This Fox in the Snow Dublin review covers what we ordered, how long we waited, current price examples, and whether this popular Columbus-area bakery was actually worth the hype. It is a good breakfast option for anyone who wants excellent pastries, a relaxed atmosphere, and enough variety to satisfy both sweet and savory cravings.
Fox in the Snow does not accept reservations, so busy mornings may involve a line. During our visit, the food lived up to the strong reviews.
Fox in the Snow opened its first location in 2014 inside an old mason garage in Columbus. The bakery was created to feel thoughtful but unfussy, serving made-from-scratch pastries such as large cinnamon rolls, sticky buns covered in toasted pecans, buttermilk biscuits, and fresh fruit jam.
That original café quickly became a local favorite, and Fox in the Snow has since expanded to several locations around the Columbus area, including Dublin.
Everything is still made by hand, and the cafés feel welcoming rather than overly polished. You can stop in for coffee and a pastry, settle into a table, and easily stay longer than you originally planned.
The menu includes sweet pastries such as cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, blueberry scones, croissants, and morning buns. Savory options include the souffléed egg sandwich, ham baguette, tomato pesto baguette, and ham and Swiss croissant.

All Fox in the Snow locations are walk-in only and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
There were about 25 people in line when we arrived at the Dublin location, and it took around 20 minutes to order. The line looked a little intimidating at first, but it moved steadily.
Once we placed our order, finding a table was easy. Even though there had been a crowd at the counter, the dining area did not feel chaotic once we sat down.
We ordered:
This was plenty of food, and we ended up bringing some of it home.
We definitely did not need everything we ordered, but too many items sounded good to leave behind.
A small reusable Nano Bag would be useful if you plan to explore Dublin afterward and do not want to carry a bakery box in your hands all morning.
The chocolate croissant was incredible.
It was easily the best thing we ordered and something I would get again. The chocolate croissant alone was worth standing in line for.
The souffléed egg sandwich is one of the most popular savory items at Fox in the Snow and gives you a more substantial breakfast than ordering pastries alone.
It was also a helpful addition to our order because we had selected several sweet items. Unless you are committed to eating an entire breakfast made of pastries—which I would understand—I recommend adding at least one savory option to share.
The biscuit with jam is another Fox in the Snow staple and fits the bakery’s simple, made-from-scratch approach.
It is a good choice if you want something less sweet than the cinnamon rolls and sticky buns but still want to try one of the bakery items Fox in the Snow is known for.
Save this for later on Pinterest so you don’t forget it.
The banana bread gave us another sweet option, while the savory everything bagel pastry with cream cheese added more balance to the order.
I would happily order both again. However, there were still so many menu items we did not try that I would probably choose something completely different during our next visit.
We ordered a caramel latte, and it went well with all the pastries.
The drink menu also includes other coffee options, along with tea, matcha, chai, and hot chocolate. Even if you are not a coffee drinker, there are enough alternatives to find something to pair with breakfast.
The portions were generous, especially once we combined several pastries with a sandwich.
You could easily order a few items for the table and split them rather than having every person choose a separate pastry and entrée. A pastry or two, one savory item, and coffee would probably be enough for two people depending on your appetite.
Since the pastries travel well, bringing leftovers home was not a problem.

The atmosphere inside was relaxed and easygoing.
Despite the line we encountered when we arrived, the café did not feel loud or frantic once we found a table. It was comfortable enough to slow down, eat breakfast, and enjoy the food rather than feeling like we needed to leave immediately after finishing.
The café’s natural light and casual design also make it feel more welcoming than a typical counter-service breakfast stop.
The menu includes a lot of tempting options, so it helps to review it before you reach the counter. That may not stop you from ordering too much, but at least you will be prepared.
If Fox in the Snow is part of a full day in the city, my The Perfect 24 Hours in Columbus, Ohio itinerary can help you plan what to do before and after breakfast.
Yes. The wait was manageable, finding a table was easy, and the food was excellent. The prices also felt fair for handmade pastries with generous portions.
Fox in the Snow Dublin is especially good for anyone who wants a casual breakfast with high-quality baked goods rather than traditional pancakes, eggs, and bacon. It also works well for coffee and a pastry if you do not want a full meal.
I would happily order everything again, but there were still so many things we did not try. Next time, I would probably order completely different items until I had worked my way through the entire menu.
I would make an exception for the chocolate croissant. That can stay in the order.

