37 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“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 had the best first visit this past Sunday. The sweetest barista helped us, and i’m kicking myself for not being able to recall her name. She was kind, patient, friendly and super hospitable. She didn’t mind helping me figure out the menu, and/or what to order. Even making suggestions based on our personal preferences for drinks. My kiddo loved the cozy seating area, too! I wish I could share photos, everything was delicious. Will return!“

“Today we were on our way from NY to Baltimore and when i arrived- i was aghast to see oil pooling around the front drivers wheel.
Below is a detailed chronology of what transpired!

- [ ] As we got out of the car at Richard Stockton service center- noticed oil splattered on driver side and emanating from the wheel- i went under the car and noticed oil collecting under the driver side wheel— PANIC!!
Went in to bathroom— started looking for mechanics/ honda dealerships close by— frantic/ some close some closed— i figured must go to a “ shop”— pulled into the adjoining gas station and ask if there is a nechanic- the old punjab man pointed me in the general direction— i drove by a garage door that was slightly open— peeked in - no one/ knocked/ no one-/ went into the side door of the service center and look for any staff— found a short stocky— hispanic gentelman— asked him if someone can look at car— he said yes but have to get someone to staff the desk— nervously i followed him - he was the mechanic
- [ ] Went under car/ saw the leak- asked me to turn the wheel to get access and pump the brakes—
- [ ] He looked at the color/ smell— not transmission- not coolant// not oil— possible break fluid — im sweating bullets- in anticipation of what hes going to find— he then asked that i open the break fluid cap—-“ filled to the top!!!!” Over filled— luis quickly got a bottle cap/ paper towelsand removed the excess!!!
- [ ] He asked that i start the engine— and checked the transmission fluid - low!!!!
- [ ] We took a picture with louis J
- [ ] Louis went back inside
- [ ] I went back inside to enquire about the transmission level
- [ ] I asked louis about the transmission - he said just purchase it - he picked it out and said dont worry he will help fill it up
- [ ] Louis came back out with the long funnel and added 1/2 quart— transmission fluid!!!

I couldn’t thank Mr. Louis J enough- he is truly a wonderful human being. ANY organization that has the privilege of his knowledge and humanity is a truly a lucky one!!!

I know most of you will just transiently pass through these rest stops, but PLEASE -PLEASE take a moment and say hi to this wonderful human being.

Mr. Stockton ( the signer of the declaration of independence) would be so proud!!!“

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

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

“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!“

“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. ❤️‍🔥“

“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“

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

“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 ?‍♀️??“

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

“Great customer service every-time I go!“

“Service is always great, and quick! food and drinks are always good and look very presentable. The girls are always helpful and sweet.

Though the store is VERY SMALL!!!! only 3 tables, Never anywhere to sit especially in the afternoon.“

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

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Friday May 2nd 1pm very impressed with the service. Counter girl with brown eyes was very friendly, was patient, and did everything right. Kept a smiling face and positive attitude. I wasn't feeling great but her vibrant service really helped pick me up. Coffee was also fresh and made delicious. Thank you“

“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.“

“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“
