42 Best Coffee Shops near Columbus

“This place is so cute and the ice cream is amazing! There was a nice range of flavors, toppings, and cones including pink and purple ones. The ice cream is sweet and creamy and the shop itself has so much charm.“

“Good service deserves applause. Bad service deserves notes.

This Dunkin’ location in the Homestead Shopping Center is one I keep coming back to—and that says a lot for a place that’s all about routine.

I almost always order ahead on the app and go through the drive-thru, and every time it’s seamless. Orders are accurate, easy to communicate, and ready when I get there. No confusion, no waiting around, no stress.

On the rare occasion I go inside, the store is clean and well-kept, which matters more than people think for a quick stop. I don’t usually order food, but when I have, it’s been fresh and exactly what you’d expect.

What really stands out is the consistency and the people. The staff always come across as friendly and genuinely pleasant—whether they’re just good at their jobs or actually enjoy being there, it shows.

It’s Dunkin’, so you already know the menu. But this location delivers it the way it should be—reliable, efficient, and consistently good.

Round of applause. No notes.“

“My favorite is the raspberry chip, but I also mix flavors. The best part is Sweet Scoop has something for everyone. My husband gets the bubble tea, son gets the yummy mango sorbet, and I love the ice cream. The employees are all kind as I sample several flavors.“

“In the heart of Bordentown city very stylish and cool interior with very friendly and welcoming owners/staff, a favorite spot of locals and visitors alike“

“Tried for the first time wasn’t sure what to order the barista was helpful and accommodating when I asked for a customized iced latte coconut caramel it was perfectly made. Definitely recommend and will be going back.“

“Adorable hidden gem🐱This super cozy cafe is inside an antique store so you can vintage shop after enjoying delicious Czech fare. They also have an eclectic tea and coffee menu. Recommend their bohemian donut with an iced Vietnamese 🍩☕️ The cafe is a part of the Rancocas Woods Village which is an absolute paradise for those who love used bookstores, quaint shops, delectable treats, and green witchy vibes🍄“

“Today I went to the bridge coffee with my kids and had an awesome experience. Feeling alittle embarrassed at my current situation I stood at the pay it forward board I know the owner could tell I was unsure and anxious so he had me order my families breakfast and with the help of the community and the bridge coffee they covered our breakfast.my kids and I are so grateful. The breakfast sandwiches and the e.t iced lattes were so good . It was very nicely set up in their relaxing thank you for your kindness ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Full disclosure, i am a meat eater, but really love the vegetarian/vegan options they have here. I just had their vegan taco salad and could not tell it did not contain meat. It was delicious!“

“Best coffee and service. Peaceful vibe, good place to sit and collect your thoughts.“

“I went to the museum here — the New Jersey Air Victory Museum and then walked over to the cafe to get some food. It was pretty busy which surprised me as it was an extremely cold morning. I think it was about 11AM but I ordered a cheeseburger and fries anyway! Really good and nice portions. I also had a coffee. The service and food was great. Didn't see any planes take off or land but it was still fun and better than I expected. Next time I will try the cheesesteak.“

“Just finished my delicious dark chocolate cold brew coffee. Tasted amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“I came across Palo de Azucar while I was in Trenton on business. I was looking for a spot where they sold not only quality coffee, but tasty brunch as well. If you're interested or already enjoy Spanish food, this is the place! The quality of coffee did not disappoint, but what stood out most of all was the food. I ordered a Dirty Chai Latte with Oat Milk and a California burger, simply delicious (ask for it cooked at a lower temperature if you like medium!) My mother ordered from the International Treats, and this is by far what took the spotlight for us. We had the Beef Colombian Empanadas and were beyond impressed, from the freshness of the food all the way to each and every flavor of the well-seasoned beef. The empanadas are crunchy/crispy on the outside, and every ingredient on the inside is hot flavorful. The Alcapurrias were a show stopper as well, the outside being fried Yucca and the inside beef. The service was quick, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the prices were comfortable and fair. May God bless and prosper this small business here in Trenton, and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to guide them with the splendor of His light through it all!“

“We love this place! Try to get here once or twice a week! Owner is super nice and we love we can bring our pup inside to order but just outside to dine. Cozy atmosphere inside and tables outside.“

“Nu, the Richard Stockton Service Area — this is not a place, this is a whole matzav.

You’re driving on the Turnpike, everything is fine…
then suddenly it hits you:
coffee, bathroom, or just a break before you lose your daas.
Boom — you pull in.

First thing you notice?
It’s busy. Always. Doesn’t matter if it’s day, night, or some random hour — there’s always a chevra coming and going like it’s a mini airport.

Inside, you’ve got the usual lineup — fast food, snacks, drinks — everything you need to keep going.
Nothing gourmet, but tachlis — it does the job.

Now the bathrooms…
Let’s just say, be prepared for a shtikel line sugya, especially during peak times. You might be standing there like,
“Is this a rest stop or a whole event?”

But to be fair — for how busy it gets, it’s usually kept reasonably clean, which is already a big zach.

Seating areas are there, but catching a good spot when it’s packed?
That’s already a bit of a competition.

Now l’inyan a Shidduch date…

Let’s be very clear:
If you ended up here on a date, something went very off-script.

Unless you’re mamash holding in middle of a long drive and it’s a quick “coffee and continue,” this is not the place you planned. You don’t want your first impression to be:
“So… which fast food line should we stand in together?”

That said — if both sides are chilled and laughing about it, it could turn into a funny story for later.
But lechatchila? Definitely not.

