The updated cafe will operate seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. The refreshed concept expands its selection of matcha, tea, and fruit beverages, as well as tea-infused pastries, chocolates, and gelato.

At the center of the new menu is matcha sourced from a 6,270-acre farm in Yunnan, China. The business began developing the farm four years ago and completed its first harvest this spring, which the team used during the three-month pause to create new offerings.

Manager ZiLin Chen told NBC4 that staff experimented with recipes across multiple applications beyond traditional drinks, incorporating the matcha into gelato, cakes, and cocktails.

Starting at 5 p.m. each day, the business introduces “Tea After Dark,” an evening menu featuring 13 tea-centered cocktails and two house sparkling teas. Customers can continue to order from the regular menu during the evening hours as well.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A popular neighborhood bakery in East Columbus, Ohio, is welcoming back customers following an 11-day shutdown caused by a burglary. The Bearded Baker, located at 2918 E Main St., is scheduled to reopen its doors on Friday at 10 a.m.

Read in Somali ↓

The temporary closure began after an overnight break-in occurred on Sept. 14. A local community member first spotted damage to the building and notified staff. While the owners initially hoped the damage was limited to a broken window, a thorough inspection revealed stolen property alongside additional physical damage to the facility. The store paused all new orders while management evaluated the extent of the loss and began repairs.

Although minor repairs are still underway, owner Matt Estep noted that the remaining tasks are cosmetic. He expressed deep gratitude to neighborhood residents who offered encouragement and asked about buying gift cards to support the shop during the shutdown.

“We just want to thank the community again for how incredibly supportive they have been during this time,” Estep said. “We truly appreciate it and miss seeing them.”

The Bearded Baker originally launched in 2021, specializing in fresh cheesecakes, cookies, soups, and other homemade desserts. In early September 2025, the business relocated from the East Market to its current storefront in East Columbus to expand its operations while staying close to its loyal customer base.

As the shop prepares to reopen on Friday morning, staff are asking visitors to pardon the ongoing cosmetic touch-ups while final repairs are wrapped up.

A Columbus, Ohio resident who dropped his truck off for servicing at a local dealership recently learned it was stolen directly from the lot, highlighting a broader pattern of vehicle and property thefts along Auto Mall Drive.

Read in Somali ↓

Dan Cain took his truck to Performance Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM on Auto Mall Drive, off Georgesville Road, for repairs. After going a week without an update, Cain visited the business in person. Staff initially told him his truck was inside the service shop being worked on. However, shortly after he left, dealership employees called Cain to report that his vehicle had been stolen off the lot the previous night.

Columbus police eventually recovered the truck, which had a smashed front end and a broken rear passenger window. According to Cain, when he sought explanations from dealership representatives, they told him to contact his insurance company and stated that the dealership was also a victim.

Records compiled by NBC4 Investigates through Columbus police incident reports indicate the incident is part of a larger trend affecting auto dealerships along the Auto Mall Drive loop. More than 60 vehicles or license plates have been reported stolen from dealerships in that area since 2023.

Performance Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM recorded the highest number of theft reports on the strip, with 22 incidents involving stolen vehicles or license plates between January 2023 and July. The location with the second-highest number of reports recorded 15 during the same period.

Efforts to obtain information regarding the dealership’s security protocols and steps taken to prevent further thefts were unsuccessful after an attorney and representatives for Performance Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM stopped responding to inquiries.
