Wheelys Cafe: a small shop doing big things

Wheelys Cafe in The Landings is a cozy shop. Two things strike you as you enter: the dazzling array of locally-sourced products of all kinds and the gentle aromas of fresh coffee and delicious sandwiches being made.

Take some time to peruse the varied items on the shelves. You will find quality products from local and regional producers. Georgia Soap Company, Columbus’s own, is made from all natural ingredients and none of the questionable chemicals found in so many products, including ones that claim to be all natural. Striplings brand jerky, sauces and syrups are a must-try. From cookies to pickles, kombucha to cheese straws, Wheelys has delicious offers perfect for gifts or your own home.

When it comes to food, this little shop punches well above its weight class. Enjoy a cup of their locally roasted coffee, which you can sip from your hand made Ug Chug Coffee Mug, and good luck decidin

g on which delectable sandwich to try. All of the sandwiches are made with the best ingredients, and their piled-high Ruben, club on croissant, and maui, with ham and pineapple, are perfect for lunch. If you’re around for breakfast time, you’re in for a treat; starting at 7:30 a.m., it includes southern favorites, like stone-ground grits and biscuits and gravy.

Stopping in during your holiday shopping? Be sure to ask about gift baskets, brimming over with the local and regional goodies from the shelves. And when you’re planning your next get together, whether for family or the big game, taking home a sandwich tray is always a win.

Wheelys does things differently. More than a coffee shop, more than a sandwich spot, and more than a retailer of fine local products, Wheelys manages to pull off all three and to do it perfectly. It’s always a good day to stop at Wheelys.
