Cute bookstore and cafe

Delicious food and cool atmosphere. I had the Mac and cheeze balls, walnut sausage and red pepper Tortuga, and curried potato bao, and my friend had the tacos hermanos platter. Everything was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Definitely will be going back! #Veganuary

I have been to this restaurant so many more times since this initial review and it is amazing every single time. I love the great vibes and the super friendly staff. Parking is easy on the street, and the food is superb. They also sell Happy Little Treats pastries for dessert! And use Happy Little Treats' breads which is why their sammies are always so flaky and soft and delicious.

My favorite vegan restaurant

Two Dollar Radio has been my favorite vegan restaurant the past year. I come here as often as possible. Everything is made in- house and made from scratch. Even their breads are freshly baked from Happy Little Treats. They use very minimally processed ingredients, and cheezes and meats are made from cashews, walnuts, and mushrooms. They have great specials, including Happy Hour, $2 tacos, date night, slider night, and week brunch. They have fantastic drinks (coffee, teas and beer, cocktails), and they even double as an indie bookstore. The atmosphere is light and vibrant. It's very spacious. Another plus is the price. Everything is so reasonably priced for such large portions and high quality ingredients.

Pros: Great drinks, Healthy, House made

Tasty but Sad

Their website says they have $2 happy hour tacos from 3-6pm Tues-Fri, but when I went in, they said that’s only an in-house special because it takes so long for the cook to make them. The cashier said they had just recently discussed this and it was a new thing, but I would’ve come way earlier if that were the case instead of waiting till 3 to eat. So I only ended up getting a burrito which was very tasty and a scrumptious donut, but I’m sad I didn’t get to enjoy the tacos. ($3.50 regularly vs. $2)

Amazing food, love the atmosphere, and mismatch tableware

Food was excellent, we got the hummus which was great and the special this week was the tofu tikki masala which was incredible. There’s a really lowkey vibe in the place and I’d imagine it’d be a great place to get some work done. I know it has nothing to do with the overall quality but I love the mismatch cups and tableware it feels so cozy. Also the workers are very nice!! Overall A will be back

Pros: Food!, Atmosphere, Customer Service

The Vibes *chefs kiss*

Food was great and the coffee too! The vibes here were exactly what I wanted after a work day. Great selection of books, good music, wasn’t crowded when I went. Will definitely go back when I’m in town.

Great Place

All vegan. Seems to have all house made components. Combines great vegan comfort food, great atmosphere, and an interesting selection of books. Large portions. They know how to make a latte. Definitely recommend. Leave time to both enjoy the setting and peruse the book selection. I got their in house vegan cookbooks and I am looking forward to working through them. Tried a breakfast tortuga, sandwich, and the French toast all delicious.

Perennial Excellence

$2 Radio HQ is on another level. Get over here or simply miss out. This one is outstanding.

I recommend the French toast, Gary’s Slamwich, and kombucha on tap.

Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Flavorful

Cons: Could be less expensive

The best vegan restaurant in Columbus

This was my second time here and I got the street tacos which were fantastic. My only note would be that the pickled radish could use a little more acidic bite to balance out the mushroom steak flavor but as for the mushroom steak it was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Factoring price, variety, and quality I believe that TDRH is the best vegan option in Columbus. If only they had a second location on the north end!

Pros: Flavor, Menu Variety, Reasonable Prices

Cons: Inconvenient location

Great vibe

I stopped here many years ago on a trip to visit family in my home state. I was a new baby vegan at the time and this was my first vegan restaurant in Columbus I tried. Great memories. Great spot.

Funky vibe

The place reminds me of the "Hippie" establishments from long ago. Very relaxed atmosphere. I got the Tortuga and my wife got the sandwich with salad. While I do not consider them to be excellent fare, they were both reasonably good and of reasonable value. This is also a small bookstore (I ended up purchasing a book), which makes for an interesting atmosphere; we had time to peruse while we waited for the food to be ready, which did not take long to get. We got the Cream Pie for dessert, which was very good.

Pros: Friendly staff, Relaxed atmosphere

Fantastic food

Went to 2DRHQ , they have a rotating menu. Had the egg plant pambazo. It was crunchy delicious. And sampled a couple of dips. Buffalo queso was outstanding. And the artichoke. This place has beer wine and espresso machine for delicious coffee and tea. Quirky place also is a bookstore. Everything in the store is vegan. Courteous service. Clean and delicious ! Highly recommend it

Pros: Everything in the restaurant is vegan, Lots of different food items., Coffe. Tea. Beer. Wine. Pastries

Cons: Street parking

Books & Food!

This is my favorite vegan restaurant in Columbus. The prices are affordable/well-portioned and the menu has continued to improve over the years. You can check out and buy books while you wait — even their own cookbooks slinging their own recipes of the stuff on the menu. The side salads have really well distributed dressing and are great. If you can snag a cactus tortuga, it is top tier! Really nice folks working. Great pasty selection. Kombucha on tap rules!! Great events take place here, too. Oh I could gush about the place forever.

What a cool place. We’ve eaten here now at least a dozen times and love it every time we go. I love how diverse their menu is, and while getting takeout is great, the real treat is when you eat there. As a truly unique business, they are also a publishing company and have a super cool bookstore concept integrated into the restaurant! They put so much time into crafting unique and delicious dishes and you really can’t go wrong. They even have their own cookbooks where they share their recipes. We own both, but love eating there so much. Bring your friends and family here when they come to town - you won’t regret it! I am always craving the Pambazo and Chilaquiles for dinner and the Bunny Chow for breakfast. Their cocktail menu is SO fun and $6-7 for a really well-crafted cocktail? It can’t be beat. My favorite cocktails are (titles shortened) Pockets and Christmas, both also amazing as non-alcoholic too. Columbus, please support this beautiful business!

Pros: 100% vegan menu, Excellent cocktails (so affordable too!), Wide variety & omni’s will love it too

Cons: Breakfast menu is only on Saturday/Sundays

Incredible

First - love that it’s a bookstore cafe. Second, the menu was vast and descriptive, which was incredibly helpful as I’m gluten free and my friend I went with was soy free. Portions are great - staff is super friendly, everything tasted incredible. I got the Buffalo Mac & Cheezy bowl and it was so good. It can be hard to get vegan mac & cheese right - was not disappointed!

Best Vegan Food Yet!

Amazing restaurant and delicious food- I ordered the Mac and cheeze stuffed tortuga with lentil “beef” and my friend ordered the tacos, one with jackfruit “pork” and one with lentil “beef” (didn’t get a picture) as well as a hibiscus drink. My plate wasn’t as filling as I expected, but nevertheless SO delicious. They also had some baked goods, so I grabbed the raspberry “pop-tart.” Perfect amount of sweetness!

Pros: New options daily, Something for everyone , Great staff

Cons: None

Incredible breakfast!

I was really stoked on this place. The staff is super friendly, the lattes were really good (Chai and hazelnut), and the food was incredible. We ordered the meat lovers Tortuga (my favorite) and the brunch Tortuga. I even loved the salad and potatoes. Also wish I could buy their ketchup. Lol

Pros: Large Portions, Delicious , Nice atmosphere
