    Breakfast Chick Wich Purple Craze Hash
    Nick S.

    Katalina's is SO good! The pancake balls are so fluffy and filled perfectly with your filling of choice (all of them are great); all of their different breakfast sandwiches are huge and taste unbelievable! Their sweet n spicy bacon is a must and the purple potato hash is a great side for your breakfast. The vibes here are awesome and it's a great place to kick off your weekend or enjoy a nice chill brunch with some amazing food! Katalina's is definitely a go to place, and is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch stops in Columbus

    Really enjoyed this restaurant. Brought my sister and her husband and son for her birthday. Does not look like much from the outside but once you step inside it's very cool. There are markers at each table so you can color, draw, or write. Food was very good, everything felt like it had a little spice or kick to it. We shared the pork and egg sandwich and thank goodness cause it was huge. No way I could have eaten all that alone. We look forward to coming back Oh oh oh got a side of the sweet and spicy bacon and it was the best bacon I have ever had. It was DELICIOUS!!!!

    Famous for their stuffed pancake balls -- and they did not disappoint. Ooey-gooey apple pumpkin butter inside with a soft, chewy exterior = absolutely delicious (and super filling). Ordered 6, but I could only finish 3. The special spicy-sweet bacon? Not super special, but it paired well with the pancake balls. Tried their spicy soup -- definitely spicy, but didn't quite hit the spot. Also had the fresh-squeezed blood orange juice + watermelon lemonade. You could tell it was fresh, but the flavors weren't as sweet or refreshing (maybe just not in season). Overall: come for the pancake balls, skip the rest.

    Order first, then sit! This is your PSA- this is the system so folks can have a seat,eat, leave- making room for those ordering and waiting to eat. ( and management will aid you if someone sat then ordered!) Fun vibe, 80s ish music playing, friendly staff. Delicious food! It's a lot more that you think! You can get iced coffee, etc. Would go again!!

    Cute little cafe with characters. Pancake balls are very cute and good but not wow. Presentations are simple and fair. Cozy happy place. Nice warm service. Lovely lunch place. Charming but not a place to relax. Feels like to grab food and go.

    We went with a group to have breakfast but there wasn't enough indoor seating so that's why I'm giving it a four. It was cold outside otherwise we would have used the outside tables. The servers were very friendly and they really tried to fit all of us on the bar tables inside. The place was really cute. We ended up getting the pancake ball, dulce de leche to go and they were amazing. The pancake batter was the best. Tomorrow there will only be 2 of us so we are going to go try it again. If you do not have a big group or if the weather is nice I would definitely recommend it.

    Pancake balls
    Devon P.

    The food was delicious! However, it took so long for a us (2 entrees and 1 appetizer) to get our food. We had to wait almost an hour for our order. It's nice they have indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is nice and I like how you go to the counter to order before attempting to find a seat. I think the pancake balls could have had more filling. We got the Nutella ones and they were good, but I think having more filling would be better.

    Breakfast tacos and potatoes
    Jennifer H.

    Excellent food and service above expectations. The pancake balls live up to the hype, the sweet and spicy bacon was crispy and well balanced. Breakfast tacos were good and the potatoes were some of the best we've had, crisp and well seasoned. Free parking was nice too. We'll be back

    Pancake balls missing filling

    Really disappointing experience here. I'm a Columbus resident and have come here in the past and had great experiences. Stopped in this weekend with some out of town friends. Food was okay but took well over an hour to come out. My one friend cancelled his order an hour and a half after he ordered and asked for a refund (which they did give him). I know it's the weekend and they are jammed but over and hour for our food seems excessive. Patio and decent-sized parking lot are very nice and important to mention for those not familiar with this place. As far as the food went, I had the Katalinas Migas which was okay. The eggs were not really seasoned and tasted bland. The avacado toast was delicious, however. What was really disappointing is that the pancake balls my girlfriend ordered had almost zero Nutella in them (see pics). For the price point, I probably would not order either again in the future. Overall poor experience here, and I don't think I will be back.

    Avocado toast and soup
    Aubrie H.

    Weve heard amazing things about the food here and it did not disappoint. We visited on a weekday around 2pm and service was quick. We tried the Katalinas Latina sandwich which was so good. Loved how all the flavors worked together. We also tried the avocado toast with the holy tomole soup which was a perfect combination. All the great reviews are correct, this place is delicious.

    Pancake balls stuffed with pumpkin-apple butter
    Christina M.

