I love Tulip cafe!! As always the food is spectacular and you should really eat lunch here too. However on this particular visit my husband and I wanted to have dessert for breakfast; and so we did:) What we got: Carrot cake Blueberry latte Blueberry matcha latte Dubai chocolate baklava Time and care is put into every drink and food item and you can tell! I guess it's been a while-- the last time I was here they only had a few interior seats. I am so pleasantly surprised that they have expanded their seating as this will make this a great place for me to come work during the week!!! The staff are always very kind and friendly and make any day that much brighter! read more

We'd been hearing wonderful things about Tulip Cafe for years and just never seemed to be nearby when they were open. The stars finally aligned, though, and I'm so glad they did! We stopped in for dessert and coffee but will definitely be back to try more of the menu. They have already achieved the impossible- Turkish delight that is actually both delightful and Turkish! They have a variety of flavors and even little bags of the narnian classic. The coffee is excellent, both straight up and in the many creative blended drinks. The Dubai chocolate latte is a dessert in itself! read more

Finally got to visit Tulip Cafe in person! I had only tried some of their pastries at the farmers market so I was excited to try it. They have a small shop tucked in a plaza, and their display of desserts and Turkish delight was impressive! The honey cake was my favorite, although the layer of honey fell off on our journey home It was slightly sweet with a layers of cake, cream, and grainy powder that was really good. The hazelnut baklava was tasty as well, and it was covered with a sweet cream which made it wetter than Greek baklava. Since they specialize in Turkish desserts and drinks, we also tried the Turkish coffee. It's served hot and was brewed very quickly. Since Turkish coffee is prepared without filtering, we were surprised by the layer of grounds on the bottom, but it's part of the taste and uniqueness of the coffee. It is on the stronger side so it paired well with the sweet dessert. I would like to try the coffee with some cream or milk next time. There is very limited places to sit since the shop is small, but it was empty when we were there so the service was quick. read more

Simply wonderful... Tulip Cafe is one of my new favorite places. Delicious food, excellent Turkish Coffee, great Baklava and Turkish Delight, a lovely dining room, and welcoming friendly people. I've been to Turkey twice, and love the people, the food and chewy coffee. We have a few excellent Turkish lunch and dinner restaurants in Columbus - especially Cafe Istanbul in Dublin - but nowhere for breakfast, coffee, and pastries. They also do lunch - and it looks great. We can't wait to return. Come on, Columbus - this is a hidden gem and we need to go and REPRESENT...! Go, just go. You'll thank me... read more

I went here for a birthday coffee and it was absolutely lovely. The owner came out to talk to us and he was the kindest man. Admittedly I have had this in my drafts for a long time because I was here when they were brand new. However, the cafe is quaint and casual. The desserts are delicious. The service is impeccable. Definitely check it out. If you have nut allergies, please be careful and let them know. read more

Tulip Cafe is such a gem. The food is fresh and flavorful, the Turkish coffee and pastries are amazing, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Columbus and a place I'd happily come back to again. read more

I had them on my list awhile but kept forgetting to stop by. I finally did late morning. Not busy! I ordered the Turkish bagel and the blue sky latte which has vanilla and lavender. The bagel was fantastic! I'm not a huge feta person since it's sometimes overpowering but they didn't put too much in it. The bread was soft and almost croissant-like but def tasted freshly made. They do not have dairy free alternatives so I took one for the team and still went for the iced latte. Strong espresso which is how I like it! No stomach pain afterwards either. I'll be back to try another pastry! read more

Just west if the hayden/sawmill intersection is Hayden Run Plazza (on Hayden Rd is an amazing Turkish bakery/coffee shop that is locally owned by two women! Homemade cookies, cakes, flatbreads, turkish bagels along with a few sandwiches and hand held rolls (called Lahmacon) The coffee is great. Its the same as the espresso air coffee in Westerville (same family) Highly recommend! I like to support local small shops and womem owned places. The two families that own this are just so nice, too! Service is excellent. It makes it easy to want to be a regular here as it just is so very good. Its as simple as that. Come try it! read more

I love Turkish food but there's not much where I live. When I travel for work I always search to see what I can find. Tulip Cafe was worth going out of my way for. Delicious food, and a charming little spot to relax for a while read more

When learning this was our first time, the worker was so kind about explaining what everything was. And everything sounded so good! Sadly, we were just stopping by to get something quick before we headed out to lunch, so we were only able to try the pistachio baklava, but I would definitely come back to try the other food and desserts! The pistachio baklava was delicious! It was a little smaller than I expected but actually eating it, it was the perfect size. Perfect size to soothe my craving for sweets and perfect size for it to be not too sweet after eating the whole thing. read more

