Sweet Shop Cafe - Columbus

"Upscale pizza places can be hit or miss, but we really enjoyed our pizza here. The pies are quite large, making them a great value for the money. We particularly loved the one topped with crispy Brussels sprouts; it was delicious and clearly crafted with thought—unlike many places that simply throw on a collection of pricey ingredients without considering the flavor balance. Although I didn’t dine in, the restaurant is beautiful, cozy, and not overly noisy. The staff was very friendly, too."

The pizza was so delicious that we ended up ordering a second one. The beers were exceptional as well, which is something we always look forward to at Rockmill. We particularly enjoyed the experimental IPA and the white ale. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was really enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back soon. Thank you!

The atmosphere was fantastic and the food was delicious! The flavors were exceptional, and I really appreciated that they use fresh ingredients from their own garden. I particularly liked their accommodating nature; since I don’t eat pork, our server kindly checked with the chef about modifying the recipe. The chef happily agreed without any hesitation. Everything tasted wonderful! The handmade pasta was a special dish, with a different type offered each day. I also highly recommend the Brussels sprouts, which had a delicious smoky, charred flavor. Our server was not only very friendly but also well-informed about the menu and truly passionate about the restaurant.

Rockmill brings everything you love about craft brewpubs into one cozy space. The beer section was excellent and didn't focus so heavily on IPAs like most breweries do. As for the food, the menu was tight but everything on it was a hit. The bread and fat appetizer is beyond incredible and a must try for anyone visiting for the first time. We tried the special (blanket pasta and brazed pork cheek) along with the spicy chicken sandwich and both were bursting with flavor. This is my new favorite restaurant for sure.

Rustic environment, but upscale food. One of the highest quality meals I've had in Columbus. I chose this place because of their menu; the happy hour snacks and appetizers were very vegetarian friendly and I had many options, most of which were not forms of potatoes! We got there in time to get happy hour snacks and a few beers. I had one of the sours which was delicious. We had the fried cashews and the cheddar biscuits, both of which were well spiced and tasty. For my meal, I got the burrata. This was a very cool dish; the lentils were well cooked, the burrata rich and creamy, and the onion component was delicious! For dessert I ordered the squash- which turned out to be squash donuts! I felt the dish tasted like baklava, my guests thought apple crisp. Regardless, this was a unique dessert that was well saving room for! Highly recommend (especially if you get there for happy hour)!
