    Full disclosure... I am biased to bee-themed things but [[HIGHLIGHT]]this place is just SO CUTE. For a smaller spot, they still managed to have some soft seating, a L-shaped bar along the windows, and tables. All without making it feel cramped[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The service was amazing. The lady at the counter was very sweet and friendly. Before we get into food, I also wanted to call out the self service coffee bar that has a huge assortment of syrups, milk and alt milk options, and hot tea. All for the price of the coffee which is only $4. I got their featured biscuit sandwich which was sausage egg and cheddar on a cheddar biscuit. Delicious. I also got 3 mini biscuits- plain, white cheddar and blueberry. All amazing. Overall - so glad I decided to try this restaurant!! Would highly recommend.

    Stopped by on a weekday morning before work to pick up a breakfast sandwich. While I was there I grabbed 3 mini biscuits to try too. The breakfast sandwich was good, but nothing I found special. The biscuit on the sandwich kinda tasted like one from chick fil a to be honest but cost $6.75. I wish they had different options for the biscuit flavor on the sandwiches. The mini biscuits are fun and there's lot of flavors, but for the price and very small size of them, I wish I got more for $4.25. They are one bite. I don't see myself coming back with a lot of the other breakfast places in the area.

    We're traveling through and wanted to try a local spot. This caught our attention because it has high reviews and who doesn't love a biscuit? We ordered online since we wanted to pick up and get back on the road asap. They charge a 3% credit card convenience fee. Minus 3 stars (one for each % they charge) for that because it's a cost of doing business and they should have the costs of doing business built into the price of the menu items. Their online order form does not state that they only have certain menu items on the weekends. It's also very unclear whether when you order a coffee, it's a black coffee or you can have it made to order (no place to customize on their website). They use Toast which is a pretty lazy way of doing an online menu unless the business is willing to customize the menu to make it user friendly - this business did not. So we ordered a cinnamon roll only to be told at pickup that it's only available on weekends. When we asked for a refund, we were told we'd have to get it through Toast. No info on how to do that. No information about who to contact. Just an older lady with an indifferent attitude. Minus one star for that. The sandwiches were dry as a bone - the bottom of the biscuit was actually chewy from being overcooked. The eggs were definitely overcooked with a telltale gray ring around the yolk. We're disappointed and wish we had just stopped at Starbucks instead.

    Driving back into Columbus and was really craving a good breakfast biscuit, this was on the way so decided to check it out. Order at the counter. I got a bacon egg and cheese and an OJ. The biscuit was delicious, although a bit on the small side. The OJ and biscuit came to $11. The meal definitely hit the spot, I would stop by again.

    I have wanted to stop in for a while and am glad I did.... If you are looking for a great local spot for a reasonably priced breakfast sammy and coffee, look no further. Located just outside Grandview Heights, this place is very charming and has great service. Everything is made fresh. Biscuits were delicious and the sammy was satisfying. I got the egg, cheese, and sausage on a regular biscuit and really enjoyed it. We also got the special of the day with a jalapeño biscuit. It was very good and left you with a little zing. They also serve Stauf's coffee which I feel is one of the best in the city. Cute little area in the shop for eating or you can eat outside in a nice area. They even have a fire pit. I am sure you will be happy if you give them a try.

    Small biscuit company that specializes in fresh made biscuits in different flavors and sizes. Parking is easy as they have private side lot that is pretty big. They sell Stauffs Coffee. While we were there they offered three types of biscuit sandwiches: Egg/cheese, egg/cheese/bacon, egg/cheese/sausage. We found staff to be very welcoming and friendly. They also do sandwiches on their specialty biscuits. Today they had jalepeno biscuit variety, so we had them make a jalepeno biscuit with egg/bacon. We also purchased a regular biscuit with egg/sausage. Both were great. The original biscuit held up better against then steam of the egg. Sausage had great flavor. The jalapeño biscuit was a tiny bit soggy. My guess is that was due to the fresh jalapeño in the biscuit. When it heats up it releases steam which changed the constancy of the biscuit, but still the biscuit had great flavor that lingered on the tastebuds For a small corner shop, it had lots of seating inside and out. What a nice addition to the Columbus culinary scene! We will be back!!

    Basic is in the name, and that's the only thing they lived up to! Came here from a friends recommendation and had to disown them after visiting this place. I tried several biscuits, a sausage egg and cheese biscuit sandwich, cold brew, and tea. All were absolutely disgusting. Breakfast sandwich was pre-made (soggy biscuit, overcooked sausage and egg, and tiny), flavored biscuits had no flavor lest a small coating on outsides, and the coffee/tea was self-serve.. Staufs (so hard to mess up), but just ok, but not a lot of customization for almost $6.. overall I think I spent $35 for 2 people and threw half of it away sadly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly the worst place I've been in a really long time. I understand now why the parking lot was empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sorry for the harsh review, but truly terrible 0/10

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a fun spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was super clean and bright and cheerful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Probably I would go earlier next time because they were already running out of things. But we thoroughly enjoyed all of the biscuits and coffee. The jalapeño cheese and peach biscuits were our faves.

