The Warehouse Café

Quirky. In a good way. Perfect for folks looking for small places, casual & cozy environment, cheap & good breakfast/​brunch eats. CLOSED ON SUNDAYS and only open till 1:00p the rest of the days. The hours keep me from being a frequent diner.
The food is basic, but some items are cooked in a way that make them memorable. The breakfast wrap is dam good. It does look like a quesadilla with a perfectly cooked shell, every time. The wrap is filled with potatoes, cheese, scrambled eggs, onions, peppers and meat of your choice. Deee-​licios. Comes with sour cream, but it needs a sauce. The 3 pancakes are perfection. Light, fluffy and sized just right. It’s a shame to have to use a packet of Smucker’s syrup on them. The sausage are links with an unusual sweet taste; not for everyone, but some folks will really enjoy. If ordering scrambled eggs with cheese, it’s throughout, not just on top. Sandwich come with chips, but you can order a side of great tasting pasta salad. Omelettes are about $ 6. Go ahead and order a side of REAL POTATOES and be completely satisfied. Also, they have home made soups and desserts.
You should know the Warehouse is located downtown, no free parking. The diverse customers are typically from surrounding businesses. (Reminds me of Chicago, without the traffic and hustle/​bustle.) When you enter, go to the counter order & pay, they will bring out your food. You may have to ask for water and any condiment that is not on the table. Remember it is a small operation, keep service expectations in line.

Yummy food. Cute setup.

The Warehouse café has a very quaint atmosphere. The food is very affordable and delicious! I had the gyro and it was very good.

Good basic breakfast food. I had the bacon omelette with veggies, toast and hot tea. The omelette was generous portion and tasty. The tea was basic black tea and though I like the
Fancy types I was okay with Twinings. The price was cheap and decent quality.

Yes! Finally a good place from Unilocal.It has been awhile. I had the bacon omelet sub spinach for peppers and it was very good. I could hear them crack and beat the eggs. Word of caution. Usually I ask for no butter on my toast but forgot this time. They put olive oil on it instead. I like EVOO so no big deal for me. But, if you don’t like EVOO tell them about it. Overall a very nice local place to have breakfast. The prices were friendly also. Next time I’m in town maybe I will head their for lunch.

Forgetful
Went here for breakfast. Cozy little place but the food was not memorable. I had the french toast and was not impressed.

Had the Warehouse Special and it was amazing! My husband had the bacon omelet with home fries and he said it was great too. The coffee was awesome – definitely not your average restaurant coffee! It was very cozy inside and the waitress was very attentive to our needs. The only down fall was when you pay with a credit card, you can’t leave a tip on your card. We didn’t have cash so we couldn’t tip… we felt awful because the service was great! I would definitely recommend this place!

Fast friendly service with great prices. The food is good (home cooked style meal). It’s a small restaurant, (9 tables– 4 tops and 2 tops) but i didn’t wait on this weekday morning. It can’t be beat for the price and the service. I’d come back. I would suggest the owners find a way to allow for the tip on the credit card payment as most people pay that way as opposed to cash.

I went here for brunch with my wife, sister and mother for for my birthday. The café isn’t very large so seating disappear quickly. Shortly after we put in our order, the waitress came out with our food. I had ordered the sausage omelet. The portion sizes are pretty large considering the inexpensive cost. The omelet and 4 pieces of toast virtually covered what looked like a serving platter! The dish was very tasty and filled me up but somehow avoided making me too full. My wife had the BLT. It looked pretty good to me but it was gone before I could ask to try some of it. Apparently it was a hit!

Oh Warehouse Café, or as I like to call it, Ol’ Faithful.
I have been eating here for close to 2 years! My office is located a quick 5 minute walk from their corner location. My typical purchase is a cajin chx gyro with crinkle fries on the side, and it rocks my socks every time! I usually call and order, then go pick up. Its always quick (10 minutes), and ready to go. Plus for under $ 10, I add a drink, and I am stuffed until dinner time!
I love supporting local, and this family is sweet as can be. Every new employee at our office hears about Warehouse, and we make sure they have it soon after they start! Theres no doubt they are a staple for us!

I ate one of the best chicken gyros I have ever had here. Her tzatziki is amazing! And the owner is super nice. Definitely check this place out when you are in Columbus.

The sausage omelette was different that your usual omelet, and it was amazing. The restaurant was a short walk from the Courtyard by Marriott I was staying at. First time here and I will be back when I’m in town again. I loved this place.

