Last week I spent two days in Columbus visiting my sister's family. I caught up with some good friends, spent time with my nephews, and of course ate some amazing food.
Whole Foods is my grocery store of choice. Whenever I travel, I stop in the nearest location to see all of the amazing local produce and specialties. The Columbus store has great vegan pastries, like the Blueberry Muffin pictured below. They also have a Cranberry Orange Vegan Muffin and two types of vegan cookies.

I spent the day with my nephew Isaac and he requested Noodles & Co for lunch. I was ecstatic to hear this because sometimes he requests some not so veg friendly places. There are lots of vegetarian/vegan options at Noodles & Co, as you can add organic tofu to any of their dishes. They break up their menu into sections - Asian, Mediterranean and American. I've only tried a couple of items from their Asian menu, but what I've had has been very good. This visit, I had the Bangkok Curry with tofu and Isaac had the Buttered Noodles. We both had food coma afterward...
The Zen Cha Tea Salon in The Short North is an adorable tea shop that serves every kind of tea you can imagine. They have the most beautiful teapots and great presentation that varies with each tea.
My drink of choice is their Coconut Chai with soymilk. I have yet to find a better Coconut Chai.

Before I left, I had to get my Northstar fix. Their tofu is the perfect consistency and is always seasoned well. I had the Buddha Bowl - brown rice, steamed veggies, seared tofu + peanut sauce...you had me at hello.

I just want to point out that it is me in the background and I had a praline scone. :)
