Probably the #1 Columbus tourist (trap) food destination; expect 30 - 1.5 hrs. waits any/all day(s.) There are no superior cream puffs than Schmidt's in every sane human beings opinion. They've been making plain, chocolate, & a monthly special baked good perfections since 1967. I have no flavor favorite ... buy 1 of each (for yourself.)
Oh, and the chocolate cream, banana cream, and German chocolate cake are also worth the 3 blocks walk.
Tip, eat in our home or else ware, then order in person to go via the desert case to avoid the agonizing hunger pains inducing wait.
