Coming back to Columbus after being gone so long is great because I get to go to my favorite restaurants, cafés, and bars. But what is really fun is checking out all the great new places that have popped up in the last two years and the places I simply missed because I didn’t have the mindset to explore my hometown.
Checking out the great ethnic restaurants with Columbus Food Adventures was a great way to get started. I want to keep exploring on my own.
A few growing trends I have noticed since I got back are 1) investment in downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods, 2) the local food movement, and 3) creativity and originality.
The Angry Baker
The Angry Baker is a gourmet bakery and café located in Olde Towne East (an historic neighborhood bordering downtown) that checks off all three of these boxes. I met a friend for breakfast there. He almost started drooling as he told me about the greatest breakfast sandwich ever.
French Toast Sandwich
…aka The Best Breakfast Sandwich Ever
Ham and swiss on brioche French toast covered with maple syrup.
This is worth however many miles I need to run to work it off (I’m guessing ten).
The Bakery
The glass display case is filled with other delectable goodies from vegan muffins to my absolute favorite Carrot Cake Whoopee Pie.
Not too sweet, and you can see the carrot shavings in it. That means it’s healthy, right?
Gotta love homemade, creative treats!
The Angry Baker is located at the corner of Oak and 18th in Olde Towne East. In addition to the tempting baked treats and fresh breads, they serve breakfast and lunch with a good selection of vegan dishes.
I didn’t drool… much.
Awww… you actually read my blog

OMG! That’s what I thought when I saw that French toast, ham, and cheese combo, three of my favorite breakfast foods. Add in syrup and powdered sugar, and I’m thinking about plane tickets!

I would say this is definitely a sandwich that needs to be eaten with a fork. Definitely drool worthy!

That’s it. I can’t take any more foodie posts! I’m leaving the hostel and getting some lunch. And if it’s good enough, I’ll write about it too and make everyone else’s mouths water for a change!

Amazing photography. Did you order all of those things or were you able to show them your press pass and get them to display them?
I am glad I saw this before I go to CMH next week. Thanks for this hint of good food for I too am drooling!
Unfortunately, I do not have a “press pass.” I took a photo of my friend’s French toast sandwich and then I went back and had the carrot cake whoopie pie. The other photo I took through the display case. Their vegan muffin is delicious too (not shown here).
