Since 2007, Columbus locals and visitors alike have flocked to the Short North Arts District for a scoop of Jeni’s sweet treats. This hugely popular ice cream shop serves up scoops, sundaes, and more. Though there’s almost always a line, Jeni’s is never busier than during Columbus’s Gallery Hop nights. 

Savor flavors like Chocolate Blackout Cake with extra bitter fudge and rich pieces of cake, or opt for something lighter like Skillet Cinnamon Roll, which is packed with dark caramel, cream cheese, pastry pieces, and cinnamon.

Start your day with a bagel that’ll transport you to the streets of New York City—with a twist. Lox Bagel Shop prides itself on their oversized Montreal-style bagels with the softness of a bagel you’ll find in NYC. Though the bagels themselves are swoon-worthy, don’t miss piling it high with toppings. 

As the name suggests, you’ll love their lox. But you can also choose from bagel-based creations like the Southwest, topped with eggs, cheese, salsa, and avocado.