Bottom line:
Richard Stockton Service Area is a solid, reliable stop when you need it — food, bathroom, stretch, and keep moving.

You don’t come here for the experience…
you come because you need to.“

“Always best place!! Relax like home! ☕️🍩“

“A lot of the church dinner group enjoyed fish and chips, Barry had meatloaf and I had stuffed tilapia. All the meals were delicious! Desserts were amazing too. Our server, Madison was amazing!!! We will definitely be returning!“

“Had dinner after work. It was so delicious and filling. I had a Malta and Casado with scrambled egg, beet salad and chicken breast. Each one of the components was full of flavor. For dessert tres leche cake… the flan was incredible, it alone was worth the visit of course I got a torta chilana to go“

“Fast and friendly service- Our order is Amazing and Accurate everytime(Barista-Brie)! Please bring back the almond croissant!!!!💋“

“This is my favorite Starbucks location. I think most of them know me by now or should. I'm here way more often than I care to admit. But I'll still be there often and all the employees always make sure I have what I need. ❤️‍🔥“

“Great place, owned and operated by a great bunch of guys. Consistently the best coffee in town, for over 20 years!“

“Only ever ordered online, very delicious, ordered again and again.“

“It’s a good place but sometimes I get my order wrong or they just don’t get me some stuff that I ordered in always order donuts but they never give it to me and I’m abt to go to the counter to ask for the receipt and they throw it away so how was I supposed to know that they got it or not ?‍♀️??“

“The bagels are delicious. They are so soft and fresh! I had one for the first time yesterday and it was the best bagel I've had in a very long time!!! I would definitely recommend The Bagel Joint!“

“I Love their food. Never had a bad experience either in the 3 years we have went there.“

“This Dunkin’ Donuts is amazing fast service and very clean store , the ladies are always smiling , the coffee always fresh and the service is very fast !!�“

“I love this Dunkin and pass by most Saturdays as my toddler’s occupational therapist is 3 minutes away. They move the drive thru line very quickly with a smile, and they never mess up. My toddler’s glazed munchkins are always fresh and this is the only place I’ll occasionally get wake up wraps bc their food doesn’t taste like plastic. They’re cleaning their machines well, which isn’t something I can say for other locations. And, who doesn’t like getting greeted by a screen!“

“Great customer service every-time I go!“

“They always have great flavours and an excellent and very friendly staff. Always great for a pick me up. I have never left there unhappy. And for those complaining about the prices, go to the grocery store and look at those prices. Mary's has kept it reasonable. When the prices they pay go up, the prices you pay go up. They need to survive. I will be a lifelong customer of this place. Mary's never fails to impress.“

“I like Dunkin at Chambers and Liberty. Nancy is the best worker there“

“I usually do mobile orders at Dunkin, which I'm so thankful ?? my orders are usually ready in minutes & my orders are always delicious and meets or exceeds expectations. Those of you who don't use the mobile app yet, I highly urge you to start - there's constant discounts & freebies offered“

“I have enjoyed this DD coffee shop and the people I get to meet. The staff have always been helpful and the place in the morning is always busy but that's a good thing. I have met many of the regulars and a new person comes in almost daily. All in all, I have called this my south office when I was working full-time and now that I am retired, I have enjoyed coming here to meet with others. The other day, having been unable to come, the staff asked me, "Are you OK, we missed you!" Made me feel good.“

“my grandpa works there and they have very good machines and coffee😃“

“Delicious coffee! I just love their coffee and cannot wait to get it!“

“Let me tell you I love this DD. it's my favorite the staff is always friendly. I usually go during the week and they know me and the Manger Rosey she and her crew Rocks. I went over the weekend and the weekend crew took every good care of me. friendly. I want to say thank you for always making me and my family sunset refresher.“

“This is one of my favorite dunkins and I'm sad I live so far from them, But look forward to stopping anytime I am heading to the beach. My drink is always fresh. Today was the first time my drink wasn't made correctly. They accidentally switched out the new flavor, peanut butter for butter pecan on my order. Usually I wouldn't mind but I really wanted to try the new flavor. I went back in the store and they were so apologetic and kind. They immediately made me a new drink, which was delicious. While I have always loved the fresh iced coffee at this location, their customer service was something I had to write a review for!“

“I wouldn’t usually take time to review a Dunkin, but this location deserves recognition. Out of every location I visit in the area, this one is the best. They actually greet you, give you a total and say thank you as you leave. By far the most pleasant staff, most locations have miserable employees. Orders are also always made well.“

“Standard Dunkin/gas station. They will make your order quickly, though. The younger employees speak perfect English. The older ones can be a little harder to understand. But, they always get my orders correct. So, ultimately, it doesn't affect anything. They have skill games, too. If gambling is your thing.“

“when i walked in i was genuinely shocked. the place is amazing it’s like 3 different restaurants in one. dessert, spanish, and italian. the atmosphere is also amazing. out back is very clean with beautiful furniture. this isn’t even all of it. seriously guys. shout to tony man. a real cool guy

Kid-friendliness: ice cream and cookies? that’s all i gotta say.“

“I go there 6 days a week at 6 a.m., never a good morning or thank you and that's with a tip each day“

“I didn't order food, only coffee. They need to get the coffee a little stronger. I get the specialty coffees ☕️ lately they add so much sweetness that you can't taste the coffee unless you get a shot of espresso, which makes a large latte go up to $7.89 that was for one.

Vegetarian options: I see on the menu that vegetarian meals are offered.

Parking: About 20 spots

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps available, no electronic doors.“
