Reviews for Pochi Cafe in Columbus, OH
HEALTH CONCERNS! My once and only time going to get any food or drinks from this place. The 1st thing that I notice when I... walked in the door was how unclean things seems to be. This should have been a sign that I shouldn’t have footed anythinghere. When I got to the counter I notice that everything (food items) were out on the counter at room temperature. Things shouldhave been in the coolers. I then proceeded to order a drink, against my better judgment. The kid working there started to usethe stuff sitting out, I quickly requested that he used the items that were in the cooler. The boba tea that I got tastedmediocre at best. The tea was not cold and was served at almost room temperature. Since I already paid like $6 for my drink, Iconsumed the rest. I paid the price later on that evening. I had a very bad stomach ache ( possibly food poisoning) all eveninglong. I don’t know how this place got like. 4.3 stars out of 5. I highly suggest that you DO NOT go to this cafe. Unless youwant food poisoning. ZERO STARS. Read more
The Italian sub and the Philly sub are my favorites. I get one about once a month. Have been doing this since they opened. It... doesn't matter if it is dine in, take out or delivery. Pochi Cafe is one of a very few places that gets it right every time. Ican honestly say that they have never messed up my order. And that's saying something in this current culture of not caringabout good customer service. Read more
I had high hopes with the reviews but man this was terrible. Granted it was three young girls this was probably the worst... experience at a small business i’ve had. After waiting almost 30 minutes for a drink and sub when we were the only patrons ourfood was over cooked, mine had a hair in it Ew! and they argued pricing they had listed with my partner and then gave him acookie that tasted like chemicals??? Such a shame we love supporting local business but man we won’t be returning. ???????? Read more
Ok the most delicious meatball sub I have ever had. You know how sometimes you eat Italian food at a restaurant and it just... doesn't feel unique or it might feel frozen/tasteless.. this one was delicious. Obviously we also enjoyed the bubble tea! Read more
Food is great, drinks are what brings me. Love the boba. The establishment isn't very attractive, but you can see where... everything is prepared and it's usually clean,except the floors are sometimes sticky. Read more
HIDDEN GEM IN GAHANNA!!!!! I have been on a hunt to find the BEST, most authentic, plenty of variety, reasonably priced bubble... tea and it hit the jackpot!!!!! Pochi Cafe, 921 E. Johnstown Road, Columbus, Ohio 43230 Pochi Cafe. Is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Itis right off Hamilton past Morse Road on the left in a plaza with an OSU medical building, Dog Spaw, and Mr. Wok directly acrossfrom a free standing CVS. Besides offering the traditional boba tea in a variety of milk versions, they offer it in many teaversions too. Moreover, besides the boba bubbles, they also offer "popping" bubbles that are delicious and so fun! They arefilled with your choice of liquid so they literally burst in your mouth. A large (Very large) bubble tea in any variety is only$5.00 while they have a medium version (still plenty) for $3.50. Beyond bubble tea (which quite frankly could be their onlything it's SOOOOOO TASTY AND AWESOME) they carry all kinds of smoothies and an entire wall of coffee selections and yummyvarieties. I'd say there are at least 20 choices of all kinds of coffee mixtures most notably to me, the Almond Joy....YUM!!!!So whatever your favourite beverage splurges are, they have you covered. I haven't even began to discuss the food. Omg, thefood. They have deli salads that will blow your mind. The broccoli salad has broccoli of course lol, sunflower seeds, raisins,red onions amd a slaw sauce you'll want to lick up. After my meal (a combo comes with a deli side or side salad and a drink ) Ihad to go buy a pound of it to take home it was that good!!! I had the Reuben which they sliced the meat right there and had themost amazing slaw on it and melted cheese. It came open faced and wasn't that aesthetically pleasing yet the taste, IT IS ALEGEND. They have a pizza oven type thing they put it through so the bread was so toasty and cheese was so melty....a trueindulgence at its finest. I went back the next day, it is that good lol, and ordered the meatball stromboli t Read more
I have visited twice and really enjoyed my visit both times. The food is delicious. I ordered a stromboli and my husband ordered... a steak sub. We enjoyed both but definitely recommend the stromboli. I am thrilled to find a local place that serves bubble teaespecially as the tapioca is fresh so it absorbs the flavor of the tea and is not overly chewy. They have so many flavors tochoose from! We couldn't resist ordering an extra drink and split a mango passion fruit smoothy, and it is my new favoritetreat. It is a quirky location with a good amount of room to meet with a group of friends or just read a book. I enjoyed theirHalloween decorations particularly this tisel dog holding a pumpkin. It is very cute and I want my own! The service is a littleslower than other places I have been to, but everything was made fresh and the staff was very nice both times. The second time,the boy at the counter brought out my tea to me and the whole container of bubble tea straws so I could pick my color. I'mdefinitely taking my sister here on our next day out!

Had the beef and cheddar with horseradish Mayo and a side of the Broccoli salad. It all was tasty. The sub was perfectly toasted... and the sauce was strong, which I loved, although if you don't want your nose to burn...ask for the sauce on the side. ???? Read more