13 creek crossings, a canyon that keeps closing in around you, and a hike I’d genuinely put back on my itinerary, West Fork Trail was the one.
We got to Call of the Canyon at 7:15am and the lot was barely a quarter full. By 12:30 it was 85% full, so if there’s one tip that matters most, it’s this: go early.
The maintained trail is 6.6 miles round trip, mostly flat, mostly shaded, but I kept my regular tennis shoes dry the whole way by hopping across the rocks at each crossing. It’s rated moderate, and honestly that’s about the distance, not the terrain.
Here’s what nobody tells you though ✨ the maintained trail isn’t the end. We changed into water shoes at the official endpoint and kept going another mile straight through the creek, canyon walls narrowing around us the whole time. That extra mile ended up being my favorite part of the entire hike.
5/5 for me. I’d bring the water shoes again in a heartbeat.

Two hours, zero regrets. The Pink Jeep Broken Arrow Tour is hands down one of the most fun things we did in Sedona.
Open-air Jeeps crawling over slickrock, backcountry views you can’t reach on your own, and the famous Road of No Return, steep, thrilling, and somehow completely safe the whole way down.
If you’re picking one paid activity in Sedona, make it this one.

Dinner beside Oak Creek at Cress, and yes, it’s a splurge, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat.🤍
Candlelit tables under the trees, the creek running right beside us, a menu that mixes Arizona ingredients with French technique. We ordered a little of everything: the squash and beet salad, milk rolls with three different butters, sweet potato gnocchi that somehow felt light instead of heavy. Then two desserts because we couldn’t decide. The Vanilla Crème Caramel with Manchego cheese completely stole the show, salty and sweet in a way that sounds strange until you taste it.
Plan on $100–250 for two depending on what you order, and this isn’t the spot for a quick casual dinner, it’s slow, intentional, and worth every minute. Book ahead and ask for a creekside table if you can.

Sky Ranch Lodge, Sedona. Booked it for the location, stayed for the sunsets.
This is not a five-star resort with ten restaurants and a spa menu the length of a novel. It’s a family-owned boutique hotel on Airport Mesa that knows exactly what it’s good at: red rock views from basically everywhere and one of the best sunset spots in town, private, with maybe four other couples instead of a crowd.
We booked a Premier Rim Room and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Watched the sunset from our own patio one night and it’s still one of my favorite moments of the whole trip.
✨ Six acres of botanical gardens to wander morning and evening
✨ Pool + hot tub that hit exactly right after a day of hiking
✨ On-site food truck for easy breakfasts and lazy room service nights
✨ Complimentary shuttle so you’re not fighting Sedona parking
✨ Robes, slippers, and a staff that felt genuinely happy to help
Two stays in and I’d book it again without a second thought. This is where to stay in Sedona if you want it to actually feel like Sedona.
Thank you to @skyranchlodge for having us, link in bio for the full review 🌵
Four hours on a train through a canyon you can’t reach by car — such a fun experience! We picked the indoor seats with unlimited access to the open-air viewing car, which honestly felt like the only right call. You’re not stuck in an assigned seat the whole time we bounced between the two, snacks in hand, chasing the best light.
The scenery is the whole point. Red rock cliffs, the Verde River, a 734-foot tunnel, historic trestle bridges views most people visiting Sedona never see, because you literally can’t drive to them.
The charcuterie box that comes with your ticket is shockingly filling ✨ so skip lunch at the Copper Spike Café beforehand, save your appetite for dinner back in Sedona.
Four hours with no stops did start to feel long by the end, but the trade-off for scenery like this? Worth it.
Would I ride it again? Yes. Would I buy lunch first again? No.