Tulip Cafe - Pistachio baklava - Turkish Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Just finished breakfast and boy, was it delicious! We both did the all you can eat breakfast bar. My husband and I split one tostone with shredded beef and an order of sweet plaintains with navo sauce and cheese. Both were delicious but I really don't think the plantains needed the cheese. We both had an arepa. My husband had shredded beef, grilled cheese, Venezuelan scrambled eggs, and cilantro sauce. He loved it and ate every bite. Mine had pork, grilled cheese, Venezuelan scrambled eggs, grilled cheese and cilantro sauce. I could not finish it, but I wanted to. The service was great. I almost under tipped because I saw on some reviews that there was an 28% tip added, so I added just a bit to the credit card total , but not much. Well, we then noticed that they did not add an 18$ tip. Fortunately, we noticed our error before leaving and were able to rectify it. She was just too nice to leave her high and dry! We will most definitely return. Gosh. I am so full... read more

Delicious. Beautiful ambiance and very friendly service. We will be back! Ismile was fantastic at the front and took great care of us.

I tried one of their savory pastries from a farmers market stand recently. It had spinach and I believe cheese inside. The staff was kind and gave me instructions on how to reheat it at home. It was pretty tasty but needed a little sauce or seasoning in my opinion. The dough was well-made and I enjoyed it. The table full of other goodies looked amazing. I am looking forward to visiting Tulip Cafe in person at some point soon so I can taste more of what they have to offer. If I visit the market again, I'll definitely be stopping over to try something else they have in stock. read more

Tulip Cafe - Turkish Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

No service. Had to literally walk up to the counter to get water for my table and the only other people there. Told them I need this meal to be gluten free a month ahead of time. And 2 hours before they agree that the plain rice I asked for instead of rice pilaf would work for them. They say they don't make gluten free bread. But will buy some. Yet still serve the glutenous bread and I have to wait for the bread I brought to be served.( I thought I was helping us both by bringing my own bread.) Even though I told them before buying the $100 dinner experience that gluten free bread is a delicacy and I'm looking forward to the experience I'm trusting will be allergy safe for me. THEN they serve me a soup, I assume after messaging them so much about my food allergies and how bad it effects me they would not even place in front of me! But no, it had regular wheat orzo on the bottom of the soup. This place has no concern or hospitality towards others. I was let down yet again, even though I took so many precautions. You suck read more

Delicious options! WONDERFUL PEOPLE! Amazing place and experience. So glad we have places like this in Cbus.

Good coffee. Good food. Good people. Great to have a Turkish cafe here. And it's nice inside.

What a perfect bakery! We were craving a Turkish coffee and Yelp pointed us here, and I'm so grateful for the discovery. Beautiful little space run by the warmest couple. We were greeted kindly and felt at home here. They make perfect Turkish coffees and have the best baked goods. I was happy to learn they have a menu with meals, too, not just bakery items. We got coffees and pistachio baklava and a meat-filled pastry to take home. Every single thing was perfect. Coffee was hot and strong, loved little bites of Turkish delight candies. Pistachio is my favorite and their baklava was chewy and melted in your mouth, almost like a perfect macaron. Absolute perfection! The owner had me try the newest treat out of Turkey -- a pistachio-rimmed coffee. That was so cool! I would definitely try it again if he adds it to the menu! I can't wait to come back and support this great local business! read more

Tulip Cafe started as a pop-up bakery selling their items at Worthington Farmers Market. Over the many years, as their wonderful baked goods spread by word of mouth, and the Turkish community continuing to grow, they were able to start this brick and mortar bakery along side their market events around town. Back in a rather nondescript strip plaza, the space is small. Two two-top tables inside. The lovely Turkish American gal working was a delight to converse with. I was surprised to see I could order off Tulip's (what seemed to be) lunch menu, so I tried the Lahmacun and warm chai. My chai was great - nothing special, but they use Oregon chai, which is sooo much better than Tao chai, so happy camper. Loved the Lahmacun, a Turkish "taco" of sorts, with minced beef and spices spread on a thin (crepe-like) handmade Turkish to flour tortilla. You unfold it, add the lettuce, onions, tomatoes on the inside, squeeze fresh lemon inside, roll it up, and eat in delight! I got a small pistachio baklava and their rice pudding to go. Turkish baklava is made with simple syrup, so it much lighter and all round better, imo. I'm very glad I finally made the trek to check out Tulip Cafe. read more

It's very close to where I've lived for 40 years; I just never noticed the little center it's in that is perpendicular to Hayden. Well, it was a glorious discovery. I already knew I liked Turkish flavors but this confirmed it. My wife had a delicious flat bread but I had Manti. You have to try it; it was one of the most robust dishes I ever had. It's mainly carry-out and catering. They need to fix that; there's room for a few tables. Here's what was fun: we saw several women back and forth and talking and laughing in the kitchen. You knew that they are women who are proud of their skills and are there to serve customers with the same pride they would when they feed their families and friends. This restaurant was not "dumbed down" food; it's what they feed their families. Go! Go! Eat! Enjoy! read more

