Conveniently (or not so much) beside the KidX play area, we stopped into Phyllis Ann's for some ice…read morecream and lemonade after some solid play time. My 4yo hasn't expanded very far beyond vanilla with sprinkles and rainbow sherbet and today she chose rainbow sherbet. She tasted the sherbet a 9/10 because she forgot to order sprinkles (definitely customer error). You order at the front counter and they have a large menu of ice cream in cups, cones, shakes and Sundays as well as coney dogs, sodas and walking tacos among other items. I chose a pineapple lemonade but they had an array of flavors. The pineapple lemonade was lemonade with a pineapple puree topping that had to be mixed in. Even after mixing I didn't get much pineapple flavor but the puree did make it's way through the straw from time to time. After ordering you pick up your order at the back counter. The music was quite loud, although I do enjoy jazz. One scoop of sherbet in a cup and a 16oz flavored lemonade was just under $12 so not really a great deal but we had time to kill and I promised ice cream if she left the play area without a total meltdown.

Southern flavor, family warmth, and community pride -- all in one stop!…read more On one of the busiest days at Polaris, we found this gem of a locally owned Black business and were welcomed like family the moment we walked in. The owners personally showed us around, explained their packaged box deals, and treated us to samples of heavenly strawberry cake and bold, aromatic spice blends. It's rare to get this kind of personal service, and knowing these recipes come straight from a family tradition makes it even more special. They've brought authentic southern flavors to the community in such an approachable way. Proud to support them, and I can't wait to enjoy everything we took home!

Her menu is versatile and she's happy to work with you if you have another idea. We hired them to stay and work our event and were grateful to have them. They were attentive, neat, clean, interactive and did a wonderful job. The quality of food was top notch and the flavor combinations delicious. Our guests raved about the catering! I would highly recommend Foodsmiths Catering and Chef Gretchen to anyone looking for a caterer. Photos included were taken by Project Joy Photography.

Cakes by Kat Bake Shop makes delicious (and adorable!) treats that they sell at the Westerville…read moreFarmer's Market and by special order/request. I picked up their cookie decorating kit mid-pandemic. Kat was fantastically helpful at arranging a pick-up time - even when I didn't check my email until the night before. She said I could pick up the order at her location - or at the Westerville Farmer's Market as well. (I think she also does home delivery within Dublin right now!) The kit was so adorably packaged including a little ribbon, my name, and instructions. Unlike other cookie-making kits I've picked up in the past, all of the icing packets were also entirely clean (no frosting residue on the outsides), and the cookies were wrapped in two-pack packets to optimal freshness. I decorated the cookies two days later, and the cookies were still fresh. We're going on four days after pick-up, and they're still great to be eating and taste completely fresh. Interestingly enough, Cakes by Kat Bake Shop uses almond cookies and royal icing. I'm really used to cookie decorating kits including buttercream frosting. If you're used to buttercream, royal icing will behave a bit differently, but it also makes it possible to "fill out" the entirety of a cookie with frosting easily compared to buttercream's firmer consistency. It also has a different taste. If you have someone who doesn't like super-sweet treats, I recommend making them one of these cookies with minimal frosting. The almond cookie is designed to be "less sweet" while the majority of sugar-goodness comes from the royal icing. So you can easily make "cookie treats" for those in your family who don't have a huge sweet tooth. Fantastic experience with Cakes by Kat, and I'll likely be ordering more of her cookie decorating kits as the seasons change.

Our guests had their choice of made-to-order omelettes, waffles, the traditional breakfast items plus handmade pastries and juices. Everyone had a great brunch, as Chef Melissa's food was prepared quickly, was delicious and made everyone feel like she was part of the family. They were prompt, cleaned up everything after and worked within our budget. Thanks Chef!!

What a fun surprise…read more Rebel on Rye is Kira's pop-up kitchen inside Rehab Tavern, and it absolutely delivered. I ordered the vegetarian option, mushrooms and dumplings over mashed potatoes, and it was everything comfort food should be. The vegetables were cooked perfectly with a delicious kale carrot and celery base, the gravy was rich and flavorful, and the mashed potatoes tasted homemade. This wasn't a token vegetarian option, it was clearly created with the same care as everything else on the menu. The dirt pudding was pure nostalgia in a cup, complete with crushed Oreos and gummy worms, and somehow managed to taste even better than I remembered from childhood. You can tell this menu comes from someone who genuinely loves feeding people. If you know Kira from behind the bar at Rehab Tavern, you'll recognize that same warmth and personality in the food. Creative, comforting, and ridiculously delicious. I can't wait to see what Rebel on Rye comes up with next. Columbus needs more pop-ups like this!

Ah, the Fawcett Center. I used to work here 35 years ago, in the auditorium, as my work study job…read more We had events all the time. WOSU was based here, in the end section by the auditorium. There was a hotel, and a fancy restaurant. I learned a lot, and goofed off a lot. Today, the building has been renovated. No more hotel- athletic offices I think. No big restaurant- a small cafe, where the hotel's front desk was. No more WOSU. It's very clean and new, inside and out. Doesn't look like the auditorium gets used much, and the WOSU end looks empty. Of course, that is my impression from a quick nostalgia visit. They might be busy on weekends. There are conference rooms and meeting areas. Looks like they do catering for events. Hopefully the space is being used enough to keep it going. I saw a few students and staff, on a weekday. I've heard you can park here for events at the Schott. Be careful- all the parking is pay or permit.
