Came upon location by accident. While waiting 45 minutes to be seated at Cheesecake Factory, we walked across to Northstar just to see what was on the menu. The hostess Mya convinced us to stay and we were not disappointed. This is our new favorite brunch spot. Have been back multiple times. Was informed they have live Jazz nights. The food is absolutely delicious and flavorful……Cheesecake Factory no more!!!!

Just had a fantastic experience at Northstar Restaurant at Kenwood Mall Cincinnati and I’m already planning my next visit! From the moment I walked in, the service was welcoming and attentive. But let me tell you about the star of the show—both on the plate and on the floor. The food was absolutely excellent. The black beans and chicken chili and the Buddha Bowl I ordered were crafted with such care and flavor; it’s clear they take pride in what they serve…
…and then there’s Amary. She was my server, and she completely elevated the meal. So polite, genuinely attentive, and with a bright, pleasant demeanor that made me feel right at home. She’s the kind of server who remembers the little details and checked in just at the right time. Amary alone is a reason to come back—she embodies the warm, excellent service that Northstar is clearly all about.
If you’re looking for a spot with incredible food, a great vibe, and staff who make you feel like a regular from the first visit, look no further. Northstar Cafe nails it!

Northstar Café at Kenwood Towne Center is an absolute gem. Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the quality of the food, the consistency of the service, and the overall vibe. The moment you walk in, the space feels bright, modern, and welcoming — the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch or a healthy dinner. The food is exceptional. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and crafted with real attention to detail. Their Northstar Burger is easily one of the best in the city, and the Buddha Bowl is packed with so much flavor it never disappoints. The fresh juices and smoothies are another highlight — you can taste the quality in every sip.
The staff is friendly, quick, and professional. Even when the place is busy, they keep things moving smoothly and make you feel taken care of. The whole experience is consistently top-notch. Whether you’re shopping at the mall or just in the area, Northstar Café is absolutely worth the stop. High-quality food, great service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere. One of my favorite spots in Kenwood. Highly recommended!

Located in Kenwood Town Center. I had wanted to go to this restaurant for a while. Finally had the time. It has a very clean and attractive looking contemporary design. Various entrances. Service was excellent. We ordered from a menu and served in the dining area. The menu included a couple of vegan and gluten-free options. I selected the vegan burger and strawberry smoothie. The food was a little pricey, but generous. Everybody was friendly, and accommodating. Restrooms were clean. All were unisex. Warning: This is a non-cash establishment. So if you ask for change from a $20 bill for a tip, you will not receive it.

10/10 experience! This is probably my new favorite restaurant in Kenwood! Everything was delectable and plated phenomenally. We loved everything we tried from the Cheeseburger (best shoestring fries I’ve had in a while), chicken avocado sandwich, fish sandwich, to the kenwood salad. We barely got some pictures before we started diving in with how good everything looked. The service is also top-notch; there was a waitress going around asking if people wanted a last cup of coffee before they put away the coffee. The entrees were slightly delayed according to the manager (which is a strong term considering we had a table of 8 and were content waiting), but they were incredibly kind to us and gave us free entrees for the next time we visited. Also can’t say enough good things about the vibes – great lightning all round with tasteful decorations and comfy seats.

Not sure we’ll be back because we don’t get it. Is it a cafe, a bar, a restaurant? Very loud jazz in a pretty overpriced menu truck stop type establishment…with a bar. Huh? Strollers next to musicians trying to stay hip and relevant? Nobody claps because they’re in a mall eating a fish sandwich… yea, it doesn’t fit.

Food was ok – not amazing for the price. Yes, mall prices but this should be a restaurant, not a truck stop.

You order ahead, find a table, then they bring it to you. It’s super loud with the band. Maybe we’ll try it again when we can sit outside in the summer… maybe.

I love this place. Food is fresh and made from scratch. I feel comfortable coming here alone and sitting at the bar for my meal. This trip was lunch but I’ve been here for breakfast/brunch more often. Highly recommend the Blackberry Smash and in the winter I have stopped here for a hot apple cider with homemade whipped topping; tastes like an apple pie. Great to carry out to car or while Christmas shopping.

Can’t say enough amazing things about my first experience here!! Came in to look at the menu, was greeted immediately and explained how the cafe works. Shelby took my order and helped me decide on which side to get. I got the pimento cheese and chips. AMAZING!! She was so kind and helpful and even had a conversation with me after clocking out and getting ready to head home. Beautiful space, beautiful day to open the patio doors, and was able to catch up on work emails over lunch because the atmosphere is just so calm. I will 1000% be coming back here.
