Website and Google say they are open but they are temporarily (?) closed. Called and the voicemail says they will reopen 2/1 but that is past.

Small portion sizes, high prices. - Edit
Lifestyle is a cute little cafe, but the portions are very small and high priced. We left unsatisfied and ended up grabbing food elsewhere. I am very disappointed that they originally breaded themselves as a vegan restaurant and would wear clothing with the words vegan, but they decided to serve meat, dairy and eggs now. Very disappointing.

Gluten-free and Vegan - Edit
When traveling, it can be quite challenging finding food that's both gluten-free and vegan. They were very nice and helpful in making sure I got something to fit my diet restrictions... they actually had several options for me to choose from, and everything was delicious!!

Hearty, tasty, filling - Edit
I loved that they have HALF sandwiches on the menu so I could try several things. Delicious and satisfying sammies. Chips with seasoned salt and paprika, delicious. Vanilla latte, perfect accompaniment to the lunch.

Delicious! - Edit
**2022-10-12 I asked for clarification on the honey listed in some breads on their menu and got this response:
Read more"We do have honey in the building as a sweetener for coffee but it would be up to the guest to choose it. We do not add honey to any of hour foods."
Good food, and interesting menu, with good variety.
Small patio seating in the back.

Deceptive Advertising - Edit
We ordered to go the Mexican Gluten Free Bowl. It cost $12. It wasn’t a bowl it was smaller than a Cup-Noodle Soup. Definitely deceptive advertising. A Starbucks tall coffee is the same size as this. Buyer beware! I do not recommend this place. Overpriced and underfed. Shameful.

Very lively spot with great customer service. The Nacho toast and smoothie I got was delicious. I will be coming back for sure. They have a very easy to use online ordering system that makes it convenient.

Definitely coming back! - Edit
Stopped in on a road trip - ordered online and it was ready when we walked in! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was AMAZING! I had the BLT, which may have been the best vegan BLT I’ve ever had? I was craving a milkshake and a little skeptical of the fruit flavors, but pleasantly surprised at how satisfying the mango shake was! Definitely will be back on future road trips😄

Amazing!! - Edit
Everything we got was awesome!
Read moreWe ordered the chick’n and waffles. The soy-based chick’n was tasty and it came with a delicious maple cream sauce. We also got the Cali Breakfast Bowl that had Just Egg, plant-based sausage and avocado, tomato, scallion nummies. And Lifestyle Fries.
Everything is fresh and made to order. The owners are super friendly and welcoming. We were passing through and so grateful to find this little hidden gem!! We ate the food in the car and I had to run back in to tell them how great it was. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Columbus.

Do Yourself a Favor - Edit
Do yourself a favor and stop at this amazing restaurant. The chikn n waffles and chili were phenomenal. This restaurant was cozied up on a corner in Columbus and I was so glad I stopped here. The drinks were very good and I was appreciative the staff was able to help me with suggestions to help with my experience. I love this place and wish I lived much much closer.

Good food, but sells Purium - Edit
They have an amazing chik’n and waffles and Mac and cheese, but they do sell products from Purium, a controversial Multi-Level Marketing company. Although the food is great and they don’t push these products nearly as much as Herbalife cafes, but it is something to be aware of.

great brunch gem! - Edit
stopped here on my way through from chicago, and wow what a gem!
Read moreMy vegan meat hesitant father got the chicken and waffles with extra chicken and was quite happy with it and feeling full afterwards (his most frequent complaint of vegan meals being that they don't fill him up)
I also enjoyed the waffles but plain with their maple butter- definetly a fav! the butter was really great not overly sweet or overpowering. The side sausage patties were decent, but nothing special imo.
My mother had the mexi bowl, and loved the fresh veg and avacado in it, as well as their mac and cheese. The mac was creamy but more of a fresh mac style with nutritional yeast and some pepper instead of a cheddar flavor which she was expecting. Good but she preferred the bowl.
Over all great experience!
Cash free and all ordering it done online on your phone or their set up kiosk inside.

Great Brunch - Edit
This is The Spot if you want a lowkey lunch. The berry waffles were delicious, as were the buffalo bites & fries. Coffee options were minimal and not amazing, but we're here for the amazing food.

Café with flavor - Edit
1st time at this location. Small spot. A few tables and bar section for dining in. Good menu with easy to read descriptions of the available food. I had the egg cheese melt. Comes with a just egg, smoked Gouda, lifestyle guac, tomato, on sweet wheat. It was worth having again. If I would make one suggestion, I personally would have enjoyed it more if the bread was crunchy. Looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes in the menu.
Read morePros: Friendly service, Comfy space, Good quality food
Cons: Would have preferred crunchy bread

The breakfast burrito was amazing. My friend got and shared with me. I had avocado toast which was great also. I wish they had normal nondairy milk lattes however not health versions. But I did get coffee with their nondairy milk.

Best Vegan food I’ve ever tasted. Heard about this place from my father who isn’t Vegan at all. He raved about this place and he is very very hard to please. He took me the next week to try this amazing place.

Good hidden spot - Edit
This restaurant is in the previous spot of Angry Baker (RIP) so I am happy that a vegan restaurant took over. They get 4 stars instead of 5 because one of their items lists honey in the bread, and honey is not vegan, so be aware.
Read morePros: All original ideas for items
Cons: Be aware of honey in the bread
