A new breakfast and lunch spot has opened in German Village, Columbus, Ohio, taking over the former building of long-running restaurant Skillet. The BeckFast Place, located at 410 E. Whittier St., officially welcomed customers late last month.

Founded and owned by Becker Nezballa, the restaurant operates Wednesday through Monday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. It currently focuses on quick breakfast options, including customizable breakfast burritos and bagel sandwiches, with early customer favorites including steak-and-egg and Baja burritos. Nezballa plans to expand the menu to include lunch items such as salads and wraps as operations continue to scale up.

Nezballa, a resident of nearby Merion Village, spent about four years searching for a location before securing the space. His goal was to create a menu centered on items convenient for grab-and-go ordering, while still offering seating for diners inside the restaurant.

The idea for the eatery was inspired by similar breakfast burrito and bagel spots Nezballa encountered while traveling out West. He previously gained food service experience working in restaurants, assisting with a local bagel food truck in Columbus, and helping at a cafe his mother ran for 12 years in Edinboro, Pennsylvania.

The Whittier Street building previously housed Skillet, a farm-to-table brunch destination that opened in 2009 and operated for 17 years before closing in February. Nezballa noted that local residents have been supportive of the new spot, welcoming another local choice for morning coffee and food.

The BeckFast Place oo ka Furantay Dhismihii Hore ee Skillet ee German Village

Magaalada Columbus ee gobolka Ohio, waxaa ka furantay maqaayadd cusub oo bixisa cuntooyinka quraacda iyo qadada oo lagu magacaabo The BeckFast Place. Maqaayaddan ayaa ku taalla cinwaanka 410 E. Whittier St. ee xaafadda German Village, waxayna si rrasmi ah u bilaabtay u adeegida macaamiisha iyadoo la wareegtay dhismihii ay hore uga shaqaynaysay maqaayaddii Skillet.

Maqaayadda oo uu leeyahay Becker Nezballa ayaa furan maalmaha Arbacada ilaa Isniinta, laga bilaabo 7 a.m. ilaa 2 p.m. Nezballa ayaa tilmaamay in maqaayaddu hadda xoogga saarayso cuntooyinka quraacda ee degdegga loo qaato sida burritos iyo bagel sandwiches, isaga oo dhowaan ku soo kordhin doona saladhka iyo wraps-ka marka ay shaqadu si buuxda u hirgasho.

Becker Nezballa oo dagan xaafadda u dhow ee Merion Village ayaa ku dhawaad 4 sano raadinayay goob ku habboon oo uu maqaayadd ka furo. Fikradda maqaayaddan ayaa ku dhalatay ka dib markii uu ku arkay ganacsiyo noocan oo kale ah intii uu ku safrayay galbeedka Mareykanka. Nezballa ayaa hore uga soo shaqeeyay maqaayado kala duwan, harayna u caawiyay baabuurta cuntooyinka ee Columbus, iyadoo hooyadiisna ay maqaayadd ku lahayd magaalada Edinboro, Pennsylvania muddo 12 sano ah.

Dhismaha Whittier Street ayaa hore u lahaa taariikh dheer oo xiriir la leh cuntooyinka quraacda, maadaama ay ku tiillay maqaayaddii Skillet oo la furay sannadkii 2009 iyada oo shaqaynaysay muddo 17 sano ah ka hor inta aynan xirmin bishii Febraayo. Nezballa wuxuu sheegay in dadka deegaanku ay si weyn u soo dhoweeyeen maqaayadda cusub, iyagoo ku faraxsan in xaafaddu ay heshay dookh kale oo loogu talagalay qahwada iyo quraacda degdegga ah.
