Katalina's occupies a century-old gas station in Harrison West, run by owner Kathleen Day. The menu runs Latin and Southern, with breakfast tacos, slow-roasted pork, chorizo hash, a BLT, and queso fresco showing up alongside the cafe's signature.
That signature is The Original Pancake Balls — cornbread-textured spheres filled with options like Nutella, apple butter, or dulce de leche.
Harrison West is the original location; Katalina's has since opened locations in Clintonville and Bexley. Columbus Monthly named it among the city's best in 2025, citing Day's combination of flavor, creativity, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
