Thanks to reader Mindy B., we discovered this diner tucked away in Bexleynear Block’s Bagels. Try the challah French toast to satisfy that early morning sweet tooth, or grab a classic western omelet with hash browns + bacon.
Switch up your normal breakfast routine with this Cuban diner, recommended by reader Jeff M. Try the breakfast burrito — which is stuffed with scrambled eggs, ham, beans, and cheese — or the huevos rancheros, a vegetarian favorite.
You can still get an egg on your Callahan at Paul’s — live your truth.
This Grandview diner, suggested by reader Nadine F., offers special plates like the Callahan. This is Paul’s take on a no egg omelet where all the ingredients are served on top of home frieswith American cheese + white toast.
Stop by Grandview, Gahanna, or Dublin and you’ll find a Cap City ready for you. Find brunch options like a lox bagel, or treat yourself to a classic eggs Benedict served with red skin potatoes.

The Summer Spray 2022 murals are nearly finished — and they pack a local punch.
The art project, located on Goodale Street between Park Street + High Street, currently features six local artist’s work. But that’s not all — four more local artists will add their design across the next four weeks. In total, the 1,300-sqft mural will showcase art from 10 artists from marginalized communities.
Want to see it in person? You’re in luck — this weekend, the Short North Arts District is hosting another spray session with @nvtivechild, a Cleveland-based artist.
