Spicy Cup Cafe & Bakery

First - best churros in the city hands down.After that though it's difficult to interact in the restaurant. Online ordering is down.You can place phone orders in Spanish only.There are no posted menus.Tables are usually dirty.People are friendly and it has a homey feel. A little bit of signage would go a long way to letting me know how to navigate.If you can show up and wait for 15 minutes for excellent churros though, it's worth it.

There was not a menu anywhere or very many baked goods available in the display case. I was not sure what they had once there. I looked at the menu online but it didn't seem like they had half the stuff that was online. The girl behind the counter did pull out a small menu. I ordered something but can't even tell you what it was as it has been a few months since I was actually there. They have some tables to sit at but I took my order to go.

The pan dulce selection is okay. I was hoping they'd have a bigger selection when I was there in Ohio visiting family. The tamales were so good though. I had the green chili chicken which I had never had, but it was so yummy! Customer service was meh which was surprising since this is a family owned restaurant.

Love this place food is fresh and delicious just get there early for your tamales they run out fast!

I never picked up a cup of coffee myself at Spicy Cup but they sell probably the best bread ever. You've got to try their French Bread or as their called "Pan Frances" or "Bolillos" [Boh-Lee-Yos]. Highly recommen.

According to the website, this restaurant offers an abundant assortment of savory food including sandwiches, quesadillas, empanadas and tamales. Five of us arrived at 5:00 for dinner and there were no tamales and only two empanadas. We grabbed the last 2 empanadas and ordered some quesadillas and sandwiches. The food was really really good and if that's all there was to consider, I'd give this place a "5". However, the proprietress speaks very little English and it was really hard to communicate. One of us ordered sandwiches to go which she wanted to stay in the fridge until she left but she never managed to get that across. One of us asked for a glass of water but couldn't get one. A while later, another person asked for a glass of water and she did manage to get one. The other thing is that the prices on their website are WAY off. The website says empanadas cost 1.75 and quesadillas cost 3.50; yet, I was charged $13 for one empanada and one quesadilla. The proprietress did tell one of us that the prices were wrong but not until she actually paid. The prices are still quite reasonable but they should let people know in advance what things cost. I still don't know if they ever have tamales (did they just run out?) or if they're off the menu for good but there was no way to ask that and expect an answer.The actual restaurant is nice and big and clean.

When you hear mom and pop, hidden gem, this here is what everyone is talking about! I was randomly in New Albany and while on my way home towards downtown, I really needed a snack. After quickly discovering Spice Cup on Yelp, I bee lined it there as my tummy was rumbling something fierce. You'll find them tucked off Dublin-Grandview Rd in a small strip mall. There's also plenty of parking out front.I walked in to find a slightly outdated space that was adorned with all kinds of plants. If you know me at all you know plants and greenery are my favorite. A smile quickly spread across my face. Almost immediately, what I would describe as a grandma figure that you automatically want to just hug, emerged to answer my questions and even make suggestions. She pointed out her favorite treat and I snagged one up along with a croissant and a conchas. The price tag was insanely cheap and just like that I was on my way.All in all, if you're looking for authentic Mexican treats, you've found your place. A few of my items were a little dry, but I was there towards the end of the day, and they still hit the spot.

They are cash only. The pastries section is self service. Could not find prices anywhere posted. Four pastries , two tamales and possibly the best black coffee in the Columbus area set me back $14.00 to go. The husband and wife team behind the counter were a true team working the growing line as a puttered through the pastry purchasing process. The tamales and coffee travelled well. Everything had been carefully packed to go.

Been going up and down 161 for years and never noticed this. Stopped in, saw the assorted scrumptious pastries, left with a cheese-jam danish thing and some "tres leches" cake (really seems to be just a strawberry cake, but looks and tastes great.)A fair number of tables inside. Good service. Great prices. Great food.

I've came a few times and no one ever greets me even when I say Hello In Spanish . The woman there does not speak English and if you don't know Spanish she gets irritable and really impatient when asking her to repeat herself. Idk if it's because I am of different background. But I always come in with a smile and kind words. I feel very dismissed. She sold me 2 slices of tres leches cake for $6. Then a few days later she refused to sell me a slice and said I must buy the whole thing for $50. She got really rude Because I couldn't hear her and asked her to repeat herself. Never want to come back again. Be kind and patient with your customers who speak English and don't know your language.
