Freedom a la Cart – once a food cart that was toted around central Ohio – officially opened its first sit-down restaurant, Freedom a la Cart Bakery + Café + Catering, on April 5 at 123 E. Spring St. in downtown Columbus.
The building is about 7,500 square feet, with offices on the top level, the café and kitchen on the ground floor and a commercial kitchen in the basement.
“I think it exceeds our expectations,” said Paula Haines, CEO of the organization. “I can’t think of anything more perfect than this space. I think it just feels like home.”
