This is a clean, neat very safe feeling convenience store with fairly reasonable prices and a nice selection. The Pakistani food is a definite 5 star for a convenience store and would be a 4+ star in its own right. The proprietor Nadeem is very friendly and keeps the store neat and clean. The Pakistani food he serves is delicious. It's very spicy, warm and rich in flavor. The samosas are outstanding and the Tandoori style chicken and sides are rich in flavor. The food is very fresh for a convenience store environment. Food is served to go, but there are tables down the hall and outside. Definitely give this place a try. The Pakistani food is served 11 am to 2 pm Tuesday through Friday.

CVS Pharmacy

Now that it's built out and new, I really have no negatives as a customer. Everyone at the pharmacy has been attentive and helpful. I would t say anyone is over-the-top friendly, but that is almost never my expectation. They've always been professional and kind enough when I pick up prescriptions inside or at the drive-thru pickup window. I hope this continues to be my experience and I don't have to update with a less-than review!

This is a very busy pharmacy in a densely populated neighborhood. Staff is often harried, "on the…read morerun," and "in the weeds." Customer service reflects this. If everything runs smoothly and you're the sort who's not looking for a friendly face, there's no problem. But if something goofs up (the tablet doesn't work, etc), you can expect a whole lot of attitude. CVS could remedy this with more staff.

Super handy to have here. Lots of people living and working nearby, big garages all around, and a decent selection of food and even home goods here. Prices, well, a little high because it's downtown. But, a few spot checks show they're not much higher than Kroger on particular items, which says more about Kroger, I guess. I got a juice because I was thirsty; reasonably priced and refreshing. Clerk was friendly and helpful. She said "it's Dollar General- but better!" Place was clean, plenty of natural light, not busy on a weekday morning.

The fact that these only cost a little more than at Kroger tells me something about Kroger's prices...

I believe they added a sauce to the sandwich that made it more uniquely flavored (I would've rather not had the sauce). Another downside was the cost, I believe the sandwich was $12 which was pretty high a breakfast fast casual sandwich. However, its size and flavor partially offset it. I could see this becoming a once-every-few-months favorite if I lived near the area.

Most recently, I came to pick up a cake for Father's Day and also stopped in to try a couple drinks and a matcha roll. The interior is clean with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly. Come early if you want a bigger selection of bread and pastries! I came around 6 pm on a Saturday and most breads were sold out but there were still plenty of cakes left. I ordered the iced matcha latte and iced black sesame lattes (both with oat milk). After mixing, the matcha latte was a light shade of green and pretty much just tasted like milk which was kind of disappointing. The black sesame latte on the other hand, had a nice strong black sesame flavor. The mango and strawberry smoothies were super refreshing especially since it was hot outside. I actually saved the matcha roll for 2 days later and it still tasted really fresh and yummy.

I RARELY give five star reviews. This place has…read moreconsistently been one of the best in Columbus. It is a fusion of French in Japanese and the techniques and flavors show that. Throughout the years, they have had a variety of different offerings, but they're always the same staples, which is their incredible baked goods, their cakes and sweet cake rolls, a small variety, sandwich, sandwiches and fun drink drinks. They currently have sweet crêpes, but they used to have savory who wants as well back in the day. This entire plaza is an Asian heaven, and I like to bring people from out of town to it because you can literally spend hours in this area. As you can tell for my photos, they are always this busy. The place itself is nice and clean, and the staff is friendly. I'm not a sweet person at all, so I like that this place has unique offerings and some savory ones too. I recommend the mango cake, the sweet butter rolls that literally taste like a slightly sweeten butter inside of a soft pillow bread, and for you to take a loaf of bread home as well. Pro tip: later in the day, the offerings from this bakery are half off at Tensuke Market. This place has been voted as one of the best bakeries in the country & we have it in our own backyard. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out.

There wasn't much sparkling going on, but it was pleasant and fruity. I would say mostly black currant, though the label also lists hibiscus, raspberry, and "black carrot." A handy little stop. Had what I needed and wanted, and more besides.

The tagines are simple, serviceable, beautiful, and while not cheap per se, much cheaper than at a snooty kitchen store like Sur la Table or Williams & Sonoma. Plus, if you're going to cook Moroccan food, use a tagine made by Moroccans, not Le Creuset.
