I'm hesitant to go all in on recommending things, so if I shout out anything here it's because I believe in it wholeheartedly. These are some of my favorite spots in the greater Columbus area.
Great atmosphere and even better pastries.
Fox in the Snow
These donuts are the absolute best. Hands down. Nothing comes close. You need to come here in the fall for the pumpkin donuts and the cider slushies.
Jacquemin Farms Bakery & Cafe
I would eat here every single day. The pad thai is my absolute favorite but I'm also a huge fan of the chicken avocado sandwich and the fish sandwich. It's all exceptional. Other locations are great too - especially the ones that have the sweet potat...
Northstar Café in Uptown Westerville
Amazing classic donuts. Hard to beat.
Schneider's Bakery
You think you'll regret this meal but you won't. It's too good. It's so delicious you don't care about how bad it could be for you. SO so so good. And the potatoes are the stuff dreams are made of.
WARIO'S BEEF AND PORK
THE BEST ITALIAN IN THE COLUMBUS AREA. Get the gnocchi and savor the little pillows of heaven. The pasta is homemade, guys. It's amazing.
La Tavola
I'm VERY picky about my Greek food, but they actually do a great gyro. I really enjoy the food here.
Koble Grill
This food is EXCEPTIONAL. Everyone I know who's had it is immediately hooked. They have the BEST hummus. BEST EVER.
Lavash Cafe
Contender for my favorite food in this entire city. The chicken is probably the best I've ever had. Unique distinct flavors and you can customize your sandwich or salad to your liking.
