Reviews for Brenen's Cafe in Columbus, OH
Everytime they make me wait even if I order on express. They will never have something and will substitute. The one cashier us... very rude. Its like they work for free. Terrible Read more
Great place to grab a coffee headed in to work. They have good lunch options, too.
I only stop here because I work in the building. But the food and service has gone so far downhill since 2020 that I leave... without ordering about 3 out of 4 times I stop in. I've been coming here since 2013 and I'm very disappointed in this. My foodorders are constantly incorrect, sides are forgotten (chips, cookies, pastry items), and half the time they call numbers butforget to hand me my slip and the other half they call names. They've extended their hours a bit, but they only serve "express"items which isn't helpful when I've had to skip lunch because of a long lab experiment that day. Also, skip the app for ordering- it doesn't have the full menu and is lacking a way to select which side item you want. You're better off just stopping at thevending machines in the alcove right behind here if you want to know what you're getting. Read more
Great local place for a quick coffee & meal on campus. Food is responsibly priced and delicious. It can get a bit busy during... the lunch rush with medical workers coming in, so seating can be a bit of a squeeze from 11 to 1pm. Read more
Cafe food and the setting here is better than most. Very filling. I've had nothing but enjoyable experiences here and plan to... keep visiting. Bring your hunger - portions are large. Makes me feel like I am back in Tucson. Read more
Exactly 1.5 tablespoons of cream cheese for your bagel, and they charge extra for more. Absolutely infuriating... policy. Otherwise, an okay cafe for people who don't have many other options. Read more
I've been coming to Brenen's for the last four years of undergrad, and my experiences overall have been really positive! Their... bacon and potato soup is delicious as well as their cranberry chicken salad. I don't get coffee here very often, but their hotcinnamon tea is amazing. There's a wide variety of choices and the staff is very friendly. The prices are similar to Panerabread. The only downside is that it sometimes gets really busy and can take up to 20 minutes for food, but that's to be expectedin an area with so many people. Read more
Food was good, but place is understaffed. Took 30 minutes to get my lunch...and it was just a bowl of soup and a sandwich. Soup... was not very hot once I finally got it. I felt sorry for the overworked cook. They need to get more help. People need time toeat the food they go there to eat during their lunch hour. Read more
