Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The staff were nice and we didn’t have to wait long for our food even with it being so busy. It was my first time here and I had heard so many things about their pancake balls. They looked great, but were extremely overrated. There was barely any filling in them and tasted very bland. On the other hand, their fresh orange juice and sweet n’ spicy bacon were delicious. I would definitely come back just for those two, but not the pancake balls. Seemed a little too pricey as well.

I've been here twice. The second time because I forgot I'd already been until I pulled in but couldn't resist another great experience. The staff seem genuinely happy for you to be there and it's a very interesting space inside and out. Food is excellent, well portioned, and filling. A little pricey but that's great farm to table food for ya!

One of the best breakfasts in Columbus! Breakfast food with a Latín twist. The menu is extensive and there is truly something for everyone. Very colorful on the inside. Some of our favorites include the breakfast tacos and hen’s on a basket ds

If you are a fan of pancakes, @katalinascafe is the place to go in Columbus, OH. They have really good American-Latin fusion brunch. They are very popular for their pancake balls; I had their Dulce de Leche pancake balls, which looked tasty and tasted even tastier with their cup of syrup on the side. I personally think that their sweet spicy bacon is the star of the menu, is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, and it was perfectly cooked. They also have their own homemade drinks. I recommend their Horchata and orange juice. It is a very small establishment so you might struggle with getting a table or parking. Great staff and great atmosphere.

Wow. Just wow. I am from Philly was there visiting my friend and looked this place up. Had no idea I'd walk into a space that took me back to one of my now closed, local places in Philly, Sketch Burger. i love a good art space and they provide paint markers for you to leave a mark while you wait for your ridiculously delicious food. Me and my friends shared the dulce pancake balls, that were out of this world! i had that pork sandwich they are famous for and damn I tasted why. And that purple potato hash is no joke either. On top of the friendly atmosphere and staff, they got a tasty local coffee brewing and tons of great swag for purchase too. 10/10 will be return when I am back in town!
