is their best seller. Then their bakery stuff like the pictures you see below were so soothing and yummy to have as a snack or while your breakfast. Lastly, whatever i said in the previous statement can be attested by not finding any bakery products by the end of the day, its all GONE!! Anyhow, do give this place a try and make it viral as a gem of columbus , OH

    Menu!

    I stopped in with a friend just minutes before they were about to close around 8 on a Thursday. I got a few pastries as did my friend, as well as a green tea ice cream sandwich. So yummy! It's not a super big place but they have a lot of tables. They serve lunch here and you can sit and drink hot tea or get bubble tea. They also sell cakes and other kinds of desserts and balloons! They were really nice at the register. My friend happened to know the guy! I'll have to come back again! I didn't even know they were a Korean bakery, I just knew about the tea. The selection is a little different in comparison to Belle's Bread. They've got their own kinds of stuff and it seemed like they had a lot of pastries. Not as many cakes as Belle's, but still a good amount. Prices seem pretty reasonable too!

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.
