Schokko Café — Restaurant in Columbus

I very much like to be able to eat at the Schokko Café whenever I visit the Columbus Museum of Art.

The food is great [the menu regularly changes so I will not use this review to recommend any particular food items]; the space is wonderful; the staff is friendly and efficient.

One particularly pleasant recent visit to the Schokko Café had been on 7-15-2021 when a group of us from the Stonewall Columbus Trailblazers [a community of LGBTQ adults fifty and older] attended a private tour of the "Raggin’ On: The Art of Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson’s House and Journals" exhibit and then ate lunch together at the Schokko Café.

I have learned during the past year or so that the Schokko Café serves anyone rather than only those who are also visiting the Columbus Museum of Art.

Kids meals were $5, reasonably priced. And the grilled cheese was $12. Would have had a better grilled cheese for better price...

Wonderful place to have lunch during our museum outing. They validated parking (~$7 value). The kid menu is definitely affordable and can probably feed an adult if you order an additional appetizer. I just kept wanting to eat more pumpkin curry soup.....every bite was like, I want another bite. It was very savory and flavorful.