I have been meaning to stop here after reading all the glowing reviews about the food. The space is small, but charming and very clean. The woman who helped me was just lovely and made recommendations of things to try, as there were menu items I was unfamiliar with. I ended up trying the Turkish coffee, pistachio baklava, and the flaky spinach borek. The coffee was hot and flavorful (just like I like it). The spinach borek had the flakiest dough and plenty of spinach. The baklava was incredible. It was not overly sweet and you could really taste the nuttiness of the pistachios. I look forward to returning to try more - everything in the case looked beautiful! read more

We have passed the Tulip Cafe booth at the farmers market several times and realized it was about time we tried some goodies! The large portion of golden baklava was what initially caught our attention, and then I noticed the Nutella cookies and we knew we needed some of those too!

We will be back for more Nutella cookies and baklava and to try some more of the delightful looking treats! read more

Tulip Cafe - Delightful baklava - Turkish Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Food was reasonable. I liked their Turkish tea but my husband wasn't too impressed with the Turkish coffee. The baklava was light, not too rich in flavor (3/5). The service is pretty good. They were very polite and even gave us Turkish delight samples to try. The ambience was pretty nice too. There are only two tables with two chairs each so seating is very limited. However, if you're just meeting a friend for a quick chat and tea this would be a reasonable place to visit. I also liked the cute cup and saucer set read more

Had a really great experience at Tulip Cafe this afternoon. I had been wanting to try Turkish food, specifically Manti and Icli Kofte. Both were absolutely delicious and will definitely be back to enjoy them again. The owner was so kind and talked to us and explained a lot about traditional Turkish cuisine, and we tried several other things, and loved all of them. First time trying Turkish coffee after our meal, with a bit of Turkish delight, and it was fantastic. Would definitely recommend trying Tulip Cafe! read more

Super adorable Turkish cafe that is tucked away in the corner of the strip mall. Dropped in on an early weekend morning looking for some caffeine and treats and was pleasantly surprised to see an amazing selection of yums. Everything in the picture was amazing: got a pistachio baklava, rose Turkish delight, and a potato borek (sadly not pictured because it was safely tucked in my stomach by then). Huge fan of the borek - it was nicely spiced and flakey - they even toast it up for you so it's ~extra~ flakey goodness. I'm also usually not a huge Turkish delight person but I was tempted by the beautiful display and the rose flavor was delish and not super sweet, going perfectly with the coffee. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Tulip Cafe - Pistachio baklava, rose/pistachio Turkish delight, and Turkish coffee. - Turkish Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I have seen this shop many times when getting my nails done a few doors down. I decided I wanted to give it a try and placed a to-go order to pick it up when I was finished. When I arrived I was surprised that my food was being warmed up, usually places will just give you items as they are in the case but it was such a nice touch. I ordered the potato borek, spinach borek, simit, and a piece of pistachio baklava. The food was so good, everything was so delicious and delicate. I shared it with my mother and she loved it as well. I will always be stopping here after my nail appointments to take goodies home from now on. So happy this little gem opened up! read more

I still haven't made it to the actual shop, but I found their stall at the Clintonville farmers market, and the pastries I got are delicious. The Nutella cookie thing in particular was lovely. The staff was super friendly and open about recommending things, and apparently one of the family members is opening a coffee shop in Westerville that I will have to check out. I still want to go to the actual location for Turkish coffee, but it's also great to know that they're at the farmers market on a pretty regular basis. read more

We went here for Mother's Day, and it was DELICIOUS! We ordered a few different dishes for our family to share. We were able to eat outside since the weather was beautiful. The inside has two 2 person tables. Everything was wonderful--even our kids loved the dishes. We had 3 different baklavas for dessert. My favorite was the pistachio baklava. Services was THE BEST I've had in Columbus in a long time. We also got Turkish tea--which she kindly split between when we had our savory and sweet dishes. Our kids asked to go back soon--definitely will! read more

Real home-made, not like others. Real gem. I had my own cafe for a few years and I'm telling you guys, this place is absolutely out of regular American food pattern. And beyond the small ethnic food pattern too, i.e. it's neat and clean. Feels like at home. Like at home in a good day. read more

The gentleman who sold us these breads at Tulip Cafe's stand at the Clintonville Farmers Market gave us the suggestion as to how to use his breads. He loved our reaction to his ideas. I only wish he could see the reaction on our faces when we got home and made the sandwiches! The bread was filled with delicious cheeses and when toasted in the oven the became crisp on the outside while maintaining a fluffy bread on the inside! I will definitely go back to buy more and have his cafe on my list of restaurants to try! read more
