Second time I've been to this place. This time my friend and I split the Moroccan breakfast and the chocolate & pistachio croissant. The breakfast was really tasty, including warm wheat bread, a pot of mint tea, and freshly squeezed orange juice, but the real star was that croissant. Holy cow. It was stuffed with some kind of cream (presumably pistachio) with sweet crunchy bits like butter brickle. The first bite, I lost track of what my friend was talking about because I was so distracted by what was going on in my mouth. I also got a latte, which was a little disappointing (too bitter for my taste.) But overall it was a great experience. read more

My dear friend wanted some Traditional Opera Cake for her Birthday. NOONE in Cincinnati was able to deliver, and half of the people acted like they never HEARD of it, which kinda pissed me off. The closest they came was "Opera Creme" cake, which is NOT EVEN CLOSE! So I was Googling my arse off and ended up finding a place in DUBLIN, OHIO who was able to CUSTOM make one for me. Lemme tell you, little buddy, that the whole ordeal was EXPONENTIALLY worth it. That was the BEST cake I've ever had, and she LOVED IT! read more

I'm on the hunt to find the best almond croissant in Columbus and this is one of the better almond croissants I've had! Pistacia Vera offers a better croissant in my opinion but Maison Skalli's vibes are just as great! The place is small but cute. Outdoor and indoor seating. Music and aura of the place is peaceful and accepting. Loved it here! I will def come back for more treats & beverages. read more

I made a reservation three days in advance. It made no difference. 20 minutes waiting at the door with no one acknowledging us when we arrived. No host, no table service, no organization. I ended up ordering at the counter after another 10 minutes waiting for the person in charge to be available. To sit outside (which was part of my reservation), two cooks had to come out and set up a small improvised table right next to the kitchen door. After 30 minutes they brought me an order that wasn't mine, the order number on my receipt didn't even match the one they gave me for the table. The food came in pieces, the silverware was incomplete, and the lemonades I had already paid for were suddenly "out of stock." I asked for a full refund and the response was rude. "We're busy" is not an excuse when you accept reservations days in advance. If you're not prepared to operate on a day like Mother's Day, don't accept reservations. Period. They ruined an important day for my family. Never coming back. read more

The nut-creme filled croissants! You *have* to get it! Backing up a bit, on our first visit, we visited for breakfast. The seating is limited and since the larger tables were taken, we had to squeeze in around the smaller round tables near the front. We went for the Maison Skalli and the Beldi breakfasts, with a Quiche for the little one. The former is a traditional "over easy" egg dish cooked on confit meat. I later learned that it is called a "Khlea". It came with a side of hardy rustic bread, and was rich and delicious! I got a few bites of the other and it was hardy spread of various flatbreads served with cream-cheese, olives, and honey. It was good however I would lean towards the Khlea. The breakfasts came with mint tea and they were delicious! I loved the mint tea! I wonder if it was just mint leaves, or if there were other herbs in the hot water. The breakfast dishes were good, however my big hitters are the ones sitting behind the display glass, in the pastry section. The creme filled croissants are far and away the stars that makes me yearn to come back (and we did; I just want to go back for more). The pistachio-creme filled and the chocolate-pistachio ("Dubai"?) croissants were freshly prepared for us on order. There were hefty croissants stuffed to the gills very very generously! The portion size made me happy and the quality of it made me even happier for the outsized serving size! Come for the breakfast, leave with the croissants and cakes, come back for more tomorrow. I am hungry again just thinking about it. read more

Located in the corner of a small Shopping center, there is a shared parking lot. There is very limited seating, a couple outdoor tables, and it cannot accommodate more than 2-3 people per table. When I arrived, every table was full. Featuring lots of pistachios, including the MS Signature Coffee, which is rimmed with chocolate and pistachios. Ah-mazing. There are lots of cakes and pastries, I opted for the Dubai Chocolate Pistachio croissant based on a recommendation. Incredibly delicious. Every morsel of food that came out of the kitchen was beautiful and was receiving high marks from the patrons. The staff was very friendly and expressed sadness that I needed to get my items to go, rather than staying and enjoying the atmosphere. I highly recommend, and cannot wait to return to the area to try something else. read more

I have to say I was super disappointed in my breakfast now I have been. Cookies are still freaking amazing but now that I know the price tag, it's like OMG expensive. Would I buy them again yes, but maybe not $100 worth. Lol. The service was great, place is clean but starting to look a bit run down. Has indoor and outdoor seating.

My favorite bakery in town!!! 5 stars for the croissants. The store is small, but charming. The people there work hard to make sure people get a good experience!

My favorites are the pistachio and the strawberry Nutella (surprise - it's custard filled, yum!!). The Dubai chocolate croissant is pretty special too! read more

The Service was super friendly. The omelette was okay, In retrospect I should have ordered their croissant or pastries. The cappuccino was fine but cold. The restaurant is quite small.

The food was delicious, and definitely made fresh, and I'm wondering what coffee they use for drinks because that was the best vanilla latte I've had in a long time.

