Cherbourg Bakery

We made an overnight stop in Columbus and stopped here for treats before leaving town. The beverages we ordered were great (iced blueberry latte and a pour-over coffee), and we went hog-wild trying their baked goods! Everything we ate was good, but our very favorites in order of increasing awesomeness were the S'more bar (great flavor and combination of textures - very creamy in the center), Apple Pie Bar (very moist and great cinnamon apple flavor), Black Tie No Frosting Cupcake (rich, moist, decadent deep chocolate with pockets of cream cheese filling), and the Espresso Brownie (crisp exterior, gooey center, and very satisfying deep chocolate flavor - yum, yum, yum!) So glad we stopped and would definitely visit again.

We can't recommend Cherbourg Bakery enough! We just got married in October and had a variety of Cherbourg desserts for our wedding instead of a cake - donuts, bars, and cupcakes. I have celiac disease, so it was important for us to use a bakery that was completely gluten free. Our guests raved about the s'mores bars and donuts, and many of them took dessert to-go. They even had options for our family and friends that are vegan and have nut allergies, so there was something for everyone. I honestly can not say enough about how impressed we were with the whole experience! Photo Credit: @macyfrances

Loved Cherbourg Bakery. We traveled from Denver, CO to visit family and they took us to this bakery. My 14 year old son has been recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and he tried 6 different things (egg strata, strawberry scone, strawberry donut, lemon bar, lemon cake, s'mores bar) and each one was more mouth watering than the last. Delicious regardless if you need to keep gluten free.

Regardless of when I've visited, I have had to wait more than 10 min. as there was only one person to take orders (baked goods and coffee) and manage the register. I know staff shortages are widespread, so I understand why multiple staff during the morning shift may not be feasible. My rating is a reflection of the fact that I have yet to see a staff member wash their hands after receiving a package, returning to the café from the satellite location a couple of doors down, or bussing tables. With each order, the staff assemble a go-to box and place liner paper in the box (which they place by putting their palm on the paper). Now this is cool if ordering a muffin, but most baked goods are placed directly on this paper. For this reason, I only order the blueberry muffin. Suggestions: assemble boxes in advance and wash hands before returning to coffee or baked goods counter. Thank you for the GF options.
