I tried out a build your own breakfast sandwich that was filling & fresh. I definitely recommend stopping in here to at least try a latte if not a full meal!

It's located in the Banks Food Hall. The Food Hall was surprisingly empty which was strange. I'm used to seeing it crowded. But then again, we usually would go here on weekends. The worker was nice and friendly. I ordered the Grilled pineapple Latte and my sister ordered the Butter Beer Latte. Both were delicious! We walked around the riverfront with our drinks, spent quality time and enjoyed the day. I would like to return again and try other drinks to include the food items.

They ran out of most the bobas we wanted to try so we purchased the following: -Honeydew Melon with coconut jelly -Strawberry Taro with grass jelly -Peach Lychee fruit drink with lychee popping pearls. -Strawberry frappe All were pretty delicious. My Honeydew melon was pretty sweet even at 50%. I would have to try 30% next time. There was only one worker. The place is clean and bright. It's a very comfortable place for kids, for people to hang out and do homework.

This place is tucked away in a corner of Columbus, but it's worth putting on your radar. There's…read morenot a huge selection of beers, but they have variety in their list such that anyone can find something they'll like. They even have different flavored ("super pumped") seltzers, as well as pizza offered by the food truck posted outside. There is seating available both indoors and outdoors. I'm really sad I'm only visiting and not actually a local because the "Coming Soon" section of the menu highlighted some really cool fall drinks that I would love to try. The bartender was also highlighting some upcoming events they have, so I thought that must be a fun way they liven up the space as it was otherwise pretty empty when I went (on a Saturday evening).

This is a really huge cafe which offers indoor and outdoor dining. The European theme decor is inviting and truly comfortable. The restaurant does get very busy during peak times. The interior is clean and cozy. In 2018, I ordered a box of pastries and macarons to go. They were all delicious!! My second visit on 1/12/25 with my girlfriend, Kim. We had dined inside. She ordered SYR (Slow Your Roll) latte and a muffin (forgot what kind). She enjoyed hers. I ordered Chai latte and a croissant (forgot to take a pix). My chai was great. Our dining experience was lovely. I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu when I'm back in town.