Pros: Pastries are freshly made onsite and beautiful. The macarons are incredible. It appears to be a family business and service was kind. Unique breakfast options. Plenty of parking available. Cons: Very limited seating. Be prepared to have to take your order to go. No real space for people waiting around for takeout orders - a little awkward. No time estimate given when placing takeout order. The shades were all up on a sunny day and it was very warm inside. Maybe wear layers if you are going to dine in? read more

When I heard about this place, I couldn't wait to try it out. This is such a cute place. Limited seating so be prepared to wait a while if you want to dine in or to do a take out. The place is always clean with friendly customer service. We dined in and had their breakfast. We had the Maison Skalli breakfast and the hazelnut crape and the Mint Tea. Both of the food Items were delicious. And the Tea was perfect, not overwhelming with the taste of Mint. Enough tea to share with another person too. I can't wait to go back and try out their pastries. They all look delicious. read more

This place is amazing and I am thankful to Yelp for helping me find it! It's actually in a strip mall close to my house but I did not even think about trying until seeing the rave reviews and they are well deserved. You order up front and they have a small dine in area where they then bring you your food. They have the most beautiful array of patties and desserts in their case up front. I opted for the Simon crossword which is huge and I think it's their signature latte. The latte almost had a marshmallow foam and the rim was crusted with pistachios. So good! The Salmon croissant was also one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time . Everyone was super friendly and helpful and I will definitely be back! read more

This little cafe is everything. They have about 6 tables inside with a bar as well and outdoor patio seating seasonally.

The food was delish and the atmosphere was cozy and friendly. Don't sleep on this family owned cafe with attentive service hidden gem in the Sawmill area. read more

The American coffees were superb! Piping hot with perfect balance of bitter without acidity. We loved the Salmon croissant poached egg, mushroom toast and pistachio croissant.

Cute little coffee shop! Came around 3 pm on Saturday and they were busier than expected. There is plenty of parking too! They have some tables indoors and outdoors. You order at the counter and they give you a number and bring your order out to you. I had a vanilla latte and it had a strong espresso flavor, which I loved. The only negative was that I wished it had more ice. The espresso was poured over the ice which melted it. read more

Last night at home I was craving a creamy delicious pastry, so I looked on this fabulous app called Yelp to search for bakeries near me. I found a few but then didn't feel like jumping in the car, since I was going to be out this morning anyway. Most were closed anyway. I landed on Maison Skalli which is off Sawmill/161. It took me a couple loops around the shopping area until I found it on a corner and 2 doors down from a tea place. It is a small storefront with a dining area. I checked out the pastry cases while another customer was being waited on at the counter. I really wanted both a Pistachio Croissant and an Almond one. And a mini Strawberry Sponge Cake. I couldn't be greedy. I crossed off the Pistachio. I also ordered a Latte with Pistachio & almond milk. All to go. The staff was so very friendly. I want to go back for a breakfast entree when I have more time. The decor is very pretty as well. So happy to have this now on my radar! read more

Finally, I'm back in town to try this new brunch/ bakery place! It was a nice and cute place with a lot of pastries and cakes on display! We got the Dubai chocolate pistachio croissant, a pistachio croissant, and a plain croissant (just to gauge the standard of their croissant). Croissants are definitely on the pricier side... $5.50 for plain and Dubai chocolate one was $10. Croissants was soft but not buttery enough for my liking. Pistachio ones have pistachio cream in it, which was a nice touch to it. The Dubai chocolate one is probably the best one. But a little hefty for that price. Order their salmon croissant and quiche. Personally, I prefer their salmon croissants more. It's softer and flavorful. There's avocado, cream cheese, smoke salmon, and top off with a poached egg. The tart of the quiche was flaky, which added a rather refreshing twist to the density of the custard. However, it was a little salty and kind of heavy to finish. Overall, it's still a nice little spot. Would definitely come back and try their croffle. Since I didn't see till it's my turn to place an order. I'm too indecisive, so it stresses me out when I have to change my mind knowing there's a whole line behind me. read more

Very nice and friendly staff. Pastries are delicious, but every time I order a pistachio latte, the pistachio flavor is lacking. I'm used to the latte having a green hue to it but this iced pistachio latte tastes like a sugary latte without any trace of pistachio. I will try one more time and ask for extra pistachio flavor. read more

I came to check this place out with my mom a couple weeks ago. It was early afternoon, so there were a few people eating breakfast but most seemed to come in just to pick up a couple baked goods. The staff was really patient. Explained the menu options and gave us recommendations. We got the pain suisse, some kind of chocolate croissant, hazelnut cake, and the fraisier (a strawberry dessert). Everything was delicious and not overly sweet. It's nice to see more bakeries popping up. I'll be back to try their coffee. read more

Amazing pastries and drinks here!! Would love to come back and get more. It was Great catching up with a friend here in the morning too!

