Similar concept to chipotle (build your own lines) but with Mediterranean style food. Also SO much better quality.
Brassica at Easton Town Center
Jeni's originated in Columbus so while in town you have to stop in for a scoop. There are several locations around town but the Easton spot is nice so you can eat and shop!

A possible hidden gem at Easton is the Nordstrom cafe. Located on their second floor is a restaurant. Perfect for a lunch or dinner. My favorite: the skinny fries with olive aioli dip!
