Always a bangin’ choice! - Edit
I’ve eaten at LC pre COVID19, and the vibes were “sittin at ya grandmas counter while she whippin up some comfort food cuz ‘ya momma don’t feed you enough’”, ya hear? From the digital ordering menu, to the perfectly curated tunes, to the satisfying fullness of my belly... this place is a must, and a staple!

I am so grateful for a place like Lifestyle Cafe.
Pros: Incredible menu, Curated environment, Affordable
Cons: I don’t live close ENOUGH!

Everything I've been missing - Edit
Drove 2 hours to try the chickn and waffles. Was pleasantly suprised when i had the choice of soy based or oyster mushroom "chicken"

perfect timing - Edit
Wee we’re driving cross country when everyone in the car said they were hungry. I ordered online and it was ready right when we pulled up. We ordered the breakfast burrito, BLT and chicken and waffles, pop tart and cinnamon twist. Everything was delicious and the cafe is vibrant and alive. It was the perfect pit stop!

Best food, proprietor, workers - Edit
Breakfast at Lifestyle, first jn the door at opening on Sunday. Phenominal food, fantasic owner-operator and great employees. Vegan but carnivores will not know it! Conversational, knowledgable, well-rounded people on topics if food, music, art and life. Great way to start the day and of course spectacular, original delicious food that happens to be vegan. Lots of love, talent and dedication here, extremely recommended.

Beautiful and delicious! - Edit
This was our first visit and we were delighted! Their corn chowder was uniquely theirs, reminiscent of Thai style. Sloppy Jo sliders, black bean side, buffalo kale salad, they were all full of flavor! We will enjoy many future visits.

OMG - "chicken" & waffles! - Edit
I would say that the vegan "chicken" & waffles is the signature dish at Lifestyle. It's quite good, and is also gluten free, if that's your thing. I enjoyed the mixture of flavors. As someone who hasn't eaten chicken my entire adult life, I never had the non-vegan version of the dish and didn't know what to expect. I look forward to returning and trying more menu items. The vibe at Lifestyle is friendly and cozy and it's in a fun neighborhood.
Read morePros: Fun concept, Nice staff
Cons: A little pricey, Limited parking

Amazing vibe and Delicious food!! - Edit
This place is definitely a new favorite!! Staff is super friendly, easy and efficient kiosk for food orders, and the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! My favorites so far (because i need to get through the whole menu) is the chik’n and waffles and the shrymp and grits!! Shrimp was a favorite of mine before going vegan so it’s nice to have something so similar yet 100% plant based!! I could literally eat here every day!!
Read morePros: Lots of gluten free and soy free options!! , Amazing energy and vibe throughout the space!! , They also have sea moss and essential oils!

Delicious food! Sliders and waffles OMG - Edit
Definitely love Lifestyle Cafe! Today was the soft opening and there was a full house. The chickn and waffles were soooo good, what the city has been missing! The sliders are to die for, the salad was so fresh and yummy. Definitely one of the top vegan spots in Columbus. It is closed on Monday but serves great breakfast and brunch each day.

Taco Toast to die for!!! - Edit
Made a mistake on friday and left for class to early well this wonderful little eatery was on my way to school. so i popped in for some of the most incredible taco toast i’ve ever had. The layout reminds me of a little shop back in frederick called glory doughnuts but the atmosphere is of a high grade. it felt comforting to enjoy a quick breakfast before class!

Very accommodating and did I say yum? - Edit
Only open a week and they were slammed at 11:30am on a Saturday. Plant Based vegan meetup group was also having their monthly get together. Even with all of that, the chef made special accommodations for my gluten free, nut free diet. Looking forward to returning.

Must try! Sooooo good! - Edit
Very, very good! A small area so don’t come wanting to sit with more then 1 other person. Great customer service! Warm environment. Food was amazing. The shrimp slider is mouth watering! The donuts I took home were still soft and damn scrumptious as my late night snack. Must try!
