Fish sandwich is so good. And north star burger has a unique flavor as a vegetarian food. Every sandwich comes with a sides. You can make them different on the menu for your sandwich. Simple salad is great and it can be one of my favorite salads in Columbus. A rice sides is good too and it’s really healthy with different beans.

The store is very clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. All of the food is organic and local(when available), they have multiple vegetarian and vegan options. Northstar Burger is my favorite veggie burger around. A little pricey, but I'm always willing to pay a little more for a local company that provides clean food. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing food with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, or otherwise healthy options. Very high quality ingredients in an informal atmosphere. One of my favorites in Columbus.

I’ve gotten curbside pick up several times during the past few months and have loved it every time. I highly recommend the soup and chicken and avocado sandwich. Both have amazing, unique flavors that are fresh and well seasoned. I highly recommend trying Northstar if you’re looking for some delicious healthy food!

The Buddha bowl is my favorite! The sauce is amazing. The rice perfectly cooked. This time I had avocado, by mistake, but it was a pretty good addition.When we ordered they mistakenly forgot my sons sandwich. Once the manager realized it, he brought us guest cards for 3 free meals. Above and beyond...just another reason I love this place!

I love coming to Northstar! All the staff here are friendly and make me feel happy whenever I step in there - the vibe is contagious! It's a bright, airy space and is a mix between quick-service and table service. The food is executed consistently and they are very accomodating if you need modifications (and will suggest the right mods to fit your needs). I love that I can get local beers here, as well. Come here by yourself or with friends to enjoy their patio in the spring/summer as well.

Fantastic food and inviting atmosphere! I had the turkey hash with egg whites (added some hot sauce), the fresh squeezed OJ, and the strawberry smoothie. Everything was fresh and made-to-order.

Best ginger ale I ever had. The chicken and avacado sandwich flavors mixed really well. The Northstar burger is vegetarian and I would honestly prefer it over hamburgers

Incredible service and really great food. Went with a party of 7, everyone got something different and everyone was impressed. Staff went out of their way to make sure everyone was taken care of, and they did so in a way that didn't feel at all intrusive! Highly recommend 👍🏾

Best staff in the Short North, I've worked in the industry for years and they've got it down to a science. Nicest staff, freshest food, my go too place. I had the Pimento Cheeseburger today, it was amazing. I can't speak highly enough about this place...

Fresh varieties of local goodies! Vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful. The local cafe can be very busy, with good reason. Even when there is a line out the door, it's worth the wait!

The biscuits are so good that I'm literally mad that I don't live nearby. Friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of people had brought their dog.

Loved this place. You order at the counter, they give you a number, you seat yourself, and they bring your food out. It was me and my friend's first time there so they gave us complimentary mint iced coffees, which was so unexpected! The portion sizes are pretty big and the food comes out hot and looking very appetizing. I got biscuits and sausage gravy with scrambled eggs. It's not your typical country sausage gravy and biscuits, but I enjoyed the seasoning very much. The mint iced coffee is very minty and refreshing. The atmosphere is bustling and bright.

This place was amazing!!! My husband and I both got the chicken avocado sandwich, he got sweet potato fries, and I got the chips and salsa. The salsa was amazing, but the child were not as good as I thought they would be. They didn't really have any seasonings, but that ok. My husband's sweet potato fries were top notch!!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Absolutely delicious. The one thing I would change next time is ordering something else rather than the Granola Yogurt. It tasted wonderful but is priced nearly the same as everything else.

We stopped in for breakfast. There is a patio, but we sat inside. You go up and order at the counter, but they bring you your meal. The coffee was very good. I had fresh squeezed orange juice, WOW!! My wife had a blueberry smoothie, WOW again!! Our food was amazing, eggs were perfect and the sausage was delicious. Adding to this delightful meal was the biscuits, soft and fluffy and the jelly that came with them was the best I've ever tasted. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I really hope to stop again soon!!

Really good brunch. The turkey sweet potato hash was excellent and nicely season. Family friendly, but I do not think the bathrooms are handicapped friendly as the hallways leading to them are narrow. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We had a nice time. Great ambiance too.

Questions & Answers

Public garage on opposite side of street very easy

Yes! Very much so for Short North too!

I believe they have gluten free meals

I know that they do a ton of vegan options but i believe they have a very limited (if any) number of gluten free options
