“ This place is delicious - amazing food and pastries. We especially love that they have vegan options. The only thing better than the food is the kind staff. ”
“ The food here is always so good and service is great as well! Lots of seating to choose from and the chicken club is amazing. Whatever the dressing is that they put on their salad needs to be bottled and sold, it is so addicting! ”
“ Quite literally the best food you will find on The Ohio State University campus. Fantastic vegetarian/vegan options as well as friendly staff and a pleasant dining area make for a good place to meet, dine, or spend time. Coffee cannot be taken out from the cafe, but is refillable within the cafe area itself. Homegrown herbs and some vegetables are also a likeable addition. Try the soups, try the sandwiches, but also try breakfast. Just try it all. ”
“ WOW. I got the Muenster grilled cheese with a side salad, the simplest meal, and was BLOWN AWAY. The grilled cheese was crispy, gooey, and had some kind of blackberry jam on it and it was just really excellent. Even the side salad was delicious. Definitely recommend!! ”
“ As a music student, having this non-campus cafe so close to the music building is absolutely vital. Staff is amazing. The manager remembered my name after just one encounter. Great flavors served with a smile, exactly where I need it to be. Just can’t be beat!!! ”
“ Compared to the rest of on campus dining this is basically a Michelin star restaurant. My jam and cheese sandwich was excellent, my salad was crunchy and had a good flavour, and my chocolate banana mocha bread tasted fresh and solid. It's more or less and average cafe, but with a very charming atmosphere. Being located in the Wex makes it a great place to relax and study too. The only warning I have is that they don't take Dining Dollars and can get a little pricey, so some students may find it a little much. ”
“ Definitely a hidden gem on campus! Highly recommend checking this spot out for just a quick cup of coffee, some breakfast, or to check out their great lunch options. This cinnamon roll was equally beautiful and delicious. The Munster grilled cheese is also AMAZING!! I guarantee I will be back to try it again! My only complaint is that they don’t take swipes or dining dollars for students and only take BuckId. ”
“ Nice service, food, and beverages. Recommend the almond cookie as a dessert, the picture below is the Korean veggies with tofu. Sometime it gets loud and it becomes hard to study or focus especially during peak hours. ”
