Despite being a Jersey Boy, I prefer biscuits over bagels. Yeah, yeah, yeah: sacrilege. But I just think they're so much better and more versatile. And hard to find in the tri state area. But out here in the Midwest they do not play games. The biscuits here at Dough Mama might be worth relocating for. I love the vibe of the place as well as the food. The merch is cool and I just love the whole charming Americana aesthetic. The employees are super swell as well. My pie just came....yes, we stopped by again on our road trip...got a go.

Cutest little cafe in Clintonville with lots of indoor and outdoor seating available on a busy Saturday morning! The servers are always super friendly and helpful, they also have a pass it forward wall with free food and drink cards! Menu has lots of variety, my personal favorite is the quiche. Dessert display always looks mouthwatering and can't recommend the pies enough.

Dough Mama is the best! When someone suggests brunch, it immediately comes to mind. They are famous for their pies but their breakfast and lunch menu should not be overlooked. My all-time favorite is the avocado biscuit with the side salad (you can even buy a jar of the amazing umami soy sauce-ish dressing to take home!). I also have enjoyed many a seasonal quiche. Unique to DM is a wall to the left when you walk in that has slips of pre-paid items you can tear off and present at the ordering counter. If you can't afford a meal or need a little pampering, this is a great opportunity to care for the Clintonville community. Cute gifts adorn their entrance area and the vibe is eclectic and homey.

If you are looking for breakfast.... Go hereIf you are looking for cute cafe that has that locally owned feeling and charm.... Go here. If you want the "perfect" cheddar biscuit... and its a star of many of their menu items- well, it can be found at DoughMama. If you want great service... Go here! If you haven't gotten in your car.... Why, not? We had the avocado biscuit sandwich and the Lox toast. Both out of this world. Cant wait to try more things. I was blown away by every single element of this place. Open til 3pm. Yummy! One of the best breakfasts Ive had in Cbus in 30 years. Thanks DoughMama.Note: the salad is served with a soy vinaigrette, for 2 bucks more you can get Cajun redskin potatoes.... If you dont like soy sauce (like me) --- get those. No thanks needed! So good!

Still a solid five stars. I've been dozens if not hundreds of times since they opened, and every single thing has been good, usually great. Baked goods, meals, coffee, whatever. And always great service.Yesterday stopped in with Baby K. Not a lot of things on the menu for little kids (except all the pastries she wanted,) but we got an egg and ham a la carte, and she had some of my lox toast. Everything was tasty and perfect. They have apple juice in cans, and orange juice in glasses, and I'm sure milk, so she was covered. Service was excellent and kid-friendly, even though it's more a grown-up place. Prices are good for quantity and quality. I have stopped in for lunch, snacks, to commission a pie, always had a great experience and awesome food. The owner and employees make the experience even better.

Wow!! I can't believe I hadn't tried dough mama sooner. The cheddar scallion biscuit was recommended to us by the employees so I went with the ham biscuit which includes a thick slice of ham, fried egg, micro greens, and an aioli! The biscuit is flavorful and soft on the inside but crispy on the outside. I also loved the roasted potatoes and their homemade ketchup. I also tried their seasonal cold brew latte, which was peppermint/candy cane! It was delightful! I hope to come back again and try their cereal milk latte and some of their pastries! The vibe is so cute and cozy as well! All the employees were so kind too!

All I can say is yum. Amazing little bakery and cafe in the Clintonville neighborhood. Great service and freshly house made food. The lox on the lox sandwich was some of the best I have eaten. Stop in, you will not be disappointed.

You wouldn't expect it, but the French toast is as big as your head!!!!! And covered in all the best toppings. This spot is good for a morning walk pit-stop in. Really everything is good and baked fresh. Fresh pies and goods served right at the counter. Coffee is good. Everyone is always so happy and nice. Love the feel of this place. It's cute and charming. I love coming here.

Cool, cozy, chill vibes with a devastatingly craveworthy menu. I fiend for the avocado biscuit breakfast sandwich the way a Gen Z yearns for their vape. Sweet treats and good coffee, to boot. I never skip Dough Mama when in Clintonville-- it is a must-do!