    Katalina's has an incredible menu that makes it almost impossible to decide what to order, but there is one thing you absolutely have to have: the pancake balls. These were what we came for and they did NOT disappoint. They came out in an order of six with the most incredible sweet and spicy bacon on the side- we honestly wished we had ordered extra of this because it was so delicious. The pancake balls themselves were hot and fresh and just delicious- the pumpkin apple butter was the perfect filling, and it's nice that they sell it by the jar inside, too. The breakfast chickwich was massive- we were not expecting it to be so huge! It's hard to make a chicken sandwich stand out, but the coating on this one was really unusual and tasty. It was served with a side of purple potatoes that were just okay, they could have used more flavor. The sandwich bread was surprisingly delicious, too- it was super fresh. The breakfast tacos were the only thing that we found really disappointing. They're the first thing on the menu and listed as "award-winning" so maybe our standards were just high, but they were completely ordinary breakfast tacos that had very little flavor- kind of a bummer when there are so many other exciting-sounding things on the menu. The street corn it was served with was very good, though. Something to note- there are only a few tables inside and outside, and they are first come first served. You order your food at the counter and then go sit at a table. They will not let you hold a table with items while you're ordering, and I saw them move several people's belongings that they had put down to save a table. I fully support this policy but can see it being frustrating to some.

    Award winning breakfast tacos
    Cheryl L.

    A popular, corner spot to eat breakfast and brunch in Columbus. They said they have "award winning" breakfast tacos for $16. When you say, "award winning" you obviously have to order it. Now a CA gal knows her tacos. These tacos were good. You can taste the fresh made corn tortillas. Crema, cotija cheese and avocado made it stand out. I liked the chorizo and egg combo as well. It came with an ear of street corn which was good. Make sure to have clean hands because this could get messy. It is delicious. Here's my issue, my standards for tacos are pretty high coming from CA. While the taco was good, a $16 price point for 3 relatively small tacos in a paper vessel seems somewhat expensive, especially sitting outside in a cold patio. Maybe $12-13 and I would have been raving about this place. Surprisingly food is just as expensive in Columbus as it is in CA.

    Great service and I loved the vibe! I had the Nutella pancake balls and sweet and spicy bacon. The pancake balls aren't super amazing but still good and worth ordering again. The bacon was delicious as well as the coffee. Service was great and staff was friendly! How cute is the decor! They give you markers to leave your mark. I highly recommend and will return.

    How does curbside pick up work? Do you call in the order or go online & how long of a wait till the order is ready, please?

    Can I order a plate of bacon by itself?

    Absolutely! I don't know what they would charge you, but they are so friendly and accommodating there. Just ask. They'll take care of you.

The atmosphere was so peaceful that we completely lost track of time. I ordered the Cowboy Burrito, and hours later I'm still full. It was hearty without feeling overly heavy. The eggs were fluffy, the potato latkes added a nice texture, and the zesty cashew sauce pulled all the flavors together. I also ordered the strawberry matcha and asked if they could add vanilla. They were happy to customize it, and it was absolutely worth it. The strawberry and vanilla combination made it smooth, sweet, and refreshing. Before I left, I grabbed an iced Banana Bread Latte with oat milk and asked for it without ice so I could enjoy it the next day. It genuinely tasted like banana bread in a cup--the banana and cinnamon flavors came through perfectly. Great food, creative drinks, friendly staff, and such a relaxing vibe.

Peaceful indoor and outdoor seating offered (first come first served) with parking along Grandview Ave. I would definitely recommend this spot if you have any dietary restrictions, or are just looking for some truly creative food that will leave you feeling good after!

They're definitely bigger than the ones I've had before. There were so many flavors to choose from, including some really yummy and interesting combinations. I prefer donuts that aren't overly sweet, so I was debating between the Nutella and brown sugar. After chatting with the owner, I decided on the brown sugar, and I'm so glad I did!

The shop is open late--I actually noticed it last night and wanted to come back during the day to try it.

Probably the best banana donut I've tasted! The ube coffee smelled pleasant and didn't have an overpowering coffee flavor. So good! Even the matcha donut smelled really nice! I love that they didn't make the icing overly sweet to combat the earthy flavor of matcha powder. All this to say that you can't go wrong with any donut choice. We used the kiosk to order, which was convenient. The interior is cute too - definitely has the color scheme of a donut shop. We signed up for their rewards program because I have a feeling we'll be back fairly often. Lol. I noticed that some of the flavors in-store weren't listed on the website, so even more incentive to check out what new creations they'll have! They're a little more expensive than your typical donut shop, but considering these are mochi donuts with really unique flavors, I think the price is quite fair. Can't wait to go back and try their matcha drinks!
