Returned today and the dude with an attitude was working and he was extremely condescending and mean spirited at the thought of be bringing my bike inside. I asked if it was against the cafe's policy and he said it was just 'common sense.' Whether or not the cafe has an official position on bringing your own bike inside is not the picture i'm painting, I'm just really disturbed by the condescending attitude and self righteousness for wanting to bring my own bike inside for safe keeping. I was honestly shocked by the treatment. Incidentally, the guy has an accent and long hair.

I discovered this spot while doomscrolling on Instagram and suggested to a coworker that we pay them a visit during an upcoming coworking day. It was an easy sell and we made our way there on a rainy Friday afternoon. The moment I walked through the door the vibrant shades of blue and pink brightened my mood and I knew we made the right choice. Their menu is really fun... literally it says, "Super Fun Coffee" on it. I'm a sucker for a good seasonal creation so I went with the "Buy Myself Flowers" with oat milk. It has an elderflower, lavender, jasmine syrup in it along with lemon and orange blossom. The floral notes certainly shined through. Not subtle either, but not too in your face. I also ordered a baklava pastry sticky bun kind of thing and oh wow, it was amazing. Honey and pistachio goodness out the wazoo. The coffee and pastry together were seriously magical. A few extra things to note... parking is available in the very back of the building. While the space is on the smaller side, they do open up Natalie's space for extra seating. They close at 2pm only to later open back up as a bar. I did have issues with the wifi while I was there and ended up needing to use my hotspot. Not a deal breaker but good to know if you're planning on bringing your laptop. Lastly, the staff were super sweet, gave recommendations, and brought your coffee to your table, which is always a lovely touch. I'll be back!

Royal Flamingo is tucked away in Natalie's Pizza and there is plenty of parking in the back. The decorations are so cute, especially as a flamingo lover. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty busy but the line moved quickly enough and they had extra seating in Natalie's (not as cute as in royal flamingo lol but I appreciate that there was plenty of seating!). I ordered the seasonal Buy Myself Flowers latte and a mushroom and leek pastry. The latte was delicious, and the syrup was the perfect amount of floral and sweet. The flowers on top were also super cute! The pastry was also delicious and I believe they are all sourced from Three Bites Bakery! It is a little pricey, but super fun for a weekend splurge.

My visit to the Italian Village location had highs and lows. It can get no higher than their Tomato…read moreTart. I don't even like tomatoes like that, but this version was eye popping good. The flaky tart was great, and they seasoned the tomatoes to perfection. Even after inhaling one of them in a single bite, the tomato remnants on the base of the tart still delivered outstanding flavor. The Danish submerged in Everything seasoning with chive cream cheese was a good wingman for the Tart. Definitely was a flavor bomb of sodium if you like your food salty. The low came from the much heralded Souffléd Egg Sandwich. Ignorance was not bliss for me as the dish did not include the bacon that it was supposed to have... but I didn't know that it was supposed to have bacon until my wife told me after I ate it. It was definitely the missing ingredient, literally and figuratively, because the rest of the dish couldn't justify the hype. I am pleased to say that after making them aware of this after the fact, they refunded my purchased which I truly appreciated.

**5 stars for the milk bread**…read more FUN FACT -- Tous Les Jous is owned by a South Korean food conglomerate group (same concept as Paris Baguette) and this is a bakery with Asian and European baked goods. I visited Tous Les Jours for the first time on Memorial Day (May 2026) at the Columbus location. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Monday. Surprisingly, they had lots of options available even with my late arrival because most bakeries run out of items quickly. They sell croissants, cakes, milk breads, macarons, drinks, etc. MY ORDER ($18.95 total for 4 items) -- Twist Donut ($2.95), Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50), Almond Croissant ($4.75), and a Whole Milk Loaf bread ($6.75). 1. Twist donut ($2.95) - sweet but not overly sweet. It tasted just like a regular twist donut that you'll find at other donut shops. 2. Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50) - good. Perfect savory option for breakfast or lunch. Soft and buttery bread base. I think $3 would have been a better price but the bread roll was good. I ate this in my car before driving back to Cleveland. It held me over until I got home. 3. Almond Croissant ($4.75) - my favourite item - buttery with some almond cream or paste inside. Topped with almonds. I don't like creamy things at all and I didn't realize that this croissant had a cream inside until I opened it but the cream is very light and it is more of a spread than a cream. 4. Whole Milk Loaf Bread ($6.75) - Fresh and soft. Definitely my other favourite item. This was all gone within a day, that's how good it was. Buttery goodness. The best bread. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Tous Les Jours and I hope to visit their Cleveland location soon. I ordered takeout so I didn't sit in but they have some tables and chairs available. I'll definitely be back if I'm close by the area again. Tous Les Jours means everyday in French and I wish I could visit them everyday...haha. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 101/250 total reviews in 2026 - 942 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

I wanted to try them all. I couldn't help wonder if they tasted as good as they looked. While I only got a coffee this visit because I was there on business, I later when back and picked up a handful of pasties -both sweet and savory to try. I thought they were good, but not amazing. The Ham and cheese pastry could use more ham and cheese. For the price, I expected more. Overall they were good and might be a nice treat for an office but I'm not sure I found the value in them overall. As for service, i stood at the cake counter for quite some time. I could see people working behind the glass but no one made an effort to have someone come help me. I almost walked away a couple of times. Service wasn't very attentive or urgent to help. Personally, I need more than just a pretty looking pastry. Service and taste count.

It was well worth the 10+ minute walk north from the Convention Center in the early morning to get a strong cup of coffee. The baristas are friendly and can guide you on the different options if needed. Although the interior space is cute and has a nice vibe, the space is limited and not ideal for large groups (OK for 2 people). This cafe is located on High Street just north of the bright orange "Fomo" sign. I enjoyed making this part of my early morning ritual of exercise, walking in Goodale Park, and getting a cup of caffeinated bliss before starting each day of the conference. Thanks for providing a friendly "wake up" in the morning before a full day of conference sessions.
