I don't even live in Columbus and somehow Carfagna's has become a mandatory life event every time…read moreI'm in town. I literally bring a cooler with me because walking in "just to browse" turns into me spending the GDP of a small nation on pasta, meat, cheese, desserts, sauces, bread, and things I didn't even know I needed until an Italian grandmother-looking angel handed me a sample. Every single thing in this place is outrageously good. Not "good for a market." GOOD good. Like, "I'm questioning every grocery store decision I've made back home" good. At this point I'm not visiting Columbus. I'm making a pilgrimage to Carfagna's and Columbus just happens to be nearby. You should plan your family vacations around going to Columbus so you can visit this store! But rent a U-Haul for what you will want to bring home.

Local Italian grocery store with an alcohol room and restaurant attached…read more Always extremely busy around the holidays as they sell baked goods, pasta, sauce, meat, cheese, and even egg nog. Grab a shopping cart and meander your way around the store for all their homemade and imported goodies. Shelves are always well stocked. Sometimes they even offer samples. Listen to lovely calm music playing for your pleasure.

This place is absolutely amazing. I love sausages, and the Hungarian Butcher makes the best I've…read moreever had. So far I've tried the spicy smoked Hungarian sausage, their brats, and a custom made South African sausage. All were top notch. They also have other select meat cuts as well, which I'm sure are just a flavorsome. I'm so happy Columbus has a place like this to add diversity to the city's food scene.

Stumbled on this, and I think it's pretty new. They're open, but a few of the display cases are…read moreempty, and they were getting some big deliveries. I've been to the other locations, this one is much smaller. Decent selection of dry goods, produce, drinks, snacks, and meats. Also a small restaurant, although I had just had Mexican the other day and I didn't see a menu. Wish I'd known it was here sooner. Will be back I'm sure.

This family and friends place is nice! They have a good selection of coffee and other unique finds…read more A small flower shop where they arrange for you. A decent produce department. The absolute BEST item in the store is the ham salad! They make their ham in house and use it for the ham salad as well as sell it sliced. It's great on bread and crackers alike, you may even find yourself eating it with a spoon.. or finger ( no judgment here!) My only complaint is that it's very pricey. Yes, it's a small business and I get that. However, money only goes so far and choices need to be made. So, they are on a once every couple of weeks rotation for us. They have a punch card that gives you a punch when you spend $50 on one purchase. You do not get 2 punches if you spend $100 sadly. Once you get so many punches, you get so much off your next purchase.

I pop in here every time I'm in the area. I love the salad bar but always leave with a few bottles…read moreof wine and several bags of ground coffee. It's never been crowded on my handful of visits and the staff are genuinely kind and helpful. The one thing I wish for is a few more sales. I'm a sucker for sale prices.

We stopped by Spires Social Brewing during a weekend getaway and really enjoyed our visit…read more Parking was easy thanks to the large lot, which is always a plus. I ordered a flight of four drinks and loved that I could mix and match between beers and ciders to create my own tasting experience. Everything I tried was enjoyable. The outdoor patio was the highlight of my visit. It overlooks a beautiful pond and creates such a peaceful atmosphere. There were also two outdoor fireplaces, and the bartender was kind enough to light them for us, making the space feel even more cozy and relaxing. The brewery has a great vibe overall--comfortable, welcoming, and perfect for spending an afternoon unwinding. As a bonus, they had the most gigantic skeleton displayed inside that I've ever seen. It immediately caught my attention, and now I'm convinced I need one for Halloween! Great drinks, friendly service, and a beautiful setting. I'd definitely visit again.

I was on a work trip here and stopped in. I was very impressed with their beer selection. I tried…read moremany different types and enjoyed them very well. The Cookie Monster was so incredibly good. I also enjoyed tropical manatee. I had their wings and they were incredible. The service I had was excellent. I loved that many of the people were known to the bartender so it made it feel more like a great hangout.

A (small) medium sized market. Even though they are owned by Meijer I feel their produce is…read morebetter, which logic says isn't necessarily true as the clerk told me the same truck services both locations! Yet I always find their produce to be super fresh and not picked over. They do have a large selection of organic and vegan items. It's nice because you don't need to hunt them like you do in the larger grocery stores. As far as the meat/seafood. The people who work it are great but the cuts are so/so. Pretty much the same things you find elsewhere.

A visually appealing store, with fair prices for specialty "healthy, organic" living. Starting…read morewith produce, an above average selection including some more rare Items and ingredients, such as oyster mushrooms, but when we got back home half the organic raspberries were rotten-- spoiling the lot. The radishes were gigantic --but really hot-- but we were able to purchase other salads at comparable prices to other major chains. They have an extensive deli featuring Boarshead, but nothing really prepared there, huge disappointment because it's really what we came for. Everything is frozen or ready to heat, with nothing hot and ready to eat. I mistakenly got the sushi-- which I was later to learn was NOT fresh tasted like it had been sitting all day and not very eatable. Standard nigiri which should be easy? Yuck! Should be time stamped!!!! We will also try some of the andouille sausages and hamburgers but the seafood and meat selections looked good --for whatever that's worth. The store is very clean with a huge selection of products, we only sampled a small percentage with somewhat mixed results.

This is a great store that has everything you need to make gourmet African Nigerian cuisine…read more.. plantains, maggi, goat meat, cows feet, catfish, pounded yam, parboiled rice, egusi, ghost peppers, and much much more... check it out... it's in the same plaza as Lewis Center Walmart... it's next to the Asian buffet... the sign says--Royals African Market...

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!