    This 2 bite biscuit for $6.75.

    Generous 3 stars. More like 2.5 but I feel generous today. Sausage and cheddar biscuit was good. But to pay $6.75 for this was pretty ridiculous.Like about $3 overpriced ridiculous. And a tiny thin hash brown for $2.25 Both very small for $9.00. Better to stick with McDonalds or Tim Hortons.

    First tried this business thanks to Yelp and enjoyed it so much. This morning I woke up with a craving, threw on some clothes and out the door I went. They were out of my favorites (everything bagel and cheddar jalapeño) but got to try some new ones. I picked up a bakers dozen and headed home to surprise my partner for a fun little biscuit breakfast. I recommend microwaving for about 10 seconds, tear them open, and add a little butter (depending on the flavor). It is so worth the drive across downtown from Olde Towne East (10-12 mins away). They also have a frequent purchase card where you by 12 bakers dozens and get one on the house. I think that's it! I left my punch card in the car for the next trip. These biscuits are so yummy and totally recommend.

    The entry looks super handicapped friendly from the pictures, is this accurate?

    I don't know if there is a push button for an automatic door opening, but there is a ramp, and the counter is basically right inside the front door. So I'm going to say that it is friendly to those that need easy accessibility.

    A friend told me about this new spot a few weeks ago and I was finally able to pay them a visit…read moreover Thanksgiving weekend. My sister and I had just finished up lunch and wanted a sweet treat and some caffeine to keep our afternoon going. The space itself looks great. For the longest time this corner was home to a vacant building and they put a lot of work into it. The side where you order is fairly small but on the other side of the wall is a good sized lounge area. Perfect for getting work done, catching up with friends, etc. I ordered the super trendy strawberry matcha and a pistachio raspberry macaron. Both were worth coming back for. The strawberry matcha had a delicious strawberry jam with a cold foam on top. I could tell the matcha wasn't the lowest grade option you could get because it tasted very smooth. The macaron was absolutely gorgeous and much bigger than the average. Both sides of the macaron were big and the amount of filling inside was amazing. Very flavorful but not over-bearing. It was also extremely photogenic. My sister enjoyed her goodies, too. She went with a hot chocolate and a cinnamon macaron and said she was a fan. They are Latinx-owned and women-owned, which I love to see. I will definitely be back to try more things and fingers crossed this spot sticks around for a while!

This time, I went with the My Way (iced) and it was unlike any coffee I've had. With subtly sweet orange cold foam and a rich caramel sauce, this was a combo I would not have thought of but went together perfectly. The seating area is perfect for a chat or some studying, and the late night hours on the weekends make it a perfect spot to do just that. The staff were very friendly and helpful, bringing out drinks to the table as well. Looking forward to my next visit!

    I've heard nothing but great things about this cafe, so my expectations were high - I'm happy to…read morereport that this place is worth the hype! We were gifted tickets for the German Village picnic Giftory experience which gave us two macarons of our choosing and two vanilla shortbread cookies for free. We chose the raspberry chambord and pistachio macarons while also ordering two pistachio cloud matchas. All of the desserts were excellent. The raspberry macaron was very fruit forward while the pistachio was more subdued, but still had a spot on flavor. Even with sugar coating the shortbread cookies, the touch of vanilla made them taste light. I could easily see myself eating far too many of those. The star of the show was the matcha. 10/10! I've never had a pistachio flavored drink, so I was a little hesitant, but wow, I'm glad I ordered it! The matcha base wasn't overly sweet nor was the pistachio foam overly salty. Perfect mix of sweet and savory. Even thought the line was out the door, it moved at a decent pace and our drinks didn't take too long to receive. I'd like to try the strawberry matcha next time, but I'm not sure if I can pass up the pistachio Highly recommend!

I think the issue is with the chocolate they use for the mocha but it had such an odd flavor that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The croissant was fine and not memorable and I won't say too much on the macaron because I think I just realized I'm not really a macaron person so I can't fairly judge them there. The cafe is itty bitty and there is absolutely no seating inside so it's more of a grab and go situation. There are a few seats outside so hopefully you can snag a seat when the weather is nicer. Overall, I think there are a lot of other good coffee shops in Columbus that I don't see myself going out of my way to come back.