Wonderful folks. Great food. Fanatically clean. If the kitchen looks like the tables, bless them. My omelet was delicious and just the right size. Coffee was fine. They have an enlarged photo hanging on the wall that must be of the warehouse at work as a sewing shop of some kind. TVs on the wall to play news and game shows.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch! Fast service and good food. I had the Albanian panini and it was awesome. Quick casual spot to try if you’re in the area.

Awesome, quiet little breakfast place.
Greek omelet is outstanding.
Family owned, closed on Sunday’s.

the best best albanian panini ive ever had!
a must try and i would also recommend the rice pudding!

I was working in Columbus, and this was the only place within walking distance of my office for lunch. The fact that it’s awesome was a happy surprise.
The prices are extremely reasonable (nothing over $ 7.50, I think), everything is fresh and delicious, and the employees are very friendly!
The seating area isn’t huge — one day when there was searing available, I stayed and ate my lunch, and took it to go another time when the place was packed. In both instances, it took about 10 minutes to receive my order.
I look forward to visiting this place again in future visits to the area.

So, while The Warehouse Café does have pretty good pancakes, the overall food experience is not enough to make up for the total clusterbomb happening with their service. I won’t be going back until they at LEAST work out some kind of system that allows them to remember what food goes to which people.
Whenever I go to The Warehouse Café, they always seem ridiculously understaffed. The owner takes our orders, then scurries back into the kitchen area to make food. By the time our food gets to us, it’s taken forever and we’re starving. .. and half the time, I’m having to flag someone down to get the beverage I ordered 30 minutes ago, or, like today, our food was served (after a long delay) to the table next to us because the cashier/​cook had forgotten who ordered what by the time it came out.
What flummoxes me is that it’s really not that difficult to solve this problem: buy some plastic numbers (they even already have condiment caddies with a space for the numbers to stick up), assign each customer a number, then write that number on their ticket. For good measure, probably write down the time they ordered to keep tickets from getting OUT of order, as flow seems to be a huge issue.
Maybe consider hiring a cashier, at least.
And if the food were AMAZING, this would be tolerable; the food wasn’t amazing, though. My pancakes were good, my potatoes were aight, my husband’s bacon was below average.
The owner did apologize and offer to make me new food after my food sat on the neighboring table, which I declined as I could see it hadn’t been touched, so it’s not as though she didn’t offer to fix the problem. It’s just such an easy thing to make sure it’s never a problem in the first place. Getting food orders to the right people in a decent amount of time is kind of basic. Making me wait half an hour to get a beverage when my husband was served his at the counter, also uncool.
So. yeah. With so many fantastic restaurants in Columbus, it’s just not worth paying for street parking, climbing over tables in the cramped dining room, waiting forever and hoping that our order actually gets out to us for not-​fantastic food.

My boyfriend and I were VERY impressed with the Warehouse Café. Our last morning breakfast plans went awry so last night, we found this place on Unilocal and figured we could walk there from the hotel.
We were greeted immediately by the very friendly owner (I assume??). Decided to go for the breakfast «wrap» with sausage, and an iced coffee. The bf went for the bacon omelet with an iced coffee. I put «wrap» in quotes, because it basically comes out like a breakfast quesadilla. But no complaints here! It was moist and flavorful, with the shell being perfectly toasted and buttery. I managed to wolf down the whole thing, as did the boyfriend with his omelet.
I saw some people complaining about no free refills on the coffee; however the sizes are pretty big. Not your typical diner-​mug but almost like 16 ounces which is plenty. Our iced coffee was dark and delicious. We loved our meal so much!
Interior was really quaint and nice, with plants around the windows, and dark wood lining the walls. Felt very homey. It was very dead when we went, which probably worked out to our advantage. But if you’re looking for delicious and cheap breakfast in Columbus, I recommend you check out the Warehouse!!!

Truly a hidden gem!
When some coworkers suggested a breakfast meeting instead of meeting in the office, then they suggested some chain restaurants, I asked them to give me a minute to find something that would satisfy everyone’s preferences.
We needed somewhere that had inexpensive menu items, and that served the typical breakfast foods (pancakes, bacon, eggs) as well as good vegetarian options.
This place had decent reviews, and looked like it would suit our needs.
I think everyone was more than satisfied. I just had coffee, since I’d eaten before I found out we were meeting for breakfast. But everyone was impressed with the quality and quantity of food for the price!
The two lovely ladies behind the counter do it all. You order with them at the counter, then they whip it up and bring it out to you. The coffee isn’t bad, but it’s no fancy coffee house. 2% milk only. They’ve got some deli salads in a case up front, and the sandwich menu is HUGE, so I’ll be back to try their lunch as well.