If you're looking for a place for decadent desserts or a peaceful brunch, definitely check out Maison Skalli. This cafe specializes in Moroccan food, drinks, and baked goods. I was so excited to try their Moroccan breakfast! They have two options. The Maison Skalli breakfast comes with a skillet of eggs and khlii, preserved beef that is dried and marinated in oil. The khlii was on the saltier side so it pairs well with their Moroccan bread, which reminded me of whole grain English muffins in terms of the texture. The Beldi breakfast came with a mix of Moroccan crepes (msemmen, which is a square crepe with thin layers, and harcha, a round flatbread), paired with black olives, cream cheese, and honey. The crepes were really interesting in terms of texture since the msemmen had a softer texture of western crepes while the harcha was a bit harder and bready. The flavor of the crepes themselves are on the blander side so it helps to pair it with the other sides. Both breakfast items came with Moroccan tea (atay), which had a strong herb flavor to it and was slightly sweet, as well as their freshly squeezed orange juice, which was very refreshing. I appreciated how the tea and orange juice was not too sweet. Definitely try their baked goods as well! My favorite was their strawberry fraiser cake, which tasted like a soft strawberry cheesecake, as well as the pistachio flat croissant. I'm excited to try their Moroccan cookies next time! The interior is beautifully decorated and had a peaceful ambiance. They have a few tables for indoor seating or you could carry out your baked goods and drinks. It's definitely more of a sit down brunch place more than a study cafe. Since they are still starting out with only a few workers, service was on the slower side for dining in. Overall, I was so excited to see this new edition to the Columbus food scene and can't wait to be back for more desserts! read more

Come with me to Maison Skalli located around the Dublin area, which they are a bakery by heart, but also offer breakfast and brunch items. The shop itself is aesthetic, plus all the natural sun light peeking through the large glass window. Perfect place for a lovely breakfast or afternoon tea time. They offer great variety of pastry and cake nicely line up inside the display case. I did take a second before I went ahead to order, cause everything look super good. Along with a couple pastries, I got the Salmon Croissant and Atay [Moroccan Tea]. I really like the Atay. It is slightly sweet along with some nutty and mint flavor. Having it with the Salmon Croissant is perfect. Slightly toasted croissant spread with cream cheese and topped with smoked wild salmon, guacamole, poached eggs and benedict sauce. All the flavors just bind well together along with that mixed greens. I went in around their opening hours and it got packed very quickly from the start. They also have some outdoor seating right by their shop. read more

What a lovely ambiance and cute brunch/bakery spot! Very easily accessible location with plenty of parking (near Sawmill Chuck E Cheese/JoAnn Fabrics). The owners are very hospitable and were very sweet in explaining the different dishes. Huge plus is that it is all halal. There is not too many tables for sitting inside, so I would say keep smaller groups when coming to dine in. The owner was very kind to put together 3 tables for us to make room for 6 people. There is a large selection of baked sweets from layered cakes to macarons, as well as various type of croissants. I ended up getting the Maison Skalli breakfast, which was $16. This is a wonderful Moroccan style offering. You get tajine that has eggs and khlii (shredded beef with spices) on a sizzline platter along with 2 pieces of dense Moroccan bread. The entree also includes 2 drinks: freshly squeezed orange juice and mint tea. It is very filling and a great way to taste a variety of things. I really enjoyed this dish, the bread was just a but too dense for me and I wish I had a jam sauce or something of a sauce to dip the rest in. The mint tea was very good and had a perfect hint of sweetness to it. It is definitely shareable. Overall, a lovely experience and I look forward to going back and trying the desserts and croissants. read more

Just an FYI, If you have a nut allergy, be extremely careful with their pastries as they're not the most transparent with what has nuts, and what kind of nuts.

It is a very popular and very tight space. Clearly the pastries were being replaced at such speed in the refrigerator that descriptions did not always align with the treat behind it.

I visited for brunch on a Saturday around 11. This place was VERY busy! It's a small shop with limited seating (indoor & outdoor) and when busy it is extremely crowded and difficult to move around. The way it is set up, the line forms opposite of the entrance and weaves through tables while also blocking the bathroom and door to the back for workers, so you are constantly being asked to make room for others in a very tight space. It took is about 20 mins to wait in line to order and it was a very awkward wait. Once we ordered the employees were very friendly. My friend and I both ordered the avocado toast with poached eggs. She asked for a matcha, but they said they were out. I also ordered an iced latte with oatmilk and almond syrup and a lotus biscuit croissant. I was able to grab one of the few tables while waiting so we were able to dine in. Unfortunately, due to how busy they were they only cleared the table and did not wipe it down from the previous customers. They brought out our food and drinks quickly. The iced latte was a bit disappointing. I felt the milk to espresso ratio was off as it was a very dark color and was bitter, when I looked around at other people's coffee mine was the only that color, so maybe it was just an issue with my drink specifically. The avocado toast was ok. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bread was thick and had a nice flavor. I didn't love the avocado, it didn't seem to have any seasoning or salt & pepper and reminded me of the pre-made avocado spreads that you can buy at the store and did not taste fresh. My favorite part of the meal was the croissant, it was very large and I love biscoff flavors, however, it was very expensive at a little over $7 for one croissant. I wasn't blown away by the meal and was a bit overwhelmed by how busy and crowded the place was. Maybe their more traditional dishes/drinks are better but I'm unsure I'll be back to try again. read more
