    Lasagna
    Aubrie H.

    Every time I'm at the North Market I have to stop here. So so delicious! Food is always so fresh and the flavors are amazing. Ordered the lasagna which is my personal favorite and the bbq jerk Bella. Absolutely worth a stop when you're at the North Market.

    As a person who eats vegetarian with a splash of seafood here and there, I'm always on the hunt for a new place to try that caters to my specific style of diet. I had heard of Willowbeez before they had a pop-up inside the North Market but now that they're in the North Market, it was easy for me to find them and give them a try. You'll find them in the space that used to be filled by Pistacia Vera for so many years. I believe this is the northwest corner of the market. They totally made the space their own with bright green splashes of color and a full on kitchen in the back. The ladies working the day of my visit were awesome and honestly were the star of the experience. They offered suggestions, shared the daily specials, and made me smile. I ended up ordering the nelly-deli wrap with fries, a side of their mac, and a drink. While they prepared my meal I walked around the market to people-watch and see what other changes had been made since my last visit. By the time I finished my loop they had my food ready to go. I'll start with the mac because it was my favorite. This is not your typical vegan mac and cheese. This is gooey and packed with flavor. The small portion was plenty enough with the other food but I could have just ordered them and been totally satisfied! The wrap on the other hand, wasn't my favorite. I think mainly because it was something I could have easily made at home and I'm a big texture person. I needed something wrapped up in there with a crunch. In my eyes you can't hardly ever go wrong with fries so I'll just say that I ate plenty of them! I'll be back to try other things and when I do, you'll bet I'll update my review. The people here are awesome and they're catering to an often neglected group of eaters. They helped me feel seen at the market for sure!

    Great food and the owner will explain it to you also. It's a great lunch. The No fish fry and the rich boys was excellent. Really everything on the menu was great. Just ask him to direct you. All the vendors at the North market eat there. The line was long with vendors. What does that tell you. Even the police officer said to me "I'm not vegan but I eat all this stuff" . I'm just saying.

    This food was FANTASTIC! I ordered the bbjerk bella. They had run out of cornbread, so I was given two sides instead. I went with the Mac&plz and the curry cabbage. The entire eating experience was phenomenal. I've never had vegan food this good.

    After eating here l'm convinced, vegan does taste better. I'm a meat and seafood kind of girl but my Co-worker suggested Willowbeez SoulVeg....the taste and flavors took me down to Louisiana. I had the "Rich Boy". Stop on by and you too can experience the wonderful flavors. The staff was so friendly and explained the menu answering all my questions. Don't forget the side of cornbread.

    I'm not a vegan nor a vegetarian, for that matter. I do, however, know that vegetables are great for you. So I decided to check this spot out in the North market on a whim. When I arrived at the counter, I was greeted expeditiously. I started at the wrong end, and I was guided on how to go about placing my order ever so kindly by one of the staff. She explained to me what everything was and went into making it. She even explained to me all the fan favorites. I made my selection, and I definitely must say that I was delighted. I had the fries, and they were some of the best fries that I've had here in central Ohio thus far. I also obtained the cabbage, which I completely destroyed, and then returned for seconds. I also got the soup of the day, and it was on point. I didn't think I would like this place, but I did. You should check it out.

    This place is so damn good. I am so happy it exists. I am moving to Columbus soon and I can't wait to go here more often. First few times I went I got the rich boi, which is delicious. My partner got some other special, I forget, but he loved it. Today I went and got the Mac n pls. Soooo good. I eat a ton of vegan mac and this is its own top tier. Walked back and ordered a second, large. Delicious if you are a vegan or not. Highly recommend!!!

    Check out Willowbeez SoulVeg in North Market, you won't regret it! The soulful aromas permeated the air as I stood drooling over the menu. Everything sounded wonderful, but as a visitor to the Columbus area, I knew I had one shot to see what this place was all about. I decided to ask the man behind the counter for his input and without hesitation, he said go for the Rich Boi or the No Fish Fry, but you got to try the Mac. He held up a spoon and offered to let me try the Mac, I should have taken him up on his kind offer as now that I'm finished, I'm longing for just one more bite of that delicious, creamy, Cajun-spiced, heavenly goodness. The Rich Boi did not disappoint either - a soft, airy roll with perfectly seasoned and battered fried oyster mushrooms, complimented by peppery arugula, savory remoulade, and fresh tomato. This food is prepared with genuine soul and passion - it's evident from the first bite!

    I went to the grand opening of Willowbeez SoulVeg at the North Market. Initially, they were located at The Hills Market, where traffic was not as active. I got the vegan PoBoy which had fried oyster mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, and a vegan sauce that reminded me of a remoulade. The sandwich was really good and flavorful. The line was extremely long as it was the main attraction that day. Their placement in the market will help them as well to get people to try their food. I will be back to try other dishes!

    I am so thrilled to see Willowbeez is now at Norrh Market!! I first fried their chili, vegan Mac n cheese and cornbread at their pop up at Maroon Box Park. This is vegan food done right! Seasoned perfectly, enticing and tasty menu options and excellent customer service! (Yes I'm a stickler ) I live in NY now but every time I visit, I try to get my hands on some Willowbeez SoulVeg. I look forward to my next visit home to get my fix! Check them out in North Market!

    This is a nice vegan place in the north market. Service was great. The food was the best. They use mostly whole foods but do have a plant based meat and vegan cheese. We loved everything we ordered.

    The corn muffins are very popular. I like the dinner menu. The Mac, corn muffins, breakfast sandwich, and the all in wrap.

We…read morespent over $80 on a to-go order that included two Gina's Gem, a big cheese pizza, and a salad. The pizza arrived cold but was still edible. Unfortunately, the Gina's Gem was nothing like what was advertised. I was expecting warm, crusty bread with a roasted cheese dip on the side so you could tear pieces of bread and dip them into the cheese. Instead, the cheese had already been spread directly onto the bread and toasted together. Because of that, the bread lost the texture you would expect--it wasn't crusty or dippable at all. It ended up soft, almost soggy, and the cheese was baked onto the bread rather than being a dip. The whole appeal of the dish was supposed to be the warm bread with the roasted cheese to dip into, and that part was completely missing. Included with the bread was a hot honey that missed the mark on being "hot" and some kind of jam. These options just made everything even more soft....which should have been impossible. The salad was actually the best part of the meal - even though it was a bit spicy. I've always had good experiences here in the past, so this was a big letdown--especially for the price. I just wish the to-go version of the dish matched how it's described, or that expectations were set correctly when ordering. Unfortunately, this experience made me lose all trust in ordering from here again. I can't believe we waited until exactly 3pm (when they opened) to order this.... At the very least the pizza should have been hot.

We were instructed to either order online or at their kiosk. That kind of threw me for a loop and would've been an issue except when that food came out, I didn't even care. It was THAT good.

Every single plate was hitting. The steak was cooked exactly how I asked, seasoned well, and actually had flavor all the way through. The lobster ravioli was rich but not heavy, and the salmon was flaky and done right, not dry at all. What really made it though was the service. They were attentive without hovering, kept the drinks coming, and made it feel like a special night without being extra about it. For a birthday dinner, that matters. If you're going, don't go playing small. Order what you actually want. It's one of those places where you lean into the experience and enjoy it.
