    Feeling under the weather, but still had to go pick up the kid. I figured a restorative was in order. And when I saw they had not just sausage gravy, but turkey sausage gravy, and it wasn't far from my route, I was off. Parking is a little weird. You can park in the CVS lot, and apparently the Jiffy Lube lot next-door, but I wasn't sure about that and while it is the closest one, I chose CVS for safety. You can't go in the back door of the restaurant, although you can come out of it at the end. It is larger inside than I expected, and nicer, though not fancy. Order with a code or at the counter. Super friendly, patient, efficient service. Minimal, because you order at the counter and they bring it out, but still really good. They have coffee, and have other drinks, like Boylan's pop. I got a macchiato, which was in a small, old school coffee cup, not the giant type you get nowadays. But that's plenty; I'm trying to cut back on caffeine. I got the turkey sausage gravy and biscuits breakfast. I don't think I've ever had it with turkey. I've used ground turkey in chili and spaghetti sauce and what not, but never seen this. And I figured that was also an indicator that it was house made. It came out fast, and it was amazing. Big hearty biscuits, a lot of gravy with big chunks of meat, lightly seasoned. And there's hot sauce on the table, which is always a good sign. I chose a fruit cup instead of potatoes because, you know, man does not live on sausage gravy and biscuits alone. It was ripe fruit. Not under ripe like you get too often; it was perfectly ripe. And the eggs were cooked to my spec. I had thought about getting a side. I mean, Mexican corn, Brussel sprouts, more that sounds good. But this was plenty, and I was fairly hungry. I'll be back for the other stuff. Very reasonably priced for very good food. Fast, at an off time. I will definitely be back.

    This is a cute little cafe across from Nationwide Children's Hospital. I've gone about 3 times only for lunch as I now work right around the corner. The decor is bright, filled with a lot of plants, and it's clean with ample seating. The service is always great in my opinion with friendly young ladies working the register, and they bus your table afterwards if you dine-in. They offer a variety of healthy food options, salads, wraps, etc. My only gripe is that the food just isn't very flavorful. The first meal I tried there was the crispy chicken wrap. It had one thick very tough piece of chicken that wasn't seasoned much. Yesterday I tried the turkey avocado salad and it also didn't blow me away. Even the bacon they use doesn't have much taste! Didn't think that was even possible! All in all, I'd recommend them if you just happen to be in the area wanting a healthier option.

    I have been wanting to try this place. We brought the family in today. We got a chicken Fajita omlette, French toast and kids turkey sandwich and French toast. The lavender latte was also good. We will be back. Overall good service, food and value.

    I really need to start coming to this place more often! I tried the iced latte again and this time it was better. But I really loved the hot honey chicken bowl! Everything is so fresh and healthy, but flavorful too. I was able to take home leftovers for a second meal. Highly recommend.

    I've had their food twice, and it was delicious both times! Definitely a healthier option for lunch :)

    What a cool vibe this former gas station puts off. Great people, good atmosphere. But even more…read moreimportantly is the insanely good food that comes out of it. Let's start with the pancake balls. The signature dish is absolutely out of this world. You can get them filled with Nutella, dulce de leche or Apple/Pumpkin butter. These little morsels of goodness are worth the trip alone. We also had the Pueblo BLT Sammy with the sweet and spicy bacon (that's right this is a thing that must be tried to be believed). This sandwich was so good and don't sleep on the homemade citrus aioli - outstanding. Our table also had the hens in a basket. Eggs cooked perfectly and the bread had a sweetness to it that made it just right. OUTSTANDING FOOD! And we will be back

I have never had okonomiyake but now I have gotta try making it at home. White and purple potatoes in the okonomiyake flour with corn, cabbage and topped with a perfectly over-medium egg and delicious piri-piri and citrus aioli (with a side of vegetarian sausage patties) and hibiscus tea! Exactly what I was in the mood for and perfectly cooked. The hot vanilla tea was good also- Its a bit noisy inside but I'd like to try more food.

We started with a Hot Apple Cider, topped with maple-infused whipped cream and cinnamon, along with a couple of hot coffees. The cider was warm, comforting, and full of cozy fall flavors. Unfortunately, the self-serve coffee station wasn't kept stocked, and after waiting quite a while for a refill, we eventually gave up. For breakfast, we ordered two Mushroom Frittatas, a Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, and a side of Housemade Breakfast Sausage. The Mushroom Frittata featured three hearth-baked eggs with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, and Gruyère cheese, served alongside breakfast potatoes and a peppery arugula salad. It was flavorful, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Although I informed the staff about my peanut allergy, I was surprised to find the crispy breakfast potatoes on my plate, which left me uncertain whether the allergy request had been fully communicated to the kitchen. The Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, served with strawberry preserves, was one of the highlights of the meal. It was flaky, buttery, and wonderfully moist, pairing perfectly with the sweet preserves. The Housemade Breakfast Sausage consisted of two peppery pork patties that were juicy and well-seasoned, making a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I wish the coffee station had been monitored more closely and that greater care had been taken regarding my food allergy, the Mushroom Frittata and fresh biscuit alone make Northstar Café worth returning to.
