I love coming here on a little day trip. Bells bakery is a must, you have to try all of their fresh baked goods. There's also a grocery store, bubble tea, and some restaurants
Japan Marketplace
Not your typical Mexican place, but they have the best and most interesting tacos. You can get a taco with mac and cheese, or a teriyaki chicken taco.

Ravello's Coffee Catering & Mobile Baristas - Columbus, Ohio
The best macarons in Columbus. Be prepared to wait in line and come early because they will sell out! They also have delicious coffee and an adorable space.
Pistacia Vera
They say they have the best cinnamon roll… and they mean it. They also have really good matcha, espically if you add their homemade lavender syrup.
Kitties Cakes
The goey butter cake flavor is to die for. I love this ice cream place because they have unique flavors and they always taste amazing. I also like that they make their waffle cones in the store, so it always smells amazing!
