Reviews For Cafe on Main & Sweet Shop

The food is good. I like going when I need a quick meal. Recommended if you need a takeout option. Inside service is good too, just not my usual. They are super sweet and always have a smile. Highly recommend if you are looking for good home cooked food in downtown Columbus.

The food is good, home-style, Southern eatin’. The entrees and sides are what you’d expect from a Mississippi cafe and while I really like them, I REALLY love the desserts! In fact, I like them so much, I usually eat a side or two of veggies and make one of their HUGE pieces of cake my “entree”. Not even kidding. Their Heath Bar Cake is my all-time favorite.

Me and my girlfriend went to go eat, and the food was delicious, the dessert was even better. I got the fudge brownie sundae! Our server Alexis did a great job serving us and made sure we had everything we needed. If you come to Cafe on main I would definitely suggest sitting in her section!
