Breakfast Burrito at Northstar Cafe
Columbus does not have enough good breakfast eateries. If you want proof of that go out and try to find them. Nick has only been able to locate a few and has resorted to reviewing out of town establishments as well. Grand Rapids is a long way to drive for breakfast. I’d have to leave pretty early in the morning to get there.
I tried to get reservations at the Banana Bean Cafe for Mother’s Day but no such luck. Wildflower just wasn’t cutting it anymore and, with their limited seating, it could be a real battle fighting the after church crowd. So I ended up at the old reliable.
When we arrived at the Northstar Cafe, the line snaked around to the front door. People get a little pissy when they have to wait in line. Usually this kind of pissiness is reserved for places like the airport. We found it at the Northstar as some lady with a baby ran over my wife’s foot trying to push through.
We didn’t let that spoil our Mother’s Day. I wish I would’ve taken a picture of the line to the door. Almost every seat was packed in the Northstar which leads me to wonder if there is any other good places to eat in Clintonville. You would think the Northstar was the only game in C-ville. It just goes to show that good food (even if a bit pricey) can pack ‘em in Clintonville.
Pictured above is the breakfast burrito at the Northstar. A fine selection but perhaps a bit heavy on the onions.
Mighty Fine, Cloud Nine Pancakes at Northstar Cafe
I’m not really into pancakes but with a name like Cloud Nine Pancakes, I had to give them a shot. These were really light and definitely a change from the super carb heavy variety. If I’m not mistaken I think they were made with a touch of ricotta cheese.
Egg Sandy at Northstar
The breakfast egg sandwich didn’t foto as well but still mighty tasty. By the way, their coffee is real good as well. You can’t be a good breakfast joint without great coffee.
The Northstar Cafe – I can’t not keep coming back.

Here’s my thoughts on New Taco Tao:
“I drove over here after reading about it on the web. It’s a really dirty truck with a really dirty table. Forget it. ”
On the other hand, Taquikin Taqueria y Loncheria Movil, which is actually on Morse Rd, I said:
“Went back tonight for a couple more taco pastors and an order of refried beans. And tried the roasted jalapenos. They weren’t as hot as I imagined. Also had an orange soda. Very good food. Highly recommended!”
